Jack and the Flumflum Tree?

Should the works include Jack and the Flumflum Tree?82.31.133.165 (talk) 05:34, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Links

one of the worst red and blue snowstorms. --P64 (talk) 20:21, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth

Dates mentioned in the article are contradictory. It is stated that she was born in 1968, but elsewhere it refers to an earlier birthdate (1948) and her professional life during the 1970s. Clearly, something is amiss and needs checking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.50.35.194 (talk) 20:19, 5 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article now gives two different, exact dates in 1948 and 1954. I've updated it to match the only given source, the Independent saying that she was 45 when publishing her first book in 1993. --Lord Belbury (talk) 08:52, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References

Hi 79.67.251.9, thanks for making an edit request. Do you know Julia personally, or work her for? If so, please read WP:COI carefully so you can understand Wikipedia's guidelines on editing people you know.

Unfortunately, I have declined this request. The source provided is a WP:PRIMARY source, and the charity does not seem notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia. In the interest of not putting WP:UNDUE weight on her charitable work, I think it is best that we only include her most notable charities and philanthropy where she has an active role in its creation or administration.

If you would like to make another request, please follow the instructions at Template:Request edit/Instructions. Happy Editing! Z1720 (talk) 16:03, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Adaptions

What about adding that some of her books, like "The Gruffalo" and "The Snail and the Whale", have been adapted to animated short-films. 49.180.176.90 (talk) 09:11, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
