Inline citations
An inline citation is one that matches up encyclopedic content with the reliable source that verifies it. There are three types of inline citation that are acceptable for Good Articles. One is simply to stick embedded HTML links in the content like this. You will note that there's a lot of typographic garbage in the content, which is somewhat disruptive when you read the article, so it's discouraged by many (including me.) A second is to use Harvard referencing. That means putting a a partial citation — the author's name and year of publication within parentheses - at the end of the sentence it backs up, and the complete citation in a list at the end. This also disrupts the reading.

The third type - the one that most of us prefer - is Cite.php. In this case, there's just a superscript number where you make the cite, and a complete list of citations at the bottom of the page. You enclose a citation in REF tags and at the bottom of the page, you put in a ++References== section. If you have a lot of references, as any good article will, you can use at the bottom to put the references in small type. If there are a hundred or more citations, people tend to use multiple columns, such as

You can use Chicago style, or APA style, or any other standard means of formatting your references. I don't like any of them; I use APA because I have that manual handy. (Actually, APA doesn't use footnotes, so it's not really APA, but....) The big thing with GA reviewers is that for URLs, you need to include a retrieval date, so that if the link goes bad, someone can go to the Wayback Machine and find the original page you used as source. Since multiple styles are acceptable, though, it's unlikely that you're going to be jigged for difficulties in punctuation, the order you include things in a citation, etc., as long as you are consistant, because the reviewer will think you're following a style he is unfamiliar with. And if you have a consistant style that gives all the information, that will meet all of Wikipedia's objectives anyway, so it's no big deal.

Here's an example of an APA-style footnote.

Eustachy Erazm Sanguszko

Prince Eustachy Erazm Sanguszko (1768–1844) was a Polish nobleman, general, military commander, diplomat and politician.

Early life
Eustachy Erazm Sanguszko was born in 1768 to Hieronim Janusz Sanguszko and Cecylia Usrzula Potocka.

French Royal army
In the years 1780–1786, Sanguszko graduated from the military school of Strasbourg and served in the Régiment Royal-Allemand (together with Stanisław Mokronowski) of the French Royal army.

Four-Year Sejm
On 3 February 1789, Sanguszko began service in the Crown Army as a captain in the 8th National Cavalry Brigade. On 5 October 1789, he was promoted to major, and on 28 April 1792, to vice-brigadier. He was a representative of the Lublin Voivodeship in the Great Sejm of 1788–1792. Sanguszko partook in the War of the Second Partition where he fought at the Battle of Zieleńce as a cavalry brigadier, receiving the Virtuti Militari in its wake on 23 June. On 29 July 1792, the 24-year-old Sanguszko was promoted to brigadier, having taken over the command of the whole brigade on 25 June. As the Targowica Confederation had won, he joined the Imperial Russian Army to save his goods and possessions from confiscation.

Kościuszko Uprising
During the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794 he was a major general and a divisional commander. At the Battle of Szczekociny he saved Kościuszko's life. Then during the siege of Warsaw he was wounded.

Napoleonic Wars
He was a member of the general staff of Napoleon Bonaparte during the Russian campaign (with the rank of brigadier general) and took part in the march on Moscow. In the Duchy of Warsaw he was the vice-Regimentarz of the pospolite ruszenie (general call-up).

To protect family land holdings in Ukraine, Sanguszko refused to participate in Prince Poniatowski's 1813 campaign, for which the commander-in-chief, an old friend, punished him harshly with a dishonourable discharge from the army.

Congress of Poland
After the fall of Napoleon, Sanguszko settled on his ancestral lands that included the battlefield of Zieleńce. There he often pondered on past historic events in which he took part and described his thoughts in his "Memoirs". Between 1817–1820 he was the governor marshal of Volhynia.

Family
On 26 June 1798, in Slavuta, he married Klementyna Czartoryska with whom he had three children: Dorota (1799-1831), Roman (1800-81), and Władysław (1803–70). Earlier on he had been romantically involved with Julia Lubomirska.

Honours
He was decorated with the Knight's Cross of the Polish Virtuti Militari and Chevalier of the French Legion of Honour.

A canonical LR parser or LR(1) parser is an LR parser whose parsing tables are constructed in a similar way as with LR(0) parsers except that the items in the item sets also contain a follow, i.e., a terminal that is expected by the parser after the right-hand side of the rule. For example, such an item for a rule A → B C might be
 * A → B • C, a

which would mean that the parser has read a string corresponding to B and expects next a string corresponding to C followed by the terminal 'a'. LR(1) parsers can deal with a very large class of grammars but their parsing tables are often very big. This can often be solved by merging item sets if they are identical except for the follows, which results in so-called LALR parsers.

