Governor of Wisconsin[edit]

Wisconsin gubernatorial election, 2002 gives a table of the candidates, without mentioning Rebane, and if he did run in that election, he didn't receive many votes. Note that the table on page 925 of this also doesn't mention him; he isn't mentioned anywhere else in that source.

The main source is "Famous Wisconsin film stars", which is not published by Badger Books, but by some small Wisconsin outfit[1].

This source, apparently by Van Beest, A. J. (2002), was likely published for Ashland Daily Press. According to this, the author is a Pro-Am tenor sax player - no mention of being a reporter. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 12:50, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Did Bill Rebane write this article?[edit]

It seems very congratulatory with accomplishments for such a b-movie director. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.14.135.115 (talk) 07:21, 23 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree entirely!

"Supposedly"[edit]

The Personal Life section says:

Rebane had supposedly married wife Barbara J. Rebane in 1957 at age 20 and He also stated that he had had his first child at 21 which was supposedly Randolph Rebane.[16]. He had three more children. Supposedly the youngest and youngest girl was his daughter, former actress Angailica who has been in Croaked: Frog Monster from Hell, The Devonsville Terror, The Demons of Ludlow, and many others.[17].

Why is every statement qualified with "supposedly"? If this is questionable information, qualify the whole paragraph and explain why it's questionable—or just don't mention it at all if it's a potential BLP violation.

The paragraph is also full of minor errors of punctuation, capitalization, etc. --157.131.202.156 (talk) 05:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Additional Projects[edit]

The "Additional Projects" section is mostly about never-completed projects. Whatever "The UFO Files" and "From Roswell with Love" are, they were never released, aren't mentioned on IMDB, and don't have any search hits. However, he has actually completed a number of projects since coming back from retirement: 2 episodes of a TV series "Tiny Tim and Friends" were filmed but as far as I know never aired, he released a 2004 movie called "Ghostly Obsessions", and there's something named "Pickled Movies" that I can't find any info about. According to IMDB, he also has completed (since 2015) but not released documentary "Silver Street: The Lotta Morgan Story". I'm not sure if any of this can be reliably sourced. But the existing list of projects isn't sourced at all.

If nobody can find any references, it's probably better to not give any specifics than to give specifics about a few random projects that probably were started, but were never finished, and have no reliable information anywhere. --157.131.202.156 (talk) 05:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
