@Lajmmoore and Penny Richards: I've sourced part of it (turns out actually reading the entire interview rather than skimming it and searching for the surname did the trick!) and removed the rest to the talk page. I think the five-folding shouldn't be a problem, it was very short before we started. I prefer Alt0 too, should we strike Alt1? Thanks, Espresso Addict (talk) 21:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

@Lajmmoore and Espresso Addict:: Strikethrough done (I never knew how to do that before, neat).Penny Richards (talk) 02:18, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

@Penny Richards and Espresso Addict: thanks so much both, its a green tick now! Lajmmoore (talk) 07:13, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

Information needing a reliable source

She was involved in establishing television programmes for the Open University. She was known for advising novice directors.

These were added by an anon editor sourced to a fanblog. I've investigated the blog and while it's a great resource, and I think the details are likely to be correct, there's no obvious reason for Wikipedia to consider it a reliable source. If the anon editor could come up with more reliable sources eg published interviews they can be replaced. Espresso Addict (talk) 21:36, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