Constructing LR(1) parsing tables
An LR(1) item is a production with a marker together with a terminal, e.g., [S → a A • B e, c]. Intuitively, such an item indicates how much of a certain production we have seen already (a A), what we could expect next (B e), and a lookahead that agrees with what should follow in the input if we ever reduce by the production S → a A B e. By incorporating such lookahead information into the item concept, we can make wiser reduce decisions. The lookahead of an LR(1) item is used directly only when considering reduce actions (i.e., when the • marker is at the right end).

The core of an LR(1) item [S → a A • B e, c] is the LR(0) item S → a A • B e. Different LR(1) items may share the same core. For example, if we have two LR(1) items of the form

 * [A → α •, a] and
 * [B → α •, b],

we take advantage of the lookahead to decide which reduction to use. (The same setting would perhaps produce a reduce/reduce conflict in the SLR approach.)

Validity
The notion of validity changes. An item [A → β1 • β2, a] is valid for a viable prefix α β1 if there is a rightmost derivation that yields α A a w which in one step yields α β1β2 a w

Initial item
To get the parsing started, we begin with the initial item of
 * [S’ → • S, $].

Here $ is a special character denoting the end of the string.

Closure
Closure is more refined. If [A → α • B β, a] belongs to the set of items, and B → γ is a production of the grammar, then we add the item [B → • γ, b] for all b in FIRST(β a).

Every state is closed according to Closure.

Goto
Goto is the same. A state containing [A → α • X β, a] will move to a state containing [A → α X • β, a] with label X.

Every state has transitions according to Goto.

Shift actions
The shift actions are the same. If [A → α • b β, a] is in state Ik and Ik moves to state Im with label b, then we add the action
 * action[k, b] = "shift m"

Reduce actions
The reduce actions are more refined. If [A→α., a] is in state Ik, then we add the action: "Reduce A → α" to action[Ik, a]. Observe that we don’t use information from FOLLOW(A) anymore. The goto part of the table is as before.
 * S’ → S
 * S → CC
 * C → c C | d
 * FIRST
 * S  c d
 * C c d
 * S’ → S
 * S → L = R |  R
 * L → * R | id
 * R → L
 * FIRST
 * S * id
 * L * id
 * R * id

Kimberly J. Brown

Kimberly Jean Brown (born November 16, 1984) is an American actress. She is best known for her leading role as teen witch Marnie Piper in the Halloweentown film series (1998–2004), co-starring Debbie Reynolds.

Brown first gained recognition for her portrayal of Marah Lewis in the CBS soap opera Guiding Light (1993–1998, 2006), which earned her a nomination for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series. She garnered further critical acclaim for her performance as Ava Walker in the comedy-drama film Tumbleweeds (1999), for which she won the Independent Spirit Award for Best Breakthrough Performance. Brown also starred as Annie Wheaton in the ABC horror miniseries Rose Red (2002), which was written by Stephen King. She appeared in the comedy film Bringing Down the House (2003), the horror film Big Bad Wolf (2006), and the comedy film Friendship! (2010).

Early life and career
Born in Gaithersburg, Maryland, Brown began her career at age five. By the time she was 11, she had enjoyed success as a child model with Ford Models, performed in multiple Broadway shows and earned an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Marah Lewis on Guiding Light. She found work as a voice actress, lending her voice to commercials, A Bug's Life, and the English dub of Vampire Princess Miyu.

At 13, Brown was cast in her most notable film, the Disney Channel Original Movie Halloweentown. In the movie, she played 13-year-old Marnie Piper, a young witch who is determined to learn magic from her grandmother Aggie, portrayed by Debbie Reynolds. In September 2016, Brown recalled an audition for the film in which she had to react to a conversation when it was revealed that the character Marnie is a witch. Brown read for the role twice before being cast. Halloweentown aired on October 17, 1998 and was well received by audiences, leading Disney Channel to produce three sequels; Brown reprised her role as Marnie in two of them. She was replaced by Sara Paxton in the fourth installment, Return to Halloweentown, a decision over which Brown expressed confusion and disappointment. Fans of the franchise were unhappy with Paxton's portrayal of the character and some major entertainment outlets were critical. BuzzFeed said that the first three films were the best thing about Halloween while the fourth film was best left ignored; MTV said fans should act as if the fourth film had never happened. Outside of Halloweentown, Brown also starred in another Disney Channel original movie, the 2000 film Quints. In 1999, Brown co-starred with Janet McTeer in Tumbleweeds which received positive reviews.

