Talk:Nancy Cartwright/Archive 1

message: Personally, I think that whole thing about making fun of Scientology is mean-spirited, is not a neutral point of view, should be removed, and the submitter reprimanded.
Other than that, it appears fine.
scientology is ridiculous.
You guys should really sign & date your posts. I agree that the negative Scientology references were inapporopriate, but it looks like somebody reacted by removing all references to Scientology from the article, which isn't right either. It should be mentioned. I've added a sentence about it at the end. —Chowbok 04:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: On 18 May 2007 I sent a request for photo to Nancy Cartwright (email from her website). --Zureks 21:09, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I received a photo (in the article already) and quite a bit of text to use: 
Emmy Award-winning actress Nancy Cartwright is best known as the voice of spike-headed underachiever Bart Simpson, but also gives voice to Ralph Wiggum, Nelson Muntz, Todd Flanders and various others in the town of Springfield.  In addition to her work on THE SIMPSONS, Cartwright portrays Chuckie in the cable series Rugrats, as well as Rufus the Naked Mole Rat in the cable series Kim Possible, Todd on Disney’s “The Replacements” and is in production on a new series, “Betsy’s Kindergarten Adventures”.  With over two decades at the mic, Cartwright has lent her voice to characters on various other animated series, including ³Richie Rich,² ³Animaniacs,² ³Pinky and the Brain,² ³The Critic,² ³God, The Devil and Bob,² ³Mike, Lu & Og,² as well as Chuck Jones¹ final work, ³Timberwolf.² 
While rarely seen in the world of voice acting, Cartwright is not camera shy. She has portrayed memorable roles in numerous television series and movies, including ³Fame,² ³Empty Nest,² ³Cheers,² ³The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,² ³Twilight Zone-The Movie² and ³Godzilla² as well as the lead in the TV movie ³Marian Rose White.²  
Cartwright received an Emmy Award and an Annie Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Voice-Over Performance as Bart Simpson.  They are displayed alongside the multiple SIMPSONS Emmys; her Emmys for ³Animaniacs² and ³Pinky, Elmyra and The Brain²; a People¹s Choice Award; and the DramaLogue Award she received for her one-woman play, ³In Search of Fellini.²  Her one-woman show, based on her book, world-premiered in August 2004 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. 
Cartwright’s production company, SportsBlast, and partners Turner Sports Interactive hosting Nascar.com were recognized with the Silver Award by the Houston Film Festival for their original series ³The Kellys.²  The Kellys also received an Aurora Gold Award  and Cartwright Entertainment received an Aurora Gold for her “Day in the Life” documentary.  
Cartwright actively supports many nonprofit organizations that help children, including Famous Fone Friends, Make-a-Wish Foundation, The Way to Happiness Foundation and World Literacy Crusade. She is the Honorary Mayor of the North Valley and actively participates in her local community.  She is co-founder of Happy House, a non-profit organization dedicated to Building Better Families. She is a member of Women in Film, ASIFA , Women in Animation and The Chouinard Foundation. 
Cartwright's best-selling autobiography, ³My Life as a Ten-Year-Old Boy² (Hyperion/Bloomsbury), takes a behind-the-scenes look at her unique life as it relates to the phenomenon of THE SIMPSONS. She recorded an updated version of the autobiography, which was released as an audio book in 2004.

thread_title:  Birthdate and birthplace information.  Again? 

message: Not sure why Actress Cartwright's credits were vandalized on the main page to indicate that she's best known for voicing 'Ronald McDonald', as well as 'Nelson Muntz and other regular characters on The Wiggles,' but I've corrected the information (as well as the misspelling of 'actor' as 'acter' that broke the actual link to Cartwright's page.  Not sure why someone would want to vandalize a pretty obscure page like this, but it's fixed for now.  Future attempts will be reverted; attempts at trolling me into a 3RR violation will fail.

