Talk:Rosie Perez

message: Does anyone have a clearer, better picture of Rosie? That Do The Right Thing screenshot doesn't do her justice at all. -- Jalabi99 03:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Better Picture

message: If anyone can explain what Puerto Rican rights from America means, please clarify. The phrase is mentioned in the following passage. "Rosa Perez is also a Puerto Rican Activist. She fights for Puerto Rican rights from America. Her 2006 film Yo Soy Boricua! Pa' Que Tu Lo Sepas! (I'm Boricua, Just So You Know!) is about this fight."
::::I would think that it refers to PR independence. A lot of people want PR to not be a USA colony anymore. JBDay 20:16, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps not legally, but it is in practise! How about the mass sterilisation of PR women, for example?JBDay 22:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My guess at what is meant by the sentence is that Rosa Perez, while living in America, fights for the rights of the Puerto Rican people.  Although it could be interpreted in other ways, I think this is the most likely meaning.74.173.165.141 (talk) 16:23, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Clarification sought

message: i removed the "academy award" from the intro -- we don't need advertisintg in the intro.   rosie perez is not known for her acadaemy award rejection, it is at most a sidenote. --71.112.7.212 03:47, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  remove advertisting 

message: I've removed the following claims:
;Accent on "María" in Rosie's real name: No sources.  Probably from the same retroactive accenting as discussed in #Requested move above.
;Lydia Perez has a birth name of Fontañez and a husband named Arturo Perez: Neither of those names appear in any of the 3 sources given at the end of those two sentences.  In fact one of the Daily News articles claims that "Lydia was only 14 when she married Ventura Perez in Puerto Rico and he brought her to New York" ()  But that source is Lydia Perez herself, whose own claims are unreliable, according to the article the next day. ()  This was raised at #Who's Her Father? above also.
Also, Biography.com may or may not be reliable; it does not usually cite its sources.  (After seeing some of the stuff on Biography or The Biography Channel in the last 10 years, I can see why Wikipedia editors would find their website less than a rock-solid source.)  See discussions at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Archive 15#biography.com workgroup, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 131#Is biography.com reliable?, Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard/Archive 132#Biography.com, User talk:TheRedPenOfDoom/Archive 11#http://www.biography.com/people/demi-lovato-481444.  This is just from the intro and early life sections.  The rest of the article still needs editing, particularly since there are WP:BLP claims unsourced since 2011. --Closeapple (talk) 19:55, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
