 * Support as Sian Phillips would redirect. David Kernow 12:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support: I know several Siâns, and some can get very very tired of people dropping the circumflex. It's the twenty-first century, we can do accents. Telsa (talk) 18:15, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Support and have Sian Phillips redirect. I know a few Welsh Siâns too, all spell it with the circumflex. (Sloman 12:06, 27 June 2006 (UTC))
 * Well, no one's against and I can't imagine why anyone would be against. So does anyone know how to request assistance on getting this moved?  Because Siân Phillips has an edit history, I can't just move it myself.  garik 13:00, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You listed it on WP:RM, so we just have to wait for someone to clear the backlog; or poke an admin.Telsa (talk) 20:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend waiting; should only be a few days. Regards, David Kernow 21:43, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

pronunciation
How is the first name pronounced? Needs that universal pronuciation thingy.-- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.164.14.152 (talk • contribs).


 * Done. garik 13:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, the IPA symbols are useless for knowing how to pronounce the name. Is it Shawn? See-ahn? Shann? Shine? Shone? Or what? What sound modification does the circumflex indicate?Yeshechoden 03:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's a long "a", as in "barn". Deb 16:59, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * They're only useless if you don't know that /ː/ means the vowel is long. But I suppose we could add 'approximately "Shaan"' or some such thing. garik 19:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * "a" as in "barn" (or "pronounced "sharn") is misleading to someone speaking a rhotic dialect (one in which pre-consonantal r's are pronounced). A as in "shah" would be better.Kostaki mou (talk) 06:45, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

AGE
Phillips was born in 1933, not 1934 -- it doesn't matter what IMDb or mirror sites claim -- they are not always accurate or correct! (Not yelling - just emphasizing).

Anecdotally I can state that I have seen her birth certificate and that she was born in 1933, however I know that does not count for a hill of beans. Objectively, however, reference information from the Welsh Registry of Births (GRO Register of Births: JUN 1933 11a 1644 LLANDILOFAWR - Jane E. A. Phillips, mmn = Thomas) was provided long ago, by another editor, confirming the year of birth.

So, whoever is changing the year based on IMDb and mirror sites, please stop ignoring references. Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 17:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
