POV?
With all due respect to the dead subject, I am a little uncomfortable with the statement "Irwin's personality and outrageous antics in the series made him an international celebrity". While he certainly was a great guy, that doesn't really sound very neutral to me, sounds more like a point of view/opinion. Thoughts?--Badharlick 10:21, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
September 3 or 4
The article says he died september 4 at 11:00am but right now is september 4 and it's 2:40.Did he died september 3.User:Alfredosolis
It was 11:00am Eastern Standard Time for Australia where he was. VoRn 09:49, 4 September 2006 (UTC)VoRn
He died today at around 0100 UTC time, or 11:00am local time. --DavidHOzAu 09:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- He died just after 11.00am (Australian Eastern time) on Monday 4 September. The news broke about 3 hours later after his family had been informed. The first edit was made to the Misplaced Pages article at about 2.13pm (but reverted shortly afterwards as unverified), so the article was amended very quickly after the event. --Canley 09:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Crikey Link
There is a link to his phrase "Crikey!" which goes to an article about the website crikey.com, which I feel holds no relevance to his catch phrase.
- I've removed the link. --Canley 09:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
MSN Messenger
Please feel free to revoke me if you want, but given that there will be all sorts of things done by people all over the world in tribute to, and in memory of Steve, I don't feel that the MSN Messenger icon fact is particularly important to an encyclopedia article. I've removed it - I hope that's okay. Ormondroyd 09:50, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
...aah, I see it's gone already. Ormondroyd 09:51, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- I removed it, and have asked the editor for a source. Even then, I don't think it's notable enough for inclusion. -- Longhair 09:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
On the news...
news.com.au has a story about the vandalism of the page. Iorek85 10:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- "Irwin's Misplaced Pages page defaced". Let us add: "and reverted in record time". pfctdayelise (translate?) 10:15, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, the media always misses that, don't they? --Woohookitty 10:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
What was the name of his Antarctica doco?
--Greasysteve13 10:03, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- The documentary is called Ice Breaker --TBCTaLk?!? 10:13, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Birth place
According to Upper Ferntree Gully he was born in William Angliss Hospital, but according to this page, Steve Irwin, he was born in Essendon. Which page is right? (at least before the page was just vandalised :-()
Archiving
This article talk page has recieved over 100 edits in the last 3 hours. It is going to need frequent archiving. Exercise caution and ensure that important discussions arent lost. Gnangarra 10:29, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please be more careful when doing this in future, you removed one of my recent questions before anyone could respond to it. I've put it back, but I'd rather not have to keep doing this. --Badharlick 11:48, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Order of Australia
According to Terri Irwin's wiki entry (and backed up by the Croc Hunter website), she has an AM for services to tourism however it appears Steve does not. Is that true? --bacco007 10:33, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Second or third known stingray attack in Australia?
BBC says second. The Age, citing a stingray expert, says third. This one mentions an earlier attack than the one in/near Melbourne, but does not say if it's in Australia. — LazyEditor (talk) 10:40, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Sprotected...again
Had to do it. We were literally having 3-4 edits a minute. It was so many that it was impossible to patrol. We'll give it a little bit of time. --Woohookitty 10:41, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
