@DaveTheBrave and RoBri: removed the word "deceased" by Graham Chapman and Terry Jones, leaving a note alleging "per Wikipedia's guidelines". What "guideline" are you referring to? There is nothing wrong with including this in the infobox. JustinTime55 (talk) 15:28, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I had the memory was that this guideline does actually exist, but obviously it doesn't. My bad, thank you. --Roger (talk) 12:47, 11 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Book Section Needs Some House Cleaning!

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Currently it's a catch all. It includes the books credited to "Monty Python", as well as books not written by Monty Python but ABOUT Monty Python ( Such as "Monty Python:The Case Against" ), and some of the Python's autobiographies!

It should just include books written by the group ... "Big Red","Bok"/"Papperbok" , "Grail", "Brian", "Meaning of Life", "Just The Words", "Badly Illustrated Songbook","The Pythons Autobiography by The Pythons" ... etc.

If one feels the need to include books about Monty Python, by other authors, you're going to need a lot of space. ( It would be as futile as trying to note all the books on The Beatles, in their Wikipedia entry. ). Perhaps a separate Wikipedia entry for those?

Biographies / Autobiographies , etc. , should appear on each of the individual's entries. ( Including Palin's diaries. It's a Michael Palin book ABOUT his time with Monty Python. )

Eddie is not transgender. He just prefers to dress that way. Change the "she/her" pronouns to "he/him" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.71.213.33 (talk) 16:44, 6 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

Eddie is genderfluid and prefers she/her pronouns (but she doesn't mind he/him). I don't even think Eddie is referred to using pronouns in this article. Dragonhawk12 (talk) (Guestbook) (Wikicats) 03:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
