POV
editChill out, gang. The guy is wicked funny. How about "one of the best improv artists in the world"? Or, how about "with Ryan Stiles, one of the best improv artists, best known for their work on the long-running television show, Who's Line Is It, Anyway"?
Widely believed to be the best improv artist in the world? That's funny because I've never heard of the guy. And nine hugely successful years by who's standards? Foofy 17:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- out it goes! Gzuckier 20:57, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
"Already one of the most highly visible actors in North American television". No, don't think so. Perhaps the author of this article should consider removing this statemtent?
- Yeah.. This article probably needs to be de-POV'd. While he a certainly has a fan following, I have never once heard him referred to as the best improv artist in the world. He is a good improv artist, but is little known outside of Whose Line is it Anyway, at least in the US. I added a bit, but there's no POV there really.--Vercalos 06:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Well he does do those kids' snack commercials and I could swear I've seen him doing some other commercials as well. But yeah, this entry does seem to have a bit of a breathless, defensive, ColinMochrieIsMuchBetterThanRyanStiles.com webmaster quality to it. --Wikitoddia 17:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
6'2" < 6'6". Yeah we all agree on that so whay have a sentence about it?
I changed the wording about his co-hosting (with Rosie O'Donnell (what a coup)) an introduction to the bakery @ Disney's California adventure. --Wikitoddia 17:34, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
Animutation
edit"The reason he is in (almost) every Animutation is because Neil Cicierega one way or another placed Colin in almost every Animutation he made, making the inclusion of him in Animutation somewhat of a running gag." Putting aside the word choice (the reason is because--should be the reason is that), this sentence doesn't make sense. He's in every Animutation because he was placed in every Animutation. I don't know enough to fix this--I came to this article to learn about Mochrie, knowing nothing about him--but someone who does should fix it so that it isn't just a tautology.71.77.12.236 03:12, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
- "It's pretty cool, but you've got to admit, it's pretty weird." This quote is nowhere to be found on the Ask Colin site. As far as i can remember, it's from the Colin vs Jesus H Christ trilogy - part 3 (Andrew Kepple). I don't know if Colin actually ever said that. I'm going to replace it with a quote that IS on colinmochrie.com. --130.89.168.222 08:53, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Ryan Stiles "Best Friend"
editthis page doesnt cover anything about how ryan got him REALLY into improv, and also got him on the show. they were even in toronto together if i remember correctly. one of the best friendships i know, and it's not mentioned? shame shame.
- There is a revert war going on. Mochrie's relationship with Stiles is documented, so it can and should be mentioned- "close friends". On the other hand it would be un-encyclopedia-ish and very Myspace-ish to put that they are "best" friends. As we know from kindergarden, best friends come and go (just try following who Paris Hilton's best friend is. Clerks 13:41, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Left Handed
editIs there any real reason the article suddenly ends with "Colin is left handed." ? It seems pretty out of place.
Canada Apologizes?
editI came here hoping to find information verifying that Colin Mochrie did in fact perform the monologue "Canada Apologizes" often attributed to Rick Mercer, or was it really Rick Mercer?
I think you are right
editBased on circumstantial information.
- My Google searches reveal that any blog comments made after seeing the video, which appears to have been removed from YouTube and from the CBC website- give credit to Colin.
- While only typed out versions of the apology give credit to Rick.
- Wikipedia credits Colin 2002-03
Unfortunately I can't find the original video to confirm 100%.Clerks 18:04, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
- Found the video MRoberts <> 21:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks again. From the video and although blurry it does look very much like Colin Mochrie. It certainly doesn't look like Rick Mercer. -- Horkana 22:12, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
It's obviously Colin Mochrie - I know this sketch (it's on youtube) I'm puzzled that this is even a query. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.57.148 (talk) 03:41, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Luke, I'm your father
edit- I'm not sure of Mochrie's son birth year (Luke). The first time I came to this article it was given as 1992. Recently [User:Beadyeyes16] changed it to 1990, without a reference. This article says 1991, so I'm changing it to match. If anyone has a better reference, please add it. Clerks 19:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

