message: I'm sorry, "the handsome Terry"? I hesitate to edit, but really..
* I agree. "The dishy Terry" would be so much more appropriate. Just kidding!! =) Jay Firestorm 02:37, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Arthur-Daley-book.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:52, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Arthur-Daley-book.jpg

message: Absolute fair game that this page needed tidying up, but now (with due respect) it's layout is terrible, all over the place and not flowing. 
I'll also add relevant citations to a number of sections when I get back home to find relevant books.

thread_title: Heavy re-editing of page

message: I've replaced the  template with "United Kingdom" a couple of times. Could anyone wishing to restore the little Union Jack in the infobox please give an encyclopedic rationale as to what they think it adds? Thanks, --John (talk) 19:58, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

message: It seems a pity that the lead photo - in fact, the only photo - in this article is from the Shane Richie remake which nobody liked and which only ran for one series.  Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have one from the original Minder instead?  194.75.128.200 (talk) 14:37, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

message: He typically drives a Jaguar (first, a silver Jaguar XJ6, Series 2, then, a pale primrose Daimler Sovereign, Series 3).
This wording implies that the Daimler is a type of Jaguar! Also, from the fansite minder.org, the Jag was first used in Series 1, whereas the Daimler wasn't used until Series 4.
With 7 cars mentioned, and only one a Jag, it seems, on the face of it, somewhat ludicrous to claim he typically drives a Jaguar! By the end of series 7, it stands at 3 series each for Jags and Daimlers. No idea what later position was.Glevum (talk) 15:24, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Arthur's Car

message: Minder and Only Fools and Horses have many similarities, both being about a lovable rogue dealing with dodgy schemes and both being set in London. Can there be a section on this? --NovaBrunswick 17:37, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  Doing It Right 

message: This is just about the only article on Wikipedia that I have read that doesn't have a section about DVD releases. The series has been released in the UK by Network (source: Their website, available at the time of this posting) and Clearvision (source: a ssearch on amazon.co.uk) and in Australia by Umbrella Entertainment, Fremantle Enterprises through Roadshow and, most recently, ViaVision (source: their website).
And not to mention the extras. As an Australian who owns a copy of the Network release, the Umbrella Entertainment release was packed with extras while the Fremantle and Network releases were relatively bare bones - at least by comparison. Then ViaVision re-released the show using direct clones of the Umbrella DVD's. (source: I have seen them being played) The discs even say Umbrella at the start and feature previews for other shows they had, many which have been out of print for a decade, at least in Australia. Ironically, they are all available now from Network in the UK (source: their website). But what that has to do with anything, I don't know anymore! ReggieRocket (talk) 20:48, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
