Virgin conception is NOT Immaculate Conception[edit]

In the reference to "Agnes of God," I've changed "a novitiate nun who confesses her involvement in an immaculate conception" to say virgin conception. A conception in the womb of a virgin is NOT--contrary to popular mythology--an "immaculate conception." "Immaculate Conception" refers to the doctrine of the Catholic Church that the Virgin Mary was, by special grace, preserved free of the stain of Original Sin from the first moment of HER conception.

By the way, I checked; the article on "Agnes of God" does not make the same mistake. Uporządnicki (talk) 20:17, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth[edit]

I agree that the California birth record should not be used as a primary source. However Meg Tilly's own website at http://www.officialmegtilly.com/about/biography/#.YKQkUqi2m70 gives her date of birth as 14 February 1960. It does appear from the sources guidance to be permissible to use factual information from a subject's own website, so it could be included in the article on that basis.

That sounds good, Sbishop. Thanks for finding that source. Eddie Blick (talk) 00:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Location of home with Colin Firth[edit]

The article states “ The family moved to Maple Ridge, outside Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.” But there is no mention of this in the reference given (which is about Firth). I suspect that reference has been updated. The same reference is used in the article about Meg Tilly, where it says “ They moved from Los Angeles to a log house on five acres of mountainside property about an hour outside Vancouver near the town of Maple Ridge, British Columbia.”

I have no reason to doubt the accuracy of the statement, but a new reference is needed.

Note that Meg Tilly is currently (2021) residing in the Gulf Islands and also lived for a time in Oak Bay, on Vancouver Island. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 21:02, 5 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality[edit]

I have changed the order of the nationalities to match that which Tilly uses on her own website. https://megtillyauthor.com/bio/ “After successfully publishing six standout young adult and literary women’s fiction novels, the Canadian American actress/author decided to write the kind of books she loves to read” (she is writing in the third person) Humphrey Tribble (talk) 14:18, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
