Referencing[edit]

The one thing I find in common among the actors and musicians listed as being from Richmond is that none of the Wikipedia pages for the most famous seem to contain this information. The list appears unsubstantiated by footnotes (save one). Is this a fantasy piece, or did actors perhaps reside in this area for a few days while performing at nearby Twickenham? Brad Pitt? Kylie Minogue? Mick Jagger? Jnmwiki (talk) 20:35, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jerry Hall is a well known local resident – see http://surrey.greatbritishlife.co.uk/article/jerry-hall-on-life-in-richmond-and-her-love-affair-with-kingstons-rose-theatre-16650/ She lives in the house on Richmond Hill that she used to share with Mick Jagger. Headhitter (talk) 10:06, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've now referenced Jerry Hall's entry on the list. I agree that we ought to strive to add references or footnotes for the other names on the list too. Headhitter (talk) 10:15, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for improving the list. Jnmwiki (talk) 22:23, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Headhitter (talk) 22:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

List has been reorganised[edit]

The list is now in two parts – Living people and historical figures. I've managed to cite references for almost all the entries, except for some of the living "Actors, entertainers and musicians". Where there are citations on the web they seem to be about celebrity spotting in Richmond restaurants, which of course doesn't count. On that basis I've deleted Andi Peters. And although Hugh McIlvanney, sports writer, wrote for a Richmond newspaper, I can't find any evidence that he has lived in the borough. Headhitter (talk) 16:38, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've also deleted the following:

Joe Anderson, actor, went to Richmond College but I can't find any web citations that say he lives or has lived in the borough
Terry Britten, singer and songwriter, works in Richmond, but again I can't find any web citations that say he lives or has lived in the borough
Caggie Dunlop, socialite – again no evidence of living in Richmond.

Headhitter (talk) 21:28, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've also deleted the following as, despite extensive searching on the web, I can't find reliable citations for:

Rod Burton
Georgina Chapman
Richard Clarke (radio personality)
The Fades
Peter Green
Guy Hollingworth – works in Richmond, but no evidence available to say that he lives in the borough
Eddie Izzard
Trevor Peacock
Robert Pattinson
Sam Walters – works in Richmond, but no evidence available to say that he lives in the borough

Headhitter (talk) 23:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And also:

Kylie Minogue

Headhitter (talk) 23:22, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Have now reinstated Robert Pattinson as I have found a citation for him.

Headhitter (talk) 00:44, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As the list was getting too long, I've now moved material relating to people from Barnes, East Sheen, Ham, Hampton, Kew, Mortlake, Petersham, St Margarets, Teddington, Twickenham and Whitton to the respective Wikipedia entries for their area. Headhitter (talk) 11:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted links found on List of people from Richmond upon Thames[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on List of people from Richmond upon Thames which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.
