Talk:Michael Palin

message: Is it really very likely that any self-respecting fan would support both Sheffield United *and* Wednesday? Is there any evidence available to show which one he actually supports? Angmering 00:35, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I did some searching and it does seem to be true. See  A message board on palin's travels. Not the most reliable source though. Garion96 (talk) 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On the DVD commentary for the Ripping Yarns episode Golden Gordon, he mentions that the football team wear the same red and white striped strip as "Sheffield United, my team," so I'm going to change the article accordingly. Angmering 23:25, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

text: The still-thriving magazine When Saturday Comes carried an extensive interview with Palin on the United/Wednesday question and football in general in the year 2000. https://www.wsc.co.uk/the-archive/100-Fan-culture/3967-call-yourself-a-football-fan--michael-palin Culloty82 (talk) 21:40, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

message: So it says here: List_of_recognised_people_with_autism_spectrum_disorders
But this article doesn't mention it. Is it true or false, should it be added? --Commking 23:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: searched many internet sites for a ref  to this. Could not find one. Also people with aspergers have normally a certain style of speech (monotonous + "geeky"-- Bill Gates like although his possible aspergers is only speculation and not fact ) and are often poor social communicators -- the exact opposite of palin infact.it was his very opposite behaviour that made me do search for it.  Will search again ,think the mistaken link is something like Palin once wrote a story where one of the charictors had aspergers. if anyone knows of this would be interested....
if anyone wants to know more about people who others think have AS or autisum  ,  see    People speculated to have been autistic

message: Does this article really need an infobox? All the information (which is not much) is given in the lead of the aticle anyway? If people insist on one, isn't there a better one which could give more information from the whole article? (I prefer no infobox though). Garion96 (talk) 01:22, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Since Crestville has added userboxes for all the other members, there should be one for this article, if only for the sake of consistency. They don't hurt... well, to be honest, they don't help particularly either, but they tidy things up.--TrianaC 02:38, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, I just saw that too. My sentiment would actually be to remove all of them. :) I will look through featured articles and see if there is a better one to use. (if it has to have one). Garion96 (talk) 02:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Sorry for the late response, totally forgot about it. How about this one? This one gives a bit more information than the other one. Garion96 (talk) 03:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Just to clear it up... Palin met his wife whilst on holiday in Southwold (see his diaries, it's in there). Also, if you think about the title of the film "East of Ipswich" and then look at a map, you'll see that Stowmarket lies to the NW of Ipswich. CPCHEM 17:54, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The problem with your removal of the flag icon isn't so much that you removed it so much as it is that you cite an essay as a Wikipolicy. It's a discretionary move. Most of the articles I have read that are bios on Wikipedia (Pink Floyd is one that immediately comes to mind), as well as most of the football articles, use flag icons. The essay you quote says use discretion, and declares itself not to be policy or even a guideline. The Cross of St. George flag is not offensive, does not harm the article or its credibility, doesn't make it unnecessarily long or cause detriment in any other way shape or form. My answer to the essay would be, if there is nothing that a flag icon can add, then why why have the icons available in the first place? I put it there in the first place, and I don't really see a legitimate reason to remove it since it doesn't violate any policy. And since it doesn't, I also took the liberty to put it back.

message: In the Himalayan series Palin went to Burma (Myanmar) but this is not shown on the map.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.101.3.40 (talk) 02:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that's correct. I don't recall Palin being in Burma (Myanmar) in the Himalaya program, and it doesn't say that in Himalaya with Michael Palin or Himalaya (book). On this map http://www.palinstravels.co.uk/popup.php?name=him_061_104_map_003.gif it looks like he flew over Myanmar, but that doesn't count, does it? --RenniePet 15:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this and this, he may have set foot in Myanmar at one point, in much the same way he set foot in North Korea in Full Circle.  Patken4 (talk) 23:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Reading a little more on this page, he says "I walk around the chief's hut, in and out of India, measuring its circumference as 250 yards.".   It looks like List of countries Michael Palin has traveled to has Myanmar listed with this information already.  Patken4 (talk) 23:39, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The intentional misspelling of Palin's name on the London Globe's wall of donors was here once. It was John Cleese's prank, as the tour guides are very fond of relating. Shouldn't this most valuable fact not be mentioned somewhere? elpincha (talk) 16:35, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the claim that Palin collects the Danish artist's work because, while reviewing the current Royal Academy Hammershøi exhibition on the BBCs Front Row, Palin stated that he cannot afford the prices at which the artist's works are selling.

message: I was just at the Awards ceremony for the 2008 RSGS Livingstone Medal, which Michael Palin received. It was also mentioned that he received an Honorary Doctorate of Letters from Edinburgh University Geography Department.

message: Hi,
From  He guested as a surfer.
Text from MSN Article:
"And now for something completely different. Monty Python star Michael Palin appeared in Aussie soap Home And Away. Honestly, it really happened. He played a surfer. "I modelled the voice on Hugh Grant, the walk on John Cleese," he said about the role. Unbelievable."
I am a novice Wikipediar so if someone would kindly add this I would be grateful.
Many thanks.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.132.193.251 (talk) 08:55, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I can't get a source so I don't know if it's going to be reverted, but that is DEFINITELY Michael Palin on the Onion's new "Horrifying Planet" Youtube series. They don't even list their writers or credits. But you can compare Youtube videos--but that's Michael Palin. The human brain is evolutionarily Beethoven-attuned to voices and faces, and that's no Michael Palin impersonation.

Please see WP:RS and WP:V to start with. If he is narrating this someone will find a realiable source and then it will be added to the article but it can't go here until then. MarnetteD | Talk 03:14, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Having just watched several of the series I can give my WP:OR that the delivery is very much like Palin's but the Vocal registration is lower than Palin's. That doesn't mean that it can;t be him but you need to provide a source for inclusion in the article. I would suggest you contact the Onion and ask if they can tell you who the narrator is. MarnetteD | Talk 03:30, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It's hardly likely the Onion would tell you that they found a Palin sound-alike—they would want to retain the mystery, they might be concerned about Palin suing, they might want to use the guy again some time... Many possible reasons. The assertion should not be used in this article until or if a reliable source reports it. Binksternet (talk) 07:04, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
