"Occupation: Philanthropist"?!

Oh come on. She's a TV presenter. Unless someone has can tell us how many hospitals she's built or whatever, let's delete that and not trivialise the word. Flapdragon (talk) 21:07, 7 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flapdragon, I agree she is a presenter not a philanthropist.

She seems like a nice girl to me, i doubt that she is faking it, Being filmed in those conditions 24/7 it would be very hard to maintain a facade IMO and there's no reason the BBC would edit it in her favour when other members had there bad temperements shown. I'm looking forward to her new series :) --Duphin (talk) 22:02, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

POV

Unfortunately her portrayal was very discriminatory and defamatory against muslims and barely any attention was paid in exposing the inherently violent and criminal nature of the EDL. Already the programme has been criticised for protecting the EDL against exposure and subsequent criticism. Understandly, muslims yet again feel victimised and demonised by the western propaganda machine (as Dooley's conduct was deemed as manipulative, insincere and peppered with racist stereotypes). [Citation?]

The above statements are not shared by majority of the mulims in the UK. They are comletely the view of extremist millitant individuals who portray themselves as muslims! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.27.229.146 (talk) 23:18, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

not only does this lack citation, it's utterly POV through and through — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.173.64.37 (talk) 01:36, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dates don't match

The dates for the Cambodia sex trafficking episode in the description and the episode box don't match - 2010/2011. In fact the list of episodes in the two places generally don't match. 82.2.125.203 (talk) 03:28, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Have re-done Filmography box with info from BBC website - corrected some errors and provided references. Now matches text description better but still some discrepancies re air dates in 2009, which I will leave as I don't know any better. 82.2.125.203 (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Why is "protecting" in quotes?

Is there any indication that they were doing anything other than that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A440:B553:1:7527:7C20:3D4A:F519 (talk) 23:48, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?

Does anyone have a recent picture is Stacey we can upload as I’m sure we can all agree the current picture is very old and hardly looks like her anymore. What does everyone think? :) Almostangelic123 (talk) 12:18, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Journalist?

I've seen several of Stacey Dooley's programs on both Swedish¤ and foreign cable channels, and find her very amateurish and biased, with sometimes pathetic manners. But that's just one man's opinion. What's worse is that I've never found that she should be an educated journalist, and therefore she should only be called "TV presenter" or someting similar.

¤) She's presented as a "BBC journalist" here in Sweden...

Filmography moved to separate article

Should Stacey's filmography be transferred into a separate article given how many films she has now made? Rillington (talk) 14:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Rillington: I'd say it was big enough for a WP:SPLIT. However, her filmography table confuses me due to the layout that I'm unfamiliar with. I've never seen a filmography table laid out like that. – DarkGlow (✉) 15:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I also think that it should be split and if so it can be rearranged differently to make it look better, probably along similar lines to List of Louis Theroux documentaries. Rillington (talk) 12:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I note that the filmography section has been condensed and it is right that this has happened. However I think there should be a separate article listing in detail Stacey's documentaries, possibly along the same lines of how Louis Theroux's documentaries have been arranged. Rillington (talk) 14:09, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First name

She is being reported as being born Anastasia Jaclyn Dooley, which appears to stem from this interview by Kevin Clifton in 2018 when it was included as a throwaway comment: https://www.grimsbytelegraph.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/kevin-clifton-rock-of-ages-2445121. Other entertainment sources seem to have reproduced this without any checking. Fences&Windows 14:02, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. Her birth certificate states Stacey Jaclyn Dooley.--OZZY19455 (talk) 19:22, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
