Recent death

This is the biography page of someone who has recently died. I don't know how to invoke the procedure to protect it from vandalism. Can someone do that, please? --Hugh7 (talk) 06:39, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[Untitled]

This person was parodied in the Dilbert animated show (episode "Art") as "Sister Wanda Beaver". In the show, the nun is depicted as being sexually repressed, and the character interprets paintings such as still lifes as being "packed with erotic imagery," though clearly expressing her own repressed urges. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.79.215.32 (talk) 23:43, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Dilbert animated show (episode "Art") is l'ordures, as the French say.96.235.138.179 (talk) 23:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)7UP[reply]

Can 'someone' put the phrase '(once attributed to Goya but no longer)' in the right place - I think it belongs to the picture rather than WB herself. Jackiespeel (talk) 22:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a creative commons image of Sister Wendy out there that someone could embed into this article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.200.144.132 (talk) 14:16, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

British vs. English

At one point the description of Sister Wendy was changed from "English" to "British". Can someone explain why the former is not correct for a person living in England? Daniel the Monk (talk) 05:22, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Television and media work

was going to fix the Homes Under the Hammer listing that's not formatting properly, but out of curiosity I went to see if it was still on and the show didn't start til 2003, so if anyone's sure about it then feel free to fix it, I just don't know Mildlydiscouraging (talk) 21:40, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was vandalism (only added earlier today, by an IP, with no source), so I've removed it. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 21:55, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Art Nun"

Britannica claims she had the nickname "the Art Nun". Should this be added? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:08, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Postnominals

I see that the info box includes post-nominals from multiple religious congregations, but there should probably only be one. It's not clear from the biography whether she officially joined the Carmelites, but it does say she did leave the Sisters of Notre Dame. Whichever one it is she was a part of when she died, those should also be the post-nominals included after her name in the beginning text of the intro. Right now there's none. natemup (talk) 22:32, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image

As she had now been deceased for six years, could a photograph, or video capture still image, be used under a Fair use rationale? e.g. here's one that even has no marked copyright and here's one on a book cover. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:49, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
