Alumni

[edit]

Kate is said to be one of the alumni of New College, in Oxford. I am not sure that she actually graduated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.172.85.252 (talk) 09:54, 7 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pete Davidson

[edit]

They are not married, and he does not qualify as her partner for infobox purposes. That field is for "an unmarried long-term partner" per Template:Infobox person. Please don't add Davidson as her partner or worse yet, her spouse. Meters (talk) 07:50, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Kathryn "Kate" Bailey Beckinsale and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 January 26#Kathryn "Kate" Bailey Beckinsale until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Middle name is incorrect

[edit]

Her middle name is Romany, not Romary. It was supposed to be Gypsy but then her parents agreed on Romany. Es8989 (talk) 15:14, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That seems like a reasonable source, but we apparently have a contradictory source according to this thread in the talk archives. The link that 2012 discussion references, [1], doesn't seem to be available anymore. It's possible that a birth record/Ancestry.com record was incorrectly transcribed. Given that the Yahoo article quotes the subject, I'm leaning toward "Romany" per Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Self-published_sources (if Beckinsale says it's Romany, why shouldn't we believe her?) User:All Hallow's Wraith, any thoughts on this? OhNoitsJamie Talk 04:00, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.geni.com/people/Kate-Beckinsale/6000000046132070206 I believe after the actress post more sites will correct her name talk

Neither or those sources meet WP:RS guidelines. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:55, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I understand, however, what better resources we have (if any) than the statement of the actress herself on her recent Instagram post? It would be at least wise to warn about this factual inconsitency on the Wikipedia page, because this way Wikipedia provides false information which inevitably floods the Internet. I would find not ideal if Wikipedia provides my wrong name and I even can not fix it. I did just quick search of Internet as I do not have too much time, but I know it is an issue and perhaps someone who blocks corrections and is in charge of the page should do a through research about the issue. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavel2803 (talkcontribs) 19:38, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's best I can do now. Wish you good luck. Pavel2803

I've updated the article with the Instagram Yahoo! source (which is really just repeating what Beckinsale said in her own Instagram post); all of the WP:SELFSOURCE criteria appear to be met here. OhNoitsJamie Talk 22:01, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Kate beckinsale middle name is Romany and not Romary she even mentions her middle name on her official Instagram page on a post could you please correct this to her proper middle name Romany thank you. Mark5342abc (talk) 15:20, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You need to provide a reliable source supporting your change. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 6 February 2024

[edit]

Remove the portion of the sentence "the Paramount+ series" from the article. It is subversive advertising to draw interest towards a Paramount+ subscription. If Wikipedia truly claims to be advertisement free, sentences do not need to indicate where a series may be found, only that the actors played a role in it. 64.227.210.33 (talk) 03:06, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Per Guilty Party (TV series) this is indeed a Paramount+ streaming series, but since we don't list studios for her many films I agree that we don't need to mention the streaming service. As with the films the reader can follow the links to find out who created what. Meters (talk) 04:36, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For the same reason I have removed the iTV mention. Meters (talk) 04:40, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Many pages mention the streaming service a show is on. That's not advertising, subversive or otherwise. Also, the show hasn't been on Paramount+ for a long time. 99.23.37.58 (talk) 04:17, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because we did not need the information, not because I agreed that it weas "subversive". Meters (talk) 04:29, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, then. I don't see any reason not to include it given that the streaming service is usually noted (see the pages for Andor, For All Mankind, or Outer Range, for instance), but I also don't have a strong opinion about it. 99.23.37.58 (talk) 06:49, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protected Edit Request on 23 April 2024

[edit]


To remove:

  • Per IMDb, Laura Harris voiced Selene in Underworld: Endless War (2011); Kate's not listed in the cast.
  • I watched Vacancy 2: The First Cut (2008) and checked it for Kate's supposed appearance via archival footage. It doesn't exist (and isn't mentioned on IMDb nor any other source beyond Wikipedia, without citation).

To add:

Documentary appearances (to add to the television table):

Audio (the "radio" table could be changed to "audio"):

Videogames:

Stage (the year each play was first performed might be added, as well):

  • Nina in a 1995 production of Anton Chekov's The Seagull (1896).
  • Toni in a 1996 production of Nick Grosso's Sweetheart (1996).
  • Anne in a 1996 production of Samuel Adamson's Clocks and Whistles (1996).
  • An unknown role in a 1996 production of Faithless.
  • Sorel Bliss in a 1996 production of Noël Coward's Hay Fever (1925).

Skits:

Advertisements (a table could be added):

To change:

  • "Rachel's Dream," "The Proposal," and "Republicans, Get in My Vagina" are short works and so should be in quotations marks rather than being italicized. "Rachel's Dream" is also an episode in an anthology (Video Fantasies) and so should be in quotation marks for that reason, as well.

I'm deactivating this because it appears you later created the account Cryogenator and did it yourself. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:38, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography Requested Edit

[edit]

She appeared in Last Days of Disco in 1998. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120728/ Asherno (talk) 04:21, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And we already mention it in the article, in more than one place. Meters (talk) 07:32, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
But not in the Filmography. I don't feel comfortable making the edit myself because of the special formatting. Asherno (talk) 15:10, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And the page is not protected, so you can make whatever edit you want yourself. Meters (talk) 08:55, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
