Talk:Jodie Whittaker
I've temporarily blocked this page because several editors have been changing the date of birth without providing a new source confirming that new date. Please read Tardis:Valid sources and provide here a valid source for the June 17th date. Once that happens, I will unlock the page. Shambala108 ☎ 19:52, June 3, 2018 (UTC)
- After some digging I found this tweet in reply to a Happy Birthday tweet from the official Doctor Who account. It links an interview, the relevant part being this:
A lot of this is on my Wikipedia page but my birthday is wrong on it. It’s June 17, same day as Arthur Darvill (he played Reverend Paul Coates in Broadchurch) and we are exactly the same age. We were on set at Broadchurch and he was in the guardian birthday’s list and I was like, ‘I can’t believe it! Where am I?'
She even addresses the source on the page currently! I'm just glad its cleared up now. --Borisashton ☎ 20:01, June 3, 2018 (UTC)
Birth date
Per our policies, unsourced birth and death dates get removed from pages. I've removed the birth date here because apparently the year is not confirmed. If/when a source can be found, it can be re-added. I place here for convenience the info that I removed.

- Cool cool. I'm sure a source will turn up eventually :) Should she also be removed from the 17 June page for now as well? Toqgers ☎
- Good question, but for now I'll say no because for some reason we let those pages exist without sourcing. Shambala108 ☎ 00:39, December 17, 2018 (UTC)
