@Theroadislong: New enough, long enough, hooky enough. Earwig is 31% but it is catching a properly attributed quote. QPQ done. As a comment, this ref is used to cite her year of birth. I am assuming it is because it says she is 38 years old. May I recommend specifically quoting that part in the reference (so you would add quote=). This just makes it more clear what you are using to back your statement. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 16:11, 15 November 2019 (UTC)

- I don't know, I only started the article others have edited since. Theroadislong (talk) 17:46, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
- Both refs support Kessel's year of birth: (1) The Red Online news article contains a quote from Kessel saying that she was 38 years old in 2016 shortly after her second child was born. A calculation from that indicates the years 1977-1979. (2) The Free BMD index shows only one Anna Kessel born around that timeframe, and that is in 1979, which refines the information from the Red Online quotation. I have added "circa" and "around", since I have not yet purchased the actual birth certificate. If you require me to do that, I should be happy to buy it and add its information to the existing reference. Meanwhile, in response to above comments, I have added the quotation to the Red online reference. Storye book (talk) 21:20, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
