I'm all for vandalism when its hilarious but this vanadalism is just dull and predictable. Another one for protection methinks.--RMC1989 21:03, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Stop destroying the page. This page isn't for you opinions, so comments like "OMGZZ!11 SHE ROKZ!1one!" is just stupid. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eperdermic (talk • contribs) 21:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Carole's admission that she lied about her age
It's here: [1] So we now know from the horse's mouth that it's true. Triangle e 05:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Is Carole Malone editing this page?
Somebody keeps coming on here over the last few days and editing the article to restore Carole's false, later date of birth, in addition to adding links to Carole's official website. Is this Carole Malone herself doing this? Hard to see who else would have any motivation to do this, except possibly a friend or family member. On the other hand, the only other activity of this person has been to remove text from Amanda Redman's biography, and I can't see why Malone would want to do that, unless she has some kind of problem with her.

- The IP 86.131.165.71 (talk • contribs • info • WHOIS) locates to BT, so it could be her, but it could also be a fan or someone else who wishes to add the website or who may know a different date of birth. Tra (Talk) 20:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well she publicly admitted to lying about her age after she came out of the Big Brother house and confirmed she was born in '54, not '59, so anyone reinstating the later date must be incorrect. If it is her, she must be assuming few people knew of the controversy and those that did will have forgotten by now, perhaps she thinks she can quietly begin lying about her age again. The editing of Amanda Redman's page makes me think it might not be her, but on the other hand Redman, with her relationships with 17-year old men and so on, might well be the kind of person who Malone would criticise. As you say, could be an admirer, or possibly a friend or family member as I suggested. Or it might just be a vandal or a mischievous colleague at the Mirror, out to embarass Malone (maybe they want us to think it's her?). In any case, I'm under the impression that editing one's own biography is not allowed on Wikipedia, so in case it is her, let's just see if this editor returns to make any more changes. If it is her and she's trying to comprimise the article's factual accuracy because of her own vanity then obviously that shouldn't really be tolerated. MarkB79 21:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unless perhaps the person changing the birth year to 1959 is using an older source from when she lied about her age, but before she gave the correct age, perhaps not knowing about the controversy. I think, since it's a bit unclear as to who exactly it is, it would probably be best to take the edits on their face value, and if the information added is unsourced, it can be removed, whilst neutral and verifiable information can stay, no matter who added it.
