== Note on a RfC about "military careers" ==
what was the outcome of the 1987 lawsuit?
There is currently a discussion and a RfC on ]'s article about his so-called "military career," noted by an infobox module. Since his military service, similar to that of ], was for a few years and ''before'' their actual careers began, inserting a massive module in the standard infobox, as in this article, seems both misleading and erroneous. For Newman, his "military career" module takes up about 25% of the infobox, while his notability is for being an actor. And like the others, he never had a "military career."--] (]) 02:07, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

== Voice acting ==
Dear IP,

please explain first why you wish to remove the "voice acting" designations, but only if the last edit log and it's content did not convince you. Thank You(] (]) 19:19, 6 February 2018 (UTC))

It's basically the same thing as acting, as I explained it in the edit summary of the edit. Only if they are notable to have more than 100 voice credits, like ] and ] for example. Because not ever celebrity on here is credited as a voice actor, just a few. ] (]) 16:44, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

:: I am torn between both points you guys are making. I agree that Newman shouldn't have a voice acting section, however the section shouldn't be deleted until someone moves these credits in the respective year of release.] (]) 19:05, 25 April 2019 (UTC)

== Major films intro? ==
His biggest performance in my mind is Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), should be mentioned in the intro. It is a spell to see it. (But it is not in the style like his later cast.)

The main text writes:
In 1958, he starred in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), opposite Elizabeth Taylor. The film was a box-office smash, and Newman garnered his first Academy Award nomination.

--] (]) 12:13, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

== Redundances ==
1. "That performance led to his breakthrough role as Rocky Graziano in the film Somebody Up There Likes Me in 1956. The Dean connection had additional resonance. Newman was cast as Billy the Kid in The Left Handed Gun which was a role originally earmarked for Dean. Additionally, Dean was originally cast to play the role of Rocky Graziano in Somebody Up There Likes Me; however, with his death, Paul Newman inherited the role."


:Not sure what you are referring to, but if indeed we talk about a lawsuit whose resolution is not available, we may want to omit. Commercial disputes are common and may not be notable. ] (]) 19:47, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
''Somebody up there likes me'' and Rocky Graziano are repetitive.
:The suit was actually filed in 1985 and was dismissed! I've taken it out. Thank you Mr. or Ms. IP. ] (]) 20:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)


== wrong ==
2. "For Newman's support of Eugene McCarthy in 1968 (and effective use of television commercials in California) and his opposition to the Vietnam War, Newman was placed nineteenth on Richard Nixon's enemies list, which Newman claimed was his greatest accomplishment."


his father was not the son of immigrants from hungary, because there were no hungary, it was "Kaisertum Österreich". ] (]) 12:04, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
The double "and" is not good.


== Newman = original: Neumann ==

in german language there exists no Newman, but Neumann. Newman ist the english translated version of the german family name Neumann. So imo his grandfather changed his name in this english version by immigrating in USA.
== Newman German ancestor ==
He hat definitely german ancestors, because Newman is english for german Neumann, a frequently german family name. It is no polish family name. ] (]) 06:50, 12 October 2022 (UTC) wiki: As of 2023 it is the 18th most common surname in Germany. ] (]) 12:07, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
