Talk:Brendan O'Carroll

Bad page move

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)

IQ reference

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)

4 children

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))

Unconstructive edits

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:

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:

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:

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

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:

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

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)

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

Killing of his grandfather

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)
