IMDB - Reporting admins?

    On the Jimmy Carr profile (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0139743/) it says he was born in Slough, UK, but he was actually born in Limerick.

    I've submitted a correction to the admins twice already but they appear to be ignoring me. I've provided them will several sources that state Jimmy was born in Limerick. There's loads of references at the bottom of the Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carr

    Is there anything else I can do to have the profile corrected?

    I'm sure in one of his shows he speaks about being born in ireland....

    Still a little bit pedantic to be so worried about it is it not?

    Does it really matter? Most Irish people actors are refered to as British in most interviews and articles anyways.

    Surely thats an oxymoron?




    Is it too much to ask for people to have just a small bit of national pride?


    Im sure it would be corrected quickly enough if a British actor was refered to as Irish.

    If Jimmy Carr has a probelm, he can sort it out. Otherwise it really has nothing to do with the rest of us.

    His parents are from Limerick but was he actually born there?
    I know he spent some summers there.

    It's been a long day. I think I'm allowed a typo or three.

    If he has a problem with it then he can change it himself.

    Where were Chris De Burgh, Johnny Logan, Peter O'Toole, The Edge, and Phil Lynott born?

    Are you sure you want to claim Chris De Burger? ;)

    Many "Irishman/woman" have little direct association with the place but history tells us its a card worth playing.

    He does use a line at times that goes approximately "I'm from Limerick. But I've got over that now."
