Where now?

This article suggests she now lives on a farm in Queensland. Any references for this? After Number 96 and before Sons and Daughters (early 1980s) she lived quietly on a banana plantation in Queensland but last I heard she was in Melbourne, married to actor Adrian Wright, and putting her name to a weight-loss program.

Assessment completed for Abigail (actress)

As per either a recent request at section for assessment requests or because this article was listed as fully or partly unassessed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/Assessment I have just now completed a rating of the article and posted my results to this page. Those results are detailed above in the template box. Unfortunately, due to the volume of articles that need to be assessed, I am unable to leave detailed comments other than to make the following brief observation: article is at start stage, her notoriously being first to show her breasts on television (in 1973) lifts her to a mid importance rating in my view

However if you have specific questions, please write to me on my talk page and as time permits I will try to provide you with my reasoning. Please put my talk page on your watchlist if you do ask such a question because in the case of these responses I will only post my answer underneath your question.

ALSO if you do not agree with the rating you can list it in the "#Requesting an assessment|section for assessment requests" below, and someone will take a look at it.--VS ^talk 13:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Number96 2.jpg

Image:Number96 2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Surname

Do we have a reliable source for Abigail's surname? If not, it should be removed. RJ4 (talk) 08:40, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since no reference has been provided, I am going ahead and removing the surname.RJ4 (talk) 18:27, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of reliable sources in relation to her surname [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]... Dan arndt (talk) 21:56, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

According to Abigail herself, those references to her surname are all wrong, and merely reference each other. Since she's not providing her birth certificate, I guess there is no way to prove it. But it's definitely not "Rogan". She has no idea how that name became associated with her. Therin of Andor (talk) 13:11, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Skeleton infobox removal per MOS

Per WP:MOS (Wikipedia:Manual of Style (infoboxes)): “The most important group to consider are the casual readers of Wikipedia, who will never do any significant editing. Infobox templates that contain many blank fields, question marks and unknowns present an unprofessional appearance, diminishing Wikipedia’s reputation as a high-quality encyclopedia.” 68.175.106.35 (talk) 05:31, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For her… what?

‘In 1985, she became well known for her in the successful series, Sons and Daughters’

Well known for her… what?

This article has other typos, too. 203.59.215.236 (talk) 09:11, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
