The article says the first cooperation of Laurel and Hardy was Duck Soup, but imdb ([1]) says their first performances were in Forty-five Minutes from Hollywood (1926), Sugar Daddies (1927) and From Soup to Nuts (1928). DirkvdM 08:22, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

[edit] Clean Up
Why is the clean up tag on this article? Can it be removed?Robdurbar 19:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
- I assume it has to do with all the marriages? The article isn't really clear about them.--Maarten1963 02:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- The article seems not to adhere that well to the stated headings, with a good bit of jumping around chronologically.
Righto, I think I've sorted the chronology and heading problems out now, so I have removed the cleanup tag. Bob talk 12:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Quote about his own funeral
Didn't he state 'If someone at my funeral doesn't laugh, I will never speak to them again'?
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Laurelandhardychumpatoxford.jpg
Image:Laurelandhardychumpatoxford.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 insure 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] American Status
Someone had amended the page to state that Stan Laurel was an English-born, American actor. This statement is NOT true. While it is true that Laurel found his fame in the USA, at no time did Stan Laurel become an American Citizen or renounce his British citizenship. Like Sir Charles Chaplin he remained a British Citizen until his death. I feel it OK to label entries for people like Cary Grant as British-born American, as they did change their actual citizenship. However, in the case of Stan Laurel, I feel it a misleading untruth. I have amended the page to show his true origin and country.
