What about the film "My Family and Other Animals"...fantastic role ¡!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.40.240 (talk) 10:41, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Quote

Do we have to have a quote containing 'fucked up' in it on the main page? Its not exactly appropriate for kids.

Could we not have it as 'f***ed up', or something similar instead.... if at all?

I mean, do we think Russell would appreciate this quote being on his wiki page??....

Perhaps... but it's still crude and unnecessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.109.187.200 (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still, Wikipedia is not censored. It doesn't matter if it's crude - it's a direct quote from him, it's relevant. It's there. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 14:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I do agree there's no need to remove it, you present the quote without any context to the overall scheme of the interview. This not only slightly skews the quotes meaning and intent, but the presentation of the quote in the article is in a manner that exaggerates the quote's importance. This should be addressed.

Going further on how it's presented... there's a good chance it goes against guidelines set up in WIKI: Biographies of living persons. Though I see no need to remove the quote, I feel it should be incorporated into the article rather than as an infobox. The quote currently seems highlighted only for sensationalism - as it's presented without context in the rest of the article - which is also against Biographies of living persons.

As such I'm going to remove the infobox and incorporate the quote into the article itself, (which is more encyclopedic and fitting WIKI).

Only restore the infobox if you can present a legitimate argument as to why the quote is notable enough to be highlighted as it was previously and not just incorporated into the article's body. Thank you

Did you mean to point to WP:BLP and by infobox mean to say quote template? The quote seems appropriately located to me in a way that gives context and not particularly sensationalist. It provides an insight into his career by a passionate statement as to the roles he is looking for. If it were merged into the text it would not particularly read any differently. I think this is being over cautious verging on falling foul of WP:CENSORED without strong justification from WP:BLP. You will note this issue was raised more than a year ago but nobody felt that any action was necessary.—Ash (talk) 23:16, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This issue is probably long dead, but I would like to note that after saying the quote Tovey himself makes a point to state he, himself, isn't "Fucked-up". Highlighting just the quote itself is sensationalist as it's over-emphasizing and taking out of context a statement that even the actor felt he had to clarify after stating. It's better served in the text of the article.209.2.208.124 (talk) 19:45, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't a children's comic; let your kids play on the Moshi Monsters site instead if you're worried. Smurfmeister (talk) 21:22, 30 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Doctor Who

Isn't it Matt Smith - just announced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdenman (talk • contribs) 18:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC) Story is confirmed, just be aware of some vandalism. It'd be interesting to see how some people react if they hear RT Davies suggested him, arrive here, then find he's gay. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξ φ 14:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gay Doctor Who? Make it a little bit interesting, eh?! I think if people find out he's gay love storylines might not be convincing. Also I'm left wondering, did Davis suggest Tovey because he, like Tovey, is gay? I know he probably didn't but it raised the question nevertheless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.70.76.231 (talk) 16:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Height to two decimal places?

It seems rather unusual to to list someone's height to 0.1 of a millimetre when we're all at least half a cm taller first thing in the morning just due to the decompression of the spine from laying horizontal for 8 hours. I think someone might have been mucking about. Adagio67 (talk) 22:52, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you so I changed it. Why not just go ahead and do that yourself next time? Be WP:BOLD! Exok (talk) 23:02, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

George Tovey

Is the George Tovey mentioned in the article as being Russell's father the same George Tovey that had a role in Pyramids of Mars (1975)? 101090ABC (talk) 19:04, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More significantly, is it the George Tovey who is mentioned as the father of Roberta Tovey, who played Susan in the Peter Cushing Dr. Who movies? --Joe Sewell (talk) 17:36, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, it seems that George Tovey died in 1982.[1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.198.61 (talk) 17:33, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
