[edit] Italics

Hi, please don't remove italics for titles of films and magazines. The manual of style has been written for policies regarding how things should look. It states that titles of films, television shows, albums, books, and magazines should be in italics. I'd appreciate it if you didn't remove the italics for those things in the future as you did in the article for Sienna Miller. Thanks, Dismas|(talk) 18:55, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

God, i am so new at this. i've looked back through the edits and can't see how i was removing them. Although admittedly i don't think to always italicise publications etc (which i will in the future)...Amo 20:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Dismas|(talk) 20:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Emma Watson's cats

I've read both that the cats are hers and that one belongs to her brother. Although not hugely important, i figured it was better to phrase it more generally. I mean, technically my cat was my 7th birthday present, but i still think my parents wouldn't find it strange telling people that they had a cat.

You're right, it's not a big deal; but, I figured it's best to stick with something that's citeable. :) RadioKirk talk to me 15:27, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
So if i can find a source where she says that the cats belong one each to her and her brother, i could clarify?
Amo 19:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
If it's a source that would be considered reputable by the article's editors, absolutely! :) RadioKirk talk to me 20:06, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
oh, forgot to say. i found a source(http://www.scifi.com/sfw/issue238/news.html) and changed it to: "The family own two cats, named Bubbles and Domino, which belong to her and her brother respectively." someone formatted it for me. that was nice.
Amo 01:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Looks good. I made a minor correction. :) RadioKirk talk to me 01:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The History of Mr Tennant

Hello, thanks for dropping me a message about the Tennant - Polly stuff. I've added a bit to the article saying "There has, however, been no official confirmation of this", how does that grab you for now? If it doesn't happen or there's a more official denial, then we can probably just remove the whole paragraph? I'm only uneasy about using the Tennant website denial for now as I believe Wikipedia has a thing against using fansites, in most cases, as sources. However, personally I probably think they are reliable in this particular case. Anyway, thanks again for your work on this! :-) Angmering 19:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dobby in GoF

Hi Amoammo, you will see that the subsequent edit I made to the page explains the House-Elves in the film. Some sneaky special effects guy inserted Dobby and another House-Elf riding the backs of camels (or llamas) when the Weasleys, Harry and Hermione are looking for their tent at the Quidditch World Cup. It is trivial, but it is true. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 20:10, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Okey dokey. It looked like Dobby to me, but I agree, it's not confirmed. I'll put him back in to the list and adjust the page as necessary. Thanks. --Fbv65edel (discuss | contribs) 20:24, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Robbie Jarvis

Hey! I was reading the article about Robbie Jarvis and I saw that you erased two lines because there was no confirmation about them. So his birthdate is confirmated? I was wondering where people found that out... LilyGirl 01:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I know. i left it in cos it's pretty typical to not have a source for a birthdate. He's been reported as a 19 year old actor, so it doesn't really matter either way, in my opinion. It's the sort of thing you could find on the net (for example in some sort of directory) but not really want to disclose where you'd got it. Lots of reasons...
As for the ones i deleted. Well, the "seafaring" comment is pretty empty especially if there's no source for the place(s) he lives/places he's lived. And the Cedric thing, if that's true should be verifiable. Don't really know what i'm saying here...Amo 07:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Oooh I got it... I'm trying to get the confirmation about these things ;) And hmmm I liked this "seafaring" comment, but if you don't think it's worth posting then I should exclude it from my 'must confirm' list... LilyGirl 02:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citizenship/Nationality

Hello, just was wondering if you were US-born as well or how you have US Citizenship and are a UK Wikipedian. I was born in the US, but to a British parent, and don't see the point in 'place of birth' ideas of nationality. Just wondering. Cheerio, Nick Kerr 19:00, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

"don't see the point in 'place of birth' ideas of nationality". hmm, i largely agree, and i think that american's especially can take these things too seriously, but it can be fun to experience sides of yourself even if they don't necessarily come "naturally". I mean, i am the only one of my freinds who has eaten a twinkie! To answer your question, i am a UK/US citizen born (and resident) in the UK, to one American and one Enlgish parent. They found out when they registered me that if they hadn't been married i would only be a US citizen (despite being born in London) although i think that law may have changed now.Amo 19:06, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
I see, I was born in the States, but moved here at 19, however, being home-schoolled, I grew up with my father and watching lots of English telly, so I was rather shocked whenever I went to meet other people (who took being American rather seriously). I always found them rather silly, since they took this all rather seriously. In the end, is one not what one feels and which one can identify by others of a similar group? Nick Kerr 20:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Tennant

