Talk:Alex Jones (Welsh presenter)

34?

She doesn't look 34...maybe it's the adorable school-girl fashion she employs? DD --Nutthida (talk) 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

What is a Welsh and how do you present it

Surely she is a TV presenter, or does she present wales to the world?Slatersteven (talk) 18:57, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

The opening sentence follows MOS:BLPLEAD, which says, the opening paragraph should establish notability, neutrally describe the person, and provide context and consists of Name; Dates of birth and death; Context (location or nationality); The notable position(s) the person held, activities they took part in or roles they played; Why the person is notable. This is common practice, the 'generally accepted standard that editors should attempt to follow'. To avoid any confusion I have linked 'Welsh' to Welsh people.

Alex Jones (Welsh presenter) → Alex Jones (presenter) – Can we really call conspiracy theorist Alex Jones a presenter? Unreal7 (talk) 20:44, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

• Support Alex Jones is a radio show host, not a presenter, and so I believe this is a good choice. Every875 ^{Talk to me} 00:09, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose: It's close enough that someone who might confuse the two and "(presenter)" should probably go to disambiguation. And the conspiracy theorist just got the disambiguator removed a few days ago, if I remember. I think readers should have every opportunity to be alerted that there are two current, well-known people on broadcasting with that name, so they don't attribute certain things to the wrong one. Maybe "(British presenter)" would be more reasonable, since whether she's Welsh isn't really what people would search for — or would it? --Closeapple (talk) 07:32, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose; Both page names work fine as they are. And yes, she is far more recognisable noted as a Welsh presenter than she would be as British. Daicaregos (talk) 09:20, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support Are there any other presenters we have pages on?Slatersteven (talk) 10:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose @Slatersteven: yes Alex Jones (American radio-show presenter), per 55 recent GNews sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:11, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

That is a redirect, thus is not a page we have, also it is "radio-show presenter", not "presenter" thus is see no conflict.Slatersteven (talk) 12:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. The American hosts a radio show, therefore is a presenter. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:13, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
• Oppose - "Welsh presenter" avoids confusion with the other Alex Jones. -- Somedifferentstuff (talk) 10:49, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
• Support. Calling an American that hosts a radio show a "presenter" comes off sounding as unnatural as calling Wayne Rooney a "soccer player". Egsan Bacon (talk) 04:25, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

"Dragged up"?

"Jones participated in the Sport Relief appeal by being dragged up the 1,200 ft Moonlight Buttress in Zion National Park, Utah in the US by climber Andy Kirkpatrick" This sounds like a deliberately very biased version of the climb, unless she has used that phrase jokingly somewhere. Something along the lines of "helped to climb up" would seem more accurate. jmb (talk) 11:32, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
