Hi all,
1. I've reflected on the structure of this article after its promotion and Mr Hooper's nominations for The King's Speech. It is certainly his most notable project so far and deserves significant coverage - I would suggest its own third level section within Section 2.3, (the need for this will only increase with Mr Hooper's probable coming wins). The extent of the praise so far suggests that it will remain relatively important in his biography for a long time.
2. There is a whole paragraph dealing with Hooper's criticism of the film's classification for profanity. I feel that this material could be largely moved to the film's article (retain a mention) and replaced with discussion of Hooper's achievement on the film.

This article with Tom Hooper's mother [1] says he has dual British-Australian citizenship. 86.142.104.222 ( talk) 10:17, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
No evidence has been found of his dual citizenship status. An interview in which he says he is "half Australian" is not evidence of his Australian citizenship. His nationality should remain British until evidence to the contrary is found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hermankatnip ( talk • contribs) 08:39, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Why does any of the above matter? You don't need to 'claim' him as one or the other... You can mention it in the article, but there's no need to assert he's British. Alionasa ( talk) 09:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Also, there's a note that says PLEASE FOLLOW EXISTING CONVENTIONS; THIS ARTICLE IS WRITTEN IN 'BRITISH' ENGLISH AND DOES NOT USE CITATION TEMPLATES. I'm curious about the latter if someone doesn't mind explaining it to me. Alionasa ( talk) 09:35, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure why this is being disputed however consider the following four sources:
Numerous American media outlets are describing him purely as 'British', however that does not appear to be accurate. These have all been referenced in the lede, presumably to press the case that "Australian/British" is not appropriate. However given his frequent and consistent self-identification, it seems correct to list him as British-Australian. (Wikipedia convention is to go with how the individual self-identifies, see here for a reference case.) Manning ( talk) 11:26, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
It's embarrassing for Australia to try claim him. Are you really that ordinary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.221.7.60 ( talk) 07:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved per request. Favonian ( talk) 10:51, 13 October 2013 (UTC)
– Easily the PRIMARYTOPIC, latest 90 page views are 23855 director, 402 ice hockey, 637 musician. Searching "Tom Hooper" on Google News returns results basically all about him and his films. Taylor Trescott - my talk + my edits 15:47, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
