Background and family[edit]

...is sadly lacking. I guess she must also be quite sickly, with seeming constant references to stress and strain (she appears this way too). I guess she hasn't come from coal mining stock! Is the Muswell Hill location code? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.218.42 (talk) 11:31, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Trivia section[edit]

Due to persistent POV pushing by Darth007, I have deleted the Trivia section altogether - as mandated by WP:LIVING. Other editors may wish to incorporate some of the trivia into the body of the article - but do bear in mind that YouTube is not generally considered a reliable encyclopaedic source.

Photo[edit]

This page needs a photo as Lauren Laverne is hot. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.153.217 (talk) 21:18, 30 May, 2007 (UTC)

Now that one's been added, I think it could use a more flattering one--NeF (talk) 12:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She does NOT look like courtney love on a bad day! Lets keep it anyway? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.198.88.28 (talk) 22:23, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Photo of lauren could be more flattering. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.184.4 (talk) 13:30, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tone[edit]

I've just added the inappropriate tone tag to this article: I would stick around to tidy it up, but I don't really have the time just now. Specific areas of concern:

"In all, Kenickie achieved four top 40 hits and a top ten album and became darlings of the British music press, due to their refreshing style and outspoken views."
"Laverne became just as famous for her funny and acerbic interview style"

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lauren Laverne/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

It's actually a quite well structured summary. Covers all the main fields she has been involved in. Structured with photo and sensible headings for sections.

Has she presented Desert Island Discs?[edit]

I am sure I have heard that Lauren Laverne has stood in for Kirsty Young as a host of Desert Island Discs, and her first castaway was Tom Daley. If this is accurate, it could go in the article. Vorbee (talk) 10:37, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

She has indeed: see here. JezGrove (talk) 11:17, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Her page is being vandalized daily by the same user. Can anything be done to prevent this?

Tomcuth (talk) 11:17, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hear, hear. There is no place for vandalism here on Wikipedia. I demand sanctions on this vandal. Note that the vandal could well be Tomcuth. ~~me~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.76.198 (talk) 07:12, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure when she reads your comments, Lauren Lavern will be quite miffed. Good work! /s Tomcuth (talk) 18:36, 19 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tomcuth, can you confirm that you are the vandal? This has all the makings of a false flag operation. Please be honest. Thanking you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.76.198 (talk) 06:55, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
