gay actor[edit]

John Wesley Shipp is a gay actor and has been out for awhile, why is this not mentioned in the article?71.162.251.239 (talk) 05:41, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If Shipp is gay, he's never spoken about it publicly. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:596D:1BC7:FE86:BA7A (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

key note address[edit]

John wesley shipp did give the key note address to the graduating class of Wake Forest rolesville highschool. Class of 1998. The only article I could find on it that validates it was an interview with him. http://www.bigfanboy.com/pages/interviews/johnshipp/shipp.html

Photo[edit]

There's a photo currently on the main article page of Shipp (the shirtless photo) that gives 1990 as a date. That is not correct - it also shows his role on Guiding Light as an identifier and based on that, and his appearance, the photo is probably closer to 1980, or the early 80s when he was on that show, in any case. 2603:8001:2A00:7428:596D:1BC7:FE86:BA7A (talk) 14:40, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what can be done about this – someone would have to find the original publication for this image. It might be from a soap opera magazine. But someone would have to find the actual publication, and pull the (date) info from there... In the meantime, I will remove a specific date from the caption. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 14:55, 24 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
