Orsum Island[edit]

Would it be worth creating a new article about "Adventures on Orsum Island"? According to Mitton's obituary it's due to be broadcast soon, and we know enough about it from its website to be able to give specific details. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.8.26.169 (talk) 08:01, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

remember WP:CRYSTAL. Don't create until the show is broadcasted. --^{SteelersFanUK06} ReplyOnMine! 22:27, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of Death[edit]

It says that David Mitton died on May 16, however other sources (the IMDB) state that he died on May 23 after being on life support for a week. Sounds to me like he suffered the heart attack on May 16. This article may not be correct, so I thought I'd mention this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.139 (talk) 01:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noting this. Unfortunately, IMDB cannot be regarded as a Reliable Source since anyone can add content without peer review. The published newspaper obituaries give his birth and death dates, and unless there are extremely good references to the contrary, these are the dates that should prevail. These are pretty fundamental facts for an obituary, and a journalist who got them wrong would probably not keep his job for long! -- EdJogg (talk) 10:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on David Mitton. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. 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:
