message: "Bean's father owned a fabrication shop, which he had set up with a colleague." This is wrong as the company was set up by a Mr.Darwin and he had a 51% stake in the business Darwin and Bean.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.22.12.219 (talk) 22:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: He quite often is in Hollywood films. Like most british actors because no yank will play the bad guy. Any minor actor has to play more than his fair share of bad guys though. Personally I wouldn't count him as one. josh 20:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

What a load of rubbish. There are plenty of women who watch football and have tatts. Maybe they are chauvinists as well then.

message: He wasnt in lotr return of the king... it was only a "flashback" it wasnt taken again (or was it?) just copied it from the first movie (no?).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.108.16.48 (talk) 08:11, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The three "Lord of the Rings" films were all in production simultaneously.  They were all shot, with various scenes mixing in from all three movies, over the same 18 month period.  So technically, when it was filmed, or whether or not it was a flashback is irrelevant.  Either way, if Bean appeared in "Return of the King," then he was IN that movie.  The fact that it may have been a flashback (it was not) does not matter.  He still appeared onscreen and is credited as such in that film.  So yes, I do think he was "in the movie."Kp.murphy (talk) 21:00, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sean Bean  (boromir LOTR:ROTK) 

message: Okay, a couple of editors have removed the following info from the Personal life section: "Bean has claimed in interviews that he likes wearing diapers recreationally, stating, "I've worn a nappy to a bar before, but only the towelling ones. I find disposables like Pampers tend to chafe."[30][31]"  Their reasons were that the info was "innaccurate" and/or "non-notable".  Perhaps the info is currently worded incorrectly, but even if Bean only did this once to attract controversy, isn't that notable in itself?  Especially if some magazine/website has decided to report it (I realize they were reporting Bean's admittal not the actual event).  I'm not saying we shoud give the info undue weight by dedicating large sections of the article to it, but isn't an unusual and verifiable hobby/practical joke Bean practiced in public sufficiently notable for a single sentence of info?  Coop41 (talk) 23:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm probably being a bit lazy by just reverting it. I'm currently editing another article, reading a book and half watching film (who said men can't multi-task). The sentence as it stands suggests that he goes out drinking and saves himself from leaving the bar with some alternative underwear. The reports used don't help. More general phrasing on who he tries to shock people by wearing nappies and speedos would be better. I've tried to find the original article to get a better idea of context but they don't seem to have published it online. josh (talk) 23:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reworded the sentence slightly to clarify that he wears them only for shock value. You're right that the original source would be preferable, but I think the ones we have are adequate.  Coop41 (talk) 00:10, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: The article currently uses these two sources: Adult baby Bean at AskMen.com and Sean Bean Loves Dressing In Nappies at FemaleFirst.  Neither of these are the original article/interview, just reports commenting on it.  Obviously the original source would be perfect, but I think the current ones are enough to support the info that we have.  Coop41 (talk) 22:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, we've adjusted the article to say that he's only reported to do it, not that he's explicitly admitted to it.  The sources certainly back that up.  I still think it belongs, it's a minor but interesting detail (and I know being interesting isn't a valid argument, but it helps) and has a source to support the info presented.  BTW, I removed the sentence you added about it being only a rumour; I think it violated WP:NOR because you were the one questioning the info, not the source.  Coop41 (talk) 13:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm sorry, I hadn't yet read the policy you are referring to.  Yeah, fair enough, since Wikipedia policy is so strict with sources regarding living people then I guess I can't defend keeping the info.  Coop41 (talk) 14:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Personal life

message: Wikipedia policy on Wikipedia:biographies of living persons is very clear on how to handle things like this: 
*"Material about living persons must be sourced very carefully. Without reliable third-party sources, it will violate the No original research and Verifiability policies, and could lead to libel claims.
*"Material about living persons available solely in questionable sources or sources of dubious value should be handled with caution, and, if derogatory, should not be used at all in biographies of living people, either as sources or via external links (see above)."
*"Editors should remove any contentious material about living persons that is unsourced, relies upon sources that do not meet standards specified in Wikipedia:Verifiability, or is a conjectural interpretation of a source (see Wikipedia:No original research). The  three-revert rule does not apply to such removals if the information is derogatory. Content may be re-inserted only if it conforms to this policy."
So, the question that ought to be asked is simple: Is FHM reliable for the purposes of writing an encyclopaedic article about the actor Sean Bean?  Ought we to trust their accuracy and their presentation of the material, ie. is it true, word for word, and has it been presented in its proper context?  It's certainly controversial to claim Bean likes wearing nappies; merely saying that's what's been reported is not enough here.  It needs to have been reported in a reliable source. 
Even if Bean had said that, but was joking at the time, then we're still doing the article a disfavour by including it.  --Kife 13:51, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The way I heard it, McGann broke his arm after falling from a horse. The need to set the arm could not be covered by a roomy coat or cape, nevermind the action scenes, so the job went to SB. Secondly, I heard that his hiking each day to get to the top of the mountain caused some editing concern when making Lord of the Rings because he kept getting fitter and fitter, and it increased the leanness of his face.

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force. There are certainly some issues with the article, primarily with a couple of instances of lack of sourcing, and a certain accumulation of trivia.

Under some doubt, I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. The article history has been updated to reflect this review.
