Talk:Vanessa Ferlito

message: The current picture is deeply unflattering. Couldn't this be improved...? 213.112.133.174 (talk) 15:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I came to the talk page to suggest this as well, but seeing as it's already been mentioned, I merely second it.  The pic up now could easily be from one of the 10,000 zombie flicks released in the past years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rtelkin (talk • contribs) 00:38, 7 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wikipedia has very strict rules about what can be used as an image in an article – see Wikipedia:Image use policy. As a result, our hands are tied – unless and until somebody uploads a "better" fair-use image of Ferlito, we're stuck. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:21, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

text: I have no objection to including that image in the article somewhere, if it's meets the non-free use standards of Wikipedia. But it is not a better "portrait image" for the infobox, which should just be a headshot. And I doubt a crop of the image you are suggesting will be a better choice either. But, yeah – if the image can be used, add it elsewhere in the article. FWIW. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:00, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Better Pic? 

message: I worked directly with Vanessa to release this image for her page (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Vanessa_Ferlito_Photoshoot.jpg). It is far better than the current photo which was taken over 15 years ago when she was pregnant.@IJBall Ross.matlin (talk) 18:48, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Revisiting portrait image (Dec. 2022) 

message: Vanessa Ferlito does have a son. The issue here is to find a reliable source. And from what I have read, Vanessa is very protective of her private life.
I have found one source which confirms both the name and the birthdate, but there is a typo in the text as well. 
https://ecelebrityfacts.com/vanessa-ferlito
There is also a picture of her with her son here https://platzer-twinimages.photoshelter.com/image/I0000g7sBxRINNy0
There is another source here: http://www.tvovermind.com/ncis-new-orleans/ncis-new-orleans-getting-know-vanessa-ferlito-aka-tammy-gregorio
But they seem to have used Wikipedia as a source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skoen (talk • contribs) 10:36, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: ecelebrityfacts.com states about themselves:  and  That almost certainly rules them out as a WP:RS as per WP:USERGENERATED. The source we have now is a WP:RS that at least confirms the general details. While a source that confirms the actual date-of-birth might be nice, at this point it's probably not 100% necessary. Another WP:RS source confirming a son vs. a daughter would be nice... Ah, found one . --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:30, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  About her son 

message: Pinging ,
What are you talking about. I literally just cited a branch owned by the University of Southampton in the lead section. DON'T YOU DARE tell me that isn't a reliable source. In case you are so stupid, heres the source again. . I'm gonna be bold and add it again. Koridas (Heyyyyyyy) 16:26, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: You are ignoring the subject above this one. Why would the University of Southampton be a WP:RS source for her date of birth? Where are they getting that information from? Are they just webscraping it?! No, in this case – there are conflicting sources, and as was agreed in the subject above this one, we are keeping the DOB out on WP:BLPPRIVACY grounds. Don't just disruptively add it back unless you can demonstrate consensus for that here. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 16:28, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
