Request to make changes to article

Peter Richardson is currently listed as an actor (see page name above). He is moreso a Director. ^[1] ^[2]

His wife's name is spelt incorrectly at the bottom of the page, it's Marta, not 'Martha'. Peter has four children not five. ^[3]

The reference to 'Man For Hire' with Great Western Features is now out of date. ^[4]

Many thanks.Snowdrop4 (talk) 15:23, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have reliable sources for those changes? If so, there is nothing to stop you going ahead and making the changes. IMDb is not a reliable source, and it would be by no means the first time that it has been known to contain typing mistakes. I see that the infobox in the article gives his wife's name as Martha, but the text of the article says Marta, so one of them clearly needs to be changed. I searched for information as to which it is. Unfortunately, most of what I found did not seem to be reliable sources, and once a wrong version has been on either IMDb or Wikipedia for a while, it gets copied all over the internet, so it is very difficult sorting out what is valid. http://www.alexeisayle.me/about-me/ says Marta, http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/356094/Tearing-a-Comic-Strip-off-Channel-4 says Martha. On the whole, I think that Alexei Sayle is more likely to be accurate about the name of someone he has personally known than the Daily Express is about the name of someone it briefly mentions in an article about something else. A very frequent error by journalists is replacing an unusual name with a similar and more common one. If you really believe that you have good reason to believe what you have said above then I suggest going ahead and making the changes, but if you can cite reliable sources that will be better.

Hi James, thanks for that. I was worried about COI, hence why I have not made the changes myself. I can personally vouch for the validity of the changes, however i understand the need for sources. How do I change Peter Richardson (actor) to Peter Richardson (director) (as per first query above)? I can't see where that can be edited? The Alexei Sayle article does indeed have the right spelling. Thanks for your help. Snowdrop4 (talk) 12:16, 18 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bad News

I'm surprised there's no mention of Bad News in this piece. Gwladys24 (talk) 23:21, 26 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
