Untitled[edit]

This person is the editor of a major international publication, from a major newspaper group. She is also a member of the national executive of the Green Party of England and Wales. Jim Jay (talk) 20:29, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Could Matthew1Butcher and Hazhk please explain why they felt it appropriate to delete the information on election controversies from this page? Please discuss the issue here to see if we can resolve.--Teacross (talk) 09:58, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Little Green Rosetta[edit]

Could Little Green Rosetta justify the removal of content please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.105.234.1 (talk) 13:41, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a biography, not a place to discuss the subjects positions in a manner that unbalances the article. little green rosetta(talk)

Ms Bennett's Birthday?[edit]

Very confusing here. On the main paragraph, the article claims her birthday is 10th February. However, under personal details, it is listed as 2nd October of the same year (1966). Does anyone have any sources dictating which is correct? Johnxsmith (talk) 19:16, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Her early feminism[edit]

Citation was needed for the claim that she was a feminist as a young child. Here's a link where she says something in the ballpark: http://www.feministtimes.com/natalie-bennett-feminism-is/ 80.41.224.163 (talk) 14:01, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
apologies, tried to add the link but have put it the wrong way round, maybe some kind person who can do links can correct for me? Thanx Veryscarymary (talk) 20:29, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've formatted it as a basic reference. See Wikipedia:Inline citation: the basic code is <ref>[http://whatevertheURLis Title of the Page]</ref>. — Bilorv_(talk)^(c) 20:36, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding passage: "Bennett \{\{has\}\} considered herself a feminist since she was a young child, claiming that it was her "first politics"" and this citation, supposedly supporting present perfect tense use: "That’s why I’m a feminist, why I’m a trustee of the Fawcett Society, and proud to say that feminism was my first politics." -- http://www.feministtimes.com/natalie-bennett-feminism-is/#sthash.IO26IXoL.dpuf ...

Present perfect is not the correct tense as there in no recent information cited about Natalie Bennett's current opinions on feminism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.180.10.111 (talk) 18:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How about the "That's why I'm a feminist" that you have just quoted? Or did she cease to be a feminist last Tuesday? Rothorpe (talk) 18:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The article was written two years ago. It is in no way present information. Nothing you have said presents any justification for your position. (talk) 18:03, 6 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The top bit it all messed up[edit]

[Edit Fixed since I posted this! there was loads of brackets and random words everywhere] I don't really know enough about wikipedia to fix it, but the formatting of the top bit is all messed up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyvonban (talk • contribs) 17:41, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Monkeyvonban:, which top bit looks messed up to you? I've looked and I can't notice anything wrong with the introduction or the infobox. Perhaps it has been fixed since you lasted looked? Also, where you looking at the page on a mobile/cell phone or a computer? Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 19:50, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Naftali Bennett[edit]

Do people really confuse Natalie Bennett with Israeli politician Naftali Bennett? This seems rather implausible. Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 15:35, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

British Citizenship[edit]

Natalie Bennett was presumably an Australian citizen who became British. Does anyone know when this happened and how she became a British citizen? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.148.102.134 (talk) 13:07, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably she would have been naturalised in the regular manner. That she's a British citizen seems fairly beyond doubt, see here, here etc. — Cliftonian (talk) 18:50, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Says here: "Bennett left Australia in the mid-1990s and says she became a British citizen 'in about 2004'." Hope that helps. Cheers, — Cliftonian (talk) 18:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Natalie Bennett[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Natalie Bennett's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "results":

From 2006 Camden London Borough Council election: "Local election results 4 May 2006". Camden Council. Archived from the original on 27 September 2011. Retrieved 3 September 2011.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:05, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