As a result, this information is to be considered to be contentious, and must not be added back to the article unless it can be supported by good references, in accordance with the biographies of living persons policy.

message: Does Cartwright play someone on the separate, narrowly-defined Pinky and the Brain series? Or does the article refer to her role in "In the Garden of Mindy" in Animaniacs, and/or her role as Rudy Mookich on Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain? --Kletta (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Nancy was born on November 1, 1959, not October 25, 1957.
:What is your source for this? I've been checking her book and haven't found anything yet. However, the chalkboard gag for Dead Putting Society is "I am not a 32 year old woman", and that aired in 1990 after her birthday, so she would have been born in 57. -- Scorpion0422 22:46, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthday 

message: Cartwright met writer Warren Murphy on her birthday in 1987 and married him two months later. In her book, she described Murphy as "my personal laugh track."[60] The couple had two children, Lucy and Jack, before divorcing in 2005.[61]
Cartwright was raised a Roman Catholic[62] but joined the Church of Scientology in 1989.[63] She recalls that she joined because "[she] was bummed because [she] hadn't had a committed relationship in my life, [she] was rapidly approaching 30 and [she] wanted to get married and have kids. She thought that maybe [she] could find a relationship by going to a church." 
Does anyone else see that joining the Church of Scientology two years after her marriage, in the hope of finding a relationship, is a contradiction?  Risker (talk) 21:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, there was an error - they met in 1988 - but it is possible that she discovered scientology, got married, THEN joined the church. I'll do some more Newsbank checking. -- Scorpion0422 22:38, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: Per this edit, OK, let's discuss. This information appears to be fully sourced by reliable, verifiable sources. The editor who removed it claimed the information was irrelevant, but since this is a biography about Nancy Cartwright, and this information pertains to a relationship from Cartwright's life, I can hardly see why that is the case. (Perhaps some of the religious practices info should be trimmed, I'm open to that discussion.) What is the justification for its removal? — Hunter Kahn 05:17, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

text: *Well, this obviously changes things. If his death wasn't related to Cartwright before, this lawsuit means it certainly is now. I think we can justify adding the info back to the article, along with information about the lawsuit... — Hunter Kahn 12:43, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Having actor and voice actor is redundant, as shown on many articles, especially actors of anime series who act in live-action as well. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 23:58, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't agree.  An actor will appear with their face/body seen.  A voice actor (or voice artist) is someone whose voice is heard, often differently toned or with a specific type of dialect not equivalent to the voice actor's own everyday voice.  Prior to television, those who appeared on radio were often voice actors, using vocal intonation and style different from their own voice.  This genre of acting in this situation is similar.  Further, one can be an actor as well as a voice actor -- they aren't synonymous.  Voice acting is like a specialty within acting.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  00:07, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: They may not be synonymous, but like genres, such as putting pop, country pop, then country, is redundant because they are sub and main-genres. Same as voice actor is a sub of actor. Just like stage actor being a sub. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 00:11, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: In any case, voice actor/voice artist should not be removed from this article as the subject's voice artistry is what she is known for. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  00:17, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: If you make that case, then just voice actor should be included. Are you saying that for example, any one who has done the voice of Spider-Man should be considered a voice actor? -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 00:20, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: My general thoughts are this: if one's filmography consists solely of voice roles (e.g. Mel Blanc or Jim Cummings), credit him/her as a voice actor. If person has done live action only or both live action and voice roles (e.g. Tom Hanks or Tim Curry), credit him/her as an actor. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:27, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Reasonable.  Blanc and Cummings were known for their voice work, Hanks and Curry known for their acting.  Seems like a no-brainer to me.  That said, Hanks and Curry have done both acting and voice-work.  I don't think it's right to not include voice-acting in their articles.  Prominence in listing, however, should be to their acting.  Same can be said for Cartwright: prominence in listing to her voice work, but she is also an actress.  I'm not sure what the big deal is, frankly.  Why is listing both in this case an issue at all? -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:13, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Just like I said before, same as for musical genres. Voice actor is a subcategory of actor, not a whole category in itself. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 01:45, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: And your point in relation to Wikipedia policy and guidelines is? -- WV ● ✉ ✓  01:48, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: So, you're telling me  to find a policy when you can't find one on your own. It's two to one here with removal of voice actor. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 02:09, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

