Talk:Judi Dench

message: With regard to "Mrs. Brown" vs "Her Majesty Mrs. Brown"
The casette cover has "Her Majesty Mrs. Brown" (in Australia at any rate).
:http://www.imdb.com lists it as Mrs. Brown, AKA Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown or Mrs Brown (w/o period).
I'll conceed the point then.
I think the original (British) title was Mrs. Brown and it was retitled Her Majesty, Mrs. Brown for the US. c/f The Madness of George III. DJ Clayworth 20:43, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this really the best picture we can come up with? Surely something a little more representitive of her than Bond? DJ Clayworth 20:44, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

It seems to me there are two copies of the same picture with the same caption on the page. Is this intended or what? If not, somebody might want to remove one of them. - green_meklar 20:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've changed "In her native country" to "In Britain", as I felt the original phrasing had a fairly blatant US-centric tinge to it as well as being somewhat clumsy. AdorableRuffian 00:14, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Britain 

message: Apologies to the fan who wrote that she is regarded as "the greatest actress of the post-war period" : that is pure POV (please see Wikipedia's pointers on opinion and fact) and as such I have amended it. I admire Ms Dench greatly but she must surely share those giddy heights with Helen Mirren, Miranda Richardson, Fiona Shaw etc? Who our greatest post-war actress is is an incalculable, a matter of conjecture. I could possibly allow something along the lines of "...alongside Dame Maggie Smith, she is seen as one of our finest actresses..." What say you, Good Wikipedians? Polite comments please

replies: text: While i don't have any problems with leaving the article to include your edit, I don't think it's too incongruous to say that when immeadiatley followed by the information on the polls which she has toppped. Plus i'm not sure it is strictly POV to say that - isn't POV where you say "Dench is brilliant" unequivocally? Writing about how someone/ something is percieved is an important part of wikipedia, isn't it? Amo 05:26, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whether she's the greatest or not is completely POV.  There is no yardstick that can "prove" this, it's simply what some people believe (and other's disagree with).  It is certainly true that many people regard her as the greatest, but I suspect many of them either have short memories, or weren't even alive when many other great actresses were working in the post-war period.

text: Confused - did you add "probably" (am i being stupid, i can't see when). As i said before, i was perfectly happy with the phrasing and saw/see no reason to change it. I still think there is plenty clarification for what is there, but continue to agree that opinions are subjective (while personally disagreeing with the idea that a skill for acting might make someone godlike! :) Amo 00:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Greatest Actress of the post-war period 

message: I'm certain she wasn't made a DBE in 1988, as the article currently says.  Assuming a typo, I've changed it to 1998, but it would be nice if we could find a ref showing the actual year and whether it was New Years Day or Queen's Birthday Honours.  JackofOz 01:36, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Date of Damehood

message: It's fair enough to quote legitimate commentators who describe Dench as a "national treasure", but the way it's written in the lead, in part of the summary about her, it is making it one of the most important statements made about her. Furthermore it's been written in such a way that it appears Wikipedia is calling her a national treasure. Without context it fails WP:NPOV, but with context it would be acceptable and relevant. That she is a "national treasure" is a widely held view rather than a universally held view, and it needs to be presented as such. I'll remove it again, but I think that it could be written in the article body and placed into context.   For example, it needs to say that Dench has been described as a "national treasure" as part of the discussion about her, but it needs to be presented as an opinion expressed by relevant/noteworthy commentators rather than a statement of fact.

message: The article mentioned "At the end of 2006 Dench worked pro bono to record information announcements for Tramlink." I have been looking for a source to back up the info on the Tramlink Trivia section and have found nothing, so have removed this sentence. This source suggests it's a different female voice: http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/1407400.tramlink_celebrates_its_seventh_birthday/
If someone does come across a source please add it back and add it to the tramlink page as well.

message: Can somebody please find a lovely picture of Ms. Dench with which to replace the current one? I would, but I don't know how. She's a beautiful woman with a radiant, warm personality, and deserves to have a nice picture, representative of that, on here. I don't even mean one in which she's younger, I just mean one in which she's smiling!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.247.220 (talk) 07:07, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Judi Dench's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

thread_title: Missing reference detail

message: The article says she "joked" that she had a tattoo on her bum based on the wording of the pagesix.com source. In fact, Harvey Weinstein has revealed on the BBC chat show "The Graham Norton Show" series 16 ep 14 broadcast 16th January 2015 that she revealed the tattoo to him and others at a party at The Four Seasons Restaurant, and it says "JD loves HW". Subsequently when she and Harvey Weinstein were at the 2014 BAFTA awards where she had been nominated for Philomena, Oprah Winfrey (who had also been nominated) asked Harvey Weinstein whether the story about the tattoo was true, and Judi Dench unbuckled her "pants" (trousers in UK) and showed it! So it is no joke.
I could put this in the article, but the source cannot be independently verified unless someone has watched that show. Should it be added anyway? 85.158.45.40 (talk) 04:42, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't believe that is notable encyclopedic information, but if you want to add that the tattoo is in fact real, then it needs to be cited with a reliable source. --Lapadite (talk) 05:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I added this detail:  as the connection to the play Hamlet seemed to be particularly relevant to her, especially as she is also a descendant of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (a fact which she mentioned again on The Graham Norton Show last Friday night). Kempe seems to be a likely direct link to Shakespeare. But is was reverted with this edit summary: "Dench also visited other places whilst there - specifically the achieves which is far more relevant that some dancers at a palace etc. This was research on a tv show and not something that she did or does in the private life." I'm not sure what is meant by "some dancers at a palace etc." This seems to miss the point entirely. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:37, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
