Birthplace confusion

Articles says Leeds, boxout says North Ormesby in Middlesbrough - miles apart! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.146.105 (talk) 13:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

By all accounts she was born and grew up in Leeds; I'm not sure how she has become associated with Middlesbrough. I'm from Middlesbrough, and here I doubt many people are aware of any sort of connection. Perhaps she lived in Boro at some point? 217.42.230.195 (talk) 15:42, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I love these people who write a reply to a query by stating at length that they have no idea what the answer is. Her birthplace is in her autobiography, Vera Duckworth – My Story. Has anybody read it?Francis Hannaway 08:53, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Protection; date of death

I've semi-protected the page to avoid constant adding/removal of dates surrounding the subject's recent death. Most edits had introduced different dates—e.g. 24/25/26/27(!) September—and none with a cited WP:RS. Please, as the hidden comment requests, only add a date with an accompanying reference. Thanks, MIDI (talk) 10:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, BBC have published full article...! Will remove semi-protection and keep pending reviews. MIDI (talk) 10:28, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Date of death

The last edit to this page shows her date of death as the 27th September (tomorrow!) according to the BBC news website she died on Monday evening the 25th September. As a new editor I cannot amend this page as it is semi protected. Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-41397413 Navrally (talk) 10:29, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Worry not, all is now added and sourced. Thanks for your input—as a new editor, if you keep editing (i.e. articles that are "open" and not semi-protected) you'll be able to edit protected pages like this in no time! Best of luck, MIDI (talk) 10:52, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

COPD

Dawn was diagnosed in March 2004. (86.133.85.247 (talk) 10:53, 26 September 2017 (UTC))[reply]

"Emphysema" was used in the source, and it's not old term of COPD. –Ammarpad (talk) 12:29, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Heavy smoker

Should the article mention Dawn was a heavy smoker? (86.133.85.247 (talk) 11:55, 26 September 2017 (UTC))[reply]
