The link site: http://www.myvillage.com/brighton/celebs&gossip-annie-nightingale.htm seems to be a bad link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonstarbuck ( talk • contribs) 03:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
"She spins breaks" - this is incomprehensible outside a limited audience and perhaps should be replaced by something more accessible? -- Rodhullandemu 01:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I've had an email from Annie asking me to delete her birthdate from the article since it is (a) inaccurate and (b) private. I have had a look at Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Privacy_of_birthdays which says just to leave the year but I can see her concern. I will be watching the page to ensure it doesn't creep back. In any case, it's unsourced & fails WP:Verify. -- Rodhullandemu 15:23, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
no its not she herself said she was 65 a couple of years ago http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/the-5minute-interview-annie-nightingale-radio-dj-797797.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.115.48 ( talk) 11:40, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
I've just checked the birth index, and there's no sign of an Anne Nightingale with a birth registered in London in 1942. The only Anne Nightingale with a birth registered in London around this time is in the Lambeth district in 1944. So if we are sure Anne Nightingale is her birth name, then we can rule out 1942 and assume she was born in 1944. Crisso ( talk) 00:09, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

On the page, it says Chase the Fade was released in 1981. In my copy of her 1999 book, Wicked Speed, it says, "Chase the Fade" (Blandford Press, 1982)" Which is the accurate year of publication? Matt Gibbs ( talk) 02:40, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
I think the article needs to be updated with the 40 years at Radio 1 details, Andy Parfitt comments etc. Chevy monte carlo 19:09, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
No mention of her Radion 1 evening programme, mailbag in which listners wrote in on topica/general issues. It was on Wednesdays at 7pm. Mailbag( Coachtripfan ( talk) 13:07, 20 September 2013 (UTC))
Nothing on relationships over such a long period? Valetude ( talk) 00:05, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
My first encounter with Anne Nightingale was in the early 1970s when she was either hosting or co-presenting a magazine program aimed at young people, some time between 5 and 6 of a weekday evening. I have a feeling it didn't run long. It may even have been a one-off. (I have a memory of her standing looking at traffic clutching a clipboard, but I haven't a clue what the story was about now.) Anyone any idea what that might have been? If we can find a reference to it, it would be useful too post it up. -- Matt Westwood 09:15, 15 November 2020 (UTC)
This seems unlikely since Ray Cordeiro has been hosting the show "All the way with Ray" on RTHK Radio 3 since 1970 (Source: SCMP https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/entertainment/article/3043625/hong-kong-musical-greats-help-radio-dj-uncle-ray-celebrate amongst others; I listen to his show most nights), and Ms Nightingale hasn't been hosting a continuously running show since then. Is the Guinness World Records really a reputable source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.247.55.49 ( talk) 13:04, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick fix! :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.247.55.49 ( talk) 15:14, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
In the early life and career section, approximately halfway, there is a reference to "Andrews" being a genius.
Given this is not Nightingale, and looks to be a reference to the above paragraph, I do not think it is relevant to the article. AntonyRichardLee ( talk) 23:21, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
The Flickr source here gives no date. But the Radio 1 logo suggests about 1978? Martinevans123 ( talk) 21:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
The BBC Genome project has listings from the Radio Times which give some clues about the transition from Anne to Annie. My impression is that she was formally known as Anne but informally referred to by other presenters as Annie. For example, there's a transitional listing in 1982 which reports her as "Reporter: Anne Nightingale [billed as Annie Nightingale]". Andrew🐉( talk) 09:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
