Middlesbrough[edit]

That picture isn't in Middlesbrough. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.98.3 (talk) 20:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Year[edit]

It currently says 1972 on here, but a month or two ago she did one of the celebrity questionnaires which appear daily in The Independent, which gave her age as 36. Can't find much else online. Crisso 17:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well I seem to remember hearing that she graduated from Warwick Uni towards the end of the 1980s so I would certainly put her nearer 40 than 36. Maybe someone who knows will come along - but she certainly isn't 34. - Stevecov 12:33, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It states on here she was born in 1966, which indeed she was as I know here sister quite well and live in Porthcawl where everyone is extremely proud of her!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.214.227 (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Family and personal life[edit]

I removed information about her family. The information was not only unattributed, but also incorrect.

But have they mentioned in any published article, like a news report? Otherwise we can't really add them. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:47, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've

Done the honorary degree mention, but

Not done the external link, per my reasoning at Talk:Dominic Cooke. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 06:43, 31 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Residence[edit]

The info box top right states that RJ lives in Ireland, which I find unlikely. Flapdragon (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Probably vandalism. I'll change it back - thanks for noticing. Ghmyrtle (talk) 15:12, 11 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong version of Emma in Filmography[edit]

I'm not confident in amending links so don't want to change it myself, but the link to the film 'Emma' in the filmography points to the wrong version. Ruth was in the 1996 adaptation with Gwyneth Paltrow, not the TV version with Kate Beckinsale.92.24.155.96 (talk) 17:32, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it. 78.144.190.46 (talk) 23:09, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Place of birth in infobox[edit]

Hi there ImprovedWikiImprovment, Template:Infobox person says very clearly: "Place of birth: city, administrative region, country." In 1966 the administrative region was Glamorgan. Why is this a "Redundant dab" exactly? Martinevans123 (talk) 18:34, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because you can convey virtually the same information without it in a succinct way, which the documentation also suggests. Secondly, cities and towns in the UK can span several counties, as Manchester, London, and Birmingham did historically (for example). Unless there are several places in Wales under that name, it is redundant to mention the county it was in at the time. --IWI (talk) 18:56, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well it looks like more, and useful, information to me. I'm pretty sure Bridgend has never "spanned several counties". There is also a Bridgend, in Ceredigion, currently a red link. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:05, 30 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
