Talk:Patricia Heaton

message: violet/riga persists in stating that Heaton starred in three pilots that failed to become series, despite my advising her otherwise on her talk page.  As proof, I offer the following:

What more does a person need to accept the fact he's wrong???  64.12.116.68 22:58, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Please don't be quick to insult.  I am not persisting in stating blah... I know nothing about this person but am simply trying to fix an edit war here. Please stop reverting to a version which is not acceptable – I suggest you read the talk and history of the article before making such changes.  Fix the change rather than revert. violet/riga (t) 23:03, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Please be aware of the 3RR – continued reversion will result in you being blocked.  Please discuss things here first. violet/riga (t) 23:09, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: violet/riga also persists in misdefining the purpose of Feminists for Life by limiting its focus to abortion, which is NOT the case.  (S)he admits (s)he knows nothing about Heaton yet keeps interfering with her bio, then claims (s)he's only "trying to fix an edit war." There wouldn't be an "edit war" if (s)he stopped playing with the facts!!!! And don't accuse ME of "reverting" - I'm simply correcting the false data YOU insist on adding!  64.12.116.68 23:12, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: If you looked at the history you would note that the edit war is with another user (ie. not you) that has withdrawn their writing.  We are not allowed to use that version any more (well, that is their claim) and have to rewrite it.  I have attempted to do so.  Please edit this current version and expand it rather than revert it to the disallowed version.  Do you understand what I'm trying to say?  Stop with the insults; I'm not trying to revert your  edits nor am I trying to limit the scope of anything. violet/riga (t) 23:15, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Series vs. Pilots

message: Apparently Violetriga doesn't understand that Wikipedia encourages contributors to enhance articles, since he or she keeps reverting the Heaton entry to her poorly-written version.  Furthermore, he or she insists on misdescribing the purpose of Feminists for Life by trying to make it sound like their sole concern is abortion. It's one thing to think your writing is so wonderful it shouldn't be altered by others, quite another to intentionally distort the facts.  Why hasn't she been banned for frequent vandalism of this article???? 152.163.100.68 12:38, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do I get the feeling I'm banging my head against the wall with some people here?  Read the history comments and the writing above.  I'm going to have to RFC this soon and that's just plain ridiclous. violet/riga (t) 12:41, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you should bang your head against the wall until you knock some sense into it!  WHO do you think you are, the be-all and end-all of Wikipedia?  Never mind that you're a dull writer - why is it you consider removal of data and a misrepresentation of the facts to be an "enhancement"? Heaton's father is a renowned sportswriter, yet you keep deleting that fact.  Heaton has received honors other than the Emmy for Raymond, yet you keep deleting that fact. The agenda of Feminists for Life involves much more than abortion issues, yet you keep deleting that fact.  WHAT'S WITH YOU? 152.163.100.68 12:51, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I refuse to discuss this any more with somebody who clearly has no interest in looking at the facts.  Revert it once more and I will block you for 24 hours, simple as that. violet/riga (t) 17:55, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Changed my mind - such silliness is not worth my time.  Placed on RFC. violet/riga (t) 19:21, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Clearly violet/riga is on a demented power trip.  How else do you explain her insistence on removing pertinent data and distorting facts in this entry an endless number of times???  When she is confronted with her ridiculous antics, she responds by stating, " I refuse to discuss this any more with somebody who clearly has no interest in looking at the facts," yet SHE is the one who refuses to listen to reason.  As already stated above, Heaton's father is a renowned sportswriter, she has received honors other than the Emmy for Raymond, and the agenda of Feminists for Life involves much more than abortion issues - yet Violetriga keeps removing all this data without explaining why! She removes the description of Stage Three, and all of Heaton's made-for-TV film credits - this is her idea of an "enhancement"? Her obsession with destroying a well-written entry with her ridiculous changes is disturbing and needs to be addressed by an administrator ASAP. 152.163.100.68 22:29, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I am an admin, and you clearly have no idea how to conduct yourself in a sensible manner. violet/riga (t) 23:12, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are an administrator, how do you justify removing pertinent data and distorting facts as an "enhancement"?  It is I who have been sensible throughout this "war" you started, clearing stating my case for maintaining the entry as is, whereas you have continued to revert it to your badly-written ("she got the part" - truly a literary masterpiece!) skeleton of an article for no reason other than the fact you seem to be obsessed with keeping it the way you want it written.  Who at Wikipedia decided you're administrator material? I'd be interested in knowing what the standards are if someone like yourself can attain this status! 152.163.100.68 12:29, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

