Talk:Kristin Kreuk/Archive 1

message: On July 12, 2005, the statement "As of 2004-2005, Kreuk isn't dating her Legend of Earthsea co-star, Canadian actor Mark Hildreth" was changed to "As of 2004, Kreuk is dating her Legend of Earthsea co-star, Canadian actor Mark Hildreth" by an anonymous editor.  Some time later, this statement was removed.
Does anyone have evidence that Kristin Kreuk is dating or not dating Mark Hildreth?
(www.mark-hildreth.com is Mark's web site.)

message: I have removed fansites from the article as per WP:EL. More specifically:
"Fan sites: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite is appropriate, marking the link as such. In extreme cases, a link to a web directory of fansites can replace this link."
This does not exclude the use of one major fansite link but I don't know which one in the list qualify as a major fansite.  Obviously referenced fansites can be linked to. --PTSE 02:32, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

message: It says on this page, and here at her IMDb page, that she is 5'4". But at celbrity heights here, she is listed as 5'1" - but also as 5'3" here.
I would bet on 5'1" (so we could list her on List of famous short women - Matthew238 01:05, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree. I don't think she's as tall as 5'4" though I think 5'1" would be too short. I'd say she's closest to 5'3"davidmj926 01:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Along the same lines as Mark Hildreth, there is a line in the "Facts and Stats" division of the article that says that Kristin has been linked to Savan Devani, an investment banker in New York. I tried to find substantiating evidence to this claim by Googling it, but the only page with relevant information was this Wikipedia article!
Does anyone have conclusive evidence of this relationship? -- Gujuguy, 18:31, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I had read in interviews with Kreuk that she was Inuit and not Asian. Where did the ethnicity information come from? --Chris Griswold 16:04, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Kindly provide a link to the said interview where she clearly states that she's Inuit. With a Google search all information I get points to what's already stated here, that her mother's Indonesian Chinese (born in Indonesia) and named Deanna Che, and that her father's of Dutch ancestry and named Peter Kreuk.

message: I don't watch this series, and I don't know much about Superman, but this phrase... she stars as Clark Kent's star-crossed love in the intro... does this character really justify the Shakespeare quotation? Is she doomed by fate to love Clark Kent despite great tragedy to both parties? I'm not saying whether she is or isn't, just wonder if the phrase is applicable. - dharmabum 09:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Somebody has placed an uncited line in the article saying that Kristin is currently single, but has been linked to "Syed Hassan, an emerging British motor racing star." I have done a Google search and found nothing to back up this statement, hence I have been bold and deleted it. Gujuguy 23:20, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the following comment because it appears unsubstantiated. If it was announced Nov. 13 by now (Nov. 22) I should've been able to find at least one independent reference. It can always be put back if there is supporting material for it. Rob Banzai 00:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Kristin Kreuk is half Chinese and half Dutch.  Her mother is Chinese-Indonesian.  Let me define it.  Her mother is a citizen or resident of Indonesia of Chinese descent. Chinese-Indonesian is the same meaning as Asian-American.  (209.177.21.6 - talk)

message: Is there some reason why there's no Personal Life section?  Just curious because most celebrity/famous people articles seem to contain at least a snippet of some kind of general info (ie. marriage, dating, etc.) in that regard.  Or is it simply that there's just not that much to tell?

replies: text: I've been seeing less and less of that.  Personally I never really cared for "Personal Life" sections as I don't find them to be worthy of an encyclopedia.  If you read old Encyclopdias, you won't find who some famous person dated, etc.  You instead find that in tabloids.  The only thing I'd expect to see is if they're somehow related to another famous person.  The ShadowSkull 19:44, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

message: There have been a few revisions lately that have mistakenly changed Kristin Kreuk's character name on "Smallville" from "Lana Lang" to "Lana Lane." Perhaps you're confusing her character with "Lois Lane"? (In the middle of trying to correct these mistaken edits I accidentally reverted to one of the "Lane" versions... sorry about that.)

message: The surname Kreuk is of Dutch origin. In Dutch it isn't pronounced as KROOK as the source says (http://www.loc.gov/nls/other/sayhow.html#k), actually it is not even close to that. While I can assume that in English people will use /ˈkruːk/, because they don't have an ø (like an e with your lips rounded) in their language. Still, I believe perhaps it should be denoted that such a pronunciation differs a lot from the actual pronunciation (which would be /'krøːk/).

