[edit] Is Jason Isaacs married?

Edited section on private life--Jason and Emma are not married. He's said in several interviews that they've talked about it, but something's always come up, and that they'll probably get married when Lily tells them that they're embarassing her.nmw 07:44, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Somebody had changed it back to "wife". I've fixed it and added a reference.--Brother William 08:26, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Actually, as of sometime late last year, Jason's been referring to Emma as his wife, and he's started wearing what appears to be a wedding band. I guess they figured that after the second kid, they might as well make it legal.nmw 20:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Haven't seen any articles mentioning that Jason Isaacs and Emma Hewitt have married. In an article on the website of The Sun, believed to have been published in 2006, Isaacs states that he and Hewitt have not formally married yet. If there are any new articles, please update the article with a citation. Cheers, Jacklee 18:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did Isaacs drop out of university?

The article states that Jason dropped out of Bristol to go to Central--is this correct?nmw 20:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. The article currently states that he graduated from Bristol University before studying at the Central School of Speech and Drama, but an article from Moviefone, which I've put in a footnote, says he dropped out of university. If anyone can clarify this, please update the article with a citation. Cheers, Jacklee 18:19, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Publicity photo

I've removed the publicity photo from the article. It's copyrighted, and fair use specifically does not cover use in the actor's article. WP:FUC explains the details. The copyright notice on the image's page also explains it pretty well. The short of it is that the image is owned by the the movie folks and can only be used to illustrate movie related stuff. Oddly enough, the actor's bio isn't covered. I suppose if we created a "roles" section, we could use the image to illustrate that particular role. Rklawton 01:59, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Doh! I see there is a such a section, so I went ahead and moved the image down there. Rklawton 02:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

All photographs have been removed from this article by an administrator for non-compliance with the non-free content criteria. Please try to locate copyright-free images for use in this article, if possible. Cheers, Jacklee 13:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

A freely-licensed image has been added to the article. Woo hoo! — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 01:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where is Isaacs currently living?

The article used to state that Isaacs and his family are currently living in Barrington, Rhode Island, but this was changed today to Providence, Rhode Island. Neither claim has been referenced. Can anyone provide a citation for this fact? Cheers, Jacklee 22:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

I've deleted all mention of where Isaacs and his family are currently living, as this information is likely to change from time to time and is very difficult to verify. In any case, it's of marginal interest only. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 00:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] External links

Though they keep reappearing, I have deleted three of the fansites listed because each one contains a large amount of copyrights images and/or videos that do not belong to the webmaster. That's against Wikipedia policy to link to such sites that violate copyrights. ‹The template Unsigned3 is being considered for deletion.› —The preceding comment is by 68.45.69.184 (talk • contribs) 17:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC): Please sign your posts!

Hi, I was the editor who added the links back. It would have helped if you had explained your reason for deleting the links in the edit summary. Without such an explanation, the edit looked very much like vandalism. Now that you've provided a good reason why the links shouldn't be there, I won't restore them. Cheers, Jacklee 20:22, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know how to "explain" the reasons on the history page. That's why all links violating copyrights that I've deleted have been explained on their respective discussion pages. 68.45.69.184 04:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

When you're making an edit, at the bottom of the edit window there's a field called "Edit summary" (for more information on this, click the link). Just put a short explanation in this field of why you're making the edit before clicking "Save page". Or, as you've done, put a short note here on the Talk page. It helps to let other editors know what you're up to and avoids misunderstandings. Cheers, Jacklee 08:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tyber Zann

Hi, 71.99.51.17, you recently edited the article "Jason Isaacs" to add the following sentence: "Jason Issac's likeness was used as the model for the villain Tyber Zann, in the Star Wars game Star Wars: Forces of Corruption." This isn't the first time the information has been inserted, but it has been removed so far because no reference has been provided for it. Without a reference, it is not possible to tell whether the Star Wars game character was actually based on Isaacs or whether this is just a coincidence. It isn't enough simply if some editors think Tyber Zann looks like Isaacs. Therefore, do refrain from reinserting the information unless you can provide a reference for it. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 16:16, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Member of the Order of the British Empire?

Hi, 59.100.222.182. You've edited the article three times to add the postnominal letters "CBE" once, and then "MBE" twice, after Isaacs' name in the lead, suggesting that he was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire. You did not indicate in the edit summary your reasons for inserting this information. I've reverted these edits because you did not provide any reference for this information. If you do have a reference but do not know how to insert it into the article, please post the information here on the talk page so that an editor can help you. Otherwise, please do not keep reinserting the unreferenced information. Thanks. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 14:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
