Talk:Tim Minchin

message: Maybe a new section could be created to list his notable appearances both on TV & radio? Would make the career section look neater? Casey boy (talk) 01:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Is he related at all to Australian Federal Shadow Minister Nick Minchin? It doesn't say who his parents are. Nick Minchin isn't from Perth, so probably not?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.63.201 (talk) 23:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, searched a bit, over here: http://www.ripitup.com.au/interviews/2463 it says that he's a second cousin once removed: Favourite Adelaide moment?“Seeing my second cousin once removed, Senator Nick Minchin on the street. He’d better come to my show this year or I’ll go to his house and leave a strongly worded letter in his letterbox. God help me I will.”

message: I write regarding this edit. I removed the information mostly due to the fact it seems unnecessary to include it in the article. It isn't really adding anything to the article, especially simply quoting the lyrics. I do know the information to be correct however. TomBeasley (talk) 18:56, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Removal of Storm information

message: In regard to Tim Minchin, Ive noticed that there is some incorrect information regarding his birthplace, it read on his Wikipedia article that he was born in the United Kingdom, this isn't true as he states in his DVD So Live that he was BORN and raised in Perth Western Australia, he furthers this in one of his songs about growing up in Perth and sneaking out at night.
I am not too into computer editing so I do not really know how to chanje all the HTML stuff to rectify this, but I was hoping there would be someone who can. Thanks  —Preceding unsigned comment added by ConnorN57 (talk • contribs) 01:02, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The controversy section seems to be... strangely lacking in any actual controversy. There's a description of Tim's Pope Song - which, yes, could conceivably offend some devout Catholics - but there's no mention of any kind of reaction or outcry or... well, controversy. I wasn't aware of any particular controversy surrounding the song, and a quick Google turned up nothing either, so I've deleted the section. --Shoemoney2night (talk) 14:38, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: also his hypocrisy as a part-time skeptic needs to be mentioned - especially his inability to show skepticism towards catastrophic anthropogenic global warming.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.220.163.233 (talk) 23:54, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: I have added him to the Australian Expats living in the UK category, but now I'm not too sure. If he was born in the UK, he may not be an ex-pat, depends on how he sees his nationality. If anyone has strong views then please feel free to remove. Tony Corsini (talk) 13:22, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The Tim Minchin: interview published in Time Out on December 2, 2010 [] refers to his son as Casper, but here he is Caspar.  Is he Casper, as in the friendly ghost or Caspar, as in the wise man? Kooky2 (talk) 22:56, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

message: In what sense is Tim Australian-British? Both his parents are Australian. The fact that he was born in Britain is surely not decisive. --Agarpp (talk) 17:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

message: This article has a redirect for the terms "Canvas Bags". This is a bit weird to me. I was looking for the impact of the song. But it is not mentioned in the article (gave it a search) and I imagine there might be space on Wikipedia for an article on actual canvas bags. 83.179.55.57 (talk) 16:47, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

message: He has described himself thus: "I am a UK born UK citizen" and added to people criticising him for voicing an opinion on Brexit: 'Suck my english balls'.

It seems fair enough then to add British-Austrlian to the lead. Certainly he is a UK citizen through being born in the UK.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.170.37.219 (talk) 13:46, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
