message: Is it appropriate for Amy's extremely unfunny joke that she was told not to say at the Oscars to have a place on this page?

message: It looks to me that the joke theft section has been completely removed? it's enough that media outlets have complied lists of thefts.

thread_title:  joke theft 

message: Amy's support for Israel and the very problematic posts she has shared need be urgently added to her page. What is the delay with this? Having a locked page goes against the very ethos of Wikipedia and to be honest, in a new era of very organised boycotts, Wikipedia will become irrelevant if it looks like you are promoting censorship in this way. Speaking of censorship, it should also be added to Schumer's page that herself, Sacha Baron Cohen and Debra Messing privately lobbied TikTok to suppress content critical of Israel this past week.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amelia7117 (talk • contribs) 21:14, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you propose adding? Note that we need reliable sources for any addition, especially something like this. – Muboshgu (talk) 21:20, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: why is her page locked? If it wasn't locked I can update it. Why are some pages protected and not others? and if they are locked, why aren't they being updated at least by moderators? Amelia7117 (talk) 21:20, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The talk page is not locked; you are able to request changes here. However, they must comply with WP:BLP and be backed up with reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 21:22, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Agreed. A "Controversies" section should added. Schumer has taken a very far right wing, ethno-religio-nationalist position on the current Likud coalition government's ethnic cleansing efforts. This is not the first time she has advocated on the side of ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide. She is an open and vocal extremist. 67.22.172.212 (talk) 00:15, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: She is absolutely not "far right  wing, ethno-religio-nationalist' advocating for 'ethnic cleansing or cultural genocide' - that is what Hamas believes, she just believes that an internationally recognized legitimate democratic Jewish state has a right to exist. That is only controversial if you believe all Jews should be exterminated and Israel should cease to exist. TDpaul23 (talk) 14:30, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  October 2023 

message: "In January 2016, Schumer was accused of stealing jokes from comedians Tammy Pescatelli, Kathleen Madigan, Wendy Liebman, and Patrice O'Neal. Schumer denied the allegations. Other comedians, such as Marc Maron and Dave Rubin, defended Schumer. Pescatelli later apologized, stating it had "gone too far" and was probably "parallel thinking". In 2017, a video showcasing all cases of alleged joke thefts were collated in a 26-minute compilation on YouTube by The Tangerine Show, garnering more than 8.8 million views as of May 2023."
It's not clear that Pescatelli was an accuser until it's mentioned that he apologized here. Could someone push a change to this effect? 216.164.249.213 (talk) 05:32, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unclear language 

message: I get people don't want this page vandalized due to comments Amy has made on social media, but at the very least is owed a controversy section. Amy herself has posted a racist cartoon calling all Gazans rapist, has misquoted MLK, etc. Adding a controversy section is how a very similar issue was handled on Spyglass Media Group. 2600:8806:3105:E500:B430:723B:3E88:1EBE (talk) 14:21, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't shouldn't create WP:CONTROVERSYSECTIONs. We can add something in other places based on what WP:RS say, but you have to bring us some. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:17, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Y'all definitely create controversy sections on articles in situations like this. I've seen it a million times before on Wikipedia. Here's a page that has one for example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyglass_Media_Group 72.196.233.42 (talk) 09:19, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Address removing that controversy section on Talk:Spyglass Media Group, not here. I've modified my original comment. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

text: Actually I just looked at that page and saw a comment about one actress getting fired and no evidence of "controversy", so I deleted it entirely. Controversy sections are bad for Wikipedia. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:41, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy section  

message: Can it be added under her early career first paragraph that she, Kevin Kane and others co-founded The Collective, which is a boundary-pushing theater group that publishes, performs and promotes work "that is emotionally truthful, socially relevant, and defiantly accessible." They also perform and publish a book of 10 10-minute plays (example of news coverage here) TDpaul23 (talk) 14:35, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
