Talk:Richard Wilson (Scottish actor)

message: I'm intrigued as to why the usual disambiguation arrangements have been changed.  Is Richard Wilson the actor really better-known worldwide than Richard Wilson the painter?  And likely to remain so? Deb 22:42, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: Richard is also the half cousin of Terry Wogan. - what on earth is a half cousin? ChrisTheDude 10:27, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I assume it means that he is the half-brother of someone who is the son/daughter of Wogan's brother or sister... dunno if it's true, it needs a citation.  Martan 00:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a good reason why the TV section is alphabetical, and not chronological? It would make more sense for it to be made chronological.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MattTait (talk • contribs) 11:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

*Support per page view evidence supplied below. 2:1 or even 3:1 might not be enough, but the ratio of visits to the Scotch actors page is nearly 10:1 compared to the Aussie. That's enough for me - our readers would benefit by moving the page. Aspie rational (talk) 20:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I checked out the link here -- One Foot in the Grave Page at "British TV Heaven", a website run by M. David Bennett -- and discovered it is now redirecting to unrelated material and does not appear to be a TV site. I have removed the link. Danahuff (talk) 03:31, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

message: In "Mark Lawson talks to Richard Wilson", BBC Four, Wed 30 Sep 2009, Wilson states several times that he was a laboratory technician, not a research scientist and on at least one occasion that he had no responsibility for the research.
As this is my first post, I'll leave it to others to take the necessary action...

message: While I have no idea why this article is semi-protected (I assume it's only semi), I note a change worth making. Under Television, High Stakes should be pipelinked to High stakes.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.211.130.243 (talk) 08:40, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Drchriswilliams, how exactly is the link court physician speculative? And are you suggesting that court physicians exist only in fiction? Surtsicna (talk) 20:08, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm suggesting caution in applying a redlink to the lead of an article of an actor playing a fictional character, where the character itself (eg in :List of Merlin characters) hasn't even had such a link applied. I have noted there are other articles where such subject matter may exist, eg :Physician to the Queen. Drchriswilliams (talk) 20:20, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is caution needed, in your opinion? Court physicians have indeed existed. Surtsicna (talk) 20:21, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't an article about a court physician, but about an actor that once played a character described in the lead of the article as a court physician. The reference given instead describes the character as a "Royal physician". If you are creating a redlink, then it is your responsibility to check for coverage.
