Talk:Matt Talbot

message: OK. I just wrote my first Wikipedia article. On the fifth link there is a (battered) picture of him but I didn't know how to extract it and put it in here. I've never seen another photo of him. It would be a good addition. I also didn't know how to footnote. There is dispute about when he was made venerable- some sources say 1973; others 1975. The sixth link gives a precise date of October 3 1975. I don't know whether the analogy with the de Niro character in The Mission is appropriate for Wikipedia but I put it in anyway.El Gringo 04:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know if it's true that Matt Talbot was a scab during 1913 lockout?
:As a member of the ITGWU, he couldn't have scabbed even if he wanted to. This is just one of those nasty rumours that people like to put about.  Scolaire 13:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the fictional self-denying Mattie Hislop based on Matt Talbot?  The resemblances are strong, and Graham Linehan went to Catholic University School, Dublin, where there was a strong respect for Matt Talbot.
:Ha, that's exactly what I was thinking.86.1.196.156 (talk) 03:41, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Father Ted:  Mattie Hislop 

message: On 1 April (is the date a coincidence?) an IP changed "His father was a heavy drinker, as later were most of his brothers" to "His father was a man of sobriety, yet most of his brothers were heavy drinkers." In the absence of citations, it is reasonable to assume that the original text was correct.  Scolaire (talk) 14:45, 16 June 2012 (UTC)
