London vs Zambia

I'm posting this message on all wikipedia articles that have an article about Thandie Newton, in English to avoid a lot of translation work

The Daily Telegraph, Yahoo! Movies biography and The New York Times state she was "born in Zambia".

But in two interviews she has said herself that it was London:

• BBC Two (4th June 2008), "A Taste of My Life", Series 4, Thandie Newton

Nigel Slater: "You were born in London but you didn't stay here for long did you? You went down to Cornwall?"

Thandie Newton: "Actually I don't know how my mum and dad managed to do this. But we lived in Zambia, and my mum was pregnant with me. And I was born on a two week trip back to London, and then we went back to Zambia and my brother was born there. And we ended up coming to England finally when I was three years old. So my dad could help out with the family antique business."

- Viewable online for U.K. citizens until Wednesday 23rd July.

• News Blaze (24th March 2008), Thandie Newton "Run, Fatboy, Run" Interview with Kam Williams

Kam Williams: "I’ve read that you were born in England, and also that you were born in Africa. Which is correct?"

Thandie Newton: "I was born in London during a brief trip back from Africa which is where we all lived at the time."

After much discussion, we have on the English wikipedia decided to use the following line: "Her birthplace is reported to be Zambia in biographies, but she herself has said that she was born in London, during a two week trip by her parents." - per the four earlier mentioned sources, with a direct quote from the BBC interview that will only be available online for another few days.

I have removed the information that she was born in Zambia, I suggest you follow the approach we used on the English wikipedia. To avoid having to make a judgment on sources, but this wikipedia may have different policies to be followed. Greetings, Species8473 2008年7月20日 (日) 20:33 (UTC)
