question?
[edit]I am curious. Does "tragically in 2002" that sentence about his stroke, violate NPOV? It seems to... or are things like the death of anyone allowed to use such language.
- Hm, that's an interesting question. -Bordello 17:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- I guess, if you're glad that he had a stroke I suppose....
Picture
[edit]Can we get a new picture? This neither accurately depicts Lane, nor am I sure it is within fair-use policy. In fact, I'm just going to take it off. -Bordello 17:04, 9 August 2006 (UTC) Well, maybe not. It might be important to note that he was a character on Celebrity Death Match, but it seems at least a disservice to have the only picture of him here as a poor claymation characature, caught through a screenshot with the background all buggered. -Bordello 17:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree about this pic. It is maybe of note that he was a character on death match, but to use that as the main pic for the entry is not only in poor taste but also misleading. I will remove it.
- I also agree and his Celebrity Deathmatch voice work should not be in the first sentence basic summary of him. Quadzilla99 19:15, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
- i added a real picture maybe we can put that CD one back now tooYourname 00:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Character
[edit]I thunk there should be an article about the Celebrity Deathmatch character.
Fights
[edit]I think the link to the fights he officiated would be nice...
--
He officiated over Tyson's first title fight when he captured the WBC heavyweight championship on 11/22/86 from Berbick. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coloursinmyhead (talk • contribs) 03:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Edit notice change
[edit]Note that Template:Editnotices/Page/Mills Lane mentions biographies of living persons, but he is now dead. I have previously replaced the edit notice with a different one, but that was in contravention of an editing restriction that I had forgotten about. To rectify the situation, I've reverted myself and I'm now seeking any consensus about what, if any, editnotice this page should have. Thanks and sorry. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 18:44, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
