Talk:Geraldine McEwan

Awards section

User:83.78.66.11 removed the 'Awards' section a few days ago. I have just restored it.

I admit the section is not complete (I was working through the Evening Standard awards, but haven't looked at any others) but it seems to me to be a section that ought to exist, and I don't know why it was removed. ColinFine 20:38, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Actor or actress?

I think the "gender-neutrality" thing is way out of place here. As a Wikipedia reader I find it somewhat misleading (and quite hilarious) to refer to a female actress as an "actor". I won't touch it anymore, but I suggest someone else besides user:MarnetteD looks into all this and tell us their opinion. Thanks. Christomir (talk) 00:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, I had promised not to touch it any more, but no one is saying or doing anything about it, so I had to revert it to "actress" again. Otherwise it's just plain stupid. I still hope someone else shows interest in the issue and tells that user not call a woman "an actor". Is this article the property of just one person, who can write whatever they want in it, regardless of how the same thing is done in other articles? I don't think so...

I agree that "actress" is a much more appropriate term here. MOS is not a bible and it does not override common sense; in the case of acting as a profession the prevailing, and rather overwhelmingly so, common usage is to refer to the female members of the profession as actresses rather than actors.

I have also started a thread Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Actor vs Actress terminology to discuss this issue in a more centralized fashion. Nsk92 (talk) 16:01, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Red Dwarf

I have removed the reference to Geraldine McEwan appearing in an episode of this series. It might be well known to addicts, but reliable sources establishing its notability are scarce. The potential sources are pretty much restricted to fan sites about Red Dwarf. Philip Cross (talk) 09:39, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Web Site

I tried to browse her web site but it is no longer active. I did not edit the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by H2mac (talk • contribs) 16:11, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

Barchester Chronicles

Geraldine Mckewn played the terrifying and indomitable Mrs Proudie in the Barchester Chronicles. Clive Swift played her weak ineffective husband the Bishop. Alan Rickman also came to notice as the odious Mr Slope. 2A01:4C8:809:8A61:1:1:1FB9:DFF0 (talk) 13:52, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
