Unspecified source for Image:9tailors.JPG
I found Image:9tailors.JPG and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If there are other files on this page, consider checking that they have specified their source and are tagged properly, too. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 18:11, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

If anyone can find a published essay that tackles the class angle that would be welcome. In I'm All Right, Jack, Carmichael is perfect. Just saw the candy factory scene again. Look Back in Anger was only one way to look back. Profhum (talk) 04:46, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Ian Carmichael's theatrical career?
I am no expert on Ian Carmichael or his life, so I am only raising this as a discussion point for those who know more about the man than I do. In 1984 I saw Mr Carmichael on the stage at The Theatre Royal in York, in a theatrical adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. He played the father, Mr Bennet, and was excellent. I have no idea how much theatrical acting he did in his career but I find it hard to believe, given the obvious stagecraft he showed that evening, that he did not have considerable experience of stage acting. Perhaps a section in the article dealing with Ian Carmichael's record as a stage player would be valuable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cleckheaton (talk • contribs) 20:11, 6 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions. Point is, Cleckheaton, that  we can't  do  more than you for the article if we can't  find verifiable references for it. --Kudpung (talk) 12:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Carmichael' years active information is missing in the infobox, if someone can add it in, that would be good.

Example: "years_active = 1939–2010" 2600:1000:B02B:C359:4D1A:1655:F3DF:5CD6 (talk) 03:49, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

The "marriage" templates are also missing in the infobox of his marriages. If someone one can add them in like so, that would be good. As shown here:

Jean Pyman (Pym) Maclean (m. 1943-1983) Kate Fenton (m. 1992-2010)

His spouse section still hasn't been fixed yet, the marriage tags are still missing.

Shown as here, how it should be: Jean Pyman (Pym) Maclean (m. 1943-1983) Kate Fenton (m. 1992-2010) 2600:1000:B056:5D6E:E5DD:E15B:CD19:7148 (talk) 12:50, 30 August 2019 (UTC)

Boulting Brothers films
The article needs at the very least to cover the Boulting Brothers films, I'm All Right Jack and Heaven's Above, and of course Lucky Jim. --Minority Report (entropy rim riot) 13:34, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Carmichael on D-Day
There's a description of the training for D-Day on YouTube here that mentions Ian Carmichael commanding a troop of 22 Dragoons Sherman Crab flail tanks and landing on Juno beach on D-Day. here: (at 22:54) 86.8.126.91

The accident where he lost the tip of one finger was prior to D-Day when he was training on a Valentine DD tank.(talk) 07:26, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
