Talk:Charles Bronson (prisoner)

message: The page is in, amongst other categories, English criminals, English artists, and English writers. The man's from Aberystwyth! That's in Wales! Not England! Okay, so he moved around, but the majority of his life outside was spent in Wales. So surely he's Welsh?
:It seems the categories have been replaced with 'British criminals', etc. That seems uncontroversial, but personally I don't see any problem with putting him in the Welsh versions of those categories. We've already got him in :Category:People from Aberystwyth, which is part of :Category:Welsh people anyway. Robofish (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The only way English categories would apply is if his parents are / were English or if he considers himself English. Does anyone know if that is the case? Merely living in England for years would be insufficient. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 07:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Born in Luton, considers Luton to be his home town, spent alot of time in Cheshire. Doesn't speak Welsh or even have a Welsh accent. As above, I would also suggest that Welsh categories would only apply if his parents were Welsh or he considers himself to be Welsh. I know it's not much to go on, but in the film Bronson, neither of his parents are Welsh. White43 (talk) 11:55, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It says he in born in Luton but it also states he was born in Aberystwyth, what is it? conflicting messages is ruining this. The film Bronson is historically inaccurate and played up for the sake of cinema. OwainCai (talk) 19:04, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nationality 

message: I've removed the sentence "aided by the fact he had shown no sign of violence for the past seven years" from the section about his parole hearing. Life Sentence prisoners are legally entitled to a hearing a minimum of every two years once their tariff has expired (Bronson's expired in 2003), regardless of their behaviour in custody. I'm also not sure it's correct. If someone wants to include a section on his recent behaviour go ahead, but please source it properly Bluebloodyhero (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

are there criminals in other countries who didn't gain notoriety until *after* they were incarcerated?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.101.160.159 (talk) 18:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Thomas Silverstein was known as the United States' most dangerous prisoner for a long time, in fact he is why ADX Florence was created. Silverstein was a federal prisoner and the United States has a large prison system encompassing both federal and state levels, so it is hard to say who is the most dangerous. Time was when being a federal prisoner was the hardest time you could do in America. Now it is worse to be a prisoner in California, Texas, or Florida - and certain inmates in those systems might have taken Silverstein's title. 47.137.181.252 (talk) 07:09, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

"Auction of Bronson's art raises £1,500 for brave friends
25 May 2011
bronson
THE Talybont brother of notorious prisoner Charles Bronson has presented a £1,500 cheque to two victims of extreme violence, for them to go on holiday.
Mark Peterson, brother of the inmate dubbed Britain’s most violent prisoner, auctioned two pieces of Bronson’s artwork to raise money for Tirion Lewis, of Penrhyncoch, and Miriam Evans, of Trisant."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tynllidiart (talk • contribs) 05:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  His current relationship with [[Aberystwyth]] 

message: The Daily Mail and The Mirror are not reliable sources. Other publications should be sought for the sentences that cite these papers. I'm also wondering about "On 12 November 2010, Bronson was involved in another incident in Wakefield prison’s F Wing..." because the covering-himself-in-butter incident was portrayed in the film 2 years prior.

message: Perhaps a photo of the man...I dont know, seems appropriate.--Aaronsdavis (talk) 11:44, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: There are plenty of photos of the man, many of them intended for publicity purposes. Whether there are any legally available for use on Wikipedia is another matter. I believe it's appropriate for any article to contain a relevant picture. 86.138.235.0 (talk) 21:23, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  No photo 

message: Charles Bronson became 60 years of age yesterday. Simplicius (talk) 23:34, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  60th birthday 

message: This article seems to depend hugely upon primary sources in the form of books written entirely or in part by Bronson himself. Can somebody qualified give an opinion as to whether this is a good or bad thing? There are other references, but relatively few. 86.138.235.0 (talk) 21:21, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It definitely needs more secondary sources, such as mainline media - The Guardian. It relies too much on his book, and seems to be mostly a listing of transfers and violent incidents. Surely there must have been some serious articles written about him.Parkwells (talk) 19:40, 10 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Primary sources? 

message: I keep hearing about Charles Salvador's artwork, this article mentions that some of it was on public display, and won multiple awards. Yet, I cannot find any info / photos of them. I'm assuming there aren't any photos of them here because of Wikipedia's overly-paranoid fair use policies. I'm not meaning to infringe copyright; is there anywhere I can get a low-res version of anything he's done?
On a side note, I can legally obtain images of artwork that is not in the public domain; Wikipedia is bad for not having photos of something at all unless it is 100% in the public domain. I thought low-res images of artwork are covered under fair-use? Thanks for any info.

message: In a C4 documentary Bronson’s mother stated that his father (her husband) was a boxer “with a short fuse” and Brandon was exposed to this violence at a young age. Should this not be included? Rustygecko (talk) 21:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
