message: I am removing the "Kt" from his full name since according to the Knight Bachelor page this is incorect.   It will now read Sir David Jason OBE. Dowew 01:35, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: I agree David Jason is "highly regarded" and "admired" (he's my favourite by far!), but isn't this a point of view (despite it probably being everyone's!)?
:Not really. To say that he's a great actor would be PoV, but I don't think anyone can really dispute that he's "highly regarded" by most people, and admired by many. SRHCFC 16:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This entire page is lifted from www.davidjason.co.uk, it should be referenced and possibly better researched. I am sure that as a knight he deserves better.

: Erm . . that web address (   www.davidjason.co.uk) is giving “server cannot be found”.  So maybe this edit was a wind-up?

message: Can someone confirm whether David Jason makes a very brief cameo appearance as a newspaper salesman in the movie "The War Lover" starring Steve McQueen & Robert Wagner? The likeness is remarkable.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.55.22.210 (talk) 02:38, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Surely it should say something along the lines of 'A Touch of Frost' and 'Only Fools and Horses' have had roughly the same number of nominations and wins? Which, according to the table, is true. This would be opposed to saying that OFaHs has had more, with AToF only having a few, which, according to the table, is not true. 92.2.29.149 (talk) 18:52, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 16 November 2018 

message: Anyone got a copy of our man’s (2013) autobiography, David Jason: My Life (Random House)?  And fancy checking out a couple of things there?
The TV.com piece (?2012; Hughes, Heather. "David Jason". TV.com. Retrieved 13 June 2012.) seems not a reliable source - assuming we’re right to say it’s an "urban myth" tht "he chose his stage surname, Jason, as a tribute to his twin brother who died at birth,"  and tht "David Jason himself has denied this."  (TV.com simply says, under Trivia, "David chose his stage surname, Jason, as a tribute to his twin brother who died at birth.")
What’s really daft is tht (at present)    our article cites the TV.com piece as source for saying it’s an urban myth.  (Our statement tht "David Jason himself has denied" the story has no citation.)
So a bit of sorting out seems needed.  Presumably the autobiography is the place to look.

thread_title:   Sources, sources  

message: A search for "David Jason Trust" yields mostly listicles that seem to have copied the charity name from this Wiki article. The oldest result is a blog post from 2011 which does not cite a source. The Wales Online article from 2013 cited in this Wiki entry is all about the event and aftermath which allegedly inspired the creation of the charity, and it makes no mention of the David Jason Trust or any charity. In light of all this, as well as age of this tag (at least 9 years), and the BLP status of this article, I am removing the mention of the charity from the article. Please restore it if you have found a source for this charity's existence! TomFitz77 (talk) 07:30, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
