Does he speak fluent german?

...and shouldn't he be listed in the german-american category? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.224.54.100 (talk) 01:38, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Father's name

"Nicholaievitch" does not sound like Russian name at all. It is more like a middle name (which is the name of father, i.e. Mike's grandfather). From Mike's middle name is seems, that his father's name was Igor. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.244.221.2 (talk) 02:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Under the "Career" section, the following text appears "Nichols' career as a film director began with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 1966" but the link is the play and not the film. Would anyone like to fix this? Thanks Kvsh5 (talk) 21:16, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

I agree with the increase to C-class. There is a lot of good content, but the prose is choppy, with lots of stubby little paragraphs. It needs quite a bit of WP:MOS cleanup. Best of luck with future improvements. -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:58, 19 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The lead needs to be expanded to properly summarize the article. Feel free to list this article again once this concern and that of Ssilvers is addressed. Regards Hekerui (talk) 11:28, 22 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Age when he left Germany?

There is an inconsistency. Nichol's birthday is listed as November 6, 1931, but then the body says: "In April 1938, when the Nazis were arresting Jews in Berlin, seven-year-old Michael and his three-year-old brother Robert were sent alone to the United States...." The birthday would make Nichols six in April 1938, not seveen. He might have been seven when he arrived in the US, but not in April 1938.
