Magazine article

Does that magazine article mention Carter's role as the black widow of Stargate?

No, if only because she isn't. LD 00:08, 23 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian or English

Even though she was raised in Canada, doesn't being born in England make Amanda an English actor? I've not edited the article in case there is a good answer to this question. FirestarXL 19:32, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's possible she claims to be Canadian, she has lived there for like 37 years..especially if she has Canadian citizenship (although i'm not really sure how citizenship works across commonwealth countries). cpritchett42 05:53, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

She is probably a naturalised Canadian Citizen as well, but would have been born a British Citizen. The real question is the nationality of her parents (which I presume is British). In either-case, the real issues are what she 'considers herself' and what passports she actually holds (if she's not claiming British Citizenship then it doesn't really apply). However, it would be 'English-born', not 'English born', in the given context. 86.136.11.51 17:23, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Starring in booty call

does Amanda Carter really starred in "Booty Call" movie? even full IMDB credit's doesn't show her up - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118750/fullcredits devein

imdb lists her now (as Dr. Moore). Must have been an oversight originally. RayGates 19:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Twin

Who is her twin? She's in the fraternal twins category but her twin isn't mentioned in the article. Neither are her parents. Noneofyourbusiness 18:31, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is Amanda Tapping a twin? · Yes. & ... he is Christopher

first: Ok, me, the same. cfr. both: Category:Twin people from Canada, Category:Twin people from England. 2nd · Is this a better (good) source? than article's

I found this info: Amanda Tapping | Memory Delta Wiki | Fandom · memorydelta.fandom.com. the same info: Tapping has two living brothers, Richard and Christopher.

Chris is her fraternal twin (and he lives in Toronto) ... working as a database administrator.
- Steven's info. Cfr. we see something at the article: Personal life. --Pla y Grande Covián (talk) 14:22, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Height and Cup Size-Appropriate?

The account Indiandish and the IP address 83.251.193.112 are continually adding "Height: 1.70m Chest: 34D" to the article. I do not consider them to be encyclopedic, but trivia (especially the cup size, is there any reason at all that should be in there? since he continues to add it, I figure I'd better see if anyone else objects to me continuing to revert it. SirFozzie 15:03, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. (For one thing, I doubt Tapping is a D.) Checking his contributions, I see he's trying to add the same sort of thing to several other articles. May a temporary block is in order? —wwoods 20:32, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I consulted with another admin I trust and will give both the account and the IP address a final warning. If they continue, then a short block will be necessary. SirFozzie 20:54, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Wizard of Oz play

Who was she? -- Noneofyourbusiness (talk) 03:15, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to IMDb, she was Miss Gulch. That's the crabby neighbour who was bitten by Toto at the start of the film. Gamer Junkie ^{T / C} 12:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hair color

I know Amanda is a blonde. Does anyone know if she has dyed her hair dark for Sanctuary, or if she wears a wig?

Thanks Cat =^..^= —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.186.165.45 (talk) 03:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She has dark hair in the Ghost Hunters 2008 Live special so she probably dyes it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.244.83.203 (talk) 23:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This whole article needs to updated for 2010. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.213.30.142 (talk) 14:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Background

The Wikipedia article states she moved to Canada with her family when she was 3 years old, however her official website states she was 1 year old when this happened. The official website doesn't state her year of birth however so I'm not sure how accurate this biography is and so didn't edit the Wikipedia article. Maybe someone with more insight in to this can edit the page accordingly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toby.e.hawkins (talk • contribs) 04:36, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The birth year of 1965 (3rd quarter) is confirmed by the ancestry.co.uk website —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.224.189 (talk) 21:14, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods (2009)

The article lists "Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods" as a 2009 film. "Stargate SG-1: Children of the Gods" is in fact the first (two-parter) episode of SG-1, the entry links to a page for that episode. I believe the entry is referring to the re-edited DVD re-release of the first two episodes, however the episode page has no mention of this and it seems confusing to credit it as a separate film from the series on this page. It also seems inconsistent with how other filmographies are listed, Mark Hamill's page doesn't have separate entries for the 1997 re-release of the Star Wars films, for example. 74.69.36.58 (talk) 23:55, 23 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Television

In 1996, Amanda Tapping is listed as "Annie" in Season 4 of Kung-Fu: The Legend Continues. She also guest-starred in the same series in 1994, Season 2, episode "An Ancient Lottery," aired February 16, 1994, as "McIllroy's girlfriend." Verification is here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/List_of_Kung_Fu:_The_Legend_Continues_episodes^[1] and here: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103460/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_cl_sm^[2] (just do a search of Amanda Tapping on the IMDB page, then click on her name to expand the show credits). Seasons 1 and 2 of the series are available on DVD, but Seasons 3 and 4 remain in limbo. Will someone make the addition? --DTavona (talk) 07:41, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