In May 2021, it was announced she had joined the cast of General Hospital.

Other ventures
Brown and a friend run the Etsy shop CraftilyCreative, which sells a variety of items, including Halloweentown-themed merchandise.

In 2016, Brown published a Halloween-themed children's book, Poppin's Pumpkin Patch Parade, with co-author Diane Yslas.

Personal life
In a 2010 interview, Brown said that she was close to graduating from college, although she did not disclose what her major was or the school where she was studying. She revealed in 2018 that she had received a Bachelor of Science degree in business.

Brown revealed in 2019 that she has celiac disease.

In 2016, she reconnected with Halloweentown II co-star Daniel Kountz for a Halloweentown-themed project for Brown's YouTube channel, and they soon began dating. In June 2022, Brown announced they were engaged. In April 2024, the couple were married.

Fear and Trembling (film)

Fear and Trembling (original title: Stupeur et Tremblements) is a 2003 French film based on the novel of the same name by Amélie Nothomb. The film was written and directed by Alain Corneau and stars Sylvie Testud.

Plot
Amélie, a young Belgian woman (Sylvie Testud), having spent her childhood in Japan, decides to return to live there and try to integrate into Japanese society. She is determined to be a "real Japanese" before her one year contract runs out, though it is precisely this determination that is incompatible with Japanese humility. Though she is hired for a choice position as a translator at an import/export firm, her inability to understand Japanese cultural and business norms and allocation to work for which she is not suited result in increasingly humiliating demotions.

Though Amelie secretly adores her immediate supervisor, Ms Mori (Kaori Tsuji), the latter takes sadistic pleasure in belittling Amelie. Mori finally manages to break Amelie's will by making her the bathroom attendant, and is delighted when Amelie tells her that she will not renew her contract. Amelie realizes that she is finally a real Japanese when she enters the company president's office "with fear and trembling," which was possible only because her determination had been broken by Mori's systematic humiliation.

The title, "Fear and Trembling", is said in the film to be the way Japanese must behave when addressing the Emperor. For Westerners, it calls to mind a line from Philippians 2:12, "continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling", which could also describe Amélie's attitude during her year at Yumimoto.

Cast

 * Sylvie Testud as Amélie
 * Kaori Tsuji as Fubuki
 * Taro Suwa as Mr. Saito
 * Bison Katayama as Mr. Omochi
 * Yasunari Kondo as Mr. Tenshi
 * Sokyu Fujita as Mr. Haneda
 * Gen Shimaoka as Mr. Unaji
 * Heileigh Gomes as young Amélie
 * Eri Sakai as young Fubuki

Critical response
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 91%, based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 7.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "This tale of culture clash is by turns downbeat and hilarious." On Metacritic the film has a score of 75 out of 100, based on 17 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

A. O. Scott of The New York Times wrote that though there are moments in the film which seem well observed, there are also times when the film slips toward stereotyping.

Kamen Rider Black

Kamen Rider Black (仮面ライダー) is a Japanese tokusatsu superhero-drama television series. It is the eighth installment in the Kamen Rider  series and a co-production between Mainichi Broadcasting System and Toei. The series aired on all Japan News Network affiliates from October 4, 1987, to October 9, 1988. For distribution purposes, Toei refers to this television series as Black Kamen Rider.

The series has spawned a manga adaptation that ran in Shōnen Sunday during its broadcast; a direct sequel, Kamen Rider Black RX, in 1988; and a remake, Kamen Rider Black Sun, in 2022.

Synopsis
The Creation King, the pinnacle of the cult Gorgom. As his life begins to extinguish, the elected Creation King will inherit his power. On the night of their 19th birthday, stepbrothers Kotaro Minami and Nobuhiko Akizuki were kidnapped by Gorgom and submitted to a mutant cyborg surgery to become the candidates for the next Gorgom Creation King. Both of them are called Century Kings and are destined to best each other in a final battle - whoever wins will become the next Creation King. Kotaro escaped before getting brainwashed (which is the final step in the surgery), with help from his foster father, and turned against Gorgom. He soon finds out the horrific truth from his stepfather: Gorgom originally killed his true parents and, since both Kotaro and Nobuhiko were born on the day of a solar eclipse, are referred to as "Black Sun" and "Shadow Moon". Kotaro, taking on the name of Kamen Rider Black, was determined to rescue his stepbrother from Gorgom while protecting Japan. However, later in the series, Nobuhiko emerged as Shadow Moon to fight Kotaro with the survivor becoming the next Creation King.

