message: Yvonne was born in 1982. What needs to be done to make this a permanent change on this page?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.151.49.131 (talk) 18:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't know if she really speaks Polish so fluent. I'm from Poland and I can hardly understand what she had said(I think she had said sth about mother). Polish is not as easy as for example English ;-)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.205.162.136 (talk) 01:36, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I realize that there are rules relating to spam on wikipedia (as well there should be), but I noticed fansites keep getting taken off as spam.  Is that really spam?  People coming to wikipedia are looking for more information about an actress, and a fansite may be one of the best sources they can get.  Far more in-depth than random articles imo.  It seems to me that any fansites should be welcome on the page of actors/actresses as long as it is legit. --66.165.191.253 (talk) 12:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Read WP:EL, BLP:EL and WP:SPAM. This isn't the appropriate page to discuss wikipedia policy, and wikipedia isn't a collection of links. Especially note what it says in BLP: "External links in biographies of living persons must be of high quality and are judged by a stricter standard than for other articles." tedder (talk) 20:48, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't interpret any of that in a way that indicates fansites are not appropriate.  But since 'judged by a stricter standard' is completely subjective, I guess I lose.  A sizeable fansite with a sizeable community about a given person seems like it would be a welcome link. Thanks for the response though. --66.165.191.253 (talk) 19:33, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The relevant bit is WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided: "11. Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority (this exception is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for biographies)."

replies: text: That may be so, but this page is pretty weak. I'm sure anyone looking for more information on this actress would welcome a link to a fansite.  I really wish people would learn when it's appropriate to bend the guidelines so as to honor the spirit of the law rather than the letter.  Could you actually describe what would be bad about linking this site without linking to a WP policy page to back up your unconvincing and weakly articulated argument?  I would have so much more sympathy if this WP article was more than a few paragraphs of fluff when the actor in question deserves much more.  69.181.230.108 (talk) 09:26, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fansites 

message: I've removed the designation since the article really no longer qualifies as a stub.  The reason for the shortness of the article isn't because it is in desperate need of expansion, but because Strahovski is a young actress and there's little encyclopedic information of note to add.  —AlanK (talk • contribs) 18:22, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I think the other photo in the infobox was perfectly acceptable. It did not partially obscure her face? Shall we keep it in the article somehow? Personally I would like to see the WonderCon photo restored to the infobox and the Comic-Con photo used elsewhere down by "Career". Elizium23 (talk) 14:19, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: FYI: the current photos under evaluation are: :File:Yvonne Strahovski TIFF 2011.jpg and :File:Yvonne strahovski (cropped).jpg. Frankly, I have no objection to keeping both in the article, but I think the more recent one should be in the infobox, as she is currently active and it will more accurately describe her look. Elizium23 (talk) 02:06, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The TIFF photo is for Killer Elite (2011) and the Wondercon photo is for Chuck (2012) but that's a minor quibble. I've added the Chuck photo beside the Chuck paragraph. --99.225.107.203 (talk) 04:04, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I prefer the 2011 Toronto photo discussed above over the proposed Comicon 2012 photo, because in the Comicon photo, her face is obscured by a microphone, and it's a less flattering shot. I have preserved the Comicon photo in the article space. Elizium23 (talk) 19:23, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

message: Her last name is presumably "Strahovska", since it's the Polish custom to only give the i ending on men's names and the a ending for women. While I understand the policy under WP:COMMONNAME would require the spelling as it is now, should there be some kind of footnote about this? After all, it means this encyclopedia is not giving her correct legal name.  __64.82.141.78 (talk) 02:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As she's born in Australia and no Poland, it is very likely that her legal birth name is indeed Strahovski, unless proven otherwise. There's no declension of last names in Australia. That's a usual 'issue' for people born in diaspora. Place Clichy (talk) 23:03, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
