(This is the first time that I have created a talk page. I have read the 'talk page guidelines'. I apologise in advance for any errors or breaches of protocol.) I am concerned about referring to married women by the title 'Mrs' followed by the husband's first and last names. I realise that this was common in the past, but seems offensive now. For example: "Helen (now Mrs Geoff Handbury), Anne (now Mrs Milan Kantor) and Janet (now Mrs John Calvert-Jones)." I would re-write this something like: "Helen (who later married Geoff Handbury), Anne (who later married Milan Kantor) and Janet (who later married John Calvert-Jones)." The page for Edna_Walling also refers to Dame Elizabeth Murdoch as Mrs Keith Murdoch. The Australian media would now no longer use this way of referring to a married woman, and probably has not done for a couple of decades. PeterOram (talk) 09:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Simon Harrison Actor

Under "In Popular Culture", in the sentence: "In the 2015 television docudrama Gallipoli: When Murdoch Went to War, Murdoch was portrayed by actor Simon Harrison.", the name Simon Harrison links to Simon Harrison, a British Racing Driver, not the actual British actor Simon Harrison, for whom there is no Wikipedia Page.
