Template:WPTO Should a note be mentioned about his hair? (Perhaps this talk page is the appropriate place). During the first season, his hair was combed back, giving him a somewhat "balding" look. With the advent of The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Carell becoming more recognizable, his hairstyle on the Office changed to a standard brush-to-the-side to increase recognizability. Personally, I think that this change affects the manner in which the character is portrayed, but heck, who else even noticed?!

Well spotted! I hadn't even noticed it until you pointed it out, but i did notice 'something different' about him in the second season. Of course being a guy i couldn't figure out what it was, but well done. Yeah i'd make a note, thats an interesting piece of info. THE KING 13:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License plate numbers?

Michael's license plate numbers seems way too minute for inclusion in a Wikipedia. I took them out. If anybody can think of a reason why such information is of interest to anybody beyond minutia collectors, well, put them back. SnappingTurtle 19:05, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll dig them out tomorrow - I included them to show continuity errors within the show. --Mrmiscellanious 05:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that they should be included. If it was one plate number for the whole series, that wouldn't be worth noting. But the fact that it changed is a little interesting. - Shaheenjim 15:14, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the fact that it changes is an argument against mentioning it. It demonstrates that the producers simply don't care about that level of detail, so why should we? -- Raymondc0 17:58, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

sexual orientation?

Is there any doubt as to what Michael's sexual orientation is? The statement - "at 42, Michael is still single, but says he "does all right," presumably with women" -- is misleading. Man-crush on Ryan aside, nothing I've seen suggests that Michael may be other than a lonely straight guy.

Yea he's dated Jan off and on for over a year plus after the events off Gay Witch Hunt he's straight.--68.220.111.227 01:25, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Salary

What would you say is Michael Scott's salary? - Htra0497 23:32 19 June 2006 (AET)

I think it is 80,000 for various reasons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.184.86.110 (talk) 21:45, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

No way. 80,000 would be pretty good, and his salary is supposed to be laughable. I'd say 50,000 before his raise. - Shaheenjim 15:13, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Age

Is Michael 42 or 43, what episode did he say he was 42 and was it before or after his birthday, i remember him saying it I just don't know what episode it was thanks.--68.220.108.46 17:14, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too much fancruft?

I think there's too much fancruft. For example, most of "management style" is really a play-by-play of the character arc. The "Characters of Michael Scott" section seems gratuitous. (Only Michael Scarne is notable; the others are one-episode jokes.) And the "Comparison with David Brent" feels like independent research. Do others agree or is it just me? I'll try to reorganize it regardless, but I think it's too much. -- Raymondc0 01:34, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dunder Mifflin

I am going through several articles and changing instances of "Dunder-Mifflin" to "Dunder Mifflin" (no hyphen) as it is the proper "spelling" of the company name (see Talk page at Dunder Mifflin). Just leaving a note to say that I've gone through this page. :) Fieryrogue 19:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Page name

Why was the page name changed to "Michael Gary Scott"? Wikipedia guidelines specify that the page name should be the name by which the person is most commonly known, and Michael Scott's middle name is almost never used. -- Raymondc0 04:25, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Make "Michael Gary Scott" redirect to "Michael Scott (The Office)" instead. C1k3 06:32, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. That's that. C1k3 17:52, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I thought that it would be good to be bold. My apologies for the inconvenience and distress caused. Ayavaron 02:39, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, Ayavaron. Initiative is a good thing. --Milton 02:53, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

College Degree?

I'm not sure whether Michael has a college degree. Sometimes it seems like he does, and I remember seeing a diploma that is framed in his office. Can anyone confirm?--Irutavias 20:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is discussed in the article under "Education". I think you're mistaking his Seyko Watch certificate for a diploma. -- Raymondc0 07:41, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
