Website Warning
Why does a flash website need a warning verging on pov? It also seems rather un-encyclopedic. Yet my attempt to remove this was slapped down by the admin who added it. 62.49.2.35 01:22, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * We generally do not permit adding links to sites that require proprietary browser plugins such as flash that do not work for many viewers. In this case, the site is justifiable because it is official, but we still warn so that people know it may not work for them.  --Yamla 01:34, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * This does seem like a pretty mental policy considering the proliferation of Flash across the internet. Surely that means thousands upon thousands of Wikipedia links should require the same warning? --62.49.2.35 12:26, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Ethnicity?
Why does it keep changing? When I first visited this page it used to be Indian/English father and English/Irish mother, then it was Indian father and Irish mother, then it was Indian/English father and Irish mother... so what is it?

The reference link to confirm the info is dead, so I read it using the Internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20020209055447/http://www.cubeit.com/ctimes/news0077i.htm

FHM: Where does the name Mitra come from?

Mitra: It's Indian - my dad is from Calcutta. But I'm also part Irish. It's a confusing heritage. I never know if I want to be running across the fields with no clothes on or sitting in the pub drinking Guinness.

Where I come from (the Indian Ocean), your "heritage" would be quite commonplace. I would categorize you as "British-Indian" and call it a quit.Mitch1981 (talk) 20:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * "British Indian" refers to Indians from the UK;. Rhona is mixed. And what's with the quotes around "heritage"? It's not something imaginary lol. AyanP (talk) 05:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)Ayan

Actually, technically, Mitra is an Old Persian name. There is some shared heritage due to the Aryan-Iranians who had invaded Northern India centuries ago. Northern India has a lot of that heritage left.--CreativeSoul7981 (talk) 18:47, 18 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Actually, no... Mitra is not a Persian name and I have never heard of any Persians with it so I don't know where you got that from. Mitra is a Bengali Hindu name and also, Bengal is not a part of Northern India; it's part of Eastern India (and Bangladesh). Lastly, there were no "Aryan-Iranians who invaded Northern India centuries ago"; "Aryan" people settled in Northern India (and Pakistan) thousands of years ago. Please gets your facts straight.

Discography?
This entry has sections for albums and singles for Rhona Mitra, but there is no mention in the biography anywhere of her being a singer. Which of these is the oversight? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.239.33.148 (talk) 04:38, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

That's mentionned into the first reference (6th paragraph) : "They had me write songs for her in character and record an album." though I'd agree it's not very clear on the page right now. --DrDems (talk) 15:37, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Career
There are a couple of sentences in the "Career" section that contain strange wording, I would edit them but it's not at all clear what the author meant by them.

The first sentence in the section reads, "Mitra showed herself to the wider audiences playing the romantic interest of Christopher Lambert in Beowulf." Is this supposed to mean that this was a larger audience than she previously had in other productions? If so, it's a strange way to begin a discussion on her career, since there are no references to her earlier career-- so what is the audience "wider" in comparison to? At any rate, regardless of the meaning, the syntax is awkward.

The last sentence in the "Career" section says, "She stars in the 2010 Anders Anderson thriller film Stolen, on the side from Josh Lucas and Jon Hamm". Presumably that should read, "alongside Josh Lucas...". I may edit it to read that way. R0nin Two (talk) 20:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

She's been credited acting for the 2010 movie "Stolen" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.235.220.24 (talk) 23:52, 21 July 2010 (UTC)
