Talk:Tony Roper (actor)

message: Tony Roper was a delivery driver for Bilsland Brothers’ Bakery in Anderston, Glasgow, when Billy Connolly started working there as a van-boy; although they don’t seem to have worked together as a delivery team, it has been said in interviews that Connolloy (not yet a comedian) was very impressed by Roper’s ability with comic one-liners. Don’t have dates or any links, but someone may wish to follow this up. Jock123 (talk) 11:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

message: "He wrote the comedy-drama The Steamie in 1988, for which he won a BAFTA." - there is no record of this on the BAFTA site or in the awards database.

Talk:Tony Ryan

message: I'm reverting the addition of the prenominal Dr since, as indicated in the article, Tony Ryan is the holder of an honorary degree from several institutions.  As described there, with very few exceptions, the honorary degree does not sanction the use of Dr. in the person's name.  I'm not aware of Ryan having earned a PhD or equivalent academic degree; perhaps others have more info. 
 
There may be situations, where the individuals improperly use the honorific themselves, as in the case of Ian Paisley, for example.  If Tony Ryan was in the habit of doing the same, then WP should probably indicate it.  But we shouldn't 'automatically' assign the Dr. prenominal here, even if some of the mainstream media do so.  Otherwise, for consistency within Wikipedia, we'd have to do the same for Dr. George W. Bush (Yale), Dr. Ronald Reagan (Galway), and Dr. Terry Wogan (Limerick), among many others.

Talk:Tony Sampson

message: ElizabethGStone, could you please provide a source to back up your edit that Tony was born in 1961. This date seems very unlikely if you have ever watched episodes of The Odyssey; Flash's character, played by Tony, does not look 31 years old, despite the show debuting in 1992. A birth year of 1981, which you changed to 1961, is far more likely despite not having a source. Elnauron (talk) 03:26, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I recently reverted an edit too quickly. Though before self-reverting, I looked at everything more closely. The claim that he retired from the entertainment industry to work in the oil-sand fields in Fort McMurray seems to be ultimately sourced to a post by Tony Sampson on Spotify.
So I've found a discussion at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 289#Formally make Spotify a "generally unreliable" source? which is only somewhat convincing about not using it in bios. One editor commented it should fall under WP:SELFPUBLISH and WP:SELFSOURCE which give different impressions on how to handle it.

I don't know who made this section on the main article, but I am moving it here.  Personally, it doesn't make sense to me, with the way he said it.
"...making him 27 when he debuted in the NWA in 1983." "...been 19 at Starrcade 83"

message: Would the video game Mass Effect fit here? As I understand it, the whole premise of the technology in that what we thought was dark matter was really not matter at all, but what we're really seeing is the mass effect caused when an electric current is passed through Element Zero. FTL travel is achieved by creating a field around the ship that makes it effectively have little/no mass, thus allowing it to accelerate beyond light-speed.

Talk:Tony Slattery

message: Regarding his period of over-exposure, Rory Bremner also made jokes about it, as did the down-market sitcom Birds Of A Feather. Given that in Britain, we always assume Anmericans are far ahead of us in all areas of showbusiness, it was really weird to find, when the Internet started opening up in the late 1990's, that so many young Yanks were going on about the well past-it Whose Line Is It Anyway?, and that their favourite on it seemed to be Slattery, who at that time couldn't get arrested. And his interviews, to this day, are of the "I've been to hell and back" variety, rather than about new performing or writing projects. 
Also, he is widely assumed to be gay. It's odd that he's never confirmed it in this day and age. Dolmance 17:27, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A list of who made jokes at him over his perceived near-omnipresence would be so long it would need an article to itself. He did seem to get flustered when it was done to his face on Whose Line Is It Anyway though. 87.115.34.177 (talk) 17:11, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The article was biased initially, attributing Slattery's breakdown solely to bipolar disorder and (by omission) painting him as some kind of tragic saintly figure.  I've corrected this.  Slattery has admitted in a number of interviews (Guardian, Daily Mail cited as examples) that the main cause was excessive drink & drugs ("I spent £4,000 a week on cocaine ... [and drank] two bottles of vodka a day").  Regardless of any existing mental health issues he may have already had, that quantity of self-harm propelled him over the edge and exacerbated his depressive behaviour.

thread_title:  Breakdown 

message: No mention of the controversy surrounding his “Douglas Bader” impersonation; this seemed to cause a large back=lash against him at the time, and - combined with the over-exposure in the media - perhaps led to him being on TV quite so much (beginning of the end?).

thread_title:  Noel Coward in 1998? 

message: Now someone has revised the sentence to state that Mr. Walton "began his career in 1948 with the stage design for Noel Coward's Conversation Piece."
Assuming Walton's birthdate is given correctly, the young -- very young -- Englishman would have hopped the puddle to make his Broadway design debut at the tender age of fourteen: perhaps not technically impossible, but utterly, wildly unlikely.
In any case, the Internet Broadway Database lists Conversation Piece as having had only a single B'way production ...in 1934, the year Walton was born.
It's conceivable that the show might have had a West End revival around 1948, though I still strongly question the likelihood of its having been designed by a fourteen-year-old.
I can't vouch for Walton's birthdate (though '34 seems plausible), nor do I know the correct date, title or venue of his professional debut; but I rather doubt that all (or perhaps any) of the current info in that sentence is correct.