Hi there...fair enough. If you don't like it it's also Wikipedia policy to be bold and get rid of it! I just thought that paragraph read as a better summary with the mention in - just to draw it to the reader's attention immediately before the mention of there being another David McDonald. This is not exactly the stuff of flame wars so if it bothers you feel free to remove! Peeper 19:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tamsin Greig

Personally i am rubbish with IPA, so to me "gregg" is certainly more accessible, however, i was under the impression that it was wikipedia policy to only use IPA, seeing as spelling things out can lead to differences in opinion. Was what you added, really following guidelines? Amo 19:52, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Amoammo, thanks for your message and sorry for the slow reply. I assume you're referring to WP:MOSIPA and the bit that says "Pronunciation transcriptions based on traditional English spelling are discouraged". As I read it that's very much a guideline rather than an agreed policy, and to my mind a very debatable point. I think it's a pretty dubious claim that people who have enough English to use the English WP will be thrown by English respellings any more than native English speakers -- the problem is of course that English is inherently unsuited to such tasks because of its loony orthography. But a respelling (or other non-specialist approach such as "rhymes with..." which is, perhaps illogically, sanctioned by that guideline) is nearly always possible, and far more helpful to the average user. Add to that the fact that, as you've no doubt noticed, the IPA is very often added by people that know rather less about it than they think -- nearly all the IPA transcriptions I've seen have been to some extent faulty -- and the fact that no systematic poslicy is applied in transcriptions, so that the same sound is transcribed in different ways in different places. There isn't even any consistency in how narrow to make transcriptions (often excessively narrow to show off the editor's familiarity with the IPA chart!), or even whether they should be phonemic or phonetic, and let's not even get started on the question of whose accent should be transcribed in the IPA! This is a guideline that hasn't begun to be thought through, IMHO. It would surely be madness to remove a respelling that is 100% comprehensible to everyone in favour of IPA which is understood by a tiny minority of users. By all means add IPA, though it's really overkill here when all we're doing is distinguishing /i:/ from /e/. So in this case at least, surely common sense dictates leaving "Gregg" alongside the IPA. Best wishes, Flapdragon 13:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of that MoS page. It's good to know what the consensus is. I think in this case i agree with you. I'm certainly not very proficient when it comes to IPA, and i think ppl tend to glance past it with an "oh, so it might not be pronounced the way i thought it was, but at least the correct version is there for the same of the encyclopedia" sort of way. (If you see what i mean...) It also occurred to me that it might be particularly helpful to have "gregg" because, while i know most of my english-speaking friends assume it to be "Greeeg", using my knowledge of german i originally thought the "ei" would be pronouned like "eye" in English. Anyhow, thanks for your edits. Amo 20:21, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes, "Greeg" would be a perfectly logical assumption since "ei" represents /i:/ in many Scottish words. And as you say /ai/ would be a very reasonable guess too. When I get round to it(!) I must have a look at where WP really stands on all this pronunciation business and what can be done to improve things (several times people have taken out my respellings when adding IPA so it's an issue that's come up before) but as I say I suspect it hasn't been properly thought through. Cheers Flapdragon 21:20, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helpme?

Hello, what was it that needed help with? -Dawson 20:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, i've been wondering about how to change article titles in ages, but can't find any info on wikipedia about it. The article that's made it come to the forefront of my mind again, is Etienne Guichard, which should be "Étienne Guichard". Amo 20:35, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Generally, you can use the 'move' tab at the top of a page to move it to a new article name. Have a look at Help:Moving a page. In many cases though, there may already be a redirect in the way of moving a page. At that point, you will need to enlist the assistance of an admin to swap the article and the redirect. -Dawson 20:39, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the help. I'm also having a little trouble with a guy called User:Therealeggplant on the Edward Norton page. i edited norton's full name (and provided a source for it), but he keeps coming back to rv the name, sometimes leaving the other source intact! Is there any thing i can do about it? Amo 20:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
That is most likely due to the controversial nature of the name, which may be worth mentioning in the article in some capacity. The source of Fundrace isn't a very comprehensive source, there isn't even anything that says it is definitively the same person. Anyway, he has been credited with both variations, have a look at the Edward Norton FAQ for a bit of an explanation. Generally, you want to bring up content disputes on the article's talk page, and talk it out. If it cannot be resolved, try talking with a third, neutral party - possibly an admin, to mediate. -Dawson 20:59, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Hm, that FAQ is where i got the source from. I know it's not a particularly good one. I suppose the FAQ itself couldn't be a source? Thereal eggplant didn't reply when i left a message on his talk page (it just doesn't look like he replies to anyone) and i also mentioned it on the Edward Norton talk page. How would i get in touch with an admin? Amo 21:06, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I would think the FAQ itself could be considered a source, as it is citing its own sources. You could reword the article to mention both names, and explain the confusion. Anyway, to reach an admin I've found the easiest away is to hop onto IRC and ask for an admin in #wikipedia or #wikipedia-en, but if that isn't feasible, you can always put up the helpme tag again, and I'm sure one will be along quick enough. Just make sure you stick the tag near your question so they know what you're referring to. -Dawson 21:19, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thanks. i'll get around to all that soon! Amo 21:22, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Minghella

