The page is in, amongst other categories, English criminals, English artists, and English writers. The man's from Aberystwyth! That's in Wales! Not England! Okay, so he moved around, but the majority of his life outside was spent in Wales. So surely he's Welsh?
I've removed the sentence "aided by the fact he had shown no sign of violence for the past seven years" from the section about his parole hearing. Life Sentence prisoners are legally entitled to a hearing a minimum of every two years once their tariff has expired (Bronson's expired in 2003), regardless of their behaviour in custody. I'm also not sure it's correct. If someone wants to include a section on his recent behaviour go ahead, but please source it properly Bluebloodyhero ( talk) 22:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC) bluebloodyhero
In short: He smeared himself in butter and ran through the prison naked, fighting 12 warders in the gym, before finally being subdued... The butter was to stop him being tackled by officers... XD
who else is in the running for this title? are there criminals in other countries who didn't gain notoriety until *after* they were incarcerated? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.101.160.159 ( talk) 18:53, 1 July 2011 (UTC)

"Auction of Bronson's art raises £1,500 for brave friends 25 May 2011 bronson
THE Talybont brother of notorious prisoner Charles Bronson has presented a £1,500 cheque to two victims of extreme violence, for them to go on holiday.
Mark Peterson, brother of the inmate dubbed Britain’s most violent prisoner, auctioned two pieces of Bronson’s artwork to raise money for Tirion Lewis, of Penrhyncoch, and Miriam Evans, of Trisant." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tynllidiart ( talk • contribs) 05:39, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
The Daily Mail and The Mirror are not reliable sources. Other publications should be sought for the sentences that cite these papers. I'm also wondering about "On 12 November 2010, Bronson was involved in another incident in Wakefield prison’s F Wing..." because the covering-himself-in-butter incident was portrayed in the film 2 years prior.

This article seems to depend hugely upon primary sources in the form of books written entirely or in part by Bronson himself. Can somebody qualified give an opinion as to whether this is a good or bad thing? There are other references, but relatively few. 86.138.235.0 ( talk) 21:21, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
The Daily Mirror and other tabloids are not reliable sources... so, why is it that every source is from a tabloid or an alleged auto-biography?
Seriously, does anyone really believe this stuff or is it just the fact that I'm one of the 5 people that have seen the movie and bothered to verify the story? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.184.102 ( talk • contribs) 01:24, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
I keep hearing about Charles Salvador's artwork, this article mentions that some of it was on public display, and won multiple awards. Yet, I cannot find any info / photos of them. I'm assuming there aren't any photos of them here because of Wikipedia's overly-paranoid fair use policies. I'm not meaning to infringe copyright; is there anywhere I can get a low-res version of anything he's done?
On a side note, I can legally obtain images of artwork that is not in the public domain; Wikipedia is bad for not having photos of something at all unless it is 100% in the public domain. I thought low-res images of artwork are covered under fair-use? Thanks for any info. 162.219.204.36 ( talk) 22:33, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

In a C4 documentary Bronson’s mother stated that his father (her husband) was a boxer “with a short fuse” and Brandon was exposed to this violence at a young age. Should this not be included? Rustygecko ( talk) 21:05, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