Talk:Raymond Burr

Hedda Hopper
Hedda Hopper was actor William Hopper's (Paul Drake in the "Perry Mason" series) mother. She was a well known tabloid columnist who was sometimes considered malicious or cruel in who or what she wrote about and/or exposed. She was also known to sometimes adorn flamboyant hats. (ViceFan (talk) 07:46, 10 January 2012 (UTC))

Christian Nyby
Christian Nyby was mentioned in this article as attending a memorial service for Raymond Burr on 10/1/1993. According to other sources, including Wikipedia, Nyby died on 9/17/1993, two weeks prior to the Burr Memorial Service in Pasadena. Unless he was represented in absentia, I doubt he was present :) 24.99.137.135 00:27, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

War record
It appears that much of Burr's war record was fabricated, especially the part about him being injured in Okinawa. I will review this and make the appropriate changes shortly.THD3 (talk) 23:39, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * No, it is not fabricated. The name of Raymond Burr appears on the list of Purple Heart. Gloubik (talk) 16:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I watched a program on the Biography Channel. They covered this controversy, and claimed that the US Navy appear to have no record of his service and wounding as claimed.85.158.137.195 (talk) 08:03, 25 September 2008 (UTC)Lance Tyrell

[Resolved] Ref added. Banje boi 16:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Not so resolved. Hiding in Plain Sight makes a strong case that his entire Navy record, including the injury, was fabricated.  The National Personnel Records Center has no record of a Raymond Burr serving in any branch of the U.S. military during this period, which is quite odd given that he supposedly was discharged as a lieutenant commander.  I've rewritten the text in the article in order to to convey the doubts about this.  Wasted Time R (talk) 11:09, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Really gay?
Below my statement here is a lot of conjecture and rumors concerning this aspect. But, I have to ask...is this question really that important or that big of a deal? Raymond Burr denied being homosexual during his life, and kept his personal life private. There are tons of rumors of him being gay, but they are just that...RUMORS! Maybe he was homosexual...or maybe he just never wanted marriage or to have a relationship with a woman and/or women--and instead put his full attention to his work. There is some possible evidence that Burr had a gay relationship with a man named Robert Benevides...there is also some possible evidence that he had an affair with actress Natalie Wood, at one point. Burr was also married to at least one woman (if not 2) for a few years, before divorce. Most likely he was probably bi-sexual...but we could go on and on with rumor and innuendos forever. I hate and have no use for rumors and innuendos...they end up "dirtying" the waters in any situation.

The fact remains that Raymond Burr is no longer living and can no longer state or prove one way or the other. Since he denied being gay during life and kept his life off the screen private...perhaps we all should continue to honor that and let it all "be". At this point does it really matter? This is my opinion, but I think most can agree that Burr was an amazing actor and could captivate you with whatever role he was playing. He also was a great humanitarian and lover of people and children. Many friends and co-workers have stated that he was one of the nicest actors ever. In 1966, when "Perry Mason" went off the air, Raymond Burr was not only the highest paid actor on TV, he was considered one of the nicest and most popular too. I think we should focus on these aspects of Burr's life and stop all the tabloid/smear/rumor type "garbage" about what his supposed sexual orientation and/or private life was like. Despite what is said below here, I don't think we can ever "resolve" this question--and don't really need to. (ViceFan (talk) 09:00, 10 January 2012 (UTC))

I think it wrong to paint a fellow as 'gay' after death, who refused to paint himself as homosexual in life. "No romantic relationship has ever been proved between Burr and Natalie Wood." And where is the 'proof' of his romantic relationship with Robert Benevides. "However, these details were fabricated in an attempt to hide the fact that Burr was gay." The purported fabrication of personal loss seems quite out of character. The writer of this article is not offended by the discovery of such deception? Then the writer has no respect for truth. The validity of the entire article must come into question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.167.235.11 (talk) 13:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC) User:216.167.235.11