Oh yeah, it's the Chicago Sun-Times interview that came out today. I think I cited it. Mad Jack O'Lantern 20:36, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

It says he didn't finish high school - that sounds like dropped out, right? Mad Jack O'Lantern 20:37, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Wait, I'm confused - so what what not finishing high school mean? (I'm not particularly English, though, so I'm not familiar with their school system). Mad Jack O'Lantern 21:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
lol, thanks. Kate Bosworth is on my watch list, anyway (I have to say most actresses/actors of her generation are). She was never a "Marie", HOWEVER, one time someone changed her name to "Kareem Anne Bosworth" and it stayed on for five days before anyone (me) changed it back. Weird.

Sorry for the mess up on Christian Coulson. I thought Little Britian meant you know teenagers. My mistake...ForestH2

[edit] DS9: Paradise Lost reply

Sorry it took so long to reply. The character of Leyton (Robert Foxworth) attempted to gain control of Earth to protect if from the threat of the Dominion and the Changelings. The Bolian commandant was one of several people involved. Also, the novel Hollow Men (not canon) shows Sisko visiting Leyton's character in jail. In short, the whole thing was engineered by the Founders to create chaos. Hope that answers your questions. Can I ask why you came to me (Its pretty flattering) -- Tough Little Ship 00:21, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clémence Poésy

Though your user page states that you read between the lines, does not necessarily mean you paid good attention. I wrote 'However, the IMDb states...', which means that this source, though a respectable one, does not have to be speaking the truth. It is there as a rumour, a statement, not a matter of fact. I deliberately chose the words as to present a new source, not a controversy.

I'll leave Poésy's page for what it is.

not androgynous, got that? 89.32.1.82 15:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pattinson Update

I suggest you look again at the link. Yes it was in good faith, obviously. The magazine TVHits did an article on it too, it's on the magazine issue of this April, their website doesn't cover all articles per issue though. It was also discussed at the Aldeburgh Festival of Music & Arts on the 10th in Aldeburgh[1] by the chairman.

I'm more inclined to something I've read and seen in person, than gossip like in Yahoo Answers[2] User:Green01 11:31, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Why did you delete the update when I improved on the linking? User:Green01 3:51, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Because i'm afraid i belive you are messing me around. i have seen no confirmation of that information in any of the links you have provided. Amo 17:57, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eve/Spall relationship

I do actually have a source for them living together - it was stated in an interview with Alice in ES magazine, September 23rd 2005 - so does that help?

I can't exactly prove it, apart from i own the magazine, so...

I can quote it if that helps...?

Conicidently, how do you know of them together? This interview was how I found out. X pure evil x 18:23, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, it was, + no worries about the dating/living together thing, it was my first change EVER so I wasn't thinking lol. Also, I saw Alice in 'Rock 'n' Roll' - which was amazing. Am I writing this in the right place? I'v written it in boht lolX pure evil x 15:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmmm, I've seen her in Stage Beauty, Poirot and thats about it. I caught a bit of the Rotters' Club, but not much. Do you know waht happened with that 'genius of Beethoven' thing she did? She was in it, because she did publicity on it, but I don't think it was ever on... X pure evil x 21:14, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

She was basically in a supporting role. She played Lennox Tamplin, whose mother was played by Lindsday Duncan. She had a great character to play, hair was a bit odd though. Ta for the link, I don;t spose that Rafe Spall interview for Knight of the Burning Pestle is online? X pure evil x 12:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


Her hair was basically permed, but because its really long it looked odd, a bit like a poodle lol. I think it was natural, it was her colour anyway. I don't spose u hav ne pics of her becoz i fink her page needs 1, same wiv Jamie Winstone... X pure evil x 17:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


Ta :D X pure evil x 16:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)


Very true. Have you got a link for those pictures btw? + I don't know, bt i don't know otherwise...I don't think either of them have done ne interviews lately... X pure evil x 15:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

O ty so muvch for da pic link :D Wow, OK then, that's slighty weird. I'm slightly cynical (ahem) but I don't reckon its true...hope not anyway..although I do love Rufus... O, and I saw that picture of here before lol, ta neway....

