Talk:Kathy Kirby

message: I know there is argy-bargy between the creators of the two official websites, one by Mediaworld (.co.uk)and one by Odeon Entertainment (.me.uk), as well as a third authorised site (.org.uk). But why not include all of them rather than none?138.37.27.9 (talk) 12:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Official websites

message: this entire article has come from elsewhere.  See revision history.  It has been reverted and listed correctly with the relevant wikipedia pages.  This is not only poor practice it is outside wikipedia ethics.  I'm not a fan, particularly, so I am not going to create the page by researching it properly, but I do not like to see copyvio, esp since googling Kathy Kirby showed Wikipedia and answers.about.com very close to each other
Apoliogies to Kathy's fans, but a real article would be appropriate, especially with a neutral POV and decent sections.  I'm about to add a stub notice to it to attract editors

replies: text: Erm, no.  answers.com is a wikipedia mirror site.  What you are seeing on that page is not copyrighted material that this article has lifted: What you are seeing on that page is this article. FiggyBee 08:31, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Revert 

message: We have an anonymous editor who keeps removing the tag which says the page needs sections.  I contend that the page does need sections.  I put the tag there for that reason, simply because I found it was not wholly easy to follow.  This singer has an interesting life.  The article would benefit from a more expert editor compiling the remainder, and would certainly benefit from sections.
Equally, a plea for sections neither adds to nor detracts from the content of the article, and it strikes me that our anonymous editor might do well to argue the case against the tag instead of perpetually removing it.
Accordingly I am reverting the page to re-add the tag requesting sections.

replies: text: Please do not use rudeness.  If you don't think the article needs sections, which really is a wikipedia convention, why don't you give reasons?  At present I see nothing to justify what you are doing.  Wikipedia is better for multiple editors who work together.  It also has conventions that you sign comments on the talk page.

thread_title:  Sections 

message: I have toned down some of the (very excessive) advertisements inserted by Mediaworld into this article. Wikipedia is not an advertising space, and who this person uses as a media agent is (as far as I understand it) entirely irrelevant to an article about her. I have also removed an external link to their website, which at first glance has no content about her whatsoever, apart from a link to her official site (which already has a link). - Mark 07:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted them. If they find that fan site offensive, then they should explain here in what way it is offensive. A cursory glance by me over that site reveals nothing. - Mark 11:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mediaworld and this article 

message: Is IMDB's 1940 correct?  Recent press articles say she is 69, 70 in October, which makes her birth year 1938. 138.37.16.171 (talk) 16:38, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birth year 

message: Is it possible it's Catherine E. O'Rourke? There are no citations in the article for her real name, and I found the above name via a search here http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl where this person's birth is listed as in Romford - that must have been the official district for Ilford?

thread_title:  Real Name 

message: I have today restored some biographical information that was removed recently about her personal life, relationships, health and homes.  This can not have been removed for propriety because some of the more startling aspects of her life were left intact.  All the deleted information was sourced and referenced, except the reference to the 2005 recording with Mitch Winehouse which, although an amusing idea, was not true (although it was quoted as fact in some tribute articles following her death!)

thread_title:  Edits after her death 

message: I've changed #3 to #4 as the official chart position for this single as shown by the official chart archives at http://www.officialcharts.com/artist/10793/kathy-kirby/ Maybe it peaked at 3 on other charts but 4 is its peak on the official UK singles chart Vauxhall1964 (talk) 11:35, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Detailed list of TV show episodes 

message: Shortly before her death, Kirby moved to Brinsworth House in Twickenham at the insistence of her niece Sarah, Lady Thatcher, wife of Mark Thatcher.
:It would be appropriate if we could trace the family connection (suitably cited), as Sarah-Jane Russell moved in the highest circles, (although not born of the Ducal family). Valetude (talk) 00:41, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