text: Actually , it is basically what Snuggums was suggesting. And, saying film and television actor, and voice actor is redundant due to voice acting consisting of mainly television or film. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 02:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

text: I absolutely agree, .  Not a sub-genre, not a sub-category, but a completely different type of acting/artistry.  That, in combination with there being no guideline- or policy-related reason to remove it - keeping it makes sense. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  03:09, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Apologies, Joseph, but I have to disagree with this on two fronts. One, talent agencies' web sites suggest that video game voicing is at least as prevalent, if not moreso, than television and film. Second, differentiating the two clarifies live-action performances from (usually) animated performances. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 03:04, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: You know what. Forget it. I don't care anymore. It probably won't matter, I'm getting blocked soon anyway and I know it. I honestly now give zero shits about this now. If someone reverts me, I don't care who it is, even if I am correct (and apparently rarely ever am), I'm just gonna leave it alone. Fuck it, I don't care. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:08, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  stop, please? My opinion is exactly that: my opinion, based on what I perceive to be the facts and Wikipedia policy and guidelines. I am not against you; I am not for you. I am not against Winkelvi; I am not for Winkelvi. (Same with Snuggums, for that matter.) I am for helping to make Wikipedia the best it can be. So are you. It's the whole reason we're here. So please stick around and help make Wikipedia the best it can be. —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 03:16, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm all for doing what we can in the way of editor retention, but in all honesty, this is what he does.  He doesn't get his way, he gets pissed off when people don't side with him, and then he pulls the diva card.  If he sticks with his previous play book, some kind of grand departure notice at his user space regarding his absence should follow.  Several editors in the recent past have talked him off the ledge (including me and Snuggums) and, frankly, at this point, it might be better for him and the community if he leaves for a period of time (like he's done previously).  Give him time to pout and hopefully think about his behavior and why he gets so frustrated, and when he returns at a later date, hopefully he will have a newer, better perspective and editing plan. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  03:23, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, we all have varying degrees of reaction when we don't "get our way". Wikipedia would never again have an edit war if we didn't.  —ATinySliver/ATalkPage 03:27, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yeah, and after a while we get the point that we don't/can't win them all, not everyone is going to agree with us no matter how awesome we think we are as editors, and there are times when we are just plain wrong.  We grow -- or we are supposed to grow -- as editors and work collegially with others.  Sometimes that means just walking away from something we don't understand or agree with when several others are on the opposite side of our point/argument.  He's not getting it.  I think it has something to do with his chronological immaturity, but nonetheless, while perfection isn't required, competence and working cooperatively is.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  03:33, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

text: I never said I was leaving, but I will no longer act within the same fashion I have, or no longer for the most part make any major edits, and I said, if I get reverted once even though I am correct, I will just leave it alone and won't even touch it. Snuggums has actually never done anything to me, which is why that editor is the only one I ask questions to if I need any assistance, unlike you who decides to attack me based on my age all the time, and other personal attacks. And you really think that helps me in any way? You really think you're behavior towards me would make me want to make any sort of return if I did leave!? And you make it pretty clear you don't want me here, which is why I'm going for the most part, off. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:31, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Like I said above, you don't get it.  If you did, you wouldn't be blaming me for anything irrespective of whatever I have or have not done. -- WV ● ✉ ✓  03:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't admit I'm wrong? I can if you check one of the previous Meghan Trainor discussions. I have never once seen you admit you're wrong. And I'm blaming you because you tell me about policy, yet always violate by telling me about my "chronological immaturity" which clearly is a personal attack. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:39, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

text: The only reason I put my age up there is it was part of a introduction page I had before I got rid of it. A lot of people have their ages on here, granted they made their own infobox, but that's irrelevant. And immature? Yet, I am a sophomore, and many people think I'm a Senior? Check your report you made and you'll see. And it's pretty obvious you care about physical age, as you haven't started calling me immature till now, and only commented on my age. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:57, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
