I've clarified the comment about her bisexuality - she said it *once* in an interview when she was filming a lesbian-themed movie. Since she's married with three kids, this *probably* falls more in the PR category than it does any deep-seated belief or emotions on her part.

It's not about nationality, it's about ethnicity! Keeley Hawes was born, raised and is living in England, so her ethnic identity is English. Every Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish actor/writer/singer/etc is staunchly referred to on Misplaced Pages by their ethnicity (which is considered perfectly acceptable by all), but for some reason people hate the idea of English people being afforded the same consideration.

Even though Kitty Butler is a cheating tramp, there is nothing more I would like to confirm that Keeley Hawes could play for my team, even part-time. However, after reading the DIVA article, I don't believe that is well-written or well-referenced, and I would like to know how they claim Hawes is bisexual. That sort of thing should have quotes. The afterellen write-up is a reference back to the DIVA article, so I don't believe it should be used. I searched on LexisNexis, ProQuest, GenderWatch, and the BBC website for information on Keeley Hawes' being bisexual, and have discovered nothing so far, beyond her relationship with her first husband and her marriage to her male co-star in Spooks. --] (]) 16:12, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:: More: After a long edit war ] ( i.e don’t change nationality listing to make a ]) was invoked and a compromise found. From my viewpoint: I fail to see why people from the USA are listed by federal nationality not States and why some UK nationals are by regions? All this does is act like a red flag to pro nationalists/seperatists. The sovereign state should be the only nationality on WP. Ie Canadian, French, Australian & BRITISH etc. ] <sup> ] . ]</sup> 21:03, 10 October 2009 (UTC)


Firstly, there is a big difference between a state and a ], which is what England, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland are. And we don't know Keeley Hawes is "Anglo-Saxon"; she could be Brythonic, Norman, Germanic or Celtic by heritage, but whichever it is she still comes under the term ]. There is no need for this war to rage on and on, and I'm certain it will come to an end when people just respect the fact that in Britain there is a preference for people to refer to themselves by their constituent country, alluding their ethnic/cultural identity (which is not equivalent to referring to oneself by state or city), and that it's not fair to ban the English identity from Misplaced Pages but allow the Scottish, Welsh and N Irish ones. Equality for all! P.S. Yeah I am familiar with the fact that there are black English people too, particularly since my father happens to be one of them! ] (]) 23:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
::I am sure that the journalists at ] will be pleased to hear you say that. Since they talked to KH directly and the words came out of her mouth, I don't know what you want. I am sure youtube videos of her talking in depth about it are fakeable. No one made a big deal about it at the time because it isn't such a big deal in some parts. ] (]) 22:04, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
:::I read the Diva article from the Rachael Stirling site provided as a source. Although that article declares Hawes bisexual, I did not read a quote from Hawes confirming she was, or saying she has slept with/been in love with women in the past. This is the stuff that quotes are really necessary for. ], who has admitted to being bisexual, was interviewed by ], where it was splashed all over - Rodriguez is not a lesbian! But since she was on the cover, she was labeled as one and she accused Curve of trying to out her. It's not a matter of what I want personally (that would be Hawes herself, or Stirling, indeed), but rather this interesting concept of verifiability. There should be no question, especially by the LGBT folks on Misplaced Pages, that who we claim is LGBT - actually is. Our claims are held to higher standards than other claims here. We have to work a bit harder to verify what we've known for a long time, but the quality of the articles definitely isn't hurt by it.
:::Writing to Diva is a good idea, actually. I might consider that...--] (]) 12:44, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::KH spoke to Diva '''and''' the Radio Times. MR never spoke to Curve at all. Curve didn't claim MR was lesbian. It called her a 'bad bi girl'. MR has admitted experimentation, she hasn't said she is bisexual. LGBT should have normal standards - because being LGBT is normal. If someone says in two interviews "I am bi" and doesn't repent, that is enough. And who keeps removing the Radio Times reference from the article? ] (]) 12:37, 13 December 2007 (UTC)


(Coming in from the RFC.) I'd say use "English" only because it's more specific and so slightly more informative. But I don't see any particularly strong arguments for either side, and I don't think mine is especially compelling either. ~] 05:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
::::::You and I believe that being LGBT is normal. Per Misplaced Pages's policies, though, being LGBT is considered controversial and that information has to be sourced by particularly reliable sources. Believe me, I personally don't care - I'm trying to keep this article within the ] policies. It runs the risk of being deleted if it doesn't adhere.
::::::As for the Radio Times, I can't read the interview, so I have no idea a) what it says and b) how reliable it is.

Firstly, there is a big difference between a state and a constituent country, which is what England, Scotland, Wales and N Ireland are. And we don't know Keeley Hawes is "Anglo-Saxon"; she could be Brythonic, Norman, Germanic or Celtic by heritage, but whichever it is she still comes under the term English people. There is no need for this war to rage on and on, and I'm certain it will come to an end when people just respect the fact that in Britain there is a preference for people to refer to themselves by their constituent country, alluding their ethnic/cultural identity (which is not equivalent to referring to oneself by state or city), and that it's not fair to ban the English identity from Misplaced Pages but allow the Scottish, Welsh and N Irish ones. Equality for all! P.S. Yeah I am familiar with the fact that there are black English people too, particularly since my father happens to be one of them! 79.74.2.20 (talk) 23:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

(Coming in from the RFC.) I'd say use "English" only because it's more specific and so slightly more informative. But I don't see any particularly strong arguments for either side, and I don't think mine is especially compelling either. ~YellowFives 05:10, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

(comment as requested at RFC) As she was born in England then she is English, cant see anything wrong with her being described as an English actress it is factually correct. MilborneOne (talk) 22:52, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

No matter how her ethnic identity is referred to, if you come to the conclusion that it is English, she is "an English acress" and not "a English actress".

Model?

Since she is essentially modelling in the Boots makeup ad, isn't she also a model? --LeedsKing (talk) 00:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
