message: I don't know of any singing career that Butler has.  If he has one, someone can put that back in the introduction.  That he played a character that sings in one movie doesn't necessarily make him a singer.  There are a lot of actors that have been in musicals that aren't listed as singers in the first lines of their biographies.  I think listing him as a singer in the opening line is misleading.  It gives people the false impression that he has a dual career both as a singer and an actor.  Chicken Wing 18:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Isn't this a rather odd thing to list in this actor's profile? Wouldn't this imply that he portrayed Count Dracula from 1995 until 2002? — Preceding unsigned comment added by NeilN (talk • contribs) 17:10, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

message: He studied at university to be a door-to-door salesman?  Seriously?  This sounds to me more like someone who is unfamiliar with English (at least British English) trying to translate the word "solicitor", which in America indeed can mean "door-to-door salesman" but in British English actually means "attorney", "lawyer", or even the likewise British "barrister".  
I could be wrong, of course, but I don't know of any countries where you have to go to a university to study to be a door-to-door salesman.  Your parents typically want you to get a higher education so you don't have to resort to being a door-to-door salesman.

message: Why have two editors randomly decided that a map that explores the work of Gerard Butler and company on his first leading role in a Shakespearean film isn't worth adding here? What gives?
This map includes the following:
1. pictures and poster of Butler on set and in publicity
2. interviews with Gerard Butler
3. videos that discuss the fact that it was his first big role in a Shakespearean film
4. he's the leader of the Volsci: of the top roles in the play/film, his is #2.
Perhaps you need to spend a little time exploring what the map adds to an understanding of Butler's acting career?
Thanks,

message: Is there any reason to classify him in the lead as "British" rather than "Scottish"?  There have been a few anonymous users over the last week or so that have been persistently changing the nationality from Scottish to British.  Yes, Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, however Scottish seems to be a more accurate term due to specificity.  For example, we generally classify individuals born in England as English and people born in Scotland as Scottish on Wikipedia.  Since the subject was born in Scotland, I don't see any reason to justify British as being a better term here than Scottish.  -Aaron Booth (talk) 22:19, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Usual policy here is to leave nationality as is, unless there is very good reason for changing it. It also helps to follow as much as possible what the person themselves self-identifies as, rather than what editors may wish to label him (for reasons of their own).   I've done a bit of searching around, and can find far more sources reference him as Scottish than British.  I also can find many interviews/articles where he discusses his fear of losing his Scottish accent.  So I would say it's safe to keep his description as "Scottish", there is no good reason to change it. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 18:51, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

message: The career section is a bit jumbled. The first two sections repeat themselves and the chronology is all mixed up. In the third paragraph he's 30 and it's listing jobs he had in 2004, then in paragraphs 4-6 we're back in 1997-2003. Some of the phrasing is a bit odd as well - e.g. the bit where it says he ran into an old friend from youth theatre and then says "at that time, he was her boyfriend". I'm not sure I have the writing ability to fix all of this, but I'm just leaving a note here in the hope someone who does have the ability to untangle it all could do so. 119.24.200.63 (talk) 23:34, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
