No image for Jones?
[edit]The actor who played Arthur Dent in the 12-part radio adaptation, the 6-part LP audio adaptation, and the 6-part television adaptation of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" needs a portrait/picture. I don't know how to do it. Perhaps someone can help? 97.113.146.165 (talk) 20:14, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Untitled
[edit]This should be moved to Simon Jones because there is no disambiguation needed, as far as I know. I'd do it myself, but the redirect's in the way. - Furrykef 10:06, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Of course the above no longer applies. - furrykef (Talk at me) 06:00, 1 May 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Blackadder II - Potato.jpg
[edit]Image:Blackadder II - Potato.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Confused. What would that rationale be? Why is this not fair use? A definition/explanation would be meaningful and educational to know before getting into all that. 97.113.146.165 (talk) 20:06, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

[edit]I added information about Simon Jones' Oct.8th car accident but I don't know if I did it right.

In regional theatre at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis, Jones starred as Christopher Gore in the American premier of Brian Friel's The Home Place in late 2007; he returned there in late 2008 to portray C. S. Lewis in Shadowlands.
In 2010, Jones joined in the Irish Repertory Theatre's production of A Child's Christmas in Wales, a concert version of the Dylan Thomas work. This ran from 8 December 2009 to 2 January 2010.
In 2011, Jones played Piero Soderini in Divine Rivalry — a new play by Michael Kramer, directed by Michael Wilson, and produced by the Shubert Organisation – at the Hartford Stage Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut. Jones had played this part in several previous readings of the play. Later in the year, he was in a new musical version of Death Takes a Holiday, from the book by Tom Meehan and Peter Stone, with music by Maury Yeston; it. It ran in New York City, at the Roundabout's Laura Pels Theatre, from 7 July to 4 September. A CD was released shortly afterwards.
From there, Jones returned to London, where he attended the opening night of No Naughty Bits, at the Hampstead Theatre on 13 September. The play, by Steve Thompson, was the story of Jones's wife, Nancy Lewis, and the Monty Python team's lawsuit against ABC-TV in America.
In 2012 Jones played David Bliss, husband of Harriet Harris, in Hay Fever at the Guthrie Theatre, directed by Jones' friend Chris Luscombe. Jones then appeared (in the role of Sir Francis Beekman), with Megan Hilty starring in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at ENCORES! concert series at City Center in New York City, which also resulted in CD.
In the summer of 2013, Jones went to East Hampton, New York, where Tony Walton directed him in a production of Tonight at 8:30, featuring three of Noël Coward's short plays. Blythe Danner was the co-star, and they performed "Hands Across the Sea", "Family Album" and "Red Peppers". This was accompanied in 2014, by an appearance at a special cabaret (organised by co-star Janie Dee) at the Cafe de Paris, where he sang "Mad Dogs and Englishmen". That June, he portrayed Emperor Joseph II in Amadeus, starring Rupert Everett.
In 2015 he played the Man in Chair in Drowsy Chaperone at Cape Playhouse in Massachusetts, and immediately afterwards went to Sag Harbor to play Major Bouvier and Norman Vincent Peale in Grey Gardens with Rachel York and Betty Buckley, again directed by Michael Wilson; this same production went to Los Angeles in 2016 at the Ahmanson Theatre.
From 18 November 2021 to 9 January 2022, Jones starred as Henry in the Broadway premiere of Trouble in Mind by Alice Childress.
