Talk:Michael Sheen

message: Although he has returned the Insignia, he keeps the Rank. He is still officially Michael Sheen OBE. BritFlicks1 (talk) 16:50, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely correct. There is no formal mechanism to renounce an honour once it has been accepted. He is still formally Michael Sheen OBE. Please do not delete the postnominals. -- Necrothesp (talk) 22:34, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Any recipient can request that the honour not be used officially so using the postnomials here would be inàppropriate given Sheen's renunciation of the honour. This is similar to how while the Duchess of Cornwall is entitled to use the title Princess of Wales and the Earl of Wessex's children are entitled to the title HRH they are not referred to as such. Same with the Duke of Sussex's child. 104.222.122.60 (talk) 03:01, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: That is not the case here. The use of courtesy titles is different to the award of an OBE; Sheen suo jure still holds his OBE. Sdrqaz (talk) 00:42, 31 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Source please which states he should still use OBE postnomials? 104.222.122.60 (talk) 05:08, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

message: "Michael Christopher Sheen (born 5 February 1969)[1] is a Welsh actor, producer, and political activist"  That last bit of the first sentence is weird considering that the article contains pretty much nothing about his political opinions, political activism, ideology, party membership, etc - I'm essentially clueless.   Actually his charity work gets a headlined section but politics gets nothing.  Perhaps it should say he is an actor, producer, and contributor to charitable causes? 94.255.196.73 (talk) 12:28, 10 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a section on "Political activism", but "Charity work" is a much bigger section. I'd suggest using both or neither. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Politics?

message: An IP editor is repeatedly changing the description of Sheen as Welsh to read "British". Per MOS:ETHNICITY there needs to be editor consensus before any such changes to nationality (see note a). I am asking the IP editor to explain why that description is better so that we can then evaluate and reach consensus. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

message: The timings in the early life paragraph don't make sense. Hpw can they live in Newport for 12 years but also move to Wallasey when he's 5 and to Port Talbot 3 years later? ZoboneisetheOboe (talk) 22:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
