For whatever reason, Anonymous User:195.50.93.237 put links into the name of Glynis Johns in her article resulting in it appearing as bolding. In other articles they used the standard triple ( ' ) to do this which I had reversed so they came to this article and changed tactics. Also, in the Laurence Harvey aricle they deliberately changed the IMDb link so that it would not work. Ted Wilkes — Preceding undated comment added 15:53, 30 June 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This article says Stratford Johns was her uncle. The Stratford Johns page says she was not. Can this be verified and fixed?Largo196510:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a request for verification. If none is given then the claim can be removed in a while. Personally I;ve never heard that they were related -- SteveCrook16:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Surely the article is wrong in claiming she was one of the gamblers in Casino Royale? This is either a mistake by some Bondian geek, or some idiot attempting mischief. She is retired, and presently living in California. Dolmance (talk) 04:32, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Is Glynis Welsh? She was born in South Africa to Welsh parents. But where did she grow up? How much time did she spend in Wales? Are there any articles where she comments on this or would it be better to identify her as British? -- SteveCrook (talk) 07:43, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's pretty outrageous that Johns was not awarded a damehood, and long before now at that, especially considering some of those so "honored": Vivienne Westwood, Gail Ronson, Harriet Walter, Paula Rego, Joan Bakewell, and of course, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf (who belonged to the Nazi Party in Germany).

According to two of her marriage records [1], [2], Glynis has the two middle initials of M and P, but I can't find out anywhere what they stand for. Maybe Maude Payne after her mother? Who knows? Crisso (talk) 01:40, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Glynis Johns was married to Anthony Forwood, but Forwood was not Dirk Bogarde's son, and Johns was therefore not Bogarde's daughter-in-law. Forwood became Dirk Bogarde's longtime housemate and was widely understood to be Bogarde's lover, though Bogarde publicly denied this. At any rate, I've removed the incorrect information regarding Johns and Bogarde.Gcampbel (talk) 13:37, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would not recognise her from the 1952 image now in the infobox. Other photos in the article show a much more recognisable image. Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:41, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Performing maintenance on section. There is no value in the IDBD link.
Some things just grow during incremental edits and sometimes get out of hand. The "External links" section, one of the optional appendices, had grown to 7 entries. Three seems to be an acceptable number and of course, everyone has their favorite to try to add for a forth.
The problem is that none is needed for article promotion.
ELpoints #3) states: Links in the "External links" section should be kept to a minimum. A lack of external links or a small number of external links is not a reason to add external links.
LINKFARM states: There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to the external links section of an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, for example, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate.
ELCITE: Do not use {{cite web}} or other citation templates in the External links section. Citation templates are permitted in the Further reading section.
External links This page in a nutshell: External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article. With rare exceptions, external links should not be used in the body of an article.
Second paragraph, acceptable external links include those that contain further research that is accurate and on-topic, information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as copyright or amount of detail, or other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article for reasons unrelated to its accuracy.
