Was this article pasted from somewhere? There are lots of tabs in the text. I've introduced some material into this article that I think sheds extra light on the subject. (I found a good BBC article that I have drawn from.) Too tired to do any more re-editing tonight. But I hope someone will pick up, correct and develop upon any mistakes I may have made. Paul Getty is an interesting topic! Johnno2

In retrospect, he is almost invariably known as "John Paul Getty". Should the title of the article be altered? IXIA (talk) 18:05, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As no-one has disagreed with this in nearly 18 months, I'll make the move. --Dweller (talk) 14:21, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article says, "After his father's death [in 1976], he was able to stop using drugs." But then, "in 1984 in a final attempt to end his drug addiction, checked himself into a London clinic." This seems a bit contradictory; furthermore, there's no indication elsewhere in the article that he started using drugs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ortonmc (talk • contribs) 03:05, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Where did he get the 1.6 billion dollars from? 129.247.247.240 (talk) 13:52, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The dates currently provided for the stay at the London Clinic are a bit confusing: entrance in 1984, exit in 1986 and duration of 9 months. I suppose there were multiple stays and 9 months was either the longest stay or the sum of the durations, but it would be nice to clarify. Nemo 11:02, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
