It looks like some of the entry came from Ross Noble's website, in particular the biography section: [1]. Some stuff looks fine, but some seems to be a barely edited copy, for example, the paragraph starting in the past 12 years. Silverfish 23:34, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I think this has been fixed since. -- jeffthejiff 09:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I commented out removed a section that seemed to be going on a bit of a tangent, about placing food on the stage etc. This didnt occur at a London gig i went to in December, and probably not most others either. We havent got space to write in detail about everything that Ross has ever said or done at a gig, so maybe we can outline each of his tours and the sort of stuff he talked about, rather than just one or two particular events. -- jeffthejiff 12:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Humorously

What's humorous about Noble crashing right outside a hospital? - Richardcavell 01:15, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Maybe 'ironic' would be more appropriate? Maybe not. M A Mason 19:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Can anyone find a reference for the crash? Anand 13:59, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

I can't find any usable ones; the only references i can find are one or two blogs mentioning it. Ross will probably mention it on TV or DVD or something at a later date though. -- jeffthejiff 22:02, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

It was mentioned to the audience during the shows he did in Sydney. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ashley P (talk • contribs) 08:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

I guessed that hes probably said it in a show, but its not really a reliable "reference"; we need it written down or otherwise recorded by someone like Noble himself for it to be something we can refer to. -- jeffthejiff 09:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

"Coincidental" rather than "ironic", I think, unless he had previously said something along the lines of "I have such bad luck, if I ever have a crash it'll be miles from a hospital" Tyrhinis 13:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

Cleanup/NPOV refers to DVD section in the main. Nothing terrible, just sounds rather as though it may have come from his website or similar. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.43.177.240 (talk • contribs) 00:26, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

It didnt come from his website, but it does look like it was written by some sort of crazy fellow. I'll do a quick cleanup. -- jeffthejiff 09:41, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

"Ross appeals to students" uh yyyeeeah i'm gonna go ahead and take that out for the moment...

It has been commented on that Ross does appeal to a student demographic. In Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive Rob Brydon spoofed Ross Noble by putting doing a bad impression of him saying "I appeal to students". Richhandy 00:34, 3 December 2006 (UTC)Richard Handy

[edit] Randomist Quiz Code

The code to access the Birmingham show on the third disc is 0720

[edit] Angus Deayton's last Have I Got News For You appearance...

Ross Noble wasn't on Angus Deayton's last HIGNFY appearance, the two guests were Dave Gorman and Ken Livingstone. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.157.63.213 (talk) 13:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Recurring topics deletion

I just took this out. Firstly because none of them are (as far as I know) remotely encyclopedic. None of them had any particular significence or importance, they just happened to be things he'd talked about. Secondly, they weren't properly referenced. The fact that he mentioned them once (or twice) doesn't make them 'recurring topics'. If someone finds an interview where he talks about specific topics that he's interested in and which he feels is important to his act, then reinstate the section - otherwise I think it was fairly useless.

[edit] Ross Noble on Wikipedia

Ross talks about Wikipedia on the commentary of the Newcastle show in Randomist. He talks about the article and him accepting gifts, as well as George Foreman urban myth. I was wondering if it should be given a mention. ISD 07:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I think if can craft a suitably written paragraph somewhere in the article it would be a worthwile addition to the article. Luke C 20:00, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