 * In 1950's Hollywood, homosexuality was very much frowned upon. Claiming to be a widower would be a relatively harmless way of asserting heterosexuality, while not having to carry on a pretense of dating, etc.  It is generally acknowledged that he was gay, and it is highly unlikely that everyone who knew him (including his good friend and co-star, Barbara Hale) would lie about him after his death.  Raider Duck 06:46, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

 * I remember seeing an episode of Biography, a TV program produced by the A&E Network in the US, that treated his homosexuality as a fact. That seems to indicate that it's fairly well-accepted as factual. Accounting4Taste 00:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

 * It is the kind of discussion which I find without interest. What counts, it is what this man did, his private life looked at only him. Those which are baited on this question cannot recognize what is important. Gloubik 21:30, 11 October 2007

Much of the article is poorly written, like a press release: I have tried to clean up the English. Rothorpe 23:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Natalie Wood had told a friend that her relationship with Burr had become physical. Finstad's bio of Natalie Wood states this with references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.95.147.164 (talk) 06:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Did Burr ever make a statement saying that he was homosexual? Did the men who were supposed to be in a homosexual relationship with him ever make public statements? If not, then the allegation in the article is just another example of libel about homosexuality that is so frequently seen in Wikipedia articles. Accounting4Taste's reference to a TV show that "seems" factual is an indication of how easily people are influenced. By the way, "homophobia" means "fear of the same."Lestrade (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)Lestrade

 * Burr's homosexuality has been well documented in numerous sources. His former partner, Robert Benevides, to whom Burr left his entire estate, has also spoken of their relationship.  Just because the subject makes you uncomfortable, Lestrade, doesn't justify removing it from the article.  Wikipedia's guidelines regarding sourcing and verifiability are quite clear on this. THD3 (talk) 23:32, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Robert Benevides, Burr's longtime partner recently was interviewed and explained, in part, that most of Burr's relatives have died off so he's no longer worried about offending them. Also, for those who would suggest that this issue has no, or little bearing on Burr's life or work I respcetfully suggest you are quite mistaken. We may never know the true impact of keeping ones sexuality or other personal information private but Benevides does state he is writing his own book and that Burr with a publicist had invented past wives and a dead son to gain sympathy and enshrine his leading man status in Hollywood. An article about the book, not Benevides' but the one out now, is Burr, in the closet during TV career, comes to life in new book.  Banje boi  04:41, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

From an interview with Raymond Burr's partner, Robert Benevides. This is a direct quote about an incident in their relationship in which Benevides felt acting was very difficult for him and they agreed Benevides would go another direction: "That was when I decided that I no longer wanted to do that [acting]. I came home one day to talk to Raymond (we had been together about three years) and I saw how easy it was for him and how much he enjoyed being in front of the camera but it was so difficult for me. It was just agony. He [Burr] said, ‘Well you don’t have to do that any more.’"  Read the quote at http://www.passportmagazine.com/businessclass/RobertBenevides.php?rand=1. "We had been together about three years" isn't a phrase that I've EVER heard anyone say about a friend, but only about a romantic interest or partner. And would you and a friend have a discussion about your career and mutually decide that a change in career direction was best for your friendship? It's pretty clearly a romantic relationship. I supposed he doesn't come out and state "Burr was gay," but he is clearly talking about "being together" and mutual career decisions as a couple.70.231.230.63 (talk) 07:36, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Incomprehensible
After reading this bio, I began trying to edit it into standard English. When I got to the part about Raymond's mother moving to California, I didn't have a clue what the author meant, so I Googled Raymond Burr and came up with many conflicting versions of his life. In one, his mother was a single parent the first 10 years of his life; in one Burr began his acting career in Canada in live theater; another mentions 3 marriages and a son that died of leukemia. I suspect that Mr. Burr invented and re-invented his early life and that this brief bio does it little justice.Ibstubro 20:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

 * All that one finds on Internet is not the truth, it is only the reflection of what believes or thinks somebody. It is necessary to take some and leave some... Gloubik 21:35, 11 October 2007

The comment about William Hopper needs to be revised. William Hopper was gay, despite two marriages, and this was an open secret in Hollywood. Far from hiding his homosexuality from the cast of Perry Mason, they went to great lengths to protect him. See "Hiding in Plain Sight" and recent books about Hedda Hopper. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.15.122 (talk) 03:22, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Involvement in Godzilla
This page details very little of Burr's involvment with his two Godzilla movies. Godzilla being a recognizable world icon, his role as reporter Steve Martin helped introduce audiences outside of Japan to the famous movie series. Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, and to a lesser extent Godzilla 1985, and definitely note worthy films in his filmography.