editAre there no Free images of him? I see the last one was deleted.. any sources where we can find one.. this article really looks incomplete without an image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.162.137.130 (talk) 04:20, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
About his wife
edit"…in the Second City 40th Anniversary Retrospective, that at one point, Stiles made Colin's wife (Deb McGrath) laugh so much, that she peed her pants." --his wife has somewhat 3 senteces in the article and this is one of them. Is this information (or gossip) that "substantial" to be there? --81.201.48.25 (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
About Colin's appearance in Whose Line
editIt seems he first appeared in the 3rd series (I guess it could be december 1990 or january 1991) in episode 3x05 (correct me if I'm wrong). As written on his pages, he almost didn't do such an impression to be given a second chance, but he was, eventually. (I just wanted to say that if someone wants to use it in the article.) --81.201.48.25 (talk) 14:12, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Nationality
editLooking at the 'Scottish Canadian' article, it claims that this is an ethnic group; which poses the question of what is his nationailty. Is he British or Canadian? Or does he hold duel-cizternship?--EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 19:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

In the article of Colin's time on Whose Line is it Anyway it states that he was on the show until the final episode in 2006. But reading back onto the Whose Line is it Anyway page it states that the finale was in the year 2004, and I requested this change because it may cause confusion to others. Thank you.

I noticed that the information pertaining to Colin's child is inconsistent between the "Personal Life" section near the bottom of the page which reads "Hannah", and the summary in the top right which reads "Luke". I haven't found a lot of information that nails down this information since most sites seem to just copy wikipedia. But the last edit to the article changed the "Personal Life" section and not the summary thus creating an inconsistency. Madetofall (talk) 05:59, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

editIn the third paragraph under the 1988-1998 section, the first sentence needs to be changed from "Mochrie's co-stars on the show would frequently mock him for being Canada" to "being Canadian."

Edit request (Personal life) October 30 2020
editCan Colin's daughter's deadname (birth name) please be removed from the Personal Life section? It's unnecessary to include it since most people are not familiar with Kinley Mochrie pre-transition like they were with Caitlyn Jenner or Chaz Bono.
Stating that Kinley "was originally male" and "later transitioned" is also unnecessary and redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.40.73 (talk) 18:41, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Agreed! I came to the Talk page to say that! It's super disrespectful, not to mention irrelevant, to deadname her like that. --2600:1700:94C0:8460:D599:1265:BF7:7D0 (talk) 00:36, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
I just removed it. --WhyBeNormal? c · t · m 00:42, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- This is for anybody who wants to remove valid information. Colin's daughter's birth name is valid information. You don't remove valid information from an article because you feel it shouldn't be there. That's not how Wikipedia works. It can be and was sourced. I found one. Removing something like that is a controversial change. I didn't happen to see the initial edit request. Regardless. The information is to be left on the article. If you think feel strongly about this, you go to WP:RFC and request a comment. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 21:24, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- I think the (admittedly tentative and ongoing) consensus reached at MOS:DEADNAME unambiguously applies here. I think it applies here even more than it applies for, just for example, Laverne Cox, Natalie Wynn, or Sarah McBride among many other articles. Those women I mentioned are all more notable than Colin's daughter and none of those articles include their birth names (known as deadnames among trans people). I think the guidelines at WP:TRANSNAME would also be interpreted to leave out her deadname. But ok, you're right, I'll insert an RfC here. --User:WhyBeNormal 22:36, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- @WhyBeNormal: If you look at the Natalie Wynn article, it states that she transitioned in 2017. So she was notable long before transitioning. That's not a good example. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 02:50, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Fishhead2100: Ok, fair, she began really gaining popularity like a year before transitioning. Regardless, her deadname isn't mentioned. And that's my point: that it appears to already be the normal style convention on Wikipedia that the privacy of trans people should be respected with regard to deadnames unless circumstances are particularly notable. This is evidenced by looking around the articles in Category:Transgender_and_transsexual_women and Category:Transgender_and_transsexual_men. --WhyBeNormal (talk) 03:12, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @WhyBeNormal: Wynn was doing videos for nine-years prior to her transitioning. Anything prior to her transition, she set all those videos to private. Most of the them are in transcripts on her website. The point still stands that she was notable prior to transitioning. Having read the section about all of this, you can include the birth name in the intro to the article since notability was already established. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 03:31, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Fishhead2100:Right, she was doing videos but she didn't actually gain popularity until starting her ContraPoints channel in 2016. A year prior to transitioning. Her old channel wasn't popular. You can feel free to try to make the case for pre-transition notability if you can find any contemporaneous reliable news articles about her from prior to her transition. Good luck. They don't exist because she wasn't well known. And, again, that's a bit beside the point here. My point is that the style convention on Wikipedia already strongly errs on the side of privacy for trans people. (Because, fyi, people use intentional deadnaming to harass people and it makes obvious sense to err on the side off privacy for marginalized minorities.) --WhyBeNormal (talk) 03:48, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Fishhead2100: I just realized something. My linking to WP:RS above might've seemed patronizing or something. My bad. You've been on here for quite long enough - I know you know about reliability. What I should've said is that you can obviously find mention of Natalie's previous content online but I don't think you could find a good contemporaneous source that could meet the guidelines at WP:NOTE. --WhyBeNormal (talk) 22:37, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- @WhyBeNormal: Have you even checked to see if such sources don't exist? Or are you assuming so you don't have to actually look? Regardless, I am not going to lose sleep if there is not. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 06:43, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Fishhead2100:Yes, I've checked. I just checked again for you right now. I do happen to know what her deadname is, so I just googled it. All that came up was hateful trash like Kiwi Farms - no news articles. And once again, this tangent about Natalie is quite beside the point here, innit? To wit: the specific section of MOS:DEADNAME that is relevant to the discussion here is a settled and accepted part of the Wikipedia Manual of Style. --WhyBeNormal (talk) 19:55, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

