Year of birth

Reference - Dudesleeper · Talk 17:20, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think she is not as young as this. She was presenting CBBC in the year 2000, when I think she was older than 21.

It's normal for celebrities to sometimes add a few years onto their birthdate.

I think she's probably born in 1976 or 1977.

The Metro reference is not definitive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.53.242 (talk • contribs)

No point guessing when it's sourced (definitively or not). Until another reference states otherwise, we should go with 1979. - Dudesleeper · Talk 19:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's no real evidence for 1979. On the other hand, on Konnie Huq's page in Wikipedia, it says Angellica is 2 years younger than Konnie, so I'm changing the date to 1977. I think that certainly counts as evidence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.111.180.179 (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a reference for itself. Please leave her date of birth until there's a reliable source stating otherwise. - Dudesleeper · Talk 10:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

For a very long time, this page gave her date of birth as 1976. Then, someone mysteriously changed it to 1979; we should be suspicious of celebrities saying they're younger than they really are. Nearly all of them try to do this in order to make themselves sound less old than they really are. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.111.32.192 (talk) 21:08, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

You keep saying the same thing. There's no evidence that she was born in '76. - Dudesleeper · Talk 21:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, we'll have to agree to disagree on this. I would be extremely surprised if 1979 proves to be correct. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.111.85.119 (talk) 22:41, August 20, 2007 (UTC)

I've found a source for a different birth year: answers.com, which says she was born in 1975. That seems more realistic to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.248.104 (talk) 21:43, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Marathon

The article says she's run the Great North run with "...her PB at 1.42" I'm guessing PB means personal best, but does the 1.42 refer to how long it took her or how far she ran? It should be stated clearly anyways londonsista | ^Prod 02:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mile high club / Tabloid sources

This is not an important fact to include in a Wikipedia article, so can we please stop edit warring, and at least discuss it. Thanks :-) –anemone projectors– 15:42, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's best to avoid tabloid sources on a biography of a living person. I can see that the information being added is a self-admission but then it falls foul of our rules on self-publication and primary sources. Self-publication and primary sources are often indicative of trivial points that have no wide coverage in secondary sources. Where the information is being placed is also misleading, as I would infer from the location that the admission includes her former husband, but that does not seem to be explicit in the admission or the one poor source provided (which is behind a paywall anyway). DrKiernan (talk) 15:59, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The following statement in WP:BLP seems to be quite pertinent here.

"Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives".

The editor certainly shouldn't be edit warring in an article covered by BLP to restore content from a tabloid without discussion after it has been reverted. I see they have been reported. Sean.hoyland - talk 16:16, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
