Birth date?

This article says she was born in December 1959, but the IMDb says 1960. Which is the correct one? /Ludde23 ^{Talk Contrib} 23:04, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't find any suitable reliable sources to confirm Gonshaw's date of birth. Does anyone know of one that complies with WP:BLPPRIMARY? Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 22:35, 27 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Suspected copyright violation

I'm having difficulty believing that the content aded with this edit was not copied from somewhere – apart from the non-encyclopaedic style, the spurious line return/paragraph characters (removed by the same editor in subsequent edits) strongly suggest a copy-paste addition. However, I've not managed to identify a source, so have tagged the page as a suspected copyvio. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 13:48, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It has been six years. If you haven't established any foundation for this so-called "suspected violation" it's likely there wasn't one in the first place. 2.31.162.59 (talk) 23:40, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Uncited sections moved here

On the basis of the above and the result of the AFD, I have moved the following section here pending something to cite the statements. The Miramax books thing seems creditable, since her name appears as an editor here and here for example. Bob talk 15:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She has long combined an interest in both the performing and visual arts. With Peter Gabriel she collaborated and starred in the Grammy-award-winning music video "Digging in the Dirt" (1992). Gonshaw has also been involved in film publishing. In 1993, she took a leading part in setting up Miramax's publishing arm with Harvey Weinstein. Her credits at Miramax ranged widely: launching the company with Jane Campion's screenplay of The Piano and following this with Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Paul Auster's Smoke and Blue in the Face. Soon after she compiled Love – an edition of Neruda's poetry; she also compiled and edited Prêt à Porter for Robert Altman. Other leading directors and playwrights she has worked with include Martin Scorsese, Anthony Minghella, Sean Penn, and David Rabe. Gonshaw has also written, directed and produced films on her own account. Whilst at Miramax she wrote her first screenplay Dizzy, on the life of Benjamin Disraeli. She also wrote two further films: Leap of Faith and Sacred Life which received development funding from Little Wing Films. Additionally, she shot two short films in this period: "Sacred" and "Judgement".

Hmm, I think I should have read this before editing the page. I removed the sentence about Miramax, as the only source was LinkedIn, not WP:RS. If it is indeed the case I'm sure some interested editor will soon turn up a reliable source and re-add it. At the moment the only sourced material in the article is that she was born.

Sources for the Neruda collection: [1], [2]. I didn't find sources for the rest of that section. --Michig (talk) 18:57, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gonshaw was Editorial Director for the book "Robert Altman's Prêt à porter" New York : Miramax Books : Hyperion, 1994 ISBN 0786881038 . See Google Books and https://iucat.iu.edu/catalog/603489 BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
