Baroness

As the wife of a baron, she is correctly referred to as 'Lady Haden-Guest', 'The Lady Haden-Guest', or 'The Rt Hon The Lady Haden-Guest'. (no first name is used). The place name 'of Saling, co. Essex' is not part of the title, it's just meant to clarify the place associated with the title. Not that I suspect she'd care, but Baroness, Lady Haden-Guest is redundant. Someone else — Preceding undated comment added 05:36, 5 October 2002‎ (UTC)[reply]

She is not a baroness, as the wives of English barons do not automatically become baronesses, unless they hold a barony in their own right. She does have the right to the courtesy title of "Lady", however. Mmyers1976 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:26, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

As an American citizen, she cannot hold a title. 50.166.192.110 (talk) 23:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not so, see the discussion under "Name?", above. TJRC (talk) 23:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where that "Name?" section is, now ... ("after" Archiving)

It has been moved to Talk:Jamie_Lee_Curtis/Archive_1#Name.3F ... due to some "Archiving" that apparently occurred, some time before today, but after "12 May 2015 (UTC)". For now, one could just click on the hyperlink given here; ... but -- just as an aside -- the word 'above' -- (as in, 'Not so, see the discussion under "Name?", above.') -- is now misleading, at best! [or, maybe worse ... maybe it is now false and misleading!] ... since the comment from TJRC [23:32, 12 May 2015 (UTC)] has not been archived, so ... it is still here; while the actual "Name?" section -- which "used to" be << "above" >>, has now been moved to some final resting place, in an archive ...somewhere in ~~cyberspace^H^H^H~~ "Talk:" space.[reply]

I hope that helps.

"side" Comment (about problems resulting from "Archiving" practices)

I would like to discuss whether the current "customary" use of such "Archiving" [see above] practices or policies tends to create -- at least for a frozen "old" comment, that points to (or "refers" to) (or "talks" about) a certain section of a "Talk:" page that has now been locked away in a "retirement home" -- problems that are analogous to ... a dead link kind of situation; that is, like the problem "explained" in the paragraph "above" that starts out with << "It has been moved" >>. I think that our current "Archiving" practices or policies may have a tendency to create such problems, ... regardless of how "well behaved" the external (non-"Wikipedia") parts of the web might be ... or might become in the "future".

Maybe this is not the [best] place to discuss that topic; but if so, then ... is there some other place, that would be better? (where?) --Mike Schwartz (talk) 04:34, 28 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Lee Curtis rumors

Could somebody please delete the statement that Jamie Lee Curtis may be intersex according to Snopes? ^[1] This is the link to the Snopes article which states near the bottom: "The existence of such medical conditions is not reason in itself to suppose that Jamie Lee Curtis has any of them." It also states that Jamie Lee Curtis has never stated this was a fact, and that she was named BEFORE she was born. The entire Snopes article, in summary, dismisses this as an Internet rumor, but Wikipedia is citing Snopes as saying it is fact. Please read the entire article, instead of just the highlighted rumors at the top of the Snopes article that the article was addressing. Hopefully, you will agree, that Wikipedia is not the place to list every Internet rumor about living people. 2601:245:C100:F500:DC85:D334:28EE:3B1A (talk) 22:47, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think you were misreading what the Wikipedia article said. At the time of your comment, the Wikipedia article said "A persistent rumor has been circulated that Curtis was born intersex, but neither Curtis nor her family or doctors have ever commented publicly about it, and the rumor remains completely unsubstantiated." That is exactly what you are saying is the case. It did not say the rumor has any basis in reality. The article was not "saying it is fact". The phrase "completely unsubstantiated" means there is no evidence that the rumor is true. The Wikipedia article also said nothing about her name. —BarrelProof (talk) 23:12, 3 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Read WP:BLP. This garbage has repeatedly been excluded from the article and discussed as nauseam on the talk page and at BLPN. Persisting in adding it back against consensus and against policy is only likely to end with your editing privileges restricted. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by many administrators since 2006. (talk) 21:20, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the prior discussion was deleted from the Talk page. I would also like to point out that it was not me that added that material to the article. However, I personally don't see why something reported by Snopes and other sources can't be mentioned in the article or discussed on the Talk page. I also found a very brief discussion of 11 years ago at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive3 (one comment with one reply). To me that's not much, and those comments seem unclear relative to the recent article content. I haven't yet reviewed the prior deleted Talk page discussions. I'll study those before further action. —BarrelProof (talk) 21:52, 4 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birth date needs citation

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jamie Lee Curtis. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Otherwise it has to be removed as a BLP vio.
