Jerry Lewis Spoke Japanese?

Upon seeing a partial interview of Dean Martin he had a comment on how Martin had never had the ability to speak Japanese as Lewis had. Which brings up the question: Did Jerry Lewis actually speak Japanese, or was he only mimicking Japanese as most Americans always thought?

Date of death?

Insane number of citations

What's going on that we should have such a huge number of citations in the Personal Life section? I mean, why do we need six citations attesting to Lewis' first marriage, five attesting to one son, seven attesting to his second marriage? Is there something controversial being cleared up by all these? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 20:34, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yes, there is a woman who claims to be his illegitimate daughter and some editors used to keep adding her to this section DonaldD23 talk to me 23:22, 12 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
But why does that require multiple citations? What the hell is going on here? Template:Tq And this is just nutty. Template:Tq Such sources: a strongly negative review of a ghost written bio; an anonymously authored memorial page; and an entry in a catalog for the same bio? Same paragraph also includes as source a stock photo of Lewis with a wife at a footprint ceremony...it's like these things were tacked on not as references but like popular culture sections, "Jerry Lewis had a picture taken with a wife and someone else, and we just mentioned that wife, so let's put the picture as a reference." This over-referencing does not in any way improve the article; and arguably detracts from it by hiding the actual verifiable reliable sources to support our statement of facts. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 03:19, 13 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
