Moved 2 facts into different parts of the article. Any suggestions on what to do with the remaining one ? ThisIsAce 07:29, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
This page seems to be a fan or promotional page. They are TV personalities, so I suppose there is an argument for this page surviving, it should have much trivia and puff removed leaving a skeleton. I will leave this comment for a month and if nobody argues, I will carry out an edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.241.235.197 ( talk • contribs) 10:48, July 25, 2007
The article states the grades that both Ant and Dec achieved whilst at school. However the article does not declare which type of exams (e.g. GCSE's, O-Level's etc.) the grades refer to. Satchy 07:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Due to the persistantly high level of vandalism, I've applied for page protection. If it continues after the block apply again - anyone can do so as long as the vandalism is >5% of edits and from dynamic IP addresses. As a quick example of how to do it, here's my request on
Wikipedia:Requests for page protection
-
===={{la|Ant & Dec}}====
'''Temporary semi-protection''' 12/26 (46%) of edits have been IP vandalism over the last month. Thanks ~~~~

The opening sentence feels very awkward to me:
I'd rewrite it thus:
Comment? — Tamfang ( talk) 18:59, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Anthony "Ant" McPartlin and Declan "Dec" Donnelly, known collectively as Ant & Dec…
Is it really necessary to embed "Ant" and "Dec" in their real names? It reads clumsily and it is stated in the same line that they are known as Ant & Dec. Would it not be preferable to include their real middle names? Labalius ( talk) 02:57, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't the Image have them on opposite sides?... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurtle ( talk • contribs) 18:05, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Ant's date of birth has a different year on this page to his own - which is correct? Mister pink2 ( talk) 21:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Congratulations to this article for pointing out that there appearances differ significantly. I do not think they look like each other, despite all the claims in the media to the contrary. ACEOREVIVED ( talk) 14:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
I believe that the section of Kelly Brooke claiming that Ant and Dec were the reason for Brooke's omission from the show should be removed from the article as it is clearly tabloid rumour and is not reliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.126.105.52 ( talk) 20:33, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
I removed the mnemonic from the opening paragraph as is seems a bit silly...
UKWikiGuy ( talk) 19:28, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
They are both British. Declan Donnelly's parents may well be Irish but he is British. ( Coachtripfan ( talk) 15:23, 6 December 2013 (UTC))
The original images are so bad, in comparison with the new one, which has both Ant & Dec in it and is also it is much clearer, instead of a poor side view.
Let's have a discussion about it...
I vote for the new image File:Ant and Dec in Cardiff Bay.jpg. SethWhales talk 18:49, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
