RfC at Manual of Style talk

edit

@MFlet1, BritFlicks1, Necrothesp, and 104.222.122.60: There is an RfC here regarding the use of post-nominals for people who have returned their medals. Sdrqaz (talk) 13:45, 3 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

The RfC is archived Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography/2021 archive#RfC regarding post-nominals\Here.The outcome was: "Consensus is that post-nominals should not be used for individuals who have verifiably taken actions to renounce their award, which explicitly includes returning their medals. It should be noted that almost all the discussion was explicitly or implicity in the context of British chivalric honours (MBE, CBE, etc). This decision therefore should not be seen as binding regarding honours given by other countries or entities, especially if there is any formal process or declaration for renouncing (the lack of such being a key element in many rationales here).

Current residence

edit

Article claims Michael lives in Baglan with Anna Lundberg, source cited does not state this and is a 10 year old news article.

Politics?

edit

"Michael Christopher Sheen (born 5 February 1969)[1] is a Welsh actor, producer, and political activist" That last bit of the first sentence is weird considering that the article contains pretty much nothing about his political opinions, political activism, ideology, party membership, etc - I'm essentially clueless. Actually his charity work gets a headlined section but politics gets nothing. Perhaps it should say he is an actor, producer, and contributor to charitable causes? 94.255.196.73 (talk) 12:28, 10 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

There is a section on "Political activism", but "Charity work" is a much bigger section. I'd suggest using both or neither. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:51, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

British or Welsh

edit

An IP editor is repeatedly changing the description of Sheen as Welsh to read "British". Per MOS:ETHNICITY there needs to be editor consensus before any such changes to nationality (see note a). I am asking the IP editor to explain why that description is better so that we can then evaluate and reach consensus. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 16:54, 24 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Early life

edit

The timings in the early life paragraph don't make sense. Hpw can they live in Newport for 12 years but also move to Wallasey when he's 5 and to Port Talbot 3 years later? ZoboneisetheOboe (talk) 22:44, 7 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

The family unit lived in Newport for a total of 12 years, which include years prior to his birth. 2001:569:512F:E700:645B:4A7F:F4D:178D (talk) 11:28, 11 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Career: TV roles

edit

Michael Sheen played Roland Blum on The Good Fight. This great performance is not listed on his bio pages. Perhaps an appropriate update should be researched & added. Thanks. 68.107.76.177 (talk) 07:11, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