Cause of Death
At one place the article mentions that Burr died of liver cancer...and at another places it says that he died of kidney cancer. Now, which one of this malign diseases caused his death - unless it was both? --83.250.72.173 (talk) 19:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * His cancer initially touched the colon then was propagated to the kidney. User:Gloubik 16:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually several articles and statements released around the time of Burr's death stated that cancer was originally found in his kidney. However, he put off operating on it to finish filming one of the "Perry Mason" Movies. Sadly he waited too long, and when he went back in to see about operating to remove the cancer from the kidney...it was discovered the cancer had spread to his liver. Ultimately Raymond Burr did die from complications due to liver cancer...even though the cancer originated in one or both of his kidneys. (ViceFan (talk) 07:45, 10 January 2012 (UTC))

Filmology
Wasn't that Raymond Burr as the bad guy in Rear Window? I should think that was a major film role and completely out of character. He was the sort that was the good guy, but was convincing and meancing as the killer Jimmy Stewart was peeping at. Given the success of that film, his role should be mentioned.

Gay? very poorly sourced
This entry on Raymond Burr's personal life presents "facts" that are all sourced to either heresay or one book, the controversial and unauthorized "biography" called Hiding in Plain Sight. This book was written well after Burr's death when he can neither confirm nor deny it's accuracy. This articles' lack of evidence could constitute slander in our legal system. The editor, Benjiboi, on this discussion page, states matter of factly that Burr "was gay." This is not a statement that this editor can make unless he has personal knowledge of such, which he most certainly would not have. Another commenter states that the alleged gay partner of Burr's is writing a book to confirm all this. Well if that is so then any citing of such must wait until the book is published, if indeed it ever is. This substitution of editor opinion and sensationalism in place of of professionalism and basic journalistic fact finding are one of Wiki's biggest downfalls. Wiki will never rise above shady periodical status until facts are treated as facts and opinions as opinions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.37.67.180 (talk) (contribs)06:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Not sure about that, but the article doesn't mention that he was one of the best known news readers in Canada during the 1930s. He had a school for radio announcers in Toronto, so he was well known and must have done this for some years. I will have to research it to figure out the chronology and details.

Personal life overhaul
I reworked the personal life section. I took out a paragraph that read: Burr's biographer, Ona L. Hill, wrote that “no one by the name of "Annette Sutherland Burr" was listed as a passenger on the plane”. In fact, only one of Burr's wives, Isabella Ward, can actually be documented. They were married in 1947 and divorced in 1952; reports of the marriage having been annulled are untrue. The other "wives" appear to have never existed (Sutherland was said to be a British actress, yet British Actors' Equity Association has no record of anyone by that name). The same goes for Burr's "son", who is said to have died from an incurable disease sometime in the 1950s. There is no record anywhere of his birth, existence or death. I was not sure if all the details here were attributed to Hill. I felt that the whole thing needed to be cited (and I put the "citation needed" tag on those details). It sounded like a non-neutral rant to me. I replaced it with a more neutral paragraph that explained the same content.

As I re-wrote the section I took into consideration statements that had been made on this page concerning his sexuality. It seems to me that, at least to some degree, there is a bit of controversy as to whether or not he was gay. For that reason, I tried to balance what had been known about him prior to his death with what was claimed about him after his death. The way it reads now it does not say he was either heterosexual or homosexual. The message actually is that Burr was either a heterosexual man who some people now claim was homosexual or he was a homosexual man who hid that fact from the public during his life time. The reader can decide, because, after all he really took the truth to the grave and either point of view can be sourced by secondary sources. I hope to continue working on this article and some day have it listed as a "Good Article". Take Care--Ishtar456 (talk) 00:15, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

FLIGHT 777: Need to reconcil this page with the BOAC Flight 777-A article where it states: "It has been reported that Annette Sutherland Burr, wife of actor Raymond Burr, also perished on Flight 777. However, Burr's biographer Ona L. Hill writes that "no one by the name of Annette Sutherland Burr was listed as a passenger on the plane" and that Sutherland was on a separate commercial plane between Lisbon and London around the same time as Flight 777, which was also shot down by the Germans" (with two attributions to this - 10 & 11).

Either this woman was on flight 777 or she was not and the two articles should agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.244.214.59 (talk) 13:23, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

 * "Try to live your life the way you wish other people would live theirs."

 * "Perry Mason is a marvelous show because it has so much to do with peoples' lives and television. People were buying television sets when Perry Mason first went on, and it all goes back to that nostalgia."

 * "I'm a fine guy to be an actor. Can't stand to have my picture taken."

 * "I'm too busy to sleep. Actually, my stand-in, Lee Miller, does my sleeping for me."

 * On reprising his role as Perry Mason in 1985: "When I sat down at the defense table again, it was as if 25 years had been taken off my life. I don't think there's anything wrong with returning to a character. I played Macbeth when I was 19, and I would do it again. But of course, I wouldn't do it exactly the same way. Similarly, I hope there's been a progression in the way I play Perry Mason."

 * On being typecast as Perry Mason: "I find myself resorting to tricks and devices. I do things for the sake of the series that I never before would have done as an actor."

 * On people with special needs: "You can imagine what happens with people who are really handicapped and really crippled, that they have to spend hours in wheelchairs. The only time I had any back trouble in my life was from the time I had to spend in a chair. Yet, I was grateful for the opportunity."

 * On his brief romance with Natalie Wood: "I was very attracted to her. I think she was to me."

Burr had earned enormous sums of money from his two successful television series and had vast business interests, but years of extravagant spending, his legendary generosity, market reversals, business expenditures, and increasing taxes had placed the state in a very complicated and perilous position. The remaining assets were substantial enough however, that Burr's will was challenged by his niece, Minerva, who began a public feud with Benevides over who should be his heir. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of Benevides, in part because of the men's professional association. The estate was eventually made solvent again. Benevides remains the proprietor of the Raymond Burr Vineyards in Healdsburg, California which has in the years since Burr's death won awards and numerous wine shows.

Burr and Talman were both professionals and wise enough to realize that new or inexperienced actors could be extremely nervous during filming. In order to calm them Burr and Talman would purposely blow some of their own lines, thereby relaxing everyone else on the set. --Ishtar456 (talk) 01:59, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Burr had always been unconventionally heavy for a romantic lead, but in his later years he became increasingly obese. By the time of his Perry Mason television movies he suffered from several obesity related illnesses including diabetes, high blood pressure, and bad knees, as well as the usual health concerns of aging. --Ishtar456 (talk) 13:16, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Please provide source for this
I really, really tried to find the source of this info. If you know it, please add it:

In late 1992, Burr was found to have cancer in his left kidney, but he refused to undergo surgery as this would have interfered with the shooting schedule of his final two television movies. --Ishtar456 (talk) 13:50, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

You know what is wrong with this article?
Practically the whole thing was at one time a "cut and paste" from a blog http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/DigitalDeliToo/dd2jb-Pat-Novak-for-Hire.htmllog. I might just give up!--Ishtar456 (talk) 14:30, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Good article
Excellent work on this. However, you;ll need to add a full filmography using a proper table. If it is too big for the article then you can create a Raymond Burr filmography. See Clint Eastwood filmography for example. Dr. Blofeld       White cat 12:59, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Sexual orientation
I came to this entry with no pre-conceived notions about Burr's sexuality. I think it's quite clear that he was homosexual and I find no evidence to suggest otherwise. The fact that the first news of this was developed as a scandal story is distasteful but doesn't change the fact. I've tried to re-write much of the article to avoid the scandal-sheet/Hollywood bio tone, and I hope to continue to work at that, though I'm not really a devotee of Hollywood bios.

Burr's relationship with Benevides is well documented and Burr left RB his estate. They lived together for 30+ years. Other sources like Picerni and people quoted in Finstad's book on Natalie Wood corroborate the assessment of Burr as fundamentally gay in the 1950s. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

 * For an acting career that spanned 53 years there is no reason for the Sexual Oroentation section to dominate the article. – Lionel (talk) 01:50, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

So build up the rest!!! We each work on the things that interest us. What have you added? Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 02:30, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm copy this discussion from Lionel's talk page.

 * The "balance" tag you added to Raymond Burr results in a message that says that one viewpoint is being overemphasized. Is that what you think the problem is? Do you have a problem with the view that RB was gay?

 * From the comment you left on the talk page and what you wrote in the edit field, your objection seems to be that the 'amount of coverage is the problem, not the point of view. In that case I think the tag you want is "cleanup-weighted" and perhaps in the right location "expand section" or "missing information". Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 02:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * If you click on the link in the tag it takes you to WP:UNDUE. There is undue weight being placed on his sexuality, and his career is being neglected. – Lionel (talk) 04:43, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

 * The discussion there is about giving undue weight to differing viewpoints. It's about not giving more weight to minority views than is appropriate. That's not what you object to. You have identified no opposing viewpoint', minority or otherwise.

 * Your objection is to the depth of coverage of different aspects of his life. The "cleanup-weighted" tag produces a message that is exactly in line with what you are saying:

 * I'll copy this to the RB Talk page, too. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

I think the difference between unbalanced viewpoints on the one hand and badly weighted coverage of different aspects of a subject on the other are pretty clear. Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 17:56, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Article is very well done, very much thanks to Bmclaughlin9! :) kiranerys (u,c) 19:52, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Agreed. This article is well balanced, and does not place undue emphasis on any aspect of Burr's life.  IMO, the tag should be removed.THD3 (talk) 20:08, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Seconded and ✅kiranerys (u,c) 21:47, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually the "sexual orientation" section is still not appropriate. It still seems rather questionable to me to have such a section at all. The important facts of person's private life are usually compiled in a private life section and the informaton regarding his sexual orientation should be included rather than having a separate section. Moreover the content of this current section seems somewhat unorganized and not to the point, as much of the content isn't really about his sexual orientation at all. This is an encylopedic article, so we should just summarize the most important aspects rather than recounting details ans speculation of the "journalistic research". The whole section should be condensed into a few sentences, which should be included in a private life section.--Kmhkmh (talk) 05:10, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

The section on "Sexual orientation" already appears under "Personal life". I just made some slight changes. I moved a heading and suppressed some info by sticking it in a footnote instead of the body of the text.

The other material on this Talk page shows one reason why we have a heading for sexual orientation and need to do more than just say "Burr was gay" with citations. If you just cite a few authors, they are easily dismissed against Burr's own word. Therefore it became necessary to provide details from the people who are quoted in those citations. A second reason is that it's not just a question of a biographical detail, like John Doe was of Scottish descent or the youngest of four children. Burr was gay and in a long-term relationship 'and lied about his sexual orientation. Lied creatively and elaborately. So something of the texture of his life and the extent of his lies -- an invented child with a terminal illness -- seems appropriate.

Speculation? You'd have to specify what you mean. The assessments of eyewitness contemporaries seem relevant to me, since the issue we are describing is Burr's dissembling and his success/failure at that seems a critical part of his life, how he was perceived by contemporaries and the extent to which he revealed himself to them.

What do you find "unorganized and not to the point"? Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 21:16, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Perry Mason television movies (1985-1993)
Hi, I recently added a section to the filmography for the Perry Mason movies. I was afraid to list them all en masse, as that section is officially a 'Selected' filmography, so I think it may be fine as it is, though perhaps some term tweaking of my additions would be appropriate. Any ideas? kiranerys (u,c) 22:14, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Lost wife and kids in a house fire?
Maybe I'm misremembering, but I seem to recall a newspaper story from my teenage years (mid-60s) where Burr's lack of and wife and kids was attributed to losing them in a house fire. I swallowed that hook, line and sinker; just as most Australians believed that Merle Oberon was one of us, because we were told so and had no reason to disbelieve the fantasy. But I see no reference to any supposed house fire in Burr's article or online. Who am I confusing him with? --  Jack of Oz   [your turn]  22:29, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

An actor's voice is an important physical characteristic
I am replacing a description of his voice in the "Physical Characteristics" section, which was removed. An actor's vocal quality is one of his most important physical characteristics! HandsomeMrToad (talk) 05:01, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

Spurious Note in physical characteristic
The note in Physical Characteristics "A character in a 1989 short story refers to Burr as "grossly overweight" in Ironside." is spurious and was removed. The point about Mason's weight was already established The short story and author, Cheroff, while published, are not of any literary or pop cultural prominence, and its inclusion is more body-shaming than an informative editorial contribution.

Way too gay?
The text goes on and on about his sexuality in several different places. Should be consolidated to 2-3 short sentences in one place, not three. His gayness, though I'm sure sensationally fascinating to some, is not a main feature of his life story. The way the article reads now, we might was well have this way up top in the lead:

Raymond Burr was a famous closeted gay actor who never came out but we knew, oh yes, we knew, born ... etc. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 17:04, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
