Upcoming additions[edit]

Just to let you guys know i'll be dramatically updated Beverley's page in the next couple of days. Ive almost completed her biography, and will be finishing off other little projects in the next day or two. Rimmers 21:15, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Gay icons[edit]

In order for this person to remain in Category:Gay icons, the article needs to mention this "fact" and cite reliable sources to support it. What's said about "Tyrone Jamison" may support this. But, we need a notable source to use the actual term to describe her. Otherwise, it's original research. --Rob 17:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

When I get around to it, I'm going to be adding a new section entitled philanthorpy which will include info about all her charitable work (and how its reflected in her lyrics). The section will make her links to the gay community explicit...I just need to get around to writing it! Rimmers 00:49, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sounds great. --Rob 00:52, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Under construction"[edit]

I've just added the UC tag to the creativity section of the article; I've been meaning to expand it for weeks now, so I'm finally getting around to it. Over the next couple of days I'll be adding a few new sub-sections - Stage personna and Lyrical inspiration.

I've been researching for another section dealing with her personal life too - which will cover religion, philanthropy, Tyrone Jaimson and a few other areas; hopefully should get that done by next weekend! Rimmers 20:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth[edit]

There is an ongoing 'editing war' regarding Beverley Knight's year of birth. I favour 22 March, 1972, but 1973 has it's fans. Anyone care to supply some hard evidence to support either, or even an alternative date ?Derek R Bullamore 23:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's 1973.

For example, here is an extract from the biog on her official site: "It’s hard to believe that Wolverhampton born Knight has been recording for over 10 years. “I’m 32 now – 33 the week the album (Voice - The Best of Beverley Knight) comes out!"

So for her to have turned 33 earlier this summer she will have been born in 1973. Rimmers 16:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

X Factor[edit]

She called Simon Cowell a "puppet master" and she'd like to give the contestants "real music advice, not TV advice". She also mentioned "I couldn’t sit next to Cheryl Cole and hear her tell someone how great they are, while I’m sat there thinking, No you’re not”

Update[edit]

"She is planning her American debut sometime in 2015." looks out of date. It's now well into 2017. —DIV (120.17.124.35 (talk) 14:41, 21 April 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Also, the "2013" and "2015–" sections/headings need to be fixed up. E.g. What happened to 2014?

Lead too long and detailed[edit]

It seems to me that the lead is too long and detailed. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section. Jontel (talk) 11:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2018 and 2019[edit]

I find it hard to believe that Beverley Knight was completely inactive during 2018 and 2019. Currently, her page has a noticeable gap between 2017 and 2020. Surely this should contain something? I don't follow Knight closely enough to fill it without a deal of research, surely someone can flesh this out? – Dyolf87 (talk) 14:05, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
