Is there a reliable source for his date of death? The press release, from Only Fools and Horses News, on Twitter did not give any. Martinevans123 ( talk) 16:07, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
According to The Sun, Challis died Sunday Morning.

Anon IP, you accuse me above of "rejecting" The Times source. In fact you claim "sources" plural. When did I do that? At ITN/Nom I merely pointed out that The Times article was behind a paywall and so I could not verify it. I suggested enhancing it with a quote. Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:03, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
You also say, in the passage you have hatted (for no good reason) above: "Nice passive-aggressive rubbish to cover your ineptitude on a lack of knowledge of what is a rather basic guideline." That looks to me like a pretty blatant personal attack? Martinevans123 ( talk) 14:12, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Here is Telegraph's obituary, since it is also behind a paywall I copied the text. The date of death is at the very end :

I hope this can put an end to this pointless debate... 194.69.14.132 ( talk) 14:42, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
There was an entry for "John Challis (5)" that I was updating, but it disappeared during editing. Added data, but when I tried to save, it says no longer there. Seems he is now "John Challis (3)". 2001:56A:FA85:3800:C67:4356:694E:D47E ( talk) 23:42, 19 September 2021 (UTC)
The infobox says he was first married to Jean Robertson in 1966 and then divorced. The Personal Life and Death section says he was first married to Carol Robertson from 1965 to 1966. Does anyone know which is correct? Editrite! ( talk) 03:44, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
This source, dated January 2018 says they lived in North Herefordshire, in the countryside near Leintwardine, Shropshire. So presumably no longer at the Abbot's Lodgings at Wigmore Abbey Grange, Adforton, Herefordshire? Martinevans123 ( talk) 18:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
The list of TV credits does not include Challis's appearance on "House Detectives" where the team of historians investigated his home which was a group of medieval buildings (presumably Wigmore Abbey Grange but I don't remember) EricPolymath ( talk) 20:29, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
In the absence of any reports to the contrary I think most people would assume that Challis died at home, and that this home was Wigmore Abbey Grange, Adforton in Herefordshire. But I'm not sure it should be explicitly stated in the text and/or added to the infobox without a clear source. Martinevans123 ( talk) 09:01, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
I've brought this section up to date with many additions and sources. I had to jiggle with the text to make it coherent with the existing content and I hope I haven't disturbed it or inadvertently deleted anything. COI: I met Challis after his performance with Ms Windsor at Festival Theatre, Malvern during the 1993 tour of Entertaining Mr. Sloane. A wonderful actor and one of my favourites, he entertained me for over an hour over a beer. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 05:28, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Useful blog with images: [2]. Martinevans123 ( talk) 11:30, 26 September 2021 (UTC) Note: Warning
The date of death on his coffin is listed as 17th September rather than 19th (when it was announced), as seen here https://twitter.com/BeingBoycie/status/1444716094644752390 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:3637:8900:113:8612:631F:7D29 ( talk) 13:24, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. Some or all of the changes weren't supported by neutral, independent, reliable sources. Consider re-submitting with content based on media, books and scholarly works. |
