message: Any cites on Alba being a Roman Catholic? I've read that she became a born-again Christian as a teenager. She no longer is, but did she convert (revert?) to Catholicism? MK2 15:22, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I am certain that she's Catholic, but I don't think we should accept NNDB as a source. It's about as accurate as the IMDB, i.e. not very much. Like the IMDB, it's a second-hand source that has no direct contact with the person, i.e. like Wikipedia itself, so how do you know that they're right? Something like an interview, in-depth profile would be a first hand source, otherwise NNDB and IMDB and all sites like them are mistake-prone and should not be used as proof.

replies: text: My reason for deleting the OCD category is simply that the requirements for the category state that there has to be a verifiable clinical diagnosis and not a case of the person saying about themselves to be a bit OCD about things. Of the two references in the article, the online source mentions her doing the latter; there's no clinical diagnosis mentioned. The other source, Jay Leno, I can't check, but it's more likely than not to be her talking about herself rather than a clinical diagnosis being shown; after all, it's a talk show.

message: I reverted some vandalism by User:Prof richards, and then noticed that he, and possibly others, have been inserting what appear to be random diseases into the part about illnesses Alba has had.  I know nothing about Alba, but someone who does should try to sort this out.  --Allen 06:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed some added by Jeff Malonie recently.  I don't know for sure that they're false, but the list is already suspect, so any new additions should at the very least have an edit summary attached.  I suspect that some of the ones that I've left on there are just jokes additions from past editors; again, someone who knows something about Alba should look these over.  --Allen 06:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: In regard to the Playboy trivia:
"Ironically, she has appeared semi-nude in several other porn magazine publications."
That first word seems to me to violate NPOV, as it insinuates hypocrisy in the lawsuit.  I move to change the sentence to:

message: Can someone please change the picture at the top of the article. There are hundreds of Jessica Alba Photo's out there, howcome that one got choosen? I think a photo from one of her FHM shoots or even one of the pictures she did for GQ Magazine would do the page justice. **************** PLEASE CHANGE ASAP****************  Venom. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 210.9.69.34 (talk • contribs) 06:17, August 3, 2006 (UTC)
Good God you are right, the best lookin woman in the world and that photo is still up. go to skins.be, plenty of worthy photos there!!
CHANGE THE PHOTO!!!!!!!!!
Gee thanks for chaning the pic but really there has to be a better pic of her....Ultimaterasengan 22:16, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not so sure if there really are "plenty of pictures out there" that satisfy Wikipedia's fair use policy.  You can't just take a picture from a magazine or website and put it here, because that would violate the copyright of that particular picture.  We are limited to free license photos (as this is the free encyclopedia. -Seidenstud 05:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I've searched the internets high and low (I googled) and can find no mention of Alba being an environmentalist or owning a Lexus Hybrid save those articles that are copied from this very wiki article.  In such a celebrity-obsessed world, I find it hard to believe that this wouldn't be everywhere her name is.  I'm removing this if no one has objections.--Loodog 05:27, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Career section does not mention her lead role in Into The Blue. I'm not sure how to add a Film Wiki link, if someone could do that.
The links section also does not feature enough extra information on Jessica Alba for people to find extra information on her, e.g. pictures, videos which Wikipedia does not host.    The el man 22:49, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  image 

message: Forgive me if I do this incorrectly, I'm new to this.  But something that caught my eye is the description of a tattoo of a bow on Alba's lower back.  This is cited with 8 and 9.  First, 9 brings up a 404 NOT FOUND message.  And 8 is a picture with an article where the author openly declares that he does not believe the person in the picture is Jessica Alba.  Like I said, forgive me for newbieness...but I would think that's a bit unacceptable.  Needs some actual verification to it.  Unfortunately, I'm not really sure what to do about it.  --Drummer0000 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drummer0000 (talk • contribs) 06:48, November 23, 2006
* I agree. The tattoo on her back as seen in these images could be just about anything. I'm going to remove the statement. Valrith 14:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tattoo Citation 

message: The bra Jessica Alba wore in Sin City was put up for auction on eBay.  The stated size was 34B which might be good enough as a citation for her measurements.  However it looks as if it might have been intentionally too small and worn for the look rather than comfort and there are many statistics about how most women wear clothes which are not the right size for them and Jessica seems to be a much healthier looking weight now than when she was on Dark Angel so any measurements are going to be a bit vague.  With a second citation from an alternative source it might be worth adding this information at some point.  --Horkana 23:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't think so.  I don't think a bit of gossip from an anonymous source from a site that I've never heard of (has anyone else heard of this site?), and therefore, may not be credible, and which hasn't really made any blips in the mainstream press, merits any mention in an encyclopedia article on her.
