Pee Wee's Playhouse claymation
I've noticed that this article does not state that Nick Park was an animator (or clymation animator, whatever) in Pee Wee's Playhouse for the Penny cartoons. I'm going to add it, and I hope nobody deletes it before they discuss it first. ¡Adios! Kyo cat 21:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. Can someone check it out and tell me if there's anything that we can improve it on? Gracias. ¡Adios! Kyo cat 21:40, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry! It was false information! I thought it was true, though... Anyway, I've deleted. Once again, i'm sorry. Kyo cat 00:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone restored it... He had also had a part in animating Pee-wee's Playhouse. The article for that show doesn't mention Nick Park, but does say that Penny was claymation. So is it true or not!?! Digifiend (talk) 12:15, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

A lost set?
The BBC refers to | Cracking Contraptions, a set of ten shorts, which seems never to have been released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.241.227.84 (talk) 13:21, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Seems to have been released as Wallace & Gromit's world of invention [videorecording] / director, Merlin Crossingham. Six part series, currently available on video in my local public library's collection. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.155.138.126 (talk) 23:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Preston College
I corrected the information regarding which part of Preston College is named for Nick Park. It is not the Park School, which was founded in 1907, long before Nick Park was born, and is so named because it's situated on Moor Park. The Nick Park Library Learning Centre, however, is quite clearly named for him. --Ftmichael (talk) 21:17, 6 November 2011 (UTC)


 * You have a very good point, and I dont think you need a source for that info.Beefcake6412 (talk) 21:18, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Suggesting an edit regarding the character of Wallace
Nick Park has stated that the character of Wallace was based on his father. The quote below is transcribed from the making-of documentary "Inside 'The Wrong Trousers'", made by the BBC in 1993:

"Sometimes I think Wallace is based on my father - my dad... he is still very much an inventor, you know, he spends his time in the shed making things out of wood.  That's like me building the rocket in 'Grand Day Out' - I remember once we bought this old caravan, stripped it down to its chassis and he built this kind of box caravan and we all went on holiday in it, the whole seven of us in the family and it's a bit like, kind of wallpapered, and you know it's like a little home inside, like the rocket. No questioning whether it's practical, we just kind of did it and that's what made my own childhood so exciting."

This seems to contradict the entry concerning Park's English teacher being the basis for the character of Wallace. Might the article be altered to reflect this?

Credit in "Too Funny to Fail" Documentary?
Nick is listed as contributing "additional material" to the documentary "Too Funy to FaiL", about the Dana Carvey show in the 90s. This seems very strange, since it's a documentary full of interviews and there'd be no "writing" to be done.

Googled around and found no information, connection or context between Nick and the subject matter. Seems more likely that a random person called Nick Park wrote some content for the show and this has been erroneously appended to Aardman-Nick's article. If there's a source to the contrary then it'd be good to see it. 82.26.240.238 (talk) 22:21, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
