Page views[edit]

Date of Birth[edit]

Does anybody know Sylvia Anderson's date of birth? I couldn't find it on IMDb. Bob 15:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry. Something I just read in GA's bio suggested she was approximately 30 at the formation fo APF, but no specific date. Cain Mosni 14:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PoV edit[edit]

Removed the sentence "The book is a rather mild account of her life with Gerry and unlike his biography, avoids 'dishing the dirt' on the breakdown of their marriage". Too subjective, with hints of bias. Cain Mosni 14:40, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marriage dates[edit]

There seems to be some discrepancies in this article over whether Sylvia and Gerry were married in 1960 or 1962 and whether the marriage lasted until 1975 or 1980. The article says they were divorced after a 5-year separation, which may explain the discrepancy over the marriage end date, but then shouldn't the sidebar say (m. 1962 - 1980)?

Justification for "more citations" and "more information" notes?[edit]

An IP user has placed two notes on the article calling for more citations and more information. What is the justification for these? Every sentence in the prose section of this article has a citation. And, the article could be expanded but it doesn't lack information as such. If no convincing reason can be given these notes may be removed. MurielMary (talk) 10:35, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just simply trying to improve. --70.162.223.119 (talk) 11:36, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Always appreciated. However removing edits such as wikilinks to other pages (the link to Lady Penelope on the image) isn't useful. And removing comments on this talk page by other editors isn't ok either. MurielMary (talk) 11:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification of children[edit]

There seems to be a discrepancy in the article - it states that Anderson returned from the US with a daughter, then later on I've used one of her obituaries to state that she had two children with Gerry Anderson. So did she have three children? Or was one of the two children with Gerry Anderson actually her child from her first marriage?? MurielMary (talk) 20:11, 16 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stub class rating - very little info. Low priority - not a greatly important figure. Cain Mosni 02:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
