Talk:Penelope Keith

Year of birth

Does anyone know if 1930 or 1940 is the correct birth year. I must admit, I thought she'd have been older than 35 when the Good Life was made user:lawsonrob

All sources seem to give 1940, so unless a source says otherwise I have put that on the article. A quick check of the Birth registers would settle the problem. --Berks105 20:21, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

I have checked the birth records and 1940 appears to be correct, though she is recorded as Penelope A T Hatfield. The wedding to Rodney Timson in 1978 also lists her as Penelope A T Hatfield, so the full name in the article does need checking. 86.24.70.90 (talk) 13:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC) Moriarty

Picture

And I could say the same to you regarding WP:3RR, so don't say that. I'm quite well aware of the rules. I have my suspcisions that you are a sockpuppet of another user, but I shall need more evidence before making a formal claim. But anyway - you have yet to tell me why you think this necessary? What the need to have a hideous and ugly silohette asking for a photo? It will only encourage people to upload incorrect image. An image request is on the TalkPage, and thats all that is necessary. I shall talk to other people, and see if there is consensus for or against this. But in the meantime, can you tell why it's necessary?--UpDown 11:21, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Is it right to say "nee Hatfield"?

Usually that is to define that a name is a married name, but Keith obviously isn't. 92.29.188.18 (talk) 22:40, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your question. While née is often used used to define the difference between birth name and married name its translation is "born as" and can be applied to a woman's family-name at birth that has been replaced for any reason. Please see Married and maiden names for further information. Having said that we could probably remove the use of it in the first sentence as her birth name is given in the infobox and at the beginning of the "Early life" section. This section also describes why her last name was changed to Keith. If any other editor wants to chime in on whether we could alter the first sentence please feel free to do so.

Prince of Wales's car

This doesn't make any sense. which Prince of Wales? In PK's early years there was no Prince of Wales, and both previous P's of W had become Kings. This requires either clarification or removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Channelwatcher (talk • contribs) 22:39, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

It certainly requires clarification but it doesn't say the car of the then current Prince of Wales. If it was a car that had been owned by a previous Prince of Wales it could well still be known as the Prince's car. The reference is about an Edwardian motoring pioneer so it could well mean George V when he was the Prince of Wales -- SteveCrook (talk) 00:23, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

Can't believe that 10 years later this still hasn't been straightened out. I tried to research it, but unfortunately the link supporting this detail goes to a BBC website that says that the program isn't presently available online, so there's no way to watch it and find out if she's talking about when she was a kid or what. Considering she is 8 years older than Charles III, it seems quite possible she is talking about the car belonging to a prior Prince of Wales, although I do understand the point that at the time she was born there were only the princesses. It does seem to me that if we aren't sure which Prince of Wales she means, then the wiki link should lead to the article Prince of Wales and not (as it presently does) the article on Charles III of the UK.

For a famous comedienne, do we have to show her frowning? Valetude (talk) 10:56, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

Missed performances.

What happened to her great performance in "To the manor born" and her stage performance in "Moving"??? 142.134.145.28 (talk) 23:20, 17 February 2024 (UTC)

Citations needed?

The article seems to have a reasonable number of inline citations. I am not quite sure why it is plastered with several banners requiring additional citations. Could the issues requiring additional citations please be clarified.I can see some statements have a tag requesting a citation - that should be sufficient without the plethora of banners. Matilda ^talk 09:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I have found some additional citations where these were requested. The article has 33 inline citations. I have removed the banner as being overzealous. There is one citation needed tag outstanding (West End concurrent performances while filming the Good Life) --Matilda ^talk 10:32, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
