This has been recently added, but there is no source nor any other evidence that he and Dorinda Stevens had a child together. Delete? Theheartof ( talk) 11:09, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
It may be connected, although the date given is years after his purported marriage, to a baffling, and needless to say, unsupported claim under 'Trivia' on Wyngarde's IMDb entry that "He had one child -- born in 1977." Dolmance ( talk) 14:27, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
How did you miss that? TheWoolpack ( talk) 19:33, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
"Assume good faith" and "Be welcoming to newcomers"
Is it any wonder that WP has such an atrocious reputation.

The phrasing of this seems to have an unpleasant "how the mighty have fallen" tone of schadenfreude, and I am minded to delete it. Don't most elderly or retired people have an entitlement to social security benefits, eg. the state pension? That's just life. Theheartof ( talk) 13:21, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Woolpack, are you sockpuppetting? ColinProbert ( talk) 20:01, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
ARoseWolf, apologies for childishness will behave better in future. ColinProbert ( talk) 17:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
I think reference to Peter Wyngarde as a possible homosexua/Bisexual l fair enough but in reference to actor Alan Bates seems to depend on only 1 source there needs to be at least 3 sources I would have thought . So I would drop the references to Alan Bates as it can't be the case that there is only 1 source and just keep the rest about him.

I am told that yesterday his appreciation society's Facebook page (members only) announced the very good news that his 1975 gross indecency offence has been disregarded and posthumously pardoned by the Home Office under this scheme:
Nothing is in the public domain, but if and when there is, it will be important to rewrite and explain the events in the "Personal life" section in order to be respectful (which I would say it already is) and lawful, and to meet the Home Office's requirements for discussion of disregarded offences.
While there may be a question over how his offence could be disregarded when sexual activity in a public toilet is still an offence under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, and is specifically excluded from the system for disregards, the important and very welcome takeaway is that a disregard and pardon for this victimless crime appears to have been granted by the Home Office. It is both noteworthy and very long overdue. Theheartof ( talk) 15:50, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
What's the connection/ distinction between peterwyngarde.uk and the wordpress site (which, per /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources, shouldn't be cited anyway)? If the former is, as mentioned above, his "official site" (run by whom?), what is the other? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.24.233.100 ( talk) 03:48, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
