Talk:Portia de Rossi

message: That's definitely not a picture of PdR -- the only picture that I can find from the Advocate looks totally different. Could someone with more knowledge of the issue commnet on whether this uncertainty is just a function of the picture's small size or it's actually not a picture of her?

replies: text: Looks like here to me. There is a link on :Image:Portia.jpg to a page with a larger version of the image where you can more easily identify her. Qutezuce 00:48, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That isn't Portia de Rossi.  Google image for Portia de Rossi and you'll find dozens of images with one thing in common:  white skin.  The image you've linked to is of Portia Simpson-Miller, the president-elect of Jamaica.  Maybe someone accidentally overwrote one portia.jpg with another?  -Kasreyn 06:36, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, someone overwrote the image yesterday. See my reply in the next section. Qutezuce 06:52, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Please stop adding the photo of Portia Simpson-Miller to this page.  I'm hoping it was an accident.  If not, please stop vandalizing this page.  -Kasreyn 06:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My browser was caching the old image, someone uploaded another image overtop the real image of Portia de Rossi and my browser kept the image and the Image's page both cached so it was always a picture of Portia de Rossi from my viewpoint. Since no one provided an edit summary when removing the image I assumed that I was fixing vandalism by restoring the image. Qutezuce 06:51, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

DID YOU EVEN READ THE ARTICLE? IT TELLS YOU WHY SHE CHOSE PORTIA.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.36.190.2 (talk) 22:32, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why did she changer her name to an Italian/Latin name? 

message: Is she, in fact, LEGALLY and FACTUALLY married? If so, in what jurisdiction. Not anti-gay, just pro-facts.

thread_title:  most beautiful openly gay lesbian 

message: The portion on her personal life is clearly POV.  Why state she is "openly lesbian" when Wikipedia articles do not list people as "openly straight"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.248.180.183 (talk) 06:27, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The only reason to mention it explicitly is that it has been a topic of coverage in reliable sources. Otherwise, there would be no reason to mention it. Imagine that, an article that lists someone's relationships, where they happen to be or have been with members of the same sex, and letting the fact speak for itself without remarking on it—without giving advance warning, as it were, that "she's a lesbian!". —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I want to add that it's absurd to write "openly". If a person isn't openly gay, then it's unlikely to be a good idea to write "(s)he's gay" at all. And what does "openly" really mean? Does it require that the person have made a public statement to the effect, "I am gay!" Does it mean the person has never spoken publicly about his or her sexual orientation at all but dates members of the same sex without hiding it but also without feeling the need to announce, "Yes, this is a homosexual relationship that I'm having!"? I think that if an article says "(s)he's gay", and that if sufficient justification exists for mentioning that or even implying it, the "openly" part can be left unspoken. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says she was born in Horsham but the factsheet underneath the photo says Geelong. Which is it ?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.113.104.88 (talk) 03:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

message: An IP changed the text to read that the lupus was misdiagnosed. All sources I saw doing a google news search had something similar to the somewhat vague wording of "was told that she had lupus." For now I reworded the sentence to something vaguer, following the sources, but there's still the matter of the category. Is there anyone with access to her book who could check if there's anything on whether or not the lupus was in fact misdiagnosed? Siawase (talk) 16:51, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lupus? 

message: Portia spoke of the disease on the Ellen DeGeneres show.  She was anorexic and bulimic to where she was 82 pounds.  If somebody could write more about this, she discusses her experiences in her new book Unbearable Lightness.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Settingprecedent (talk • contribs) 23:35, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Her anorexia and the book is already mentioned in the personal life section. If you want to expand the coverage, be bold and edit the article (but be mindful about sourcing any additions) or suggest more specific additions here. Siawase (talk) 10:58, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anexoria  

message: The earlier discussion regarding what last name Portia now uses professionally still stands, but I just noticed in the Zap2It article from July that I posted regarding the music video appearance that she's identified as Portia DeGeneres. I personally think Zap2It is in error here, but since it's a reputable (LA Times-run website) source that's more recent than the 2010 sources previously cited, it may do no harm to double check that she hasn't indeed chosen to use DeGeneres as her professional name, as people do change their minds about such things. 68.146.80.110 (talk) 17:28, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

message: So married doesnt mean legally married any more, so its just a throw away term. They got married when it was not legally possible. Im off to up date trumps page as I just married him.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon19801 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Two things: As the article and sources clearly state, de Rossi and DeGeneres are married. Also, as Trump is already married and no state currently allows for polygamous marriages, he'll have some more questions to answer if you have any sources for your claim. - SummerPhDv2.0 15:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
