I know someone has written here before about getting a new photo, but that was in 2007. How about a new one, with his beard, because he looks (a) much older now and (b) much better with a beard. This is not meant to be (entirely) facetious! -- P123cat1 ( talk) 22:07, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
I second that! He does look much better with a beard. Here is it, seven years later, and still no new photo. Can't we just acquire one from the web? --

You can't apply to both Oxford and Cambridge, and I'd be surprised if you could get into Cambridge to study History through Clearing, even back then. Do we have a better source than a Daily Mail article that isn't even apparently paraphrasing him? 86.164.73.169 ( talk) 20:50, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Contrary to the source and other mentions elsewhere Mitchell's father was not born in Liverpool. His father was born in the St. Helens registration district in 1946. This district does not cover Liverpool. His father's parents, James F Mitchell and Margaret S Forbes, were married at St Ann's CE church in Rainhill in 1940. James F Mitchell, incorporated accountant, was living at 119 St. James Road, Eccleston, Prescot on the 1939 Register. Prescot, Rainhill and St. Helens are near Liverpool so it's more accurate to say near Liverpool. See Free BMD and Lancashire BMD websites for the index records for the father's birth and the grandparents' marriage and Find My Past for the 1939 Register.

The article has stated for some time now that Mitchell is a user of Twitter, but a large number of people are today. Is this something that still warrants mentioning in the article? Cooltrainer Hugh ( talk) 20:44, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
I undid the removal of properly sourced information from the info box and twice undid further removal of this by two users who provided no explanation for this, but did give a disruptive editing warning. As I understand Wikipedias rules this is could be considered disruptive editing on their part and an example of biting the newcomer.
Please give an explanation for why you are promptly excluding properly sourced and normal content for a biographic wiki box. 82.34.180.146 ( talk) 15:28, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
@ Unbh and Seasider53: Please come to this talk page and discuss the issue of nationality, citing sources and policy. Try to reach consensus. -- MelanieN ( talk) 05:27, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
There is some problem with reference 2 (Who’s Who 2011). It is displaying as “ {{
cite book}}
: Empty citation (
help): |work=ignored (help)”
but I do not have the Wikipedia editing expertise to diagnose or fix it
