Yeah we can all press the revert button, care to explain why? Is scottish a legal nationality? No. Tim! (talk) 23:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
That is how Scottish people are referred to in articles on WP. It is also how Rob describes himself. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 23:07, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
Scotland is a nation, hence Scottish is a nationality. What on earth has "legal" got to do with it?--Mais oui! 03:25, 29 January 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be added to the career section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.95.112.28 (talk) 12:21, 8 February 2010 (UTC) HarshArunJoshi 17:34, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
Anyone going to mention Doctor who rumours? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.21.158.193 (talk) 16:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
This post on another forum indicates that this edit might have been made as part of a "Wikipedia vandalization" contest. The IP responsible for the edit has a long history of vandalism and was blocked for 3 months shortly after the edit was made. I have therefore reverted the edit. If it was in fact made in good faith, it should be possible to supply a reliable source to support it.

The picture displays with text artefacts that do not appear in the source. I do not know what is the reason for this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.0.153 (talk) 22:37, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't there be some mention of his BAFTA win in the text, rather than just the link in the infobox at the bottom - what did he win it for? The Full Monty? Hamish Macbeth? Inquiring minds want to know these things... :) Grutness...wha? 22:06, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
I strongly think that the current pic of him taken in 2011 should be the current picture. It's by far the best picture of Carlyle available for us to use in terms of him looking straight at the camera with nothing obscuring him.
I'm not sure what exactly the rule is for showing an actor in costume but the one for Charlie Chaplin shows Chaplin as his "Tramp" character, and in this case, it's just Carlyle wearing a suit and nothing outlandish or covered in Rumpelstiltskin's makeup. --CyberGhostface (talk) 02:05, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
Just wondering, how come his role in Stargate keeps getting removed from the opening lede? I've never watched the show but I imagine it's a fairly significant role for his career having lasted 40 episodes.--CyberGhostface (talk) 20:14, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
This does read a bit like a hand-out for an audition. It could do with re-writing in plain English. We still have two 'high profiles' close to each other when neither is really necessary. Other changes might make it a better read. Cannonmc (talk) 02:13, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Per WP:LEAD the info there should be a summary of the article. It is not meant to be a long list of the film and TV shows that he has appeared in. It is a fact that it could be improved but just adding in a film that one editor enjoys (as is currently being done) does not do that. MarnetteD|Talk 22:24, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
Mhodge23 (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2016 (UTC) I can find no credible source to substantiate Robert Carlyle's involvement in this production. All my searches lead back to [1] which appears to be nothing more than fiction.
