[edit] "....shows herself as a current actress that can mirable dictu act""

What the hell does this mean? Mintguy

"mirable dictu" literally means "wonderful to tell". Whoever wrote that clearly has a low opinion of the modern acting profession... —Paul A

the expression is actually mirabile dictu --ukexpat 20:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Antoxl

This article is the only page in the entire Google index which contains the word 'antoxl'. What the heck does it mean?Adambisset 00:47, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

After some rummaging around in Google, it appears that someone meant "axolotl". Interview. Shadoks 11:44, 9 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

noticed this article still has the cleanup tag, can anyone explain why or what needs to be done? Idril 15:08, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Looks okay to me. I think the cleanup could be removed. Guinness 00:04, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "professional" vs rep theatre

is this the typically drawn distinction? repertory is professional too though, so it doesn't really seem to fit... Amo 19:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] not npov if I ever saw one...

From the beginning paragraph... "noted for her distinctive ability to deeply delve into the minds of the characters she plays." What is that supposed to mean? --Fbv65edel ^{(discuss | contribs)} 23:02, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

And could someone pare down that alliteration please? Sumergocognito 22:41, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] best known......

i removed the blackadder reference from the opening, 'cos it's subjective, and probably not correct. - Petesmiles 12:26, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

I don't think we can claim fair use on this: the Non-free images guidelines (#12 in the list) specifically mentions "people still alive" as an example that may fail the test. There is an exception for "retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance", but that does not apply to Richardson. 86.132.137.224 (talk) 03:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