text: Your explanation is ludicrous.  In no way have you justified deleting pertinent data or misdescribing the goals of Feminists for Life.  Furthermore, you state, "Feel free to add to the version I have done and include everything in the other version" - WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING, only to have you revert it to YOUR version!!!!  Why invite someone to do something and then revert it after he's done it?????  64.12.116.68 17:44, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not what you're doing at all, you're just reverting it.  You've not listened to a word I've said.  Page protected until you can discuss this without dismissing everything. violet/riga (t) 21:54, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: [[User:Violetriga|violet/riga]]'s control issues

message: It seems to me that The FinalWord, 152.163.100.68, 152.163.100.69 and 64.12.116.68 are the same person - trying to hide behind IP addresses (and, I believe, different usernames) and state that you've "come along late to the discussion" is just pathetic.  Using your newbieness as a shield, while appropriate to some extent, is just trying to get pity.  I hope you will avoid such actions and accusations in the future - you obviously want to contribute to Wikipedia, which is a good thing, but there is no reason for the attitude and personal attacks you've done here.  If you'd been more truthful and friendlier this would've been dealt with long ago.  Any further responses from you should kindly appear on my talk page rather than here. violet/riga (t) 11:17, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: I tried to reformat her career info a bit, grouping it together with like info.
Also thought some of the text about her political views was a bit POV. I don't agree with her, but every article needs neutral POV, I tried to make this one more neutral. NickBurns 20:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Political advocacy area is indeed a bit muddled. The Margaret Colin quote isn't relevant, since Ms. Heaton didn't say it.  It's redundant, as the Feminists For Life association is well established in the article. Unless there's serious objections, I think it should be removed. For the record, I'm also on the fence about the POV of the Albertson's strike issue. For all we know, she taped the commercials well in advance and I don't see citation of any serious questioning of her intentions there. Thoughts?VanPelt101 20:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless there's an objection, I'm going to remove the reference to the Albertson's strike at this point. It's not really political advocacy to not comment on wages. VanPelt101 21:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Religion always has been part of the body politic.  In the United States, however, we still enjoy the lack of "state sponsored or state mandated" religion.  If Ms. Heaton has religious beliefs that influence her politics, I expect she quite normal.  Have a nice day.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.210.143.162 (talk) 21:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Is the wiki link to David Hunt in the info box correct? There are several David Hunt articles, and none of them seem to mention that Patricia Heaton is his spouse. If the link is not correct, the link should be removed, leaving just the raw text "David Hunt" name. Truthanado 04:07, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct link is David Hunt (actor), which does mention that he is Ms. Heaton's husband. The link was correct in the text, just wrong in the infobox. I have now corrected it. TysK 22:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Provide 1) a resource that backs this up 2) provide a good reason why it's worthy to mention and then add it to the entry. Otherwise, I'd say the discussion isn't worth adding to her bio.  Just sayng something's "well known" won't cut it.VanPelt101 21:12, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would say that this is deeply relevant to her article because she spent a great deal of time in the press discussing her own plastic surgeries and speaking out against prejudice towards women who have had cosmetic surgery. However, I have no adequate resources to this effect. So I'm on the jury for "include, but reference." CouplandForever (talk) 06:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Fyi, this article is the target of a left wing political site.  See http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x4645643 Dman727 (talk) 04:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the interests of civility, I refactored my comments and section heading.  I monitor the site frequently and some of the stuff I see posted puts shivers down my spin.  But I digress.  In any event, please bear in mind that drawn out dialogue on Sarah Palin really doesn't belong on this page.  If you have content to contribute on the Alaskanian Governor, her page is a better choice.  The comments which you posted on this page, belong to the realm of WP:OR and probably WP:SYN as well.  If you can find a reliable source which discusses Patricia Heatons views on Palins trip, that is something which could possibly be added.  Finally, please take a look at WP:NOT.  Its important not to take political battles from other pages to Wikipedia.  We all have our biases, but its important for the project to keep them off wikipedia for the sake of the project.

message: During a grocery store strike, Heaton crossed the picket lines (metaphorically) by agreeing to shoot commercials (she was spokeswoman for Albertsons chain). She tried to duck responsibility by claiming that she was under contract, but others contradicted her pointing out that the talent unions have provisions that protect members from having to do so. It was the first time her politics became widely known. RoyBatty42 (talk) 18:57, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

An IP editor  is edit-waring to replace it with this version:
I invite the IP and other interested editors to offer their opinion on how that sentence should read. Let's see if a consensus can form to keep it or an alternate version.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 11:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment: My first inclination is to keep the version that uses that title of the linked article ":January 6 United States Capitol attack" as I expect that a lot of time and effort went into getting consensus for that article title. I am open to other neutral POV alternatives (e.g., protest, riot, events) if there is consensus around them. If Heaton has specifically refered to the occasion in a particular way, we could quote her and then it would be her own words and not in Wikipedia voice.  — Archer1234 (t·c) 11:59, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
