I'm not sure about that accent on the a in Julia. Wetman—Preceding undated comment added by Wetman ( talk • contribs) 21:57, 24 October 2003 (UTC)
Everyone thinks of Street Fighter but he made an HBO film in late 1994 which was released in 1995. While I have no access to his schedule, it seems far more likely that he completed Street Fighter before working on the HBO film. -- feitclub 18:37, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
"He also starred in the big-budget film Street Fighter as the villainous M. Bison."
Removed the "big-budget" part, because $35 million [1] is not really much for an action movie.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Stormwatch ( talk • contribs) 03:26, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
I seem to remember reading that Raul was openly, flamboyantly gay. This would certainly seem to make death from AIDS much more likely if not a certainty. By the way I am gay too and proud of it.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.118.101 ( talk) 22:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
I seem to remember that Raul Julia was openly, flamboyantly married for 25 years and had 2 kids. Also, nmost of the top of this article was stolen from The Puerto Rico Herald [2].—Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.39.166.127 ( talk) 16:55, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
The statement "…which had at various times been advanced to the public as his diagnoses, underlying HIV/AIDS infection was seen as a very strong possibility - but was never publicly confirmed or proven." is irresponsible! The fact that he was suffering from stomach cancer alone can explain this weight loss and general physical deterioration. Michael David 21:21, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Did he die from a stroke or stomach cancer? Is it possible to die from both? It doesn't seem likely. -- Chris Griswold 12:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
The statement He was survived also by his first-born son Raul Julia-Levy aka Raul Julia Jr, born in Mexico City on July 10, 1971 is not really supported by any of the external links currently listed. Given his widow apparently disputes this claim I think "alleged" or "self-claimed" would be accurate, but without a verifiable (reliable) source that can be cited I think this statement is too strong. -- Rick Block ( talk) 14:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Mr. Julia-Levy (Raul Julia, Jr.) contacted the office and has supplied his passport and birth certificate to us. These obviously cannot be posted online. However, if you look at the voluminous links regarding the controversy surrounding Mr. Julia's widow and natural son, this has been an ongoing issue for approximately eleven years. I did not get into the specifics of the legal action which has been taken, but someone may want to do some digging based on the reporting on the page. For now, he has certainly provided documents which prove his identity.-- Brad Patrick 16:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Pardon my Wikipedia naivete. I have two questions:
1) I understand from the above section that 'facts' must be verifiable through 'secondary' sources. It strikes me as odd, however, to apply that standard to legal documents. Refusal to publish would seem arguably defensible were there an accusation of forgery, or were WMF to have a reason to suspect the document's veracity.
2) Perhaps this too is a WMF construct, but it also strikes me as odd that there's absolutely no reference to Julia-Levy's claim in Raul Julia's biography.
If nothing else, Julia-Levy LOOKS an awful lot like his 'father'. 69.76.142.218 ( talk) 03:46, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Wouldn't "cueva del chicken" be "cave of chickens", not "chicken cave"? Consider "cueva del pollo" being "cave of chicken", rather than "chicken cave". ... aa: talk 20:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Am I the only one that feels this article is messy? Panda—Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.158.150.53 ( talk) 06:56, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
What about his eye accidentally coming out of its socket? He was on the Letterman or Arsenio Hall show when it supposedly happened. Lestrade ( talk) 03:00, 17 November 2007 (UTC)Lestrade
The IMDB bio, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000471/bio, has his birth name as Raul Rafael Carlos Julia y Arcelay. The Carlos part has come and gone here. I don't know for sure which is correct (google search is sort of interesting). -- Rick Block ( talk) 00:56, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
The sentence that discusses his Nationality needs to be fixed somehow. Saying that he "was a Puerto Rican actor who lived and worked for many years in the United States" is, quite honestly, a bit like saying "he was a South Carolinian actor who lived and worked for many years in the United States" or "he was a Hawaiian actor who lived and worked for many years in the United States". Last time anyone checked, after all, Puerto Rico was a part of the United States. Julia was a US citizen by birth, just like everyone else born in Puerto Rico... does the fact that he lived and worked in the continental US really need to be made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.84.26.82 ( talk) 04:12, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Who is the genius who made the last name 'Juliá' when in fact there is no accent mark at all? 207.38.156.111 ( talk) 01:40, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
His name is Juliá, as can be seen here [3] another example is his uncle Charles Henry Juliá Barreras El Johnson ( talk) 22:27, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
[4] it mentions the Premio Raúl Juliá, it is from the senate of Puerto Rico. You claim the last name does not exist yet there are also references to his uncle in his article Charles Henry Juliá Barreras that prove that the last name exist. Why dont you provide references that it does no exist instead of just reverting edits. El Johnson ( talk) 22:47, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
Actualy the reference I provided is from the senate of Puerto Rico, I did mention another wikipedia article because it is about another individual with his same last name, and that article has ITSELF CITATIONS, so I might consider your arguments almost laughable. At least I provide citations... you on the other hand have provided nothing costructive El Johnson ( talk) 22:12, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Again, you are not providing anything constructive to Wikipedia, what does your alleged Phd help your claim if you don't provide any citation or reference to back it up other than your "word" and your alleged education? I could say that I am an Inmortal in the Real Academia Española and yet if I don't provide any reference to any given claim then it is worth only my word. I invite you to, instead of criticizing, why don't you do something constructive and look up some evidence to support your claims, afterward s I also welcome you to cite in Wiki and "prove you know what you are talking about" El Johnson ( talk) 16:32, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
According to the Google Translator, Raúl Rafael Juliá y Arcelay translates to Rafael Raul Julia and Arcelay. How does that rate? 63.3.2.130 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
What a nerve to say that the name "Julià" doesn't exist... It is a catalá last name, my grandmother was a "Julià" as my father carries in his last name "... i Julià". Those assertions with self-righteous people only makes Wikipedia less credible... ( http://genealogy.familyeducation.com/surname-origin/julia)—Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.15.20 ( talk) 20:13, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Not that this argument is even still alive or anything, but the only sources anyone should be citing should originate with Mr. Juliá himself, as it is the subject's preference that should determine how his name is spelled in the article, whenever possible. In this case, all you have to do is google his autograph to see that, yes, he always accented the ú and the á in his signature. Krychek ( talk) 19:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
