Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 13 January 2020 and 16 May 2020. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Betheyr. Peer reviewers: TeelHSCI, Mareyba.f.

Article title[edit]

I created this page but by a mistake I called it Uta_frith rather than Uta_Frith. How do I correct that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AFdeCH (talk • contribs) 13:43, 31 October 2006‎

BLP sources[edit]

I tagged this article with {{BLP sources}} because the statements in it are almost entirely justified by publications by Uta Frith herself (Urville has a forword by her). That's fine for stating bare facts, but statements like "She has pioneered much of the current research in autism" need to be supported by independent secondary sources (see the policy on verifiability). RockMagnetist (talk) 18:44, 15 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great point! The Bishop reference (40 years on...) actually makes a lot of those points so I've duplicated the reference at one of those general big picture statements. Let me know what you think. Kirstie j (talk) 14:20, 25 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NOTE: BLP sources[edit]

its true, she is one of the pioneers of autism. simon baron cohen and tony attwood were both trained by her while they were PHD students and this will show in their wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.38.217.36 (talk) 03:51, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CREDENTIAL[edit]

This edit cited MOS:CREDENTIAL. The guideline says this (emphasis added): "Post-nominal letters indicating academic degrees (including honorary degrees) should not be included following the subject's name in the first line ..." and the example given is this: "Stephen William Hawking CH CBE FRS FRSA (born 8 January 1942) ..." Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:54, 23 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

British nationality[edit]

Presumably this is a condition for Damehood. But, if so, when did it happen? Martinevans123 (talk) 16:44, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She married a British citizen in 1966, according to the page. Does that count? Bmcln1 (talk) 17:29, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I just added, lol. I guess it does. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She was awarded a DBE in 2013 and became British Citizen in 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.183.78.116 (talk) 19:29, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IP86. The article text says this:

"Frith was elected ... an Honorary Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 2012,^[1]..."

"Frith's honorary damehood (DBE) was made substantive on 4 April 2019.^[2] This allowed her to be called Dame Uta."

Are you disputing these claims? And you have not provided any source to support your claim that she became a British Citizen in 2019, so I have added a "citation needed" tag for that. The British Nationality Act 1948 allowed for UK citizenship by marriage and she married to a UK citizen in 1966? Thanks. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 11:09, 29 September 2022 (UTC) 205.239.40.3 (talk) 11:09, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reference numbers in Read and Edit mode[edit]

Please can someone help me? When in 'read' mode the article for Uta Frith starts with reference 4 in the first line. Refs 1-3 are in the biography box and the refs at the end are correct. But when I change to 'edit' the first reference is number 1 even though refs 1-3 appear in the Biography box. Ref 1 therefore refers to two different refences in the same page. I am trying to update the article with improved references but cannot continue until the edit mode and the read mode match each other. I think the problem lies with savings or publishing something in the biography box. Your help would be appreciated. Many thanks. Mountain9 Mountain9 (talk) 20:28, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
