Template:WikiProject The X Factor
![]() | This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
1982?
I could have sworn she said she was 24 the other day (I'm writing this in April 2006 BTW), which, if she was born in September, would put her year of birth as 1981, not 1982.
- mmmh. I did a Google search and everything came up with her being born in 1982. However her myspace profile says that she is 24 (in the external links in the article). I think a similar thing happened with Jamie Lynn Spears and it turned out that her publicist had made a mistake (see [1]). I'm not quite sure of the solution to this. RicDod 08:41, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Her DOB on IMDb is the same as here. But yesterday, the Daily Mail Weekend claimed that she's 25, which if true would put this more than a year out. And the MySpace profile still has it down as 24. But sometimes false DOBs are published even on official sources - see Sinéad O'Carroll for instance. -- Smjg 16:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- 1981 is confirmed by the entry in the BMD. Q3 1981 Fearne Cotton, Brent (registration district), mother's maiden name Savage. --jmb 23:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Nottingham Uni Summer Party DJ Set
I watched the set and although she did swear and encourage people to "get pissed" it was well received by the crowd. The overall reaction to her set was very positive and I didn't hear any criticism as it says in the main article here."
- After I removed this information once it was put back by another user, this suggested their may be some weight behind it so I requested a citation. Your response here verifies it's nothing more than original research so it's been removed altogether. I think Fearne would seem a bit out of place doing a set in a university bar if she didn't encourage people to drink and talked as if she was presenting Top of the Pops: Reloaded. Anyway, it's now been removed again. If someone wishes to resubmit the information they must provide an official citation reference backing the alleged criticism of Fearne's behaviour. ~~ Pete 17:17, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
She's 25
According to Fearne herself, on Radio One - they were talking about her birthday. She was born 3 Sept 1981. Proto::type 06:08, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- I was listening too, I've just corrected it and removed the dubious assertion tag. ~~ Peteb16 18:29, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
- There is a birth registered for a Fearne Cotton in the Third Quarter of 1981 in Brent in the BMD Index. --jmb 02:17, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
- That makes this sentence in the article incorrect: She began her presenting career in 1998 at the age of 15 - even before she had her birthday in the year in question she would have been 16, not 15 ChrisTheDude 11:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Pic
Are you sure that you're allowed to use that pic from the Eurovision Songcontest? I wrote the Fearne Cotton-articel for de. wp. and I'm not allowed to use it. Robin90
- Image now has a non-free media rationale attached to it. It should hopefully be covered under Wikipedia's fair use policy simply because it illustrates the subject referenced (Fearne presenting the UK televoting) and no free alternative could possibly exist. ~~ Peteb16 08:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Headings
Why does this article have headings for each programme she has hosted? There is even one heading for her interviews with stars on the Oscar red carpet, with only one sentence under it, similar to several other sections with only a few sentences under these headings. They are getting out of hand here, there must be some other way of organizing this article. Eagle Owl 10:59, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
- Agreed, the career section needs re-writing so it flows properly. We don't need all these different headings for each job she's ever had. I might have a go when I've time. Kevin Judson 18:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
Pudsey tattoo
she said on jonathan ross tonight that she doesn't have a pugsey tattoo on her buttocks, it's a myth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.192.112.189 (talk • contribs)
Middle name
As quoted above, the GRO Birth Index just has her recorded as Fearne COTTON (i.e. no middle name) with mother's maiden name SAVAGE. Born Q3 1981. --jmb (talk) 09:14, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Missing photograph
Just a quick note to let you know that I have been in touch with Fearne Cotton's Agents and Management regarding obtaining a licenced photograph of her to add to her Wikipedia Article. I expect to have something back by tomorrow or wednesday at the latest. :) Thor Malmjursson (talk) 17:31, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Pregnant/John Simpson
I've removed the following line from her love life section
" After falling pregnant in 2006, the father was surprisingly revealed to be BBC foreign correspondent John Simpson"
since, i doubt this and there is no proof....john simpson's been inside a lot, but i somehow doubt he's been inside fearne cotton! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.196.111.162 (talk) 21:41, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
Fansite
Since this article has been tagged with the "fansite" complaint, I am going to work extensively on it to clean it up. Any suggestions/help/contributions/comments appreciated! Jubilee♫clipman 08:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
Have now removed the tag, having worked extensively on the article to bring it up to something like the standards of other Wiki Living Person Bios. There is still alot of verification to be done, however, along with further additions etc where appropriate. Jubilee♫clipman 17:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Additional The many references need to be verified. I have removed one that was intended to reference her tatoos, but instead spoke of her sexual prowess... interesting but not what we need! (Suspected hijacking, obviously) Jubilee♫clipman 18:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Further Fearne if you reading this, we need a piccie... pretty please!!! Jubilee♫clipman 18:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Rating and Comic Relief
Wow: B-class! Let's see if we can get to GA...! It seems there has been a lot of interest here since I've been gone. Great, especially given the attempted vandalism etc. Also it seems Fearne has gained... and lost... and MBE! Perhaps Most Beautiful Entertainer... though, why she had to lose it again so soon remains a mystery...! LOL! Keep up the good work. Oh BTW, the insert about Comic Relief read more like a publicity stunt, so I've rewritten it and put it, more logically, within her career entry. Not sure whether it ought to be there at all, actually, as it hasn't happened yet... Thoughts? Jubilee♫clipman 21:22, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Family
I've been trying to verify and reference Fearne's family, but am having some trouble with the famous names. I am finding myself in the (almost) inevitable position of returning sites quoting old versions this very Wiki page. Even Sir Bill is proving harder to verify than I expected despite the fact that the relationship is very well-known. The only relatively reliable (non-Wiki) source is a TV review site. Jim Rosenthal, worse still, is almost imposible to verify and I am beginning to doubt the authenticity of the claim. Any help much appreciated. We also need to reference some her schooling and some of her early career. Thanks. Jubilee♫clipman 00:47, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
British English!
Not sure if any one bother reading this discussion page, but please note that we spell it "programme"... I actually got told off for this, so you're not unique! Otherwise, this Wiki is looking great! Jubilee♫clipman 22:43, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I note that suggestions that Cotton is a distant relative of Axl Rose have been repeatedly added. I consider these claims to be dubious and the recent addition of an apparent source, "Cosmopolitan interview, July 2008", does little to convince me that this is genuine. It is worth considering this edit in the context of the other edits by the IPs which have added this content. The IPs include at least 82.11.99.63 (talk · contribs), 82.11.98.43 (talk · contribs), and 82.18.198.229 (talk · contribs). Looking at a few other edits by those, they include suggesting that Axl Rose has been declared "FHM 100 Sexiest Women In The World" for 2006 and 2007, an interesting use of quotation marks, changing messages from other users, and adding that Nuts is "Aimed at the pikey market". There is enough there for me to believe it is appropriate to consider the edits by this user to be vandalism. Adambro (talk) 15:31, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