She split with him and is now with Rufus, according to the Sunday mirror... http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/archive/archive/tm_objectid=17391904%26method=full%26siteid=62484-name_page.html

Do you reckon its true? lol I don't wanna believe it, lol how sad am I? Rufus is really talented, but she's too young + pretty 2 b goin out with him, + he has a son, + 2 ex-wives, n shes only 24.... X pure evil x 22:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)


Also, I saw the article on ebay, + the picture was bad because it was small, bt it wz him kissing her on the cheek. regarding Rafe's myspace...it says he's 23...but he's 25 isn't he? X pure evil x 10:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

No, I didn't buy it on ebay, it might be still on there to look though, it was under 'Alice Eve' serach, I though it might be so i looked lol. Maybe he is 23 then.... X pure evil x 10:42, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, what ES magazine? lol I'm not a techy person, + I couldn't find time 2 start a site, + I dunno, It's just kinda 2 stalkerish 4 me X pure evil x 16:08, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Aha, that ES magazine! lol X pure evil x 10:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm OK thank you, but I know wahat you mean abouy her personality, I mean, she seems a bit over confident - but I don't know, I heard somewhere she was really nice, but w/e. She did one photo for the first ES magazine, just of her sitting wearing an expensive dress. She alwayz mentioins the horse whisperer thing - she idd inm the first article too. X pure evil x 15:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I'll be happy to type up the text, but I don't have a scanner (Also I'm away for 2 weeks from tis evening) X pure evil x 10:19, 30 July 2006 (UTC)


Ok, this is embarressing - I can't axtually find the article :S But, it basically said that she had just set up home with Rafe Spall and she was working on Starter for Ten and that she was 2nd 4 Horse Whisperer role (and she met Robert Redford through it). Sorry, + the pictures fro SFT look good actually, I can't wait to see it. X pure evil x 21:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Not sucha a great picture of Rafe though. I was watching Waking the Dead yesterday and it occurred to be he looks scarily like Samuel West... X pure evil x 17:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


I missed it too! :O Well, I havent found it online, but here is a clip of SFT fgrom that R+J, which is terrible qualit, but it looks like a great film...!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqRhZOnhZOA X pure evil x 16:32, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that - she comes off alright in that interview! lol X pure evil x 18:21, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again. So the SFT promo is onbviously starting...It seems liek it's going to be a good film anyhow X pure evil x 20:55, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link. Do you have any idea when Losing Gemma is coming out? It'll be on ITV i presume... My friend gave me the ES magazine with her Rock 'n' Roll interview, and she doesn't come off overly well your right. Is there any official news about her and Rufus Sewell? I saw Rafe Spall in Wide Sargasso Sea - it was very good, and he was, as always, amazing.

ooo interesting lol She DOES habve straneg fashion sense though.... Anyway, I'm goin to see it on friday. X pure evil x 16:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


What was SFT like? I didn't go in the end :( X pure evil x 22:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

She's getting quite a lot of media coverage/attenson all of a sudden then. Good for her I say :P I really want to see Big Nothing, becasue it looks waaaay better than Starter for Ten (which I skipped in favour of Pick of Destiny) X pure evil x 22:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


Did you watch 'Losing Gemma'? I did - was weird. It started off alright, but I kid of worked out the ending so it was a bit ruined lol I loved her with darker hair though - suited her. X pure evil x 22:36, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

On a fickle note, I think she's prettier than Alice :P Don't recognise her at all though. X pure evil x 01:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC) She seems to be becoming quite a socialite X pure evil x 20:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

No, it was this one [3]. This reference to IMDB is already on the Pierrepoint (film) page. But when I read the "Independent" article you are referring to ("putting the noose round the necks of two friends of his son, Rafe"), I doubt whether IMDB is right. The Independent article looks more trustworthy to me. Let's make a mental note (both of us) to check the FULL cast credits ASAP. --Kauko56 21:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Catherine Tate Page

Hi, I do understand your reasons for reverting some of my edits, but I still think it important to show that she actually worte and appeared in the show. Also I still think that we should include that there were three series as it was her career after all. And I think you were right about the ratings, so i've added that to the actual show's page. Also, the bit with tate's films, I find that a bit messy with the bullet points. What do you think? Thanks Eagle Owl 17:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Eagle Owl

Yes they is already 1 fansite available http://ruthwilson.e-fans.net/. That is more than enough. If they is a official site you can add that. Limit entering more that 3 fansites.

