Talk:Chris Evans (presenter)

message: I've added this, as despite previous statements there is Google evidence as such. Found this article on Ananova: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_104602.html I have actually seen him in the newspapers and on local TV. The newspapers and local TV both reported as youngest in the world, not the UK, so when I can find further proof I might write something.
::Should be added, if notable, to the disambiguation page. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Mention to Evan's early career on BSB (Before BSkyB) as a presenter on their Channel The Power Station should be given - Anon

message: These are wrong. We have one sentence stating his breakfast show ran 1995-99, and another saying it ended in 2000. There is also a problem in the previous section. I don't know all the facts but there is  contradiction here.
Extra note,  Chris Evans was hosting the Big Breakfast with Gaby Roslin as early as 1992.  It says 1994-1996 in the description under the photo.  Those dates are inaccurate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.100.216.254 (talk) 22:34, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

message: This article is currently rated "B-Class" acc. to some Wiki-project, despite lacking any reputable citations whatsoever. "Z-Class" more like. Total fan page. --DaveG12345 (talk) 00:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Think that situation has slightly changed - add 40+ refs, and I have resultantly removed some tags. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  No references 

message: Surely his autobiographies should also be listed.  One is called "It's Not What You Think", but I can't remember the name of the other one, else I'd have added them--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Just seen it's called "Memoirs of a Fruitcake" and isn't out yet.  Will add them when it is--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:52, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The latter seems to also be advertised as "It's Not About Me: From Billie to Breakfast"--TimothyJacobson (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have listed the both books now (the latter using both titles).  Feel free to amend, but please comment on this page so I can learn from my mistakes--TimothyJacobson (talk) 18:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I removed the reference to Ethnicity because
1. It started as a joke, when ethnicity was originally given as "Ginger".
2. According to the Office of National Statistics, ethnicity is self -defined. You can't just say that because someone looks white then they are "White British".
3. It is not relevant to encyclopaedic content.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiver2 (talk • contribs) 10:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Sorry, Thumperward (tag 19/5/13), I can’t see your point about my lede being too short. Any more would simply be a repetitive list of shows and awards, only interesting to the fan club. These would not impact on the general reader. I modestly reckon to be a pretty good lede-writer, and I think the present one achieves its aim  -  short career précis and defining of notability. If you can specify what elements you feel are missing, I would be happy to review my own work critically. Valetude (talk) 15:18, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: PS Respectfully removing the 'lede too short' tag, in the absence of further comments. Valetude (talk) 16:26, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Is a more recent image available? This is what Evans actually looks like these days - .217.38.79.253 (talk) 08:57, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That link no longer works. But I think it's unlikely that an alternative image can be copied directly from the Daily Mail, now matter how much more realistic it might be. Many Wikipedia articles rely on photos of a subject in their "prime". I would imagine Mr Evans is quite careful about his public image. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:51, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

This is not "encyclopedic" language; it reads more like a publicity blurb. Hundovir (talk) 10:56, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: So feel free to adjust it. But I'm really not sure why there is all that detail on this subject in the lead section. I think that entire paragraph needs a firm trimming. The detail belongs in the main body. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:35, 24 December 2018 (UTC)
