Grammar error[edit]

First paragraph: "While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested him to take it seriously." This should read "While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested he take it seriously." Source: Master's degree in English, ten years as newspaper editor.

The Finisher[edit]

In "Rise to fame" under "Acting Career" it says "In October 2014 he revealed that he would be shooting a new film, The Finisher, in March 2015."

NOT at the storming of the Capital[edit]

Rumor is that Chuck Norris was at the storming of the Capital because of pics of a guy looking like him. Counterargument is that he can’t have been, or would've turned the building over with a roundhouse kick. Joking, but may end up being worth noting.

Politics[edit]

Ban evasion by User:HarveyCarter.

Norris is far more well known for his involvement in far right politics than for his acting career, so the lede should mention this. (86.149.119.210 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)) 86.149.119.210 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You'd need some strong sourcing to include that in the lede. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:50, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think he's more known for his superhuman skills...--Jack Upland (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Woodies Wharf in Newport Beach[edit]

In 1988, Chuck Norris, a longtime Woody's mainstay, bought the place as a present for his wife, Diane, who managed it while legendary actor and martial artist.

Chuck and his firsts wife Diane once owned this well know restaurant in Newport Beach. https://www.ocregister.com/2013/09/13/the-five-the-power-of-chuck-norris-naughty-newport/

"Mark Serventi, co-owner of Woody’s, confirmed the action star owned the restaurant in the 1980s. According to Woody’s website, Norris owned the restaurant and hired another martial arts action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme, to work as a bouncer." from the Orange County Register.

spelling error[edit]

Martial Arts Knowledge Infobox[edit]

Does the martial arts knowledge section really need an infobox? It also has the same picture as the infobox for the main article with an incorrect caption. Alienmandosaur (talk) 15:51, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

added blank image parameter to infobox to stop image/caption being pulled from wikidata. Random fixer upper (talk) 20:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Max International, LLC[edit]

How is there no mention of Chuck Norris becoming a spokesperson in 2013 (with his wife) for Max International, LLC — the highly questionable multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme? Given how this is so widely known that talk show host John Oliver cited Chuck & Gena in describing the fraud on national TV, it's worthy of inclusion: {{cite web |last1=Oliver |first1=John |author1-link=John Oliver |title=WATCH: Multilevel Marketing: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6MwGeOm8iI&t=207s |website=youtube.com |publisher=Last Week Tonight |language=en |format=video |date=November 7, 2016} Theaternearyou (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Career: 1958 to 1969 - multiple inconsistencies[edit]

In the "Career" section for 1958-1969, there are multiple inconsistencies in the final two paragraphs. First, after describing some of his other competitive defeats earlier in the section, it is noted that, "In early 1968, Norris suffered the tenth and final loss of his career, losing an upset decision to Louis Delgado." However, later in the same paragraph it is stated that, "It was the last time Norris participated and retired undefeated." I am not sure how these two statements can be reconciled. Further, the first sentence of the following paragraph then contradicts the statement about his retirement in 1968, "In 1969, during the first weekend of August, Norris defended his title as world champion at the International Karate Championship." While it is possible, of course, to retire and un-retire from a sport, the gap here is only around 9 months. 129.137.96.20 (talk) 13:39, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
