Reversion of addition
editI have explained the situation to the editor on their talk page. Happy‑melon 11:11, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Promotional tone, extraneous detail
editHere is an example of the promotional tone and extraneous detail that single-purpose account Gemmamerritt has been inserting. David appeared in a two-part episode of cast Castle. Fine: An actress makes a guest appearance on a show's two-part episode, it seems worth mentioning. But not this:
As stated by Examiner, the ratings for this episode took a huge leap and won the time slot with 9.6 million viewers. It also claimed the title of the most watched drama overall on a Monday night. David also appeared in the second episode of this two-part storyline, on February 25, 2013, in the USA.[1] The fifth season of Castle is due to begin airing in the UK on March 20, 2013.[2]
I could give many, many more examples, which already are visible in the diffs. --Tenebrae (talk)
Conflict of interest
editI've placed a COI tag regarding User:Gemmamerritt, who appears to be a publicist who has made virtually no edits except to this and similar singer's article. A year's gone by, and that editor is still at it, shamelessly.--Tenebrae (talk) 03:02, 5 May 2014 (UTC)
- Is the COI tag still appropriate? There doesn't seem to be anything overly promotional about the tone of the article as it now stands, I don't see any WP:BLP red flags, there's no "Isn't she wonderful?" language and it has sources up the wazoo. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 23:48, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
- @Gemmamerritt:. So you're aware, in cases where indisputably RS sources say different things, we include both. See Mariah Carey, Lil' Kim, Arsenio Hall and others. I've adjusted the lead here appropriately. --Tenebrae (talk) 22:05, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
Origin
editSeems there has been some disagreement on labeling her origin in the lead. Would it be sufficient to list her as an "Indian-Canadian-British" actress?

Date of birth
editAs there's an edit war I figured now would be a great time to come here,
The ELLE source makes no mention of either years ?..... Her age is on there but that's it,
If it's a case that Karen is an editor in disguise then we can still remove the DOB as per BLPPRIVACY ... just throwing that out there. –Davey2010Talk 23:51, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
How would she go about confirming this so that the birth year can be removed once and for all? 2.220.97.46 (talk) 22:14, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
Source for her British citizenship? And how come it says in the opening paragraph that she is Canadian?
edit- Yet she isn't listed as Canadian in the categories, but she does as a British person who resided in England?
- Perhaps someone got confused because of her residence in British Columbia (Canada)?
- And if she is married to a Swedish-born musician who lives in the USA, is she eligible for a citizenship from either of these? 79.178.82.124 (talk) 03:28, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