[edit] Fleur Delacour

Hi, I added the grandmother back to make it clear she was only partly veela. Saying that Fleur is one-quarter veela, as you suggested, would probably be better. I removed the birth year because I was editing it anyway and figured I'd remove it because someone eventually would. Apparently, you’re not supposed to put the birth year of fictional characters in Wikipedia. There's a note on the Hermione page about it, linking to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction). It's no particular hang-up of mine though (actually, I think it's interesting), so if you put it back I won't remove it again. Ariadne55 23:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Freema Agyeman

Wikipedia policy on material about living persons states that we can't use fansites such as Freema Agyeman.com to source information. I was informed that "the Filmography and Theatre Work section... it's copied verbatim" from that very fansite. Hence, I trimmed the section to include that which was both definitely true and unlikely to be challenged.

Now, if you can find reliable sources for the roles that I removed, feel free to reinsert them, fully cited. But keep this in mind:

"Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia."

In other words, if it ain't properly sourced, it ought to go. --Mark H Wilkinson (t, c) 18:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Carey Mulligan

The reason why I broke the sections up into major credits and minor credits was because the minor credits were off West-End theatre productions without any real infomation viable about them on wikipedia or other internet sites.

I feel that if it was not on wikipedia or has been majorley recognised by other websites then it should be listed as 'minor' whereas the 'major' credits are one's that have reposted on video sharing sites, have a website/page dedicated to it self and have been widely recognised in the media both in the UK and abroad.

Yeah definitley. I think finding reliable sources would be fantastic but also it would be great if you could start up a wikipage for the plays so fans of Carey and such could find more info on the pages. User:Romance733 (t, c) 8:48, 12 October 2007 (EAS)

[edit] Spelling & Editing

I have just reverted edits of yours on Hayley Atwell and Gemma Arterton, both of which as a result of your edits included numerous structuring edit failures, removed references and added numerous spelling errors. Can I suggest you at minimum spell check your edits before submission, and start to use the preview facility to see what an article will look like before submitting the changes.

[edit] Gina McKee

Hi Amoammo. Yes I read the article. More than once in fact. It asks the question which year she was born in the opening and later it has one brief sentence stating that she was born in 1964. In the first place this could easily be a typo. It is also important to note that it does not quote her it just states it. Please don't say that we can assume she told them this because that is not something an encyclopedia can do. If she did tell this interviewer this it is necessary to note that she would not be the first person, actor or otherwise, to hedge on their age. But, as with the last sentence we cannot assume that this is what is happening. After reading it a third time, as I stated in my edit summary, I checked on Google and found that there are many more hits showing the 1961 birth year, including several that are more authoratative than this interview. Unfortunately the internet is full of alledged interviews that never occurred. Though again we can not assume that in this situation.

The example that I gave in my edit summary is this. Numerous interviews with Helen Mirren state that she was born in Leigh-on-Sea which is many miles east of London. IMDb had it listed as Chiswick which is in west London. For a year or so when editors changed her page to read Chiswick I reverted it based on these interviews, some of which could be accessed from the web. Then an enterprising wikipedian looked up her birth certificate and found that she had been born in a hospital in Chiswick.

I do not believe that we have any conclusive, verifiable evidence that we can rely on to state one date over the other, which is why I have tried to allow for both dates in the opening paragraph of her page. I am also going to post some of this message on her talk page in the hopes that another editor may track down the correct info and be able to settle the situation. Also, I believe in Wikipedia's reliance on consensus. If this situation bothers you please feel free to post any of this on the talk area for the WP:BLP and I will be happy to go along with what the consensus of the members of that project.

[edit] Unsourced categories

Please do not add categories that are not confirmed with a citation in the article, as you did to Thandie Newton. Ward3001 (talk) 18:24, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Likewise, I see no Shakespearean roles in Sheridan Smith and have removed that category. --Rodhullandemu 00:39, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
