Semi-protected edit request on 27 June 2022

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

There is a sentence in the 'Personal Life' section which mentions Curtis' daughters. It specifies Ruby's transness, which I think should be excised as I don't think it is necessary to the context of the sentence. The source that supports the sentence describes how Ruby is transgender - and whilst the source is necessary because it supports the fact about Ruby being Jamie's daughter - her being trans isn't relevant to the content of the sentence itself. It's inappropriate for Ruby to be defined by her transness, and in the context of this sentence it comes across as saying she's not a real woman (unlike her cisgender sister) - even if that wasn't the intention of the writer. I definitely think that wasn't the intention since the sentence is otherwise written respectfully. 92.10.13.209 (talk) 23:51, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit semi-protected}} template. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:52, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I don't think that that's necessary - since someone else has already requested this alteration above - and had it approved. Someone must have changed it back, despite what was established in the talk, so I'd appreciate if my request was added. 92.10.13.209 (talk) 23:55, 27 June 2022 (UTC)

I agree with 92.10.13.209. That's unnecessarily personal information about a non-notable family member. I've removed it. Schazjmd (talk) 00:08, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

 Removed - FlightTime (open channel) 15:32, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

Acting career

The chronology of this section is messy. The reference to the Halloween franchise should be move to the end or moved to a special section. Refering to her as scream queen is not substatiated with any source. Theking2 (talk) 14:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

The nickname "Scream Queen" is easily verifiable; I've added a source to the article. Schazjmd (talk) 14:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 14 March 2023

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Jamie Lee Curtis. (edit · history · last · links · protection log) This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y". The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

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)
