Best known as Barty Crouch in Harry Potter?

You've got to be kidding. His bit part in Harry Potter is more known than his role as the Doctor? That line should be delete or changed to indicate the Doctor is his best known role, or at the very least it needs a citation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.13.56.253 (talk) 07:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that playing the Doctor is his best work, but most Americans don't know Doctor Who and do know Harry Potter. So for the Americans his best known work is playing in Harry Potter and for the Britains it's Doctor Who. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.123.158.99 (talk) 09:12, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It is mentioned that David Tennant's great-grandparents are 'staunch Protestants from Derry', if they are/were 'staunch Protestants' they would be from Londonderry. Same place but in Northern Ireland it is a big difference as to what name is used. The Catholic domination only would refer to Londonderry as Derry, seems trivial but if they were 'staunch Protestants' it is a pretty big mistake, please change. I cannot site this but it is common knowledge, at least to anyone from Northern Ireland. Thank you.

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. The current reference states they are Protestants. If you can provide a reference stating otherwise it can be looked into further. Stickee (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He/She just wants to change "Derry" to "Londonderry". Explanation sounds reasonable to me and there is an article about the Derry/Londonderry name dispute. --Tabya (talk) 15:55, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No Trick Or Treat

What the hell david tennent was on two episodes of that show guest appering as a major part of the episode's on each and in his Narration and personal appearances it is not listed for either and he was one of the applicant chosen by derren for the secound series and then came back for the final episode. He was in season 2 episode 3 and episode 6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.72.236.183 (talk) 11:45, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the case then please provide a reliable source to show this.Marker10 (talk) 12:12, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki is not a comprehensive listing. There are a number of TV appearances not listed here, not as a deliberate omission, but simply because no one's been bothered to go through and add the older ones. It's just a question of someone having the time and motivation to do it. I'll do it when I get time, unless someone else can first. Starhunterfan (talk) 13:49, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source. Please find another source. DonQuixote (talk) 01:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marking as answered. Jnorton7558 (talk) 02:40, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Davison has spoken in several interviews lately, calling his new granddaughter, Olive. He has done several interview - some of which are not online but in published magazines naming her Olive.

Edit request from 156.110.35.3, 21 September 2011

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at David Tennant. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
