What's the point of dividing up this short article into four separate sections and then declaring each section unfinished? <K F> 19:35, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
P S And the article is not mentioned at Wikipedia:Requests for expansion either. <K F> 19:38, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
I deleted the succession box because it was applied erroneously. It's only meant to be used for the main villain. Sophie Marceau was correctly listed as main villain for The World is Not Enough, but for some reason Pike was listed as the main villain for Die Another Day when it was Toby Stephens. There may be a succession box for henchmen, in which case Pike's character would qualify, but she doesn't qualify as either the main villain nor the main Bond girl in Die Another Day. 23skidoo ( talk) 16:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Why on earth is the director of each Film/Television show listed? When it comes to what things an actor has been in, the interesting things are the year, the name of the film/show, their character name, and in notes anything extra like on a TV show which episodes they were in. There's absolutely no value whatsoever in having the director listed there. The only way that would be interesting is if you wanted to know more about that film/show, in which case, that's what the hyperlink to it is there for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.174.65.104 ( talk) 21:36, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
Should the lead section state the genre of the films she has appeared in, as set out in a WP:RS? It would look like this:
Rosamund Mary E Pike [1] (born 27 January 1979) is an English actress. She first came to attention for playing Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day in 2002. Her best known film roles include the romance film [2] Pride and Prejudice (2005), the spy spoof [3] film Johnny English Reborn (2011), the fantasy adventure [4] Wrath of the Titans (2012), the thriller [5] Jack Reacher, and the sci-fi comedy The World's End (2013). In 2014, she starred in David Fincher's psychological thriller [6] Gone Girl, which earned her over a dozen critics awards for Best Actress of the year and nominations for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, a SAG Award, and a BAFTA Award.

Contrary to several online sources (mostly general filmography-type sites) stating that her name is 'Rosamund Mary Elizabeth Pike' (this apparently being simply an extrapolation based on the initial 'E' and what is doubtlessly a very commonly-encountered name beginning with that letter), sources such as http://companycheck.co.uk/director/915840583/MISS-ROSAMUND-MARY-ELLEN-PIKE (N.b.- I acknowledge that such sources cannot be included in an article, but it is here nonetheless for reference!) give the name as 'Ellen'. Given that this site (and others of the same sort) give the individual in question's birth year as 1979, and that there is only one record for the birth of a Rosamund Mary E. Pike in 1979 (indeed, only one appears for the entire period 1837-2006), plus the fact that no viable source provides the name 'Elizabeth', it can safely be concluded that the former Miss Pike's second middle initial stands for 'Ellen'. Just for anyone who might wish to know! (See also 'About correct date of birth' section above for her addressing the incorrect supposition that the 'E' stands for 'Elizabeth') Ashiyura ( talk) 19:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)
Congratulations on appearing on Wikipedia's main page as a "Did you know..." listing. I've been involved in the DYK process, (never successfully, I might add!) and so I know the time it takes and the coordination required between between editors...let's just say it isn't the easiest thing to accomplish. You deserve recognition, appreciation and applause. Thank you very much to all the contributing editors who made this listing possible.:The Very Best of Regards,

It seems this article all from the beginning has stated that Rosamund Pike was born at 27 January, but in other sources – like Rosamund Pike/Archive 1 at IMDb – it says she was born at 28 January. Thus, the question is which date is the right one?-- Bemland ( talk) 23:37, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
Confusingly, this business website has now changed Rosamund's birth date to December 1978! – Schneid9 ( talk) 15:37, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
User:JayCoop has effectively reverted some of my recent edits, reintroducing Pike's supposed birth date and birthplace without adding any source. The edit summaries were "Privacy? They're public figures (like Dwayne Johnson) and "Clear as day on IMDB". How is Dwayne Johnson relevant? I cannot see any discussion of privacy issues in his article or its talk page. I had previously removed the information with the edit summary "Remove date of birth and age, unsourced and may be private, see WP:DOB". WP:DOB says:
Public figures deserve some privacy. Many actresses try too keep their age private for professional reasons, and there is no evidence that Pike has released this information. It is not given in her page on her agent's website. We do not cite any source for date of birth or birthplace. The article previously cited a birth record document that is an unsuitable primary source, see WP:BLPPRIMARY.
JayCoop mentioned that IMDb gives this information ( [4]). IMDb is not a suitable source for this. Wikipedia:Citing IMDb points out that much of IMDb's content is "user contributed with minimal and unstated editorial oversight by IMDb staff", and says that IMDb is unsuitable for citation for "any potentially contentious material about living persons".
I will remove this information from the article. Please do not restore them without adding a reliable source or discussing the issue here. Verbcatcher ( talk) 01:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
I noticed somebody's added her name in Chinese recently. I'm not familiar with that practice here, is there some consensus regarding that kind of additions at English language Wikipedia? The problem occurs if one starts to add articles' names/words in different languages, like Russian, Japanese, Korean, Greek, Arabian etc, it may become quite crowded.. Is this a good information to add here, considering there are parallell articles about the subjects in the other languages' versions with spellings etc? I don't think it's so practical.-- Bemland ( talk) 02:10, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
It isn't true that Rosamund was friends with Chelsea Clinton. In a 2002 interview she said:
109.84.184.73 ( talk) 14:53, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
Please provide the social media post or newspaper interview that confirms she says she is an Aquarius, but again, that only limits the range to two months. AngusW🐶🐶F ( bark • sniff) 22:30, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
