Talk:Christine Keeler

message: Laleham is near Wraysbury but it does not have (and as far as I know, never has had) an Air Force Base. Searching for Laleham Air Force Base only brings up articles relating to Christine Keeler. Where did this start and does the editor who added it have a verifiable source?

message: There was an US Airforce base at Laleham?? I suspect this was Lakenheath but can find no WP:RS for it. I see that the question was asked above, back in 2009, but was never answered. Does the source given (Knightley and Kennedy, pp. 53–54), actually support this claim? I have trimmed out the name for now. Martinevans123 (talk) 23:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems that p.54 of that book does support? Also appears here. Langley Air Force Base is in America, of course. But there was an airfield (not a "US Airbase") at Langley, Berkshire so it was probably that one (although what African-American Sergeant "Jim" was doing there in 1958 is anyone's guess)?

replies: text: p.s. Knightley and Kennedy also tell us that Keeler had tried to abort her pregnancy herself, using a knitting needle. Perhaps this harrowing detail is best left out? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:36, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

message: Hello User:Martinevans123! Thanks for your comment re the Christine Keeler caption and apologies for not making myself sufficiently clear. Might I explain? I was responsible for uploading the image and it is indeed from a Channel 4 edition of After Dark. However the possessive ("Channel 4's After Dark) is not strictly accurate: a quick look at the article about this programme shows that during its history it was transmitted by two (indeed rival) broadcasters. It was this which led to my reversion.
Strictly speaking, if the programme is "anyone's", it belongs (as per the copyright of the image) to the production company Open Media - but not only would using this have a certain promotional flavour, it is not an edit I would be comfortable with making (see my Talk page for why). 
Hope that helps. Copying this to your Talk page as I am not sure where the comment belongs best. AnOpenMedium (talk) 15:08, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No worries, AnOpenMedium. The caption "television discussion" is not wrong, of course, although it's strictly "television discussion programme" or "television topical issues programme", or whatever. I also considered using "Open Media", but did not for the same reasons you suggest. My only point is that on 4 June 1988 the programme did "belong to" Channel 4 and, as far as know, that episode has never been broadcast by the BBC. But please feel free to revert to your version if you think that's better. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:00, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: All clear, many thanks. I've just tried simplifying while providing (a bit) more information. Maybe this is a good solution! AnOpenMedium (talk) 17:16, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, fully agree. Simpler is usually better. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Picture caption 

message: Good morning, I'm not sure if this has been discussed previously, but I have been re-reading my copy of Truth At Last and on page 12 I noticed Christine states her date of birth as 2 February 1942, not 22 as generally publicised. I'm wondering if this may be simply a typo, and if anyone else has a copy which gives the same date, or if 22 February has been fully corroborated by a sight of Christine's birth certificate. Many thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Roandy (talk • contribs) 11:01, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Surprising that her date of birth seems to be wholly unsourced in this article. But there are very many sources that say 22 February, such as BBC, The Guardian, Britannica, Independent, etc., etc. A misprint in the book seems likely. Martinevans123 (talk) 12:06, 1 February 2020 (UTC)
