I'm sure this was written by an avid fan, but it falls short of encyclopedia requirements. riana 18:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
"Angela (who in 2008 the press claimed to be a British National Party activist), however the rumour appeared unfounded."
Footnotes for either points would help, first that she was/is a BNP activist (which I think is true) second that this is not true (which I think is false). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.41.62.46 ( talk) 23:53, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
Mike Reid has died today, according to BBC News 24. -- Mwongozi 18:39, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
"a fatal heart attack in the heart area of his chest area of his body" - for God's sake, if you're going to update this article then write comprehensible English - where else is someone going going to suffer a heart attack than in their heart??? If you can't write something sensible, then don't write anything. -- Arwel ( talk) 19:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
Erm, calm down? Geez.... take a chill pill my friend :) 90.199.93.224 00:48, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
86.151.43.15 21:35, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Could American readers please remember that the United Kingdom is *not* the same as England? England is not an independent sovereign state.
I was just reading the BBC's report on his death and noticed some similarities with this article. Most obvious to me was the phrase "remembered for its incomprehensible rules and the incongruity of him as presenter", which has been used in some form in this article since December 2005. Either way, one of the articles isn't citing the other. Odd, huh? -- Gid 00:08, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments. The BBC uses the Press Association as a news source and it was PA that broke the story of Mr Reid's death last night - the phrase below appeared in their copy. As to whether they used Wikipedia, you would have to ask them. We hope this helps answer your query.
The plot thickens. (I have far too much time on my hands) Incidentally, according to Google's summary, The Metro also used the same phrase. I've emailed PA asking them to clarify. As far as I'm concerned, I don't think PA should be copying from Wikipedia without citation! -- Gid 15:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Reference 1: a link to Deaths and Births England and Wales 1984-2006 is both inadequate and unnecessary.-- User:Brenont ( talk) 01:57, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Michael Reid:
Moved to Mike Reid (actor); there is clear consensus for a move from the current title, but there is not a consensus to move the disambiguation page, Mike Reid, to another title; within the subset of those supporting the move of Mike Reid (entertainer), there is a clear majority willing to accept a move to the "(actor)" disambiguator, either as a first choice or a second choice, including by the nominator. The disambiguation page, Mike Reid, is not moved. Because the existence of a singer (a form of entertainer) makes that disambiguator ineffective, I will redirect it to the disambiguation page. bd2412 T 15:20, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
– Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC the East Enders actor Mike Reid (entertainer) has been viewed 14,218 times in the last 90 days., while the American golfer Mike Reid (golfer) has been viewed 1,738 times in the last 90 days. The American country music singer and former American footballer Mike Reid (American footballer) has been viewed 82 times in the last 90 days.. Second choice if Primary not accepted, move to Mike Reid (actor) by WP:CRITERIA No.2 and also WP:DAB to avoid clash with the singer and ex-American footballer's 2 country albums at Category:Mike Reid albums.

I know absolutely nothing about this actor, but it says here:
Reid was thus bestowed with the title of Baron of Troup, a genuine and hereditary barony, though one conveying no privilege aside from the use of the title itself.
If this is a barony shouldn't the lede and infobox include this amongst his titles as 13th Baron ? Even if but a laird-ship and maybe equivalent to Lord of the Manor, it is nonetheless a thing --- and having read recently on Wiki many people involved in the War of the Roses and 4 centuries later the Grand Whiggery of the 18th century, I don't see that personal worthiness of the owner or the rank of a title were in any way germane to acknowledging it.
