The personal information about Jamie Lee Curtis is incorrect in describing her as "The Right Honourable Lady Haden-Guest". The title "The Right Honourable" only applied to members of the Privy Council. She would be correctly described as "Lady Haden-Guest" Dr Roger (talk) 16:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

This is wrong so please ignore it!!! Dr Roger (talk) 17:00, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Jamie Lee Curtis

From its length and depth, this appears to be a self-written Misplaced Pages entry. Although I skimmed it, I found it fascinating and delightful. So thank you, Ms. Curtis: I like you even more than I did before. 2604:3D08:2D81:6B00:E5F0:7C68:310A:452C (talk) 19:01, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Personal life

They have two adopted daughters: Annie, born in 1986, and Ruby, born in 1996.

This is false they adopted a daughter named Annie and son named Thomas. You can add the Thomas transitioned and now calls themselves Ruby but to omit all reality, and change factual history, is contrary to the purpose of an encyclopedia.

Record Facts. Thank You. Zzvicezz (talk) 04:43, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Refer to MOS:GENDERID. Misplaced Pages is written under a neutral point of view respecting living people's lives. (CC) Tbhotch 04:58, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

At the same time she was a bit public about Thomas becoming Ruby. Saxophonemn (talk) 07:00, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

WP:OWNERSHIP issues

Cryptkeeperfun seems to be displaying blatant WP:OWNERSHIP by blindly reverting mass edits here with nary an explanation. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:45, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I think the same can be said for you. You are the one removing established content, not me. Don't be a hypocrite. Cryptkeeperfun (talk) 18:51, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Explain your reasoning instead of resorting to WP:PERSONALATTACKS. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:51, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Please pay heed to your own advice. Cryptkeeperfun (talk) 18:53, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I did. Now your turn. :) Krimuk2.0 (talk) 18:55, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

No, you didn't. You are removing mass info from the heading for no valid reason, which appears to be vandalism, when I'm only restoring established content. It's clear you have an agenda and have resorted to making me an enemy, when I'm not. You're behaving like a brait and you should be ashamed of yourself. Cryptkeeperfun (talk) 19:02, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Firstly, it's called the WP:LEAD, and not a "heading". And it's a summary of the article, and not a listing of her credits. Also, please understand what WP:VANDALISM is. There is no such thing as an "established" content. An article, especially a B-class one as this, can and should be improved. And thirdly, and in more severe terms, calling people a "brat" and a "hypocrite" is exactly what WP:PERSONALATTACKS asks you not to do. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 19:04, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

I do understand what WP:VANDALISM is, do you? That's why I was reverting your mass removal edits. Anyone reviewing our edits can clearly see you began threats and hostility towards me, nothing you can reply to me can change that. It's now up to other edits to restore the edits if they see fit, I'm not restoring anymore content from your mass removal agenda. Cryptkeeperfun (talk) 19:11, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

Jamie Lee Curtiss screen debut was in 1976

Jamie Lee Curtiss screen debut was in the 1976 Columbo episode The Bye-Bye Sky High I.Q. Murder Case - she played a waitress in a cafe and is credited as such at the end of the episode. 124.104.112.165 (talk) 15:05, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

A reliable source for this content is needed in order to include it in this article or at List of Jamie Lee Curtis performances (already listed there). General Ization 15:24, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

 Not done Also, the air date of that episode was May 22, 1977 (not 1976). This is after her February 18, 1977 appearance on Quincy M.E., which is already noted as her television debut. General Ization 15:33, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Edit request

The first paragraph after the lede states that Jamie Lee Curtis played Laurie Strode in “seven of the Halloween sequels”. This is incorrect and the citation does not state this. Curtis played Laurie Strode in seven Halloween films total, including six of the sequels. It’s not a big deal, just a wording issue, but it is incorrectSamRCossey (talk) 20:50, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

 Done

Ms Curtis's title is not "The Right Honourable ..." : the title "The Right Honourable" is for members of the Privy Council only and Ms Curtis/ Lady Haden-Guest is not one. 2A00:23C8:E2C:3B01:1476:7CD3:D6C9:BC8A (talk) 16:02, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. According to our article on the title (The Right Honourable)), Barons and their spouses may use this honorific. PianoDan (talk) 20:36, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
