[edit] Sexuality
I've removed the unsupported claim that Winner is gay (which was given its own section!). Could not find any evidence for this from a google search. This is the kind of thing which will get Wikipedia sued Bwithh 06:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC) On closer examination, the claim appears to have been made by a deliberately malicious user Bwithh 06:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the malicious user 210.7.17.217 should be neutered!Phase4 10:34, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Health
He's looking a bit thin and gaunt of late. Does he have a health problem? Martyn Smith 14:04, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

- Maybe he's just stopped being a fat b*stard. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.43.189.130 (talk) 13:12, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
- He's currently (17 January 07) in Hospital in London where newspaper reports have stated he needs to have a leg removed, as a result of an infection and morbid obesity.[1]GazMan7 13:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
By June 8th he is still to be released from hospital, some rumours and reports have indicated he is starting to suffer from organ failure...GazMan7 10:29, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- The Independent had an interview with him at home in April, and there is no subsequent record of him being taken back in. The Indy article is very detailed on the nature of his illness & subsequent treatment. --Stephen Burnett 11:06, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Yeah i read that, very strange, as i understand that he has not actually been released from hospital and is currently still there. However with-out 3rd party confirmation the Independent article is the best we have. Worth following this carefully for any other evidence to negate the Inde article.--GazMan7 15:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Michael Winner has just published a diet book, that's why he looks thin lol --81.111.128.14 14:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
He was seriously ill - thats why he lost weight - not an advisable way to lose it. He has had almost no public apearances for some time.GazMan7 (talk) 11:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Michael appeared on radio a few weeks back saying that the reason he was thin was because he dieted. He lost weight before he was ill. He particularly made the point that the weight loss was not due to the illness. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 10:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

- He is selling a diet book!, he lost weight due largely to being ill, having had a long stay in hospital. (see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=461138&in_page_id=1773), MRSA, 11 operations, close to death etc. He may want to gloss over that to make money which is a real shame.GazMan7 (talk) 13:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Address
Why was his address listed? This is not usual for Wikipedia and I have removed it from the article Paul210 (talk) 19:16, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Jewish?
I am aware that he had at least one Jewish parent, but Michael has never made a big thing of his religion, in fact I don't think I have heard him mention it at all. Wikipedia's style guide says that a subject's religion should only be mentioned if it is the reason they are notable, or if the subject has chosen to speak about this. Unless someone has evidence that he has said that he's a Hebrew, then it should be removed. DavidFarmbrough (talk) 10:55, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well I think we need to have a bit of leeway on that. His accent is that of a Jewish Brit, and what's more you're generally seen as Jewish by nationality if your mother was before you: it has nothing to do with religious practice. There's a Wikipedia category called "Jewish atheists" as though in proof of that. Not050 (talk)Not050Template:Undated-->
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Michael-Winner jpg.jpg
Image:Michael-Winner jpg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
