Talk:Sherri Shepherd

message: Sherrie shepherd DID attend Hoffman Estates High school. (she states that herself on her my space account. She DID Graduate in 1985 (also stated on her my space account) I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HER! I know for a fact that her Year of birth is 1967. Stating that it is 1970 puts her graduating at 15 years old! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.222.40 (talk) 19:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Was she really the subject of "controversy"? If anything she was the subject of ridicule. I don't see the controversy though. thx1138 08:30, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There isn't any controversy, or anything controversial about her 'statements' - they are flat out stupid. She should be the object of ridicule. --Kelt65 (talk) 16:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Made it "criticism". If anyone can show there was controversy about her opinions; such as A) a group vocally supporting her as correct; or at the very least B) A group vocally supporting her to express her belief structure. From what I can see all sources point out it was a stupid statement that made Shepherd look stupid. And same goes for the latest attempt at theological insight.--ZayZayEM (talk) 03:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "controversy"

message: Okay. Perhaps she is a creationist, or an anti-intellectualist (whatever that means), or whatever. However, nothing in this article, except maybe one incident seems to be pertinent to this. If she's some sort of creationist activist, some of these categories might be appropriate. Otherwise, no. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 20:00, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  removing inappropriate cats 

message: This is not a Sherri Shepherd forum. Try her personal website, it has forums (they don't seem strongly moderated either).
I will be enforcing WP:FORUM policy unless there is significant and credible objection.--ZayZayEM (talk) 02:28, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I know that this is not a forum, am very well aware of that policy, and do not object to the certain removal of sections that you made to this talk page. Flyer22 (talk) 05:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Talk page 

message: A website called "Watching the View" has a three part interview with shepherd online; available here . I've read enough Shepherd info for one day (probably a week). So if anyone wants to try and expand her pre-career and early career bio bits, go ahead.--ZayZayEM (talk) 03:11, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Interview 

message: Ok. Links are great but please try and avoid brandishing blogs as primary (or reliable) sources. Try and use a footnote that points to the original source.
If the statement was made in an episode of The View, you can use that as a footnote:
*
If you have a blog entry that directs you to an interview in a newspaper, magazine or radio station - please reference that original source - even if you don't have direct access to it. If you feel more comfortable, you can still include a link to the blog etc - but don't get upset if someone removes that link (its superfluous, and may seem like its promoting the blog), or if someone removes your material saying it conflicts with the actual primary source (unless you can show that they are bluffing).
Also, Being dissed on a blog, even a pseudo-celeb status one like Perez Hilton, does not amount to widespread or notable criticism.--ZayZayEM (talk) 07:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sources please... 

message: It says, "Shepherd also garnered ridicule after admitting to never voting because she just "never knew the dates or anything"; she stated, "I've never voted for anything in my life."[9][10]"
However she has since registered to vote and voted for the 2008 presidential election.  That should be followed up on. 12.162.122.6 (talk) 19:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Newlywed Game 

message: Her son Jeffrey was born VERY early and according to one site she was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, but miscarried the girl, then Jeffery was born but with "Bleeding on the brain" and a "Hole in his artery and instestine". Should there be a mention of this somewhere?

message: Why does the article not mention that she had a lot of abortions? See these links:   . I was hoping I could add it to the article, but was thinking it might be a controversial move. Estheroliver (talk) 23:38, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Abortion

message: People, Us Weekly and other sources give her age as 47, without specifying a birth date. That means she was born in 1967 if she's already had her birthday this year or 1966 if her birthday is yet to come this year. TV Guide, however, at http://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/sherri-shepherd/bio/190932, gives her birth date as April 22, 1970.  Since the TV Guide year does not seem to be widespread, suggesting it's incorrect, we can't trust the TV Guide claim of April 22 either. We really need a reliable-source citation before we can say April 22, 1967.
Also, we need RS cites if we're going to claim she has sisters and where she purportedly went to school. That's just basic WP:BLP and WP:VERIFY.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:27, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Her age, date of birth

message: An anon IP had added a paragraph arguing what Sherri Shepherd's next legal steps could be following the April 21 court ruling. It was POV essaying and WP:SYNTH, as well as WP:CRYSTAL. I would ask the anon IP to please read these policies/guidelines and refrain from making well-intended but violative edits. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:44, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

message: Support split - Filmography section takes up more than one quarter of the page, and should be split to a new article entitled Sherri Shepherd filmography.  Thoughts? --Jax 0677 (talk) 17:18, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sherri Shepherd filmography 

message: The lede states: "Shepherd was a co-host of the daytime talk show The View, for which she received multiple Daytime Emmy Award nominations, winning one in 2009." It sounds as though Shepherd singularly won multiple Daytime Emmy Award; when in reality it was the show (ensemble) that was nominated. Shepherd shares nearly all of her Awards and nominations with other actors, hosts, etc. In reading another actor on 30 Rock, Scott Adsit's lede states: "Adsit is known for his role as Pete Hornberger, the well-meaning but jaded executive producer, on the NBC sitcom 30 Rock, which won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2008." Sheperd's lede is misleading and should be worded similar to Adsit's. Maineartists (talk) 22:55, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It wasn't  or won the Emmy(s); it was the show's hosts, one of which was Shepherd. This is supported by reliable sources describing her as an Emmy winner. The rationale for the proposed change in phrasing suggests that Shepherd wasn't the recipient of the Emmy, which is incorrect. FWIW, I believe the phrasing in Adsit's article is incorrect as well.
