Frankel, Daniel (2011-07-23). "Singer Amy Winehouse Found Dead at Her London Flat". Reuters. Retrieved 2011-07-25. ...Winehouse's Wikipedia page has already been updated to say she died of a drug overdose -- although no one in official authority has publicly confirmed that.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single year to make it into the Top 50 Report annual list. This happened in 2011.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 2 times. The weeks in which this happened:

Media after her death

"After her death was announced, media and camera crews appeared near Winehouse's residence to pay their respects."

This is a very strange interpretation.... 2A00:23C5:6D1A:9501:97:C406:8F29:F05E (talk) 12:24, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Back to Black (2024 film)

This was released on May 17, 2024 so why is there no entry?

add Back to Black (2024)

^[1] JakcsonWolfe (talk) 19:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Back to Black is a biopic film about Winehouse, not a documentary using archival footage of her, which is the distinction. It is also mentioned already here: Amy Winehouse § Biopic.

That said, I don't see the need for a filmography section as they use archive footage, rather than her starring in them. As examples, Freddie Mercury has no section for documentaries using archival footage, such as Freddie Mercury: The Final Act. Bowie does have Moonage Daydream (film) listed but under a subsection for documentaries, the rest of which were made during his life. I am removing that section for that reason, particularly as the documentaries are mentioned in Amy Winehouse §§ Posthumous retrospectives and Documentary.

Blake’s GBH Conviction

Blake was charged with GBH With Intent, but the sourced Guardian article stated that it printed an error and that Blake admitted the lesser charge of GBH and was subsequently imprisoned for that offence and Perverting the Course of Justice. https://web.archive.org/web/20111106211405/http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jun/10/ukcrime.amywinehouse

The Wikipedia article, in the Relationships section, reads as if he pled guilty to GBH with Intent. Ryanadamsfan (talk) 21:14, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