RfC on including his daughter's deadname
edit- The following discussion is an archived record of a request for comment. Please do not modify it. No further edits should be made to this discussion. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Should Colin Mochrie's daughter's deadname be included in this article? --User:WhyBeNormal 22:39, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Remove: MOS:DEADNAME, MOS:GENDERID, and WP:BLPNAME together make it absolutely clear that her deadname should not be included in the article and we shouldn't even mention the addition detail of "was originally male" and "later transitioned," but we might want to still leave in that she is trans.
- BLPNAME:
The names of any immediate, former, or significant family members or any significant relationship of the subject of a BLP may be part of an article, if reliably sourced, subject to editorial discretion that such information is relevant to a reader's complete understanding of the subject.
- DEADNAME:
If such a subject was not notable under their former name, it usually should not be included in that or any other article, even if some reliable sourcing exists for it. Treat the pre-notability name as a privacy interest separate from (and often greater than) the person's current name.
- GENDERID:
Use context to determine which name or names to provide on a case-by-case basis. Generally, do not go into detail over changes in name or gender presentation unless they are relevant to the passage in which the person is mentioned.

- Remove per the policies cited by Gbear above. There is a strong presumption of privacy for non-notable family members of an article's subject, and no suggestion that it is met or overcome here.--Trystan (talk) 02:47, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- I also don't see the date of birth given in any of the sources. It should be removed per WP:BLPPRIVACY.--Trystan (talk) 03:02, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
- Trystan, thanks for pointing it out, I just removed it and the birth location (which is less important to remove, but I don't see a strong argument for inclusion either). Gbear605 (talk) 04:07, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

- Remove: MOS:DEADNAME makes it clear a deadname should not be included in any article unless the subject was notable under it. Colin Mochrie's daughter isn't notable under any name, never mind her deadname. Per WP:ONUS (
The onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content.
), I've removed the deadname from the article while this RFC is ongoing (it should only be added back if consensus is achieved to include it). I agree with Gbear605 that the wording of the rest of the passage should also be improved. GreenComputer (talk) 03:05, 16 December 2020 (UTC) - Remove per MOS:DEADNAME, which would indicate the name should be included only if she were notable under that name, which she is not.

- Remove per MOS:DEADNAME. His daughter isn't notable in her own right at all, even under her current name, so there's no important public service being served by publishing her deadname in her father's BLP. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
- Remove per reasons provided by editors above. Idealigic (talk) 14:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

- It's need to be updated. But it's four episodes not five. Mr. C.C.Hey yo!I didn't do it! 07:34, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
Addition to Colin Mochrie Page
editThis edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
- Change the line: "Mochrie co-stars as the improvisational comedian in Hyprov, a comedy show that is a fusion of stage hypnosis and improvisation" to "Mochrie co-created Hyprov, a comedy show that is a fusion of stage hypnosis and improvisation alongside hypnotist Asad Mecci and often co-stars as the improvisational comedian":
- The above change is the more accurate representation of Colin Mochrie's involvement in Hyprov and it should be reflected appropriately:
