Talk:Stewart Lee

message: :He wrote and performed comedy at Oxford University in the 1980's in a revue group called The Seven Raymonds with Richard Herring, Emma Kennedy Michael Cosgrave and Tim Richardson.
Can anyone confirm that this is the same Tim Richardson that is linked to?  It may well be but it's a common enough name and there's nothing at that entry (eg rough idea of age or biog) to confirm it. Flapdragon 00:11, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Tim Richardson

message: I'm not sure a link to a section of a stand-up routine --- which is (deliberately) very unclear as to the truth-value of the anecdote --- counts as a verified source. --Newshound 17:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ang Lee trivia 

message: Removed something about him attending a Weight Watcher's group.  Not sure if this was serious to begin with, but there are several reasons to removed it:
- Unsourced, not really verifiable and liable to change at any given time.
- Not particularly noteworthy or worth mentioning.
- Personal and private, surely?  Not particularly nice or necessary to put it on his Wikipedia entry.
:I wasnt the person who put it there, but he did mention it in his recent standup. Hpmons 19:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trivia section 

message: "In October, he presented a forty year tribute to Star Trek on BBC Radio 2 <...>"
That's some feat, considering October is only 31 days long. I'm not convinced that the author meant exactly what they have said here. Maybe it was the fortieth anniversary?
I might change this to reflect my assumption. DanTheShrew (talk) 15:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  What would Judas do? 

message: Has anyone a picture of him from that time? He was looking quite different and an image would add real value to the article.--91.39.78.5 (talk) 09:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text:  Well, seeing as it WAS written by a publicity agent or the subject himself, the best thing would be for the author to fix it himself, since none of us care nearly as much. If that can't be done we'll whittle it down to a decent encyclopedic entry by and by. We certainly don't need to know -- for example -- that Armando Ianucci announced there would be a second series of Comedy Vehicle and such: these things can be remedied by simple deletion. But such is the idiocy of Wikipedia that there'll be an outcry if the 'work' of some editor is simply being excised for irrelevance. (Yes, I am deleting it.)Sartoresartus (talk) 15:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

text: It wasnt, I wrote a lot of at least the lead and have not recieved a penny yet (note to self: Lee is a handsome, but thight bastard; must search for refs). The page does, however suffer from the same trivia problem that most stand-up's articles do; a lot of it is a disjointed CV; he did this, then he did that. SOFIXIT.  Ceoil (talk) 15:53, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Have cut about half of the rest. Its not nice when publicity people stuff bios like this. Christ guys, Wikipedia is not a bill board. Ceoil (talk) 16:12, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Oh, yeah! Stewart Lee is adopted. I completely forgot. Are there enough sources to prove it? He was rejected by both of his parents. Waycism (talk) 08:24, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Lee's middle name, which is Graham, is not included in the article for who knows what reason. I've had a check of the history and from what I can see, back in 2010, this edit removed it during an overzealous correction of vandalism, and it was just never put back. So I'm putting it back.
In 2013 someone removed its addition as 'unsourced'. Well, there are plenty of sources if one cares to Google: The Times, Companies House, reproductions of fan mail responses and press clippings on fistoffun.net, etc. --2.98.184.227 (talk) 20:35, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

message: I noticed that the article had huge chunks of it removed a while ago. Not my place to determine if that was the right move, but anybody willing to update the article might find it interesting. --Ihaveacatonmydesk (talk) 23:09, 16 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a fill-in section "1993-2000: Television" which simply points to L&H, FOF and TMWRNJ articles, where much of this "missing" stuff is detailed. It's arguable whether this period is worth summarising at more length on this page, or not. My thoughts are: leave it at "main article" links plus maybe only a sentence or two; let the individual articles cover the detail, it's already covered better in those individual articles, and isn't specific to Lee as a solo artist. However it's not right that this period got completely removed, since it was very popular at the time, and well remembered now. Andrew Oakley (talk) 12:02, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a more recent photo of Stewart Lee? The one on the article at the moment is ok, but Lee has aged quite considerably since 2008 - it could possibly be illness related though as I remember he once told an audience that he had to eat a jacket potato every day for medical reasons (he might have been joking, but in the context he said it, and the fact he didn't keep repeating it over and over again, I assumed he was being serious).
