Simon and Sasha

Are Simon Baron-Cohen and the apparently related Sasha Baron Cohen, (simply) brothers or (close - i.e in sehr enger Verbindung - cousins) ? 'cause both theories are to be found in the piece. Sroulik 09:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some people are consistently attempting to claim that Sasha Baron-Cohen (Ali G) is Simon Baron-Cohen's brother. He is not. He is is his cousin. Check here [1], here [2], and here [3]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by edhubbard (talk • contribs)

They are cousins indeed, I'll add that--Exult 01:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How is that significant at all? Just because of Sasha's recent popularity, all of a sudden this is trivia? WhatTheFace? 18:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Links

I wanted to draw attention to some of the references at the bottom of the page (footnotes numbered in the text) which seem to be bordering on advertising rather than biographical material. Two of those relate to products which are being promoted (one of which in the edit box shows "free delivery to the uk", and a third link relating to his "grandfather's brother", in which the supporting article makes no reference to either Sasha or Simon Baron-Cohen.

Can someone please advise whether these links (and text relating to these in the biography) should be there?

Trivial?

I'm uneasy about stating that he is Jewish as an item of "trivia". Richard Pinch 20:12, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit

I am too confused by the wording to attempt to clarify it myself. I am unsure if the section was translated or is simply in need of a rewrite. Single quotes are used throughout for a reason I am unable to determine.

Examples:

"According his proposals autistics implicate all new sensory perceptions by a ‘indirect (unconscious) recognition -system‘." 'Implicate' does not make sense here. Single quotes seem to indicate that Baron-Cohen created this term, which is then not explained.

"This system uses ‘one whole of understandings’, and has also likewise experiences within." Again, single quotes may be inappropriate here; I am unsure what this is supposed to mean.

"That includes ‘input, output and everything between‘, that is associated with ‘the outside -world’." Sentance fragment, unclear.

"It is not a linear way of interpretations, but more a multiple-fundamented -interpretation." What does 'multiple- fundamented -interpretation' mean?

It does read like one of those motherboard manuals translated from Chinese or Thai by a translator who doesn't actually know English very well, doesn't it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.176.105.36 (talk) 12:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

That's because it wasn't written by an Aspie. I would translate it for you, but I can't stand this man's work and would be unable to maintain NPOV. In my opinion,he only contributes to the continuing discrimination against females on the spectrum, who continue to be underdiagnosed.Berkeleysappho 09:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Date, place of birth, parents?

Anyone have these details? --ukexpat (talk) 19:18, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am also searching them. Masterpiece2000 (talk) 14:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image

The images are going to be deleted unless someone knows how to follow through on this; I don't speak images. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 00:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confused links

I don't understand what the following is trying to do:

[[EQ SQ Theory|females develop faster in [[empathy]] and on average males develop faster in systemizing.]]

Quite a lot of this page has been deleted it was all referenced, dunno why the links were valid.

Why delete stuff about his media appearances, like on sex tv... anyone know who the person sb205 is? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NigelPettersmithHugh (talk • contribs) 10:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article issues

Do you know if Baron-cohen is editing this page, a lot of people do this, isn't there a bias or somethin?

One of my friends who has an autistic son emailed him and got the same email address as the sb205 user login, coincidence? What are the wiki rules about editing your own page? Is it OK?
