Talk:Magda Szubanski

message: Perhaps someone should add how to pronounce her name properly, in the phonetic alphabet which i'm not good at. She's appeared a couple of times on Rove, and her last name is pronounced "Schubine-ski". It's not often that people get it right.

replies: text: Here she states it as "Schoo-bine-ski". I think this would be represented as:  —sroc (talk) 11:17, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The Polish spelling of her last name is Szubański, which in Polish is pronounced . English  is a good approximation of that. Angr (talk) 14:02, 13 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: OK,  is a correct pronunciation of her father's name (I'm taking Angr's word for that) and hers, too, if you believe the www.tv.com article: "She explains the right pronunciation is 'Schoo-bine-ski.' 'But really, Shoo-ban-ski will do.'" However, in her recent Moth Talk (about 30% into the talk), she said, "You know me as Magda Z'banski [my spelling based on listening to her say it, where ban is how we would say that word in the USA], but the way my father would have said my name is Mahgda ." So, I think the correct pronunciation turns on whether "you know me as" means "this is how I pronounce my name". It is worth noting that in her Moth talk and (presumably) the TV.com interview, pronunciation was discussed in the context of her Polish father. It is not uncommon for close relatives to adopt different pronunciations; e.g., Candace Gingrich is "Gingrick," while her half-brother is "Newt Gingritch."

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:TTBRC furlow.jpg

message: I wasn't sure whether to include the Jenny Craig spokesperson role with her acting career, or as a separate topic.  I went ahead with a separate topic, which I at first titled "non-acting role", but then thought that "health" might sound better.  Let me know what you think.

text: I think it's a good idea to look at other articles, and if you look at featured articles or good articles you'll be looking at articles that have already had a number of editors assessing them, so you know they must be OK.   Some examples - Reese Witherspoon uses Other projects.  Kylie Minogue, Eric Bana, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal all use "personal life" headers with specific subheaders.  That would probably work better when the article is expanded more.   "Other projects" is vague enough to cover it, but it's more accurate than "Promotional work".   Magda is not solely doing it for promotion.   Queen Latifah is also a spokesperson for Jenny Craig, and her article places it under Personal life. Rossrs (talk) 13:38, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Rossrs, thank you for your input.  I'll check-out the articles you suggested, thank you for all the links.  "Other projects" does sound pretty good for now.  Roaming27 (talk) 00:14, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: New heading - "health"

message: Is it worthwhile creating one?  Or should I move this to the Jenny Craig talk page?  Or just go ahead and create something?  lol! Roaming27 (talk) 11:37, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest that you don't as it will almost certainly end up being deleted.  There are so many celebrities endorsing products or projects that there could conceivably be thousands of possible categories, and every celebrity would be on at least one of them.

thread_title: List or category re Jenny Craig spokespersons?

message: A new section should be added following a recent controversy involving Magda Szubanski, which can be seen here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyEeGFg9F0k
Magda Szubanski calls on drivers to "take-out" or injure cyclists on the road by opening their car door and hitting them. The comments have outraged the cycling community.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans friedman (talk • contribs) 22:37, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh come on, can't we see this on this video that this is a humour thing. Gosh can we get over this and appreciate the humourous tones on this instead of this "controversy business". Isn't she a comédian ?. Relax...   — Ludopedia(Talk) 11:30, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
