Talk:Amanda Holden

message: Seriously? She has no tattoos on her arms is worthy of inclusion? You'd better start putting that snippet on thousands upon thousands of other bios. Bizarre!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.10.129.138 (talk) 18:55, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

message: I was reading FHM's 100 Sexiest Women (or something similar) in 2000, and I remember it saying that she got them out in some show.  I think it would be worth mentioning which one it was.  Also, the article says she lives in "Richmond, Surrey".  Richmond-upon-Thames is a London borough, despite what the Post Office says. :) 37.130.224.202 (talk) 03:28, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Reverted several unsourced edits this evening regarding claims she is writing her autobiography with "esteemed" Irish writer Kenneth D. Dolan (see this) for an example. Googling for "Amanda Holden Kenneth D. Dolan" produces nothing to support the claims. There was also some nonesense date of birth changes. Just thought I should mention it here for future reference.

replies: text: Maybe that was me, but I don't recall if it was now. I tend to revert spurious stuff on this page from time to time, usually if it's unsourced or violates WP:NEUTRAL or whatever. Comments on her acting technique should only be included if they've appeared in reliable sources. It's ok if a reviewer has made some comment on a role she's played or something along those lines, but for someone to just add their own opinion about her isn't helpful, and that sort of thing would be removed. What exactly did you add? I might be able to tell you whether it's ok ro include it or not. TheRetroGuy (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

message: What exactly did Amanda Holden do in this film? She does not appear and it is not clear that she voiced any of the characters. There is no reference to her on the otherwise compendious IMDB cast page. 
However her contribution to the film is all over the internet, including her role as Pudsey's "dog pal Sally", who so far as I can tell does not appear either (watched the film last night).
I will remove the reference pending more information. Testbed (talk) 05:21, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

message: This idiotic menace to society needs a "Criticism" section to document the lies and conspiracy theories and scaremongering she's willfully spreading during this time of Coronavirus crisis, which has resulted in people threatening telecom engineers, arson attacks on critical infrastructure (that's TERRORISM), and endangering people's lives.

Broadband engineers threatened due to 5G coronavirus conspiracies
EE suspects telephone mast engulfed by fire in Birmingham was an arson attack as celebrities claim Covid-19 caused by new network
Telecoms engineers are facing verbal and physical threats during the lockdown, as baseless conspiracy theories linking coronavirus to the roll-out of 5G technology spread by celebrities such as Amanda Holden prompt members of the public to abuse those maintaining vital mobile phone and broadband networks.
Facebook has removed one anti-5G group in which users were being encouraged to supply footage of them destroying mobile phone equipment, with some contributors seemingly under the pretence that it may stop the spread of coronavirus and some running leaderboards of where equipment had been targeted.
Video footage of a 70ft (20 metre) telephone mast on fire in Birmingham this week has also circulated widely alongside claims it was targeted by anti-5G protesters. Network operator EE told the Guardian that its engineers were still on site assessing the cause of the fire but it “looks likely at this time” that it was an arson attack.
The company said it would be working with the police to find the culprits. It said: “To deliberately take away mobile connectivity at a time when people need it more than ever to stay connected to each other, is a reckless, harmful and dangerous thing to do. We will try to restore full coverage as quickly as possible, but the damage caused by the fire is significant.”
[...] Social media posts from celebrities such as singer Anne Marie have helped spread the theory, while Holden, a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, shared a link to a popular Change.org petition promoting the rumour that the symptoms of coronavirus are in reality due to residing near a 5G mast. The petition was subsequently removed following inquiries from the Guardian.

Amanda Holden slated for 'scaremongering' amid 'disrespectful' coronavirus claim
Amanda Holden tweeted and quickly deleted a link to a petition calling for 5G to stay out of the country, claiming that the network would take oxygen out of the air and change DNA  
Britain's Got Talent babe Amanda Holden has been slammed by her Twitter followers and other users after she shared a link to a Change.Org petition, calling for the government to keep 5G out of the UK.
The 49-year-old trended on Twitter on Friday after her tweet, with people accusing her of being "disrespectful" and "scaremongering" her followers.
The tweet, which was quickly deleted, read: "The government: No to 5G! Sign the petition!"
The petition reportedly claimed that the new 5G network is causing the coronavirus, would strip the air of oxygen and also change DNA.
However the petition has since been deleted.

replies: text: , the reason I cited WP:CHILDPROTECT is because I removed the full dates of birth of non-notable minor children. I also mentioned what I was doing with the 5G section.

message: The info box states 3, yet it appears, from both external pictures and the description in this article, that she arguably has just two - the two daughters.
Perhaps I'm touching upon a sensitive subject here, but the only other mention of a child I'm aware of is the miscarriage. Is that being counted as the third child? If so is that to be considered correct? Personally, without meaning any offense to this particular family nor any other who has suffered such a tragedy, in my mind that doesn't count, or at least doing so creates confusion. I mean personally I was aware of the two daughters and then got confused by the page saying 3, and went off on a search to figure out who the 3rd was.
If you google "how many children does amanda holden have" the answer 2 pops up, and scrolling through the results, "two", "two", "two"...
I think it is reasonable to change the info box to say 2 to avoid confusion. 92.11.254.123 (talk) 11:45, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
