message: "Upon marriage to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G), she has converted to Judaism" - source?
:Latest reports are that she has yet to convert to Judaism. Reuters says: "The groom's Jewish heritage is also a factor [in their delayed marriage], with Fisher yet to convert." She should porbably be removed from the category "converts to Judaism" until it can be verified. The Ali G page still said he was married to her until I fixed it a little while ago. There's obviously a lot of cofusion about all this.--DreamsReign 04:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Alrighty, now that she's given birth already, let's get her a new picture. A current one would be good, unless you guys really like the pregnant one. I always thought keeping it current was a good idea.

thread_title:  is that her? 

message: I would love to see the lead changed to say Australian. And all we need is a source that states that she was indeed granted Australian citizenship, whether as a child or an adult doesn't matter. None of the regular editors can find an online source, and a number of them are quite experienced editors and know how to search. Please pop out to your library and see what you can find. I'm American, not a Brit, and don't really care which she really was just so long as we have a source to support it. Yworo (talk) 05:52, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not from Oz, but my advice would be to feel free to change it to Aus-British (or British-Aus?) if you like. Having skimmed thorough some of the discussions here I had to chuckle just a little. These mind-numbingly tedious debates over 'nationality' or 'citizenship' are so typical of wikipedia. A lot of editors have a very anal-retentive approach to these matters. The laws of citizenship and/or nationality will vary across the different countries. Some will grant citizenship if you are born in their country, irrespective of the circumstances. Others do not. In the case of Fisher, I've not followed her career too closely, although I have seen a number of interviews with her, such as when she makes appearances on chat shows such as Letterman. I've always got the impression that she was an Ozzie, from listening to her talk and the comments she makes. Of course, as has been pointed out above by another editor, it is possible to reside permanently in Oz and yet not be a full citizen. Even if this is the case with Fisher, I'd imagine that she would be entitled to full Oz citizenship if she desired. As has also been mentioned above, she would automatically be a British citizen because her parents are. She is also an actor. However does that then make her a 'British actor'? I'd question that. It seems that she spent her formative years in Oz, and that is obviously the place where she started her acting career. That should be enough to qualify here as an Oz actor, along with the evidence that she seems to identify herself as an Ozzie, even if we don't know for sure her citizenship status. I'd change it back to reflect the wider reality. So maybe Scottish-Aus, or British-Aus, or perhaps an Omani born British-Oz actor!! Theodore D (talk) 00:28, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: She's not Australian. That's the whole point. She's a British actor who established her career in Australia. End of. It is very unlikely she ever got citizenship - it is just not the done thing. Brits who move to Australia simply don't bother getting citizenship because there is no need in a country which "belongs" to your own homeland anyway. British permanent residents pretty much have ALL the rights citizens have. Most of them think the only difference is the colour of their passport. :) It's ridiculous that people keep assuming she must have citizenship just based on her having lived there for a while, or based on her accent, or based on the fact someone else mistakenly called her an Aussie. Isla is a British actor who lived in Australia while growing up and has now chosen to make the UK her home. She has said many thíngs to various different media (including clearly stating that she is Scottish), but her current home is evidence for her feeling British. She has lived more of her life in the UK and is raising her family there. Why are people intent on calling her Australian?  SaucyWench (talk) 21:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

message: There's been a couple of attempts to replace the infobox picture with a newer one, which I think isn't as representative of the subject (if shown it outwith the context of WP, I'm not sure I'd recognize it was Fisher.) The IP requesting addition doesn't seem to want to discuss it but I'm willing to seek wider input as to what other editors think... Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 20:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the original 2009 Golden Globes picture of her better represents what she looks like on-screen. The newer picture is still decent though, just not as good. InternetMeme (talk) 06:17, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

text: In technical photographic terms, I'd agree it's a decent headshot. But in terms of representing the subject it doesn't - not even in terms of what she looks like on/off screen but in the sense that anyone pictured in the "what were they doing" section of a gossip magazine probably isn't representative of how the subject looks outside the particular second the shutter was pressed. Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 13:30, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reinserted the photograph of Fisher in 2012 lower in the article. I'm not sure how one can't recognize Fisher in that photograph, if smiling and being happy isn't "representative" enough, not sure what is. Anyway, if the majority of people don't feel it's lead, that's fine. I do think it should be used though, especially in light of the above two "decent" words. Personally I think it's superior to the lead, but I ain't gonna fight for it. :P – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 18:48, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That seems like a good idea. It's certainly good enough to be placed later in the article. In answer to you puzzlement: It is a glamour shot, with makeup, lighting, etc' used to manipulate her overall countenance. InternetMeme (talk) 04:57, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That said, there's a better shot of her from Cannes last week that's been uploaded at commons a few days ago  - which would potentially be a featured image candidate if not for the low resolution. I'd rather go with that in the Lead and then this debate would have to be over whether the 2009 or 2012 should appear later (I don't think there's call for three). I appreciate you added the uncropped original  Keraunoscopia, but I don't see it as a photograph of her "smiling and being happy" because her eyes don't match the smile - its as though she's been shocked or surprised by something.  Stuart.Jamieson (talk) 05:30, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It's actually not a glamour shot—see glamour photography and the lead image for Julie Delpy for examples of glamour shots: controlled environment, controlled lighting, controlled pose. Red carpet photography is anything but glamorous and lighting conditions are usually atrocious (a dozen flashes from any which way), etc etc, and she's wearing make-up like any female celebrity would when stepping outside in front of the public. I would argue the 2012 image is precisely the same as the 2009 and 2013 images in terms of "manipulat[ing] her overall countenance". But I think that's beside the point. You guys have a feel for what's best for the article and I submit myself to your decisions—and it's nice to run into editors who are actually pleasant! :P —though my only issue with the 2013 image is that distracting hand. Finally, Stuart.Jamieson, I didn't add the uncropped original; it's still someone else's crop, though if you'd prefer that uncropped version, by all means make it so! – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 06:40, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry Keraunoscopia, think there was some confusion there - I meant you added the photograph to commons originally after which mycanon cropped the image and added the new version to commons. The implication wasn't that the cropped or uncropped version was better - it was simply to affirm that even though I dislike the picture I wasn't dismissing the hard work you had put into finding and transferring the 2012 image from flickr.

message: This is listed under filmography, as a film work from 2002. I can't find any source for a film with that name. There's a 2002 reality TV mini-series about famous people and their dogs, but Isla Fisher is not listed in its IMDb page, nor in Wikipedia's stub for it. She might well be featured in an episode, but if there's no source, I'd remove the entry altogether. At the very least it needs to be moved away from the film section. I'd also change the order of TV and film, to match what it's commonly done on Wikipedia (i.e. film first), especially considering film work is her main occupation she's mostly known for.
