[edit] Losing arms

Maybe some mention could be given to the number of times Ironside loses or lacks arms in movies, e.g. loses arms in Total Recall, loses arm in The Machinist, is missing arm in Starship Troopers...

As well as both legs in Starship Troopers and head in The Highlander II. Not to mention all the real injuries he has received during filming: a broken ankle in Visiting Hours, dislocated jaw in Highlander II (as well as almost losing his thumb), separated ribs in Total Recall.

[edit] ‘Total Recall’

His fight scene isn’t that memorable in Total Recall. I forgot he was even in it.

See you at the party TotalTommyTerror!

Have to disagree there. Richter (Ironside’s character) is one of my favorite parts of Total Recall. I admit however that considering how hard he had to chase Quaid, when they finally battle one-on-one it’s surprisingly brief! Felicity4711 01:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
And he was doing that fight scene with separated ribs. That, friend, is acting! Rayhne (talk) 14:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ‘Stargate’ Project

Please manually move the above banner to the top of the page.

This banner has been added to aid project coordination. It was added using AWB, the automation of which could not place the banner at the top; please help by doing this manually.—Albotim 02:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Done.—NEMT 22:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ‘Splinter Cell’ credits

I changed the line:
he has voiced Tom Clancy’s character of Sam Fisher in the three (soon to be four) main Splinter Cell games
to
as he has voiced Tom Clancy’s character of Sam Fisher in the first three main Splinter Cell games
Ironside does not voice Sam Fisher in the upcoming Splinter Cell: Double Agent.—NEMT 22:07, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes he does
I don’t know where you get your info, but Ironside’s doing Double Agent. Check IMDB.—Roland

[edit] ‘SeaQuest’ pic

Off topic, but can I just say that using Ironside’s pic from SeaQuest (out of all the other stuff he’s done) is extrememly hilarious. Maestro78 19:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC) maestro78

[edit] Photo

I realize Wikipedia is short on public-domain images, and no disrespect intended to the person who went to the trouble of providing this one, but the photo of Ironside for this article is sort of unflattering. Is there a better out there that we can use? Felicity4711 01:40, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I have tons. I'll get one. Or feel free to go to my site (http://www.michaelironsidefans.net) and choose one. Rayhne 21:13, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Before doing so, please take the time to read our policies on fair use and free content as addressed to in the template above to make sure the image complies. Thanks, have a nice day. Rosenknospe 09:06, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't spot it earlier. I do have some public appearance photos posted there. I will asked the taker if I may post one here. I do have to ask, due to the total lack of information on Michael on the web, why can't my informational site for him be included here?Rayhne (talk) 21:38, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time ;D Fair use images and free use images without sourcing informations are quickly removed, and I'd regret it if you got your image deleted without even knowing why. About your site, policy says no links to personal sites and open wikis are to be included in External links sections. The exception would be if Ironside himself endorsed your site in any way, making it official, which you say yourself is not the case; so I'm afraid you can't include it here. I know it can be frustrating, but you still can expand this article and get the credit for it. I expect you find the information you publish on your site on the Internet or by reading papers; you can do the same here, only you have to provide the source. See why this is important at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Hope this helps, and happy editing. Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 12:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the explanation. I was getting confused as to why the site was removed. I thought it meet the guidelines but I guess I misread something. I will properly cite the photo when I post it this weekend. Since I already post the information I find on Mike to my MI wiki, I don't plan on posting here as well. Rayhne (talk) 19:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Uploaded picture. Hope I did the crediting okay. If not, let me know and I will fix it. It was taken at the 2004 London Film and Comic Con by a friend, who gave me permission to upload it. Rayhne (talk) 01:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Excellent job. I have added the summary template on the picture page, please check it and add the name of the author. You might also want to expand the other info, especially the date. The rest is okay :D It's been a pleasure to talk with you. Have a nice day, Rosenknospe (talk) 14:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
