The majority of readers will be interested in Emily Maitlis' occupation, rather than her religious/ethnic background - hence it is more appropriate to major on her journalistic history in the first paragraph of her biography.
If you follow the first outside link on the page the website states that Maitlis was born in 1972, not 1970 as in this article. Which is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paddyman1989 ( talk • contribs) 18:31, 27 July 2006
British Zionist? Neither accurate, relevant or appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.179.230.10 ( talk) 11:00, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
Her date of birth, as 6th September 1970, was given in an in-depth interview in the Sunday Times quite recently. —Preceding

"She is married to Mark Gwynne, an investment manager, ". Mark Gwynne started out at Smith New Court, which is 27% owned by Rothschild Bank. "Smith Bros, which Marks had joined in 1958, becoming a director in 1975, took part in the move towards consolidation after Big Bang, buying a small stockbroker called Scott Goff Layton and selling a 27pc stake in itself to Rothschild in 1986. It became Smith New Court, taking part of its new name from Rothschild's office in New Court. Marks became chief executive in 1987." [1] MrSativa ( talk) 16:49, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
Smith New Court was bought by Merrill Lynch in 1995. Khamba Tendal ( talk) 21:56, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

How is this relevant to anything?
If the statement is political, it seems to be undermined by the fact that she attended Cambridge, which is a typical hunting ground for the BBC.
And if she went there from a state school, so does a substantial - and growing - percentage of the Oxbridge intake.
The inclusion of this 'fact' seems to imply that some major obstacle was overcome. Surely not. Mike Galvin ( talk) 22:47, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
...a man with the same name pleaded not guilty to breaching an order restraining him from contacting her by writing a letter with the intention it be passed to her.
"As a consequence of the disastrous fallout from this programme, Prince Andrew was obliged by the Queen to resign from Royal duties and from public life."
(1) The above is unsubstantiated. (2) Use of the word 'disastrous' is subjective, emotive, unsubstantiated (and objectively unsubstantiateable). (3) 'Obliged' is unsubstantiated speculation.
Better and neutral might be something like: "Subsequent to the programme, Prince Andrew resigned from Royal duties and from public life."
“The Guardian” has not been the “Manchester Guardian” since 1959! So have deleted the word “Manchester”.
