I included a plot section. Took most of it from the German version, due to laziness.--Gavin1234 11:53, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Lame entry

The plot section of this is incredibly lame and should be removed until someone can write a better overview/synopsis.

Without you by Renee Zellweger

the wiki link to the song Without you by Renee Zellweger directs you to the song by Badfinger, therefore is invalid (even in the cover versions). I am just reading this page after seeing the movie and do not intend to do any edits on this page, can somebody please fix. If nobody fixes within 24 hours I will fix by removing wiki link all together.--Theoneintraining (talk) 00:13, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Bridget Jones's Diary (film)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bridget Jones's Diary (film)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "twice_shy":

• From Colin Firth: Steiner, Susie (31 March 2001). "Twice Shy". The Guardian. London. Retrieved 20 May 2008.
• From Pride and Prejudice (1995 TV series): Steiner, Susie (31 March 2001). "Twice Shy". The Guardian. Retrieved 2008-05-20. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)
• From Bridget Jones: Steiner, Susie (31 March 2001). "Twice Shy". The Guardian. Retrieved 2008-05-20. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 06:24, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Moving trivia about birthdays of Hugh Grant and Colin Firth to Talk

Moving this (self-labelled) trivia here. We try to avoid having this sort of thing in articles, and it seemed out of place where it was.

Trivia: Hugh Grant, who portrays Daniel Cleaver, is only one day older than Colin Firth, who portrays Mark Darcy. Grant was born on September 9, 1960, and Firth on September 10, 1960.

If anybody can re-add it to the article in graceful way, I have no objection.

Merge soundtrack article?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

---

The article "Bridget Jones's Diary: Music from the Motion Picture", while successful in charts, contains content that most likely matches the content seen in the film article's "Soundtrack" section. Most of the soundtrack album contains old and new recordings of existing (i.e. previously released) songs. Furthermore, I think the film article can tolerate the soundtrack article's content, like charts and certifications. I doubt the soundtrack article can develop more and more, and the soundtrack album is split into two volumes. --George Ho (talk) 08:38, 6 November 2021 (UTC)

Update: I'll take this as either no objections or lack of discussion. I have merged the soundtrack article. Please feel free to revert if you object. --George Ho (talk) 03:13, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

I have reverted this merge per WP:BRD since no one added their opinion to this notable album having its own article per WP:GNG and WP:NALBUM. Aspects (talk) 00:29, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
