Noteworthy?[edit]

This page was rightfully deleted. The subject is not sufficiently noteworthy.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.63.255.245] (talk)

I think she definitely deserves a page. I just did a workshop with her at a forum here in Ottawa and she's a really intelligent, smart speaker who has done a LOT in advancing the rights of sex workers in Canada and locally in Toronto. If Stephen Harper is noteworthy then so is she. 70.27.141.179 (talk) 23:15, 30 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The amount of press coverage deserves a page: the toronto star is the main newspaper in toronto and thus notable. However, perhaps such a long biography is not warranted. Notenderwiggin (talk) 01:58, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Death date[edit]

Minor correction: I changed the date of death to Tuesday. I heard about this yesterday, though i'm still in the dark on all of the other details. Darqchild (talk) 20:26, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Birth[edit]

She was born in 1981!!! Someone note it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.85.54.197 (talk) 11:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Based on what? She was born on May 29, and was 32 at time of death. That would make her birth year 1979, unless you have another source indicating otherwise. [1] 69.165.146.5 (talk) 13:06, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

She was not born on May 24th, 1979 - this information is simply wrong. Also, the date of Wendy's death is not known at this time and should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.243.179.31 (talk) 20:48, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a source that provides a different date of birth and death, provide the source. The Star obituary says she was 32 and her date of death as August 9th.70.49.181.84 (talk) 02:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Court case[edit]

The sentence "She testified in Alan Young's Constitutional Court Challenge to decriminalize the prostitution laws.[3]" should be changed to properly name the case that was before the courts. Mr. Young has several of these challenges at various levels. For example: "She testified in the Ontario Superior Court in the matter of R. v. Bedford, a constitutional challenge to decriminalize prostitution laws. That case continues and is presently on appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.197.20.198 (talk) 11:37, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done Added to the article, along with some formatting and rewording. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 15:05, 5 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
