[edit] Biography assessment rating comment

The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. --KenWalker | Talk 01:02, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I think it may be worth mentioning that the vast range of facial expressions he made in all his mugshots was the particular feature of Mr. Earl that led him to internet fame, not JUST his police record -- everything from pissed off, to happy, to stoic, sad, party-time cool, beat poet stare, etc. He even had a Cosby look, wearing the trademark sweater, in one of his mugshots.

Also, I'm not sure if that other person's edit was vandalism. As Henry Earl is arrested often and numerously, why wouldn't it be alright to update this page once in a while with the statistics? Unless, of course, those "April 19" statistics were made-up. --I am not good at running 03:05, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Statistics for Henry

The Statistics for Henry on Wikipedia show a lifetime number for arrests and days in jail. Those numbers are actually just since 1992 when the Fayette County, KY jail started keeping computerized records. He has actually been arrested thousands of times since becoming an unemployed drunkard in 1969.

[edit] Nicknames

Is it worth pointing out that he calls himself by those nicknames? (I've seen him call himself "Shaft" and "Jet Li" before, although "James Brown" is the one he's stuck to. I'd just add it to the article, but it's clearly OR and probably unverifiable. ) --Starwed 18:05, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My Goal in Life

Is to have a page on Wikipedia, with "Occupation: Internet meme" listed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.143.78.229 (talk) 16:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
