I was wondering why today there's all of a sudden a surge in edit activity on the Nicholas Winton page. Answer: Winton is the subject of today's Google Doodle. -- Roger Hui ( talk) 20:15, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
The photo in the sidebar of Mr. Winton is described of being him in Prague in October 10 2016. Yet the article is consistent in placing his death in 2015. Unless Mr. Winton has become a vampire one of these dates is clearly in error. 2600:8801:1280:3719:E95C:48A7:A335:CDF1 ( talk) 20:02, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
There's a better link for the program here, on the bbc https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/nicholas_winton_on_thats_life/zbmxhbk
The events in the video don't quite match up with the article text. The video seems to come from two different episodes: Halfway through, the host has a total outfit change, the audience members sitting next to him have changed, and the video also has a date appear in the corner when the second clip starts.
Finally, and perhaps most obviously: the host mentions "We asked other people to get in touch", which doesn't really make sense if it's the first time the story was told.
It makes more sense with two episodes: On the first, he was invited on and reunited with three people they'd managed to trace. Then, in a following episode, they mention "We asked other people to get in touch, so, if your live was saved, please stand up." There isn't a second call for grandchildren or children to stand up, as mentioned in the article. Instead, the host asks everyone to return to their seats. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.133.16 ( talk) 07:46, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
I noticed that winton's listed in "English Atheist". As far as i see, no source on the wikipedia page mentions he's at all an atheist. At most is a now defunct page of him supposedly being disillusioned with religion, which does not at all imply atheism. Should this be removed? 2601:987:200:F470:50F5:3ED8:61D5:FA22 ( talk) 19:24, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
They also converted to Christianity, and Winton was baptised. [1]So I suggest the Category is removed. Thanks. Martinevans123 ( talk) 19:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello. First let me say how much I love Wikipedia. You ALL do an incredible job. This past Saturday I saw One Life, the movie about Nicholas Winton. I excitedly went to Wikipedia after watching the movie to get more information on 3 incredible women that were impactful on this story about Mr Winton. I was shocked and disappointed none had their own Wikipedia page.The three women are: Grete Winton Barbara Winton Babette Winton So hoping you look into these truly incredible women who so deserve a page. Thank you Also many thanks to your continued informative site Candy Elisevich 98.243.81.82 ( talk) 21:43, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
