message: At http://antibeat.host.sk/milla/index.php?disp=art there is one more PD drawing of Milla (in three variants), so if someone thinks it should be used/uploaded, go ahead! Nikola 20:01, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The current picture of her is AWFUL! She looks ugly as sin in it. We really need a new picture of her, since this one makes her look disgusting when she's actually really hot. DurotarLord 17:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: that Jovovic speaks Serbian. --VKokielov 07:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Article at http://www.suc.org/culture/library/svi_srbi_sveta/tekstovi/sad_holivud_je_srpsko_selo.htm states that "she never learned Serbian well". So, she does speak it, if not well. Nikola 10:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  but currently the article states that she speaks Serbain "fluently". Did she follow courses in the mean time? :) Mipmip 12:17, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I'm not sure 

message: The image captioned "modelling at age 28" is definitely mislabelled. If her correct year of birth is indeed 1975, she would have been 28 in 2003. However, I have that exact image on a CD I burned in 1998. Either she was <= 23 years old at the time, or she was born earlier.--Shinyplasticbag 06:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this is my fault, I had hurriedly derived her age from a few assumptions about her previous modelling. I'm currently looking up the age right now. Antidote 22:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I fixed it. She was 23. You got it on the dot. Antidote 23:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Age 

message: Jovovich was born in Ukraine. The alternate spelling of her name should therefore be in Ukrainian, not Russian. 23skidoo 18:18, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnic spelling of her name 

message: Someone added a statement that Milla released a CD before she made her first movie in 1988 (which means she must have been, like 12 at the time). Although this isn't impossible, I can find no reference to Milla ever having released a CD before "The Divine Comedy" in 1994 and that includes official websites. Can anyone provide a source for this information? Perhaps it was a demo she recorded? If that's the case, it should be stated as such, not a CD release. 23skidoo 04:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As a follow-up, I did find a magazine reference in my own archives taken from an interview Milla gave before she appeared in Blue Lagoon in which she mentioned that she was working on "Kate Bush"-style songs, but again no reference to any actual release. 23skidoo 20:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Early CD? 

message: Please see Katie Holmes, today's featured articles, which lists from latest to earliest films chronologically. JackO'Lantern 15:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Er, can anyone explain what this has to do with Milla Jovovich? (puzzled) 23skidoo 16:59, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the user is trying to use the example of how Katie Holmes's article is laid out to justify keeping the film chronology the way he edited it. Tyhopho 17:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: You got it. JackO'Lantern 17:44, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, fair enough. This wasn't explained which is probably why the previous editor deleted the comment initially. 23skidoo 17:57, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chronological listing 

message: In this artilce  it says Milla is going to be in a film called "The Winter Queen". I've researched it and cant seem to find anything else about it. Does anyone know any more information? Or about a film she was supposed to be in called "Welcome to America"?
-Lindsey8417 04:36, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find anything on Winter Queen other than this article, either. Her comments re:hanging up her action spurs don't jive with the fact she's signed to do 2 more Resident Evil sequels. As for Welcome to America it has an IMDb listing here but she isn't listed in the cast. However it is not unusual for the IMDb to leave off major cast members for films in production. A quick Google revealed a number of (reputable source) hits linking her with the production, however. 23skidoo 04:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Films 

message: I just noticed that Milla is described as being a "supermodel". Although she obviously has some popularity as a model, including as a child model prior to her rise to stardom, I don't really agree that she ever sat in the same category as Cindy Crawford, Cheryl Tiegs, Christie Brinkley, etc. in terms of supermodel status. Is there anything to back up that she actually attained supermodel status, or do you think it might be more accurate to scale that back to describing her as a fashion model? 23skidoo 04:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting. That's the first source where I've actually heard her referred to as a "supermodel" per se. I wonder if the Forbes figure is strictly based upon her modelling income, or if it also takes into account the fact she is a popular and highly paid movie actress (which is something none of the others listed above are, though Tyra does rake in some extra coin for hosting Top Model). Forbes, however, isn't a modelling journal, so it's use of the term could be open for debate. Is there any modelling profession-related literature out there that actually defines her as a supermodel? 23skidoo 14:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: She is a highly successful supermodel. I am shocked to visit this article and see that it says very little about her huge modeling career. Lil Flip246 18:59, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Supermodel? 

message: A few weeks ago I had posted the cover of Vogue Spain (with Milla on the cover) on the article and it was removed. I understand the reason, but I'm not sure why the Vogue cover was removed and the Lei cover wasnt. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but can someone explain? -Lindsey8417 18:45, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Magazine Covers 

message: Not tht the Wiki is about gossip (much), but the following may be giving an incorrect impression: "She has been appearing in public lately with Japanese soccer-star Nakata Hidetoshi and now she's engaged to writer/director Paul W. S. Anderson."
Is there a Milla-watcher with a more precise view? Bustter 20:35, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The articles really confusing when talking about her relationships. In the begining of the article it says "Jovovich has been described by Paul W.S. Anderson, director of her film Resident Evil and Jovovich's husband" and later it says that she's just engaged. So...?? Which one? And when did she get back together with him in the first place? Unless they never split up.... -Lindsey8417 18:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This article says very little about Milla's modeling career. Can you guys please add more about that?? Thanks. Lil Flip246 15:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Modeling 

message: I'm starting to get annoyed at the constant edit warring, particularly from anonymous users. I strongly recommend that this article be sent to WP:RFC otherwise I see no end to this. Actually, I am going to add it to the RFC list right now. Let's get some third parties involved. 23skidoo 12:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  I think this article needs arbitration of some sort 

message: I'm not getting into this discussion, but please do not restore mentions of her ethnic background into the header (first paragraph) of the article, as per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies). We could remove "Ukrainian-born", too, but since it was sort of her nationality (nationality goes in header), I'm not sure. Mad Jack 03:11, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ethnicity in header 

message: Surely Milla Jovovich is a U.S. citizen. She shouldn't be described as simply a "Serbian model, actress, etc.". And what's the justification for emphasizing her Serbian background but not her Russian background? She was raised in Ukraine (where she obviously didn't speak Serbian or Ukrainian) and has a Russian mother. She speaks Russian excellently, too. You can find numerous interviews with her in Russian on YouTube. macjacobus (talk) 09:53, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
