Talk:Michael Cole (actor)

message: I removed the material below and have stored it here on the talk page.  It is pretty obvious to me that it has been lifted verbatim from IMDB, it's in the reversed chronological order to Wikipedia style, and the importation has created formatting problems that would take me an hour to resolve.  Plus, frankly, it repeats quite a bit of what's written in prose in the article and the remainder is cruft.  If someone cares to reformat this and make it oldest-to-newest, go right ahead.

thread_title: Year of Birth

message: Michael Cole was born in 1940 not 1945. The source we are using is Cole's autobiography and I see no reason why he would falsify his birth date, let alone add five years onto his age! What we really need is a reliable secondary source but the incorrect year seems to have been circulated widely so this might be a futile exercise. This source doesn't look very convincing, has hardly any information in it, has probably picked up the incorrect birth year from another unreliable source. NNDB is an aggregator site that has also probably picked up the incorrect date from elsewhere. This is a circular wiki source so cannot be used, but highlights that his birth year is incorrectly shown on the July 3 wiki page. We need to stick with 1940 and correct the related wiki pages (also Michael Cole dab page). Rodney Baggins (talk) 08:11, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mole 

message: Why does the article say John Cooper (Cudlitz's character on Southland) "struggles with...his homosexuality." Cooper's homosexuality does not seem to be a struggle for him, he is not belittled or discriminated against by his colleagues, and his relationships don't seem any more difficult or troublesome than any of the heterosexual characters on the series. I suggest the reference to Cooper struggling with his homosexuality be stricken from the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.37.132 (talk) 23:01, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Homosexuality 

message: The article introduction currently includes a reference to the actor being known for his role as "Micky Tippin in Blode." There is no citation for this. There is also no reference to this role on IMDB or anywhere else on the internet that I could find (besides sites that seemed to just copy Wikipedia's article or introduction verbatim). Also, I could find no record of a film or TV show titled "Blode", nor a record of a fictional character named "Micky Tippin".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.212.24.186 (talk) 02:04, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Piping shrike

message: This sentence - Although the image of the piping shrike is readily identified with South Australia, the bird in its own right has never been formally adopted as a faunal or bird emblem of the state. - does not seem to concur with any of the links/sources at the bottom, none of which mention the bird is not official, so...where did this info come from? Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure of my thinking at the time, but I was possibly influenced by this list which shows it as unofficial. This SA Government site shows the insignia and emblems and dates of adoption for each. For the  Hairy-Nosed Wombat it states it was "adopted by the Government as the faunal emblem of South Australia on 27 August 1970"  and the Leafy Seadragon was "adopted by the Government as the marine emblem of South Australia on 8 February 2001" etc. There is no mention of the Piping Shrike or White Backed Magpie being adopted as a bird emblem, only that it is symbollically incorporated into the State Badge. Melburnian (talk) 01:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting - the site is a Charles sturt University page, so no idea where the sourcing comes from. The other thing that occurred to me is the distinction between the badge with the piping shrike (which is unequivocally official) and that it may not actually apply to the bird itself (or somesuch). Interesting. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:37, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes agree with the distinction, the badge which depicts the Piping Shrike is an official emblem, while the bird itself, as far as I can tell, has never been officially gazetted as a faunal or bird emblem. Melburnian (talk) 05:55, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

message: "Relatives who came to the hearing expressed outrage that they were not made aware of previous parole hearings and that Tony Ng was so close to possible release because of it."
Since the paragraph discusses Tony Ng and makes no mention of the victims, the natural assumption must be that it's the relatives of Tony Ng which are referred to, rather than relatives of the victims.

Talk:Vicki Buck

message: In this section, the first sentence currently reads:  I suggest that it be amended as follows:
:Buck joined the Labour Party aged 16. She first stood for election in the October 1974 local elections. Aged 19, she was a Labour candidate in the Pegasus ward of Christchurch City Council. The ward, where four positions were contested by ten candidates, saw her come fifth, narrowly beaten by the fourth candidate but with a large margin to the sixth candidate. Based on the election night results, before special votes were counted, it had been thought that she might beat fellow Labour member Bill Massey, an incumbent councillor, who was just 65 votes ahead of her. Councillor Massey unexpectedly died in March 1975 and that triggered a by-election only because Christchurch had introduced the ward system for the 1974 election; prior to that, when 19 councillors were elected at large, seats had just been left vacant. The Labour Party chose Buck to stand in the by-election. Still just aged 19, Buck won the by-election on 10 May 1975 by a large margin. She was New Zealand's youngest city councillor at that time.
