Patsy Stone

[edit]

i wonder if she may have been the model for patsy stone, joanna lumley's character on absolutely fabulous? if so, that certainly deserves mention. Toyokuni3 (talk) 14:06, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is "most famous for exploits" supposed to mean?!

[edit]

"... who became most famous for exploits in the 1960s"

Without a mention of what sort of exploits the writer had in mind the sentence containing the above extract - the opening sentence of the article - conveys no useful information whatsoever.

Linguistically and educationally challenged Wikipedia writers strike again. Can we at least require some ability to express an idea using words before a person is let loose on editing this so-called encyclopedia? It is becoming increasingly difficult to find sentences and paragraphs that are written in good, conventional "American English", even, let alone English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.174.7 (talk) 20:22, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That comment might be a bit pedantic - this phrase is more common than one might think. A search on Google for "exploits in the 1960s" results in 99,100 hits. As you know, you can help improve Wikipedia by contributing some good writing of your own - I am looking forward to reading your contributions. Hohenloh + 16:00, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How about '...became a major figure in the media and London society in the 60's'? Valetude (talk) 23:11, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Husband?

[edit]

Why is her husband not mentioned by name? He was the late Michael Parkin, who ran an art gallery in Belgravia. Valetude (talk) 23:05, 17 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality

[edit]

Wales is not a separate nation and there is no such thing as a Welsh national. Parkin may well be ethnically Welsh (ethnicity being a somewhat fuzzy area) but she is certainly British in both citizenship and nationality. That may change, of course, but any such change is some time off and our article needs to reflect the present, not the future possibilities. - Sitush (talk) 16:01, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agony Aunt?

[edit]

I'm sure Molly spent time as an agony aunt. If I'm not mistaken she wrote for TV Quick in the early 1990s. Something to add if someone can verify. 92.21.238.179 (talk) 21:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The novels

[edit]

Are her novels not significant enough to list? Valetude (talk) 20:21, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
