Kate Moss

If Kate Moss is to be listed then the introduction which says the set comprises actors needs to be changed.217.42.13.38 (talk) 09:48, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Sources

The nature of this list is bound to be based on gossip articles on news papers until such time as it is written up in a history book. I have now found newspaper sources for the list before I edited it:

• Holly Davidson, Sadie Frost, Rhys Ifans, Jude Law, Steven MacKintosh, Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Kate Moss, Sean Pertwee, Davinia Taylor

With the exception of Steven MacKintosh (I have deleted that link).

I have also added others who are listed in those sources as notable members. They all already had articles with the exception of "Annabelle Neilson" and "Meg Mathews". Both had article stubs written for them but both have been deleted. In the case of "Annabelle Neilson" her obituary in the NYT and other newspapers gives enough information that Neilson was notable, however for the moment I edited the redirect Annabelle Neilson that exists to this article. In the case of Meg Mathews I do not think that currently there is enough on her to warrant an article, so I have created a redirect to a paragraph about her in in her ex-husbands article.

While looking for a connection between Steven MacKintosh and Primrose Hill, I noticed that a number of unreliable sources have coped the version of this article before I edited it which started "The Primrose Hill set is a name often applied to a group of British film and television actors who achieved celebrity in the mid-1990s". As can be see from the sources I have placed in the article, this is misleading as many of the set were musicians and models etc. The popularity of Wikipedia and the ease in which its text can be legally propagated inevitably means that it is used as a source. If as in this case statements are made without a reliable source to back them up, it is very easy for false original research to be spread around the net (which is why we have WP:CHALLENGE and WP:BURDEN in the verifiability policy). -- PBS (talk) 10:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
