"You're leaving yourself wide open..."

[edit]

The sentence "Rosenbaum was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, into a Jewish family." is exactly the sort of statement Borge would have followed with a wisecrack. (Think about it.) A rephrase -- or the addition of such a wisecrack! -- would be appropriate. (I just added the wisecrack -- 02/19/2017.) WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:12, 29 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

WikiP articles are not a place to play the comic. You can certainly do this sort of thing on your facebook page or blog but not in article space. MarnetteD|Talk 18:27, 19 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
I can't think of a more-appropriate article in which to make such a wisecrack. I can imagine Victor Borge's reaction to your censoring me. WilliamSommerwerck (talk) 16:51, 20 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

I'd like my name to be in blue also (whimper) :) in the Wikipedia write up about Victor Borge. I was the operatic foil for yrs with Victor Borge. I graduated from the prestigious Academy of Vocal Arts, Philadelphia,PA...won some awards, capped by being chosen as a winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions, albeit 1966....performed with New York City Opera, & symphonies. Besides, blue is my favorite color! :) :) Thank you. 68.192.40.216 (talk) 22:19, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

It's very difficult for anyone to get an article about h-self into Wikipedia, and without that: no blue for you. Sorry! --SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:50, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

The article says he married an American lady in 1933 and then later moved to America. It says he spoke no English when he came to America. Soooo...how did he speak to his American, presumably English-speaking, wife? There needs to be some explanation, because the way it's written, it makes little sense. ~2026-28912-43 (talk) 23:18, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

I live in a retirement community in Southbury CT. One of the buildings was Victor Borge’s house. ~2026-34326-42 (talk) 16:41, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
