[edit] Conflict
Rachel McAdams's page says she lives in Toronto with her family. This page says she lives with Ryan Gosling. Please fix or clarify if Gosling is considered family. Liek omg!!!!! cookiecaper (talk / contribs) 07:00, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Headings & image
In so far as headings are needed at all in such a short article, it makes more sense to divide the text roughly into half than to place the heading after the first sentence; the whole article is a biography of Gosling, so why have a section that's virtually the whole article called "Biography"?
The image is thumb-nailed so that readers can decide whether they want to see a larger version or not; enlarging thumbs to a fixed size can sometimes be useful in order to make different images fit with each other (and with other elements, such as infoboxes and tables), but otherwise it defeats the purpose of thumn-nailing in the first place. It also loses sight of the fact that different readers will have different browsers configured differently; fixing the image size can radically change its relatinship with text, etc. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 07:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- Mel Etitis it is impossible to win an argument with you, so I am not going for it. :) However, if we divide the text roughly in half, why not just go ahead and call them "Part 1" and "Part 2"? :) :) Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Mormon?
I've removed the "Mormon Actors" category until someone can provide citation. Does Gosling self-identify as Mormon? -Porlob 18:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- I found a citation indicating that Gosling no longer identifes as Mormon. I've added it and the Ex-Mormons category. -Porlob 19:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
- Um, was he ever self-identified as a Mormon to begin with? I think we need to see a citation as to that preexisting religious preference to even mention it.
- Actually, Gosling identifies himself as "Jewish", as mentioned on the following Youtube video clip: Interview with Ryan Gosling from "Lars and the Real Girl" at 01:32 --124.187.143.148 (talk) 11:56, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Citations Needed
The article is rife with uncited statements which, of course, we cannot have in Wikipedia. Please find references for all of the unsourced statemetns, or they will have to be removed. Normally, this would be lax, but this sort of removal falls under BLP, and so it needs to be sourced right away or removed. I'll check back a few days. At that time, unsourced data should eitherbe cited or removed. Arcayne (cast a spell) 22:55, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm working on some of it. A lot of the cn'ed statements are easily verifiable; it's just a matter of googling. María (habla conmigo) 23:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think I've covered all of them. Does it pass? María (habla conmigo) 00:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] A Londoner ?
I have challenged on the London, Ontario page that Ryan Gosling should not be noted as being from London. Although he was born there, he never spent enough time to be considered a Londoner. Based on his bio, he grew up in Cornwall and migrated to Burlington. I think he would consider those places his home. Can anyone shed some light on this. 216.191.213.114 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 15:36, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
