Annual Top 99 of 2009[edit]

"In 2008, she was also nominated for AM's Annual Top 99 of 2009" - would there be any chance of someone explaining what the hell this gobbledygook means, if anything?

I agree and have removed the statement. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Out of date photo[edit]

A logged-out editor has made some attempts to remove the photograph in the infobox saying that Danielle Bux does not like it,^[1] or it is old,^[2] or out of date.^[3] If Wikipedia were a dating agency, these objections would carry great weight, but in that case Danielle Bux would be asked to supply a more recent photograph. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. The subject of the article mainly has an article on her because of what she did between 1999 and 2016, so a photograph taken in 2010 meets our needs.-- Toddy1 (talk) 14:49, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We now have a 2018 photograph in the infobox. Many thanks to Jojoplums1 (on Wikipedia) and Alan Strutt (on Commons).-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:55, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb as a source[edit]

IMDb is not acceptable as a source for statements in articles. This is because its content is largely user-generated. See WP:USERGENERATED.-- Toddy1 (talk) 18:08, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The imdb.com page said: "Bux is of South East Asian and Irish decent Her grandfather came to the UK from East Pakistan after serving in the British Navy." A Wikipedia editor said that this information was added by Bux's agent. But in 2015, the Daily Mirror said "Danielle's grandfather was from Bengal, and was an Indian Army officer during the Second World War. He reportedly spent five years in Japanese prisoner of war camps before moving to Cardiff where he met Danielle's grandmother."^[1] -- Toddy1 (talk) 19:13, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bearing in mind that the dates of the Malayan campaign, he could at most have been in Japanese prisoner of war camps nearly four years (December 1941 to September 1945).-- Toddy1 (talk) 20:39, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
