Family puff[edit]

I have removed details of her children - which looked like it had been added by them and puff for her shop - which again looked family added. Brookie :) - a will o' the wisp ! (Whisper...) 06:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cleavage?[edit]

I am bemused by the "generous proportion of cleavage on display" during Tiswas. That is not my recollection as an avid viewer at the time and neither does it seem to be borne out by still photographs. Surely Ms James was renouned at the time for her shapely legs in short skirts and hotpants, she was never particularly busty. 21st CENTURY GREENSTUFF 16:23, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the statement as it had been tagged since last year as citation needed. Although the rest of the article is a bit thin on references as well. MilborneOne (talk) 19:07, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Avoid starting every paragraph with "In [year]".
  • "she was the music editor, and was a member of" → "she was a member and music editor of"
  • I've re-organised the lead slightly, to take the music editor role up into the first para. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dr NoDr. No
  • "Jo Mercer, woman" → "Jo Mercer, a woman"
  • Remove the comma after "converted houses".
  • Remove the comma after "in 1980".
  • Remove the comma after "as children".
  • Make the tables sortable.
  • Add "!scope=row" for every film/tv title.
  • Sort each role by last name.
  • Sort titles (The Wind Blew Her Away should sort as Wind Blew Her Away, The)
  • Finally, center references.
The scope rows need a bit of work. See Francesca Gonshaw#Credits as a good example. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 02:11, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Hopefully OK now, Some Dude From North Carolina. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • #Discography is largely unsourced.
  • Removed unsourced entries. (After failing to find reliable sources.) BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • #Bibliography is kinda short so maybe merge it into #Career.
  • Deleted section as book is already mentioned in the body of the article. BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Properly cite sources.
