The majority of readers will be interested in Emily Maitlis' occupation, rather than her religious/ethnic background - hence it is more appropriate to major on her journalistic history in the first paragraph of her biography.

I've kept the oft-added link to the United Jewish Israel Appeal - but put in the third paragraph which seems a lot more appropriate.

Having now made the changes, I'll stick my neck out and suggest that we discuss the matter on this page before someone immediately reverts the page again. Perhaps more energy needs to be put into creating an article about UJIA! AMe 21:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Her religious or ethnic background is of interest and should be included. How do you know what will interest the majority of readers? In any case it is relevant information.

You're right on most counts. It is of interest - and was included in teh third paragraph (or if it wasn't, should be). I don't know what will interest the majority of readers. Neither do you. It is relevent - but why add a second link to the UJIA? Two links on the one page to the same external source (in fact the only one I can find on Google linking Maitlis to UJIA) is one too many by Wiki's standards. AMe 16:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

If you follow the first outside link on the page, the website states that Maitlis was born in 1972, not 1970 as in this article. Which is correct?
