Talk:Sofía Vergara

message: why is there a need to mention her hair color? if you say because of her work on "films and TV", you need to rewrite that paragraph. Obviously, actors change their appearance to fit the role they are portraying. and in any case, her hair-color is not "naturally blonde/sunbleached hair" ( how it can be naturally blonde and bleached  at the same time is beyond me)it is a more light brown . . .  
:Good points. I agree that this paragraph (and other parts of the article) needs work. But to call the authors idiots is unnecessary. I changed the heading of this talk to "Hair color". --ChaChaFut 02:15, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: you mean "Melanin", not "Melatonin", and hair lightens upon exposure to the sun, not darkens, which is the opposite of bleaching anyway.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 07:10, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

text: To OP. she has said she's blonde from her own mouth "Very Blond. My whole family is blond blue eyes, very nice." Reference: 'The View' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2InAdadKzho Also due to American stereotype of Latin-Americans she dyes her hair black and wears a load of bronze make-up in order to get those roles as her Latina self.--Anen87 (talk) 07:12, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hair color . . . 

message: There was nothing here about Sofia being linked to Chris Paciello and Tom Cruise. Just a few notables I think are worth mentioning.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.66.66.1 (talk) 02:49, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vergara links to Chris Paciello (mafia) & Tom Cruise 

message: Whoever wrote this has no reference besides it's not true. Being raised would be in the household. If she was raised bilingual she wouldn't have such a strong accent which is typical of someone who learned it much older probably in High school when students choose a foreign language to study. Also her Supposedly being raised bilingual made her American transition in English easy is also False, if this were the case then she wouldn't have trouble getting "gringa" (American) roles also but she didn't cause of her very strong foreign accent. She has said "I wasn't getting many jobs when I started acting in Los Angeles they didn't know where to put me with the accent, with the body, with the attitude, but I was blond so I was getting No jobs so I change my hair like this and now everyone believes I was the whole Latin woman" The View Interview. So getting No jobs until Changing one's appearance to get a job I don't see that as being an easy transition either. It has been actually the opposite! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anen87 (talk • contribs) 16:36, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I read somewhere that Sofia admitted to be sexually abused when she was a child. Apparently she said this in an American show called "The View". Nothing of the sort is mentioned in the personal life section. Should this be included? Thanks --Camilo Sanchez (talk) 19:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Raped?

message: *Is her last name supposed to be repeated at the beginning of the article, or is that vandalism  ? (Notice that the infobox only has the last name once.) Erpert (let's talk about it) 00:49, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm glad you pointed that out here - I noticed it too! I'm pretty sure it's vandalism or a mistake. If someone can validate that it's actually correct, please report it here with a source. Until then, I'm changing it! DegrassiFreak (talk) 23:52, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it's not vandalism. Her paternal family name is Vergara and her maternal family name is also Vergara. See the hatnote at the top of the article. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:03, 8 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ohh, I see it now! I would think that kind of info would be in a note, not where "other similarly named articles or disambiguation pages" are placed - hence why I didn't fully pay attention to reading it. Unless I'm completely wrong, I suggest it should be placed in a more noticeable/proper place. Well anyway, thank you for talking time to clarify. :) DegrassiFreak (talk) 01:45, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

text:  And what does that mean? Coincidence? The "spanish naming conventions" confuse me, her parents have also two surnames ... My first thought would be: incest :-P Gerald Jarosch (talk) 17:10, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Not the naming convention i'm used to, but it seems wery simpel and easy(even a bit gender equal). Incest????? 100 million chinese have the family name: Wang, do you still find it to be incest if two Wangs got a child?94.145.236.194 (talk) 09:40, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

text: It's actually quite common in Spanish (or Castilian) speaking countries, where there is a smaller pool of surnames then, say, America, where we have many ethnic traditions to draw on for surnames. (I hypothesize that the smaller pool of surnames is part of the reason they have the naming system that  they have.) Dave  (djkernen)|Talk to me|Please help! 20:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I think you may be confusing "beginning" with "as of". Vergara may have starred in the role beginning in 2009, but as of 2012, she still stars in it. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 22:20, 30 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit request on 30 August 2012 

message: I reverted the addition on stereotypical roles for a number of reasons.
# The section only had one sentence that was only partially about stereotypical roles and mostly about subject's hairstyle;
# One sentence is not enough for a separate section;
# Putting the sentence in its own section threatens the neutral tone of the article;
# Giving the single sentence its own section is undue weight. The policy states:
:An article should not give undue weight to any aspects of the subject but should strive to treat each aspect with a weight appropriate to its significance to the subject. For example, discussion of isolated events, criticisms, or news reports about a subject may be verifiable and impartial, but still disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic.
Please do not revert unless consensus is reached here to put it in its own section. Thanks, Dusty|💬|You can help! 15:41, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section on "Stereotypical Roles" 

message: I know a "search-test" would give more of the latter than with "y" but since her own son uses "Toty", I would think he knows better how it is written as it was a family callname after all. It's probably used as plain noun without the article even, but I am not around when they call her Toty so I can't know for sure.
Yes I did see the reference and few articles writing it with "i", but I doubt they asked her about the orthography of it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.68.185.156 (talk) 19:46, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The sources all spell it "Toti" and we cannot change it without a reliable source. Dusty|💬|You can help! 13:40, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't her son's webtv series (already referenced in the article) a reliable source? I would think that if he got it wrong, at least his mother would correct him for a project so close to her as opposed to some media article that she cannot control. Or is it because the "i" version with some media coverage preceded his series, that it makes it more reliable? Honest question here; we all know how the media can make mistakes -more often than not- on stories and never correct/verify them.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.68.185.156 (talk) 14:09, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