replies: text: We won't delete a page on those terms. She has enough notability. If anything, the content that is not backed up with references would be removed, not the entire article.

replies: text: Why don't any of you delete the ones not backed up with references? There are plenty in the article. 198.38.10.1 (talk) 22:11, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the Wiki policy is that unsourced contentious or libelous material be removed, not an entire article. In the current article, I counted 5 "citations needed" with 3 of them attached to an air/release dates for some film she appeared in (not libelous in any way I can see, and contentious? maybe under certain circumstances). You said you looked for references and found none, yet I found this information shortly after a quick visit to IMDB. Is not IMDB a reliable source for this type of information since IMDB confirms all entries that have to do with the movies themselves (air/release dates, cast, crew, etc) with the studios/companies before the edits "go live"? (First hand experience on this one — former actor). Rather than crying out to have the entire article deleted, would it not be better to spend that energy adding citations? And no, editors haven't given up as it is more likely that the editors just haven't bothered to look for citations — one of those "oh, the next guy will do it" things. — al-Shimoni  (talk) 09:18, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

message: It's clear from DwanyeWest's own citation that Kreuk gave up Karate when she was a teenager. "So, it's well known that you're into martial arts (purple belt!), though you gave it up at a young age." "I quit karate originally because it wasn't something that I was initially passionate about ... So, I had the opportunity in school to do a social studies class that was advanced, and I knew my mom would like that, so I bartered to take the advanced socials class and drop karate!" It makes the "Canadian Karateka" category unnecessary. I'd remove it (again) but he'd just put it back up (again) even though his own citation does not support the category. You win. ;) Rob Banzai (talk) 20:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This currently reads she was born in both Vancouver, British Columbiaand born in Indonesia. "Kreuk was born in Vancouver, British Columbia.[2] and is of Chinese descent, but was born in Indonesia" I'm pretty sure she was born in Vancouver, but I don't have a source to confirm. Either way, she couldn't have been born in both locations. 50.80.228.18 (talk) 08:09, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

message: "She returned as a guest star in the show's season eight for five episodes to conclude her storyline. In the first three seasons of the show she was paid $40.000 per episode, while from season four she earned $270.000 per episode."
Shouldn't that say $40,000 and $270,000 (respectively)? Where I'm from, $40.000 would mean 40 US Dollars.

message: As far as I have been able to determine, there is no standard belt system in Canada. That means that having a "purple belt" is not informative. (Actually, purple can be anywhere from next after yellow to right below brown. Its a pretty safe bet that at 13 or 14 years old, she wasn't working on her brown belt.) Since the mention of what color belt she earned at what ever studio she attended is virtually meaningless I am removing it.71.28.50.215 (talk) 20:44, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

message: I don't think her current boyfriend should be mentioned. The source being used (http://brieftake.com/interview-burden-truths-kristin-kreuk-peter-mooney-star-slade/) does not even name him, so I have continuously been removing edits that do because it is unsourced and due to the WP:BLPNAME policy. I believe he shouldn't be mentioned at all because there is no source for it being a significant relationship (claiming they are long-term in your edit summary is not enough, you need a source). —–Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 11:09, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I linked numerous policies above which you obviously haven't bothered to read. You're combining multiple sources together to reach a conclusion. None of the sources even give the surname of her supposed boyfriend; you've determined who he is by looking up the writers on her show and discovering only one has the forename that she stated. This is original research and Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 09:35, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

text: I'm not going to sift through hundreds of words of mentioned references to attempt to find the ones you supposedly used to support your claim that I violated certain rules. That is not my job. So what if a combination of sources were used to verify such information? Are you really complaining about using legitimate sources to come to a conclusive truth? Where is that against the rules? The NOR says this explicitly: "...serves to reach or imply a conclusion NOT STATED BY THE SOURCES", meaning that such sources are used to reach or imply a conclusion that is in CONTRADICTION to them, not in actual concordance with them. If the sources actually EXPLICITLY STATED the full name then there would be no need for "reaching" or "implying" a conclusion in the first place.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.56.255.219 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
