Why did he leave The New Statesman? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.135.74 (talk) 02:58, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That photo has been there forever, and it's terrible. Is there not a better free to use one available somewhere? --Jkaharper (talk) 17:55, 29 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why, when a source clearly indicates Sallis is divorced, do editors keep removing the statement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.34.114 (talk • contribs)

92.24.34.114, you might consider directly asking the people who remove it.[1][2] Cyphoidbomb (talk) 01:05, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reinvigorating this discussion, this source does not say that Sallis divorced Usher, it only says "Peter tells me he lived in Potters Bar for six years before he divorced and has good memories of Hertfordshire." This article was written in 2007. There is no mention of who he divorced. Conversely, in this 2011 article it mentions Sallis being married to Usher, "his wife of over 50 years ... who he married in 1957." So there's clearly some ambiguity there, and it's conceivable that Sallis had been married before--he was about 36 in 1957. Until we can find a source that explicitly states he divorced Usher, I think it's interpretive to include the claim. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:50, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please update this article as further information emerges regarding Sallis's passing. DanielEnnisTV ✉ 16:09, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has now been done. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:47, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

dont want to be vandalising someone elses edits , but would just like it to be made aware that he was the voice of jim in a bbc radio 4 adaptation of briggs "when the wind blows" in 1983 ...as is mentioned here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/inspiration/profile_raymond_briggs.shtml and here http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/9144b6c80b9b4c7c97d8da016c46f047 2.24.132.243 (talk) 19:03, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now added. Many thanks for noting this and providing sources. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:55, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This section states:

Sallis played the role of Clegg from 1973 to 2010, and was the only cast member to appear in every episode. Later, he appeared as Clegg's father in First of the Summer Wine (1988),[8] a prequel to Last of the Summer Wine set in 1939.

This seems rather clumsily worded as it seems to infer that 1988 is later than 2010.208.81.28.208 (talk) 14:35, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think most people would know that 2010 is later than 1988. But maybe it could say "He also appeared, in 1988, as Cleggs' father ..."? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:44, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since November 2023, a London-based IP range has made about twenty million edits to this article, including the addition of a widespread hoax that Sallis had an "uncredited" role in Rex the Runt. I scoured the search function at bfi.org.uk (the source given for many credits on the tables) and, as I thought, no such credit. Therefore, every single addition by the IP should be viewed as potential hoax material. They keep linkspamming a site – en.kinorium.com – which appears to be nothing more than a fancy aggregator. I encourage anyone with a bit of time to waste to verify as much as they can. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The IP has now returned and is using this VOD site as a source. Again, completely unreliable. Revert on sight. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 00:04, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I request to add information 81.129.26.1 (talk) 19:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is it to add Rex the Runt to his credits again? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 20:10, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I trying to add on this theatre credits 2A04:4A43:503F:D060:6102:A06:72E5:B175 (talk) 12:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Cannolis (talk) 01:55, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’m trying to add his theatre credits to Peter Sallis Wikipedia page 2A04:4A43:505F:E05E:50D2:596A:3A30:1D97 (talk) 14:00, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And what source do you intend to use? Mac Dreamstate (talk) 19:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There's been so many films and series added recently that it's getting out of hand, especially with all the citations to BFI - should it be paired down to a selected filmography? Harryhenry1 (talk) 08:25, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Strongly agree that it needs to be toned down. I've only got this article watchlisted because of the above hoaxter vandal, so anything that makes it easier to verify new additions would be welcome. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 13:12, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt most of the additions in terms of them being correct, but I'm not sure what criteria we should be using here since I haven't done something like this before. Harryhenry1 (talk) 14:52, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
