Some sources say that Richard Harris was born in 1933 instead of 1930. Why is this? Were some birth records wrong? --Marcus2

I was about to rv your amendment 1933 to 1930, but you beat me to it Marcus2. Google seems to make it pretty clear it was the earlier date - especially the refs to him being over 70 years old when he died. Cheers Moriori 22:13, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)

Okay, but that doesn't answer my question. It was, "Some sources say that Richard Harris was born in 1933 instead of 1930. Why is this? Were some birth records wrong?" And what is ref short for, reference? --Marcus2

I don't know the answer to the question. I'd guess someone, somewhere made a typo which was subsequently picked up by a couple of others.. Yep, refs are references.Moriori 21:21, Jun 11, 2004 (UTC)

When can we have a filmography and discography for this artist. He had done some spoken-word readings on record - "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" and "The Prophet". -- --SimonMackay 8 July 2005 08:27 (UTC)

Support for the IRA

I've added the {{unreferenced}} tag to this section, as no sources or references were provided and I can't find anything to back this up via Google. I intend to remove the paragraph entirely if no source for these claims is provided. Demiurge 17:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Harris's vocal support for the IRA from 1973 until 1983 is well known and is included in every biography of the actor. You must restore the information to the article in order to present an accurate view of the man and his life.

There should be something about the IRA support on this page, he was an apologist for the IRA and strongly believed in their cause user:angryafghan

Requested move

Richard Harris (actor) → Richard Harris … Rationale: Richard Harris (actor) is likely the article wanted and Richard Harris (politician) is a redirect to Dick Harris. All others listed at (the newly-created) Richard Harris (disambiguation) are either dead or not notable enough to currently have an article. … Please share your opinion at Talk:Richard Harris (actor). —Gordon P.

Support. See above. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 22:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Support. Seems an obvious move to me, I feel it's likely that the vast majority of readers will be looking for the actor. Note that "being dead" doesn't prevent someone being relevant in the encyclopedia, a good thing too as Mr Harris is sadly no longer with us. — Estarriol ^talk 11:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Duh, I knew that. Stupid me. Anyway, I was referring to Richard Harris (prospector), who has been dead since 1907. —Gordon P. Hemsley→✉ 02:55, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support, Gordon's reasons above make sense to me. Demiurge 12:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
