[edit] year of Wogan appearance

The Guardian article states Harris appeared on Wogan in 1990 for the first time. Allen's documentary says 1988. 1988 feels right to me, since I remember it very well and I would have been 16 in 1988, and I'm sure I wouldn't have been 18 when I forst saw her. --bodnotbod 23:31, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)

Poor kid. This thread on UKPFC_Forum might be worth reading [1]. Morwen - Talk 23:37, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, she never really stood a chance with that family. --bodnotbod 23:59, Jun 28, 2004 (UTC)

"Eventually Lauren realised she was a transsexual." Surely it was James who realised this? Mysteronald 23:37, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] BLP dispute

There's a large amount of unreferenced material here, some of which is potentially controversial.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 03:38, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

all dodgy BLP claims gone for now :) special, random, Merkinsmum 00:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

There is nothing more controversial that Lauren herself, I'm afraid. I'm kind of annoyed the entry about her constant media lobbying and self-publicising cannot be listed. These are clear facts. She is contantly fame seeking. Is this not worthy for inclusion? Hardylane (talk) 02:00, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] age on wogan

Sme reliable sources say ten [2], others say twelve [3] so I don't know which. If the first wogan appearance was when her date of birth makes it ten or eleven, obviously that's the age she was. But I don't know. What do you all think? special, random, Merkinsmum 17:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh dear. Seems she was born in 78 but the critical question is whether she appeared on Wogan in 88 or 90, the BBC pic looks like she was 10 (IMO) but that is original research. Thanks, SqueakBox 17:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The Independent says he was 12 which would make it 1990. Thanks, SqueakBox 17:54, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] although some of the sources listed may be abstracts/starts of articles

Enough of them is shown to verify each of the facts concerned, which is why they're being used. special, random, Merkinsmum 11:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
