Mr. Sutherland also starred in the DIRTY DOZEN. Hello?

Yes 2601:6C3:4081:41C0:4C17:8B25:A992:913E (talk) 23:38, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

His career spans over SIX decades, not seven. At least, not yet.

If his career started around 1963, in 2024 it's going to be 61 years long. 2001:4DF4:1309:7B00:74EB:E98D:68:2BDA (talk) 20:30, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, seven decades: 60s,70s,80s,90s,00s,10s,20s. A bit clever, but accurate. Rest In Peace Donald Sutherland. RTP Rocker (talk) 19:13, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how it works. 2001:4DF4:1309:7B00:9134:48AA:EE5D:4872 (talk) 20:36, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox image

I'm opening this talk page section in regards to Sutherland's infobox image. Per Template:Infobox person#Image, "when the subject of a biographical article has recently died, particularly those who have been publicly known for decades, editors may come to a consensus on the article's talk page regarding what image would best be suited for the infobox."

The current infobox image has already been used for years prior to his death, so consensus should be reached here if anybody wants to change it. Please discuss so here, whether you support using the current image or a different image on here. Thanks, B3251_(talk) 00:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JMerrill17 Please talk here and establish consensus before changing the image please. I do not want to engage in an edit war. B3251_(talk) 00:20, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure why the image is in black-and-white. A color image is available; use that. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 00:34, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The image that I just reverted it back to has already been used as the infobox image for years prior to his death, I don't see why it's totally necessary to change it all of a sudden. I've been trying to tell the editor to discuss it here but they haven't been communicating. B3251_(talk) 00:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't, either; the current image is pretty representative of Sutherland already. I support the current image. XtraJovial (talk • contribs) 01:00, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
