Where is the disambiguation link?

I was trying to link to Chris Evans (actor from the Fantastic Four) movie and instead this page keeps popping up.→ R Young {yakłtalk} 22:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the article about the Australian politician going to be written sometime soon. Otherwise this is a pointless disambig page. Pcb21| Pete 23:34, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
I've added the American actor, Chris Evans; as he's about to star in Fantastic Four I imagine someone will write an article on him in due course. I guess this is just another one of those cases where a person is massively famous here in the UK, and unheard of pretty much everywhere else. Rje 01:23, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)
There is now the more accurate link to all Chris Evans worldwide. Btw, I have decapitalised the heading (above) as it was giving me a headache--TimothyJacobson (talk) 14:50, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've added this, as despite previous statements there is Google evidence as such. Found this article on Ananova: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_104602.html I have actually seen him in the newspapers and on local TV. The newspapers and local TV both reported as youngest in the world, not the UK, so when I can find further proof I might write something.

Should be added, if notable, to the disambiguation page. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Early career

Mention to Evan's early career on BSB (Before BSkyB) as a presenter on their Channel The Power Station should be given - Anon

I was just about to mention that - I remember watching him on BSB (Not BSkyB) Parrot of Doom (talk) 11:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

BBC dates

These are wrong. We have one sentence stating his breakfast show ran 1995-99, and another saying it ended in 2000. There is also a problem in the previous section. I don't know all the facts but there is contradiction here.

No references

This article is currently rated "B-Class" acc. to some Wiki-project, despite lacking any reputable citations whatsoever. "Z-Class" more like. Total fan page. --DaveG12345 (talk) 00:52, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Think that situation has slightly changed - add 40+ refs, and I have resultantly removed some tags. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 13:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know I might be jumping on some sort of band wagon, but shouldn't there be some reference on how Gerry Ryan (the late Irish broadcaster) helped his career? Here's a link to one source about it: link to source —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.76.29.209 (talk) 20:19, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is anyone going to do anything about this? I know if I do it, someone will just revert the page to its previous condition. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.1.100.8 (talk) 12:27, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say go for it! If you add the source with it, there shouldn't be a problem. TheRetroGuy (talk) 12:32, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Edited, however, I have no idea how to put in a reference after it. Can some-one do this for me? (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.77.62.173 (talk)

Books

Surely his autobiographies should also be listed. One is called "It's Not What You Think", but I can't remember the name of the other one, else I'd have added them--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:50, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just seen it's called "Memoirs of a Fruitcake" and isn't out yet. Will add them when it is--TimothyJacobson (talk) 19:52, 5 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The latter seems to also be advertised as "It's Not About Me: From Billie to Breakfast"--TimothyJacobson (talk) 14:59, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I have listed the both books now (the latter using both titles). Feel free to amend, but please comment on this page so I can learn from my mistakes--TimothyJacobson (talk) 18:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the reference to Ethnicity because 1. It started as a joke, when ethnicity was originally given as "Ginger". 2. According to the Office of National Statistics, ethnicity is self -defined. You can't just say that because someone looks white then they are "White British". 3. It is not relevant to encyclopaedic content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiver2 (talkcontribs) 10:00, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yesterday I noticed that the reference to Ethnicity in the picture panel heading had been restored but no reason was given. This may have been an error and I have removed it again. I had to trace the other editor by deduction, I believe it is an unregistered user 83.218.31.112, who I note has been suspected of sockpuppetry. To this user, I would be glad to know your reason for including ethnicity as a Biographical fact, as it seems to me that normally this kind of information should not be entered as it is unverified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiver2 (talkcontribs) 11:34, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
