Naming of article

Shouldn’t this be Matthew Perry (actor) or something? I don’t know about Matthew C. Perry, but no one ever calls the actor “Matthew L. Perry” (I didn’t even know his middle name until I saw this). Adam Bishop 21:15, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Dunno if there is a rule on this, but IMHO adding a “()” disambiguator is a last resort; middle initial is a better choice if available. Someone typing in “Matthew Perry” who doesn’t know that it’s ambiguous isn’t going to be any more inclined to “Matthew Perry (actor)” than “Matthew L. Perry”. Stan 16:32, 16 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I think this article could be cleanup a little bit. Maybe separate it into difference subtitles? Gadig 21:57, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Is it just me or does the following sentence not make sense?

“They all sent Perry to the warehouse full of stolen cars where Perry and Deutch gets busted by the FBI for buying the car off the black market.”

And why does this happen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.28.119.221 (talk) 11:10, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Is the infobox really necessary? I’m not a fan of information being doubled up in articles and there is nothing in that infobox that isn’t already in the article. —195.93.21.135 07:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

If that was the case then every infobox in the whole wikipedia should be taken down. It’s just a tradition, get used to it! Belueberry 02:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Surely a better picture can be found than the pixellated one we have now. Belueberry 02:31, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I Agree — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.180.59.72 (talk) 04:59, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

can we please have a better photo of perry? that picture is really horrible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.110.189 (talk) 00:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Klinjon – “I have a much better photo of Matthew Perry, it’s a close up promotional shot of his character from Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, but Wikipedia left me a message stating that I have to tag the image I have for licensing purposes, or something like that. Can anyone tell me how to do this so the picture that is currently displayed can be changed to the one I have? I agree that the current is horrible; Perry has been clean for a good 2 years now, and I could even go as far as saying that the person who uploaded the current image doesn’t think particularly highly of him, which isn’t fair on a wikipedia article as it is supposed to be unbiased.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by Klinjon (talk • contribs) 23:40, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Where’s the proof Klinjon. As long as he is still smoking that picture should stay. —Preceding unsigned comment added by
