Bad page move[edit]

I have moved the page back to Brendan O'Carroll (with an apostrophe). If the English language form of a name like this is used, then it should be e.g. O'Brien (with an apostrophe). If it's in Irish use Ó Briain (no apostrophe, but with a fada over the O. Ian Cheese 12:48, 18 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IQ reference[edit]

Is the reference to top 1% to Brendan O'Carroll himself or to Mensa? If the latter, then it is a mistake - Mensa members score in the top 2% on the relevant tests. Autarch 18:16, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

4 children[edit]

Is it correct to say that he HAS 4 children when one is deceased? Perhaps "has had four children". (188.146.124.210 (talk) 20:16, 25 December 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Unconstructive edits[edit]

Here is a list of unconstructive edits, some of which have been made at least five times, with explanations as to why they are unconstructive.

Adding this to Filmography:[edit]

2012	Mrs. Brown's Celebrities	Agnes Brown

In 2012 there were talks of a game show called Mrs. Brown's Celebrities. A non-broadcast pilot was produced but Brendan O'Carroll eventually turned the show down as he didn't want to water down the Mrs. Brown brand. Please see [[1]] for more.

Changing this:[edit]

2015	Mrs. Brown's Boys: The Animated Series	Agnes Brown

to this:

2015-present	Mrs. Brown's Boys: The Animated Series	Agnes Brown

The -present is unconstructive because the show doesn't start until next year. It's almost like writing 2015-2014. It should be left as 2015 until it begins airing, after which it should be changed to 2015-present.

Adding this to Filmography:[edit]

2014	Wash & Blow	Agnes Brown
	Mr Wang

As of 3 July 2014, Wash & Blow and Mr Wang have not been confirmed for production. Also, it is extremely unlikely that either of them will be released in 2014.

Speaking from the future[edit]

According to one revision, Wash & Blow "was released on Boxing Day, 2014." Was it? Are people who edit Wikipedia from the future? Because in my life, Boxing Day 2014 isn't for months yet. I know it seems like a silly question but people from at least three different IPs write like this (e.g. the animated series "began airing in 2015".) At first I thought it was just a typo but now it's getting really strange.

Removing this:[edit]

2013	The Security Men	Jimmy

and this:

1996	The Van	Weslie

from Filmography. These are genuine roles that O'Carroll has played so I can see no reason why people keep removing them.

Please don't make unconstructive edits to Wikipedia.

Biased Biography[edit]

It mentions here that his film has been a huge success, this seems a little biased based on the pervasive poor reviews this film has received. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.95.179.6 (talk) 06:55, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about biased but I have added that the film received appalling reviews.Fletcherbrian (talk) 14:18, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Killing of his grandfather[edit]

Changed this to more accurately reflect WDYTYA?. All it concluded was that Collins suspected Hoppy Hardy may have been responsible for the vigilante killing of another Republican altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shamrockawakening (talk • contribs) 18:43, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Brendan O'Carroll. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
