Talk:Philip Ridley

Wonderful Insect
Does anyone have any information on the 1998 short story he is listed as writing called Wonderful Insect? From my research so far I've found little to no information of this story's existence apart from it being listed on this wiki-page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MaskedMosquito (talk • contribs) 21:45, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Birth date
Has anyone noticed this article doesn't list a birth date? I'm trying to find it on the web but I haven't found it so far. :/ eveningscribe 03:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Addendum: Okay, I've found ONE link that says he was born in December, 1967, and it doesn't give a day. :p But is it good enough to use as a reference? http://books.guardian.co.uk/departments/childrenandteens/story/0,,1471235,00.html eveningscribe 03:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)


 * a recent edit references "Parmiters School Records" for March 1958. This is plausable but not easily verifiable. While looking for confirmation, I found that imdb lists 29 December 1964. Thats 3 references with 3 different dates.Lateg (talk) 16:02, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Pictures of Artworks
I have some pictures that I'm currently trying to get clearance on. Flutters123 (talk) 14:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Has anyone got any pics of Ridley's artworks that can be used on the page. This would really be of interest, I think. Especially the ones that are specifically named like Corvus Cum.

Birth year
Can we determine a birth year for Ridley? The opening sentence in his article claims he was born in 1957, the infobox says 1951, and according to one of the categories, he was born in 1964. ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 01:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I removed any mentions of a birth year from the article for the time being, just so the article doesn't contradict itself multiple times. ★ The Green Star Collector ★ (talk) 01:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
