Talk:Ed Harris

Birthplace

Where Ed Harris was born? I found multiple sources that say he was born in Englewood (https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/ed-harris ; https://goldenglobes.com/person/ed-harris/ ; https://books.google.it/books?id=ifl0AkO-KeIC&pg=PA225&dq=ed+harris+born+englewood&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj7m7rKqpKHAxWt_rsIHWsKBQ4Q6AF6BAgGEAM#v=onepage&q=ed%20harris%20born%20englewood&f=false ; https://njhalloffame.org/hall-of-famers/2019-2020-inductees/ed-harris/ ; https://mn2s.com/booking-agency/talent-roster/ed-harris/ ; https://www.youdontknowjersey.com/2013/11/happy-birthday-new-jersey-native-ed-harris/), while others say he was born in Tenafly (https://books.google.it/books?id=RkU3DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT839&dq=ed+harris+born+tenafly&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsoLL0qZKHAxVcRvEDHbWoANgQ6AF6BAgLEAM#v=onepage&q=ed%20harris%20born%20tenafly&f=false ; https://books.google.it/books?id=bkcgAQAAMAAJ&q=ed+harris+born+tenafly&dq=ed+harris+born+tenafly&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsoLL0qZKHAxVcRvEDHbWoANgQ6AF6BAgJEAM#ed%20harris%20born%20tenafly ; https://books.google.it/books?id=IFPqEAAAQBAJ&pg=PT106&dq=ed+harris+born+tenafly&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsoLL0qZKHAxVcRvEDHbWoANgQ6AF6BAgOEAM#v=onepage&q=ed%20harris%20born%20tenafly&f=false ; https://books.google.it/books?id=FL_XWar_K-EC&q=ed+harris+born+tenafly&dq=ed+harris+born+tenafly&hl=it&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjsoLL0qZKHAxVcRvEDHbWoANgQ6AF6BAgFEAM#ed%20harris%20born%20tenafly ; https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ed-Harris ; https://projects.latimes.com/hollywood/star-walk/ed-harris/). What's the right statement? 2A02:B027:F05:E37E:961C:175B:750C:B6CF (talk) 11:45, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

If you look at the map for the hospital in which he was born, according to our article. it is right on the edge between Englewood and Tenafly. I conclude that his family was living in Tenafly at the time but that this was their local hospital in which his mother gave birth. Mike Turnbull (talk) 12:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, but what is the concrete evidence that says he was born in that hospital? Are there reputable sources? 2A02:B027:F05:E37E:961C:175B:750C:B6CF (talk) 12:22, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

The source given is Ed Harris' episode of Inside the Actors Studio, so I assume that means the name of the hospital came from him during the interview. HerrWaus (talk) 19:11, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

@HerrWaus Yes, but a source must be verifiable and where can this interview be consulted? 2A02:B021:10:4181:CB5C:C33B:86BE:A908 (talk) 18:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Some searching suggests that episodes might be available online to people in the US. WP:WPRX may be of help. HerrWaus (talk) 00:07, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Michael D. Turnbull I asked you if there are reputable sources that give this hospital as his place of birth. Can you collaborate and answer the question? 2A02:B025:8013:B42C:C412:657D:92B0:C8D5 (talk) 21:10, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

IP editor. You provided a perfectly reputable source when you linked to the NY theatre guide. I don't know why you are being so persistent in trying to find other sources that might contradict that. The sources that mention Tenafly are IMO just using his family home at the time as his place of birth. I don't care either way. If you want to update the article to reflect the conflicting sources, go ahead! But please don't link the Italian version of Google books, which will just confuse our readers. Mike Turnbull (talk) 10:47, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@HerrWaus Thanks, but I would like to know where it can be consulted. I did a research and I found that it is an episode of the season 7, but it isn't available in streaming. @Michael D. Turnbull Thanks for your kind reply, I haven't linked sources in Italian, but only in English language. Finally, I think he was born at Englewood Hospital, but I hope to find this episode of "Inside the actors studio" to confirm this fact. 2A02:B023:12:A97:A9C3:12D9:601F:8D8D (talk) 11:18, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

All your links above to Google books are to books.google.it which is gives an Italian wrapper to the citation when I click on them. A query like this one on Google.com will link its results into the Google version at your location: your IP address is in Italy. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:49, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm a contributor of Italian Wikipedia and the articles here in Italy are conflicting on his birthplace, which is given by different sources as Englewood or Tenafly. I tried to ask here to resolve the doubt. I linked sources that are in English language for me, but I didn't know that the location of the IP address determined the language. I'll continue my research and I hope to find that episode. Anyway, many thanks for your kind help. 2A02:B023:12:A97:A9C3:12D9:601F:8D8D (talk) 12:08, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
