message: "the character of Bastilla seems to be based of Hale's looks."
Is this an observation made by the editor? If so, it should be removed. If not, a reference is needed.

replies: text: Birth year is 1972 according to the New Yorker article. The month and day are yet to be confirmed. Nintendo Power article might have listed it fully though. I would suggest checking that article as well as  her tweets around her birthday time to confirm. -AngusWOOF (talk) 20:10, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  The birth year has now been removed because of this alumni newsletter from her high school  which lists her as an alumni with the year 1982. Granted the school is a K-12 school, so she could have graduated from 5th, 8th, or 12th grade and marked that as the year, but it's good enough to question it.

thread_title:  What's her birthdate? 

message: Apparently, she's sometimes credited as "Carren Learning", but there's no explanation given as to why.  Is it a nickname?  A maiden name?  An assumed name, a middle name, an attempt to hide her identity?  The article really should clarify. JBK405 04:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Her name

message: Perhaps it should be mentioned that many of the characters she's voiced(more than half, probably even 3/4) are redheads.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.14.10 (talk) 03:02, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unless there are articles and interviews of video games that use her actual appearance as a reference for their character, or a critics' comment making that association, this is not notable and  does not need to be added to the article. -AngusWOOF (talk) 20:14, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Jennifer H. in KOTOR II 

message: I've looked through videos of the credits for the Metroid Prime games, and I haven't seen her name or Carren Learning anywhere. In addition, it's not listed in her video game roles on her website. Was there any actual documentation of her voicing Samus, ecause if not, the credit should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Batwing321 (talk • contribs) 01:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hale is the voice of Samus in Metroid Prime, Prime 2 and Prime 3 (Samus has no voice in Hunters). The proof is in this video interview in which Hale herself confirms she voiced Samus (at about 2:10 into the video). I added this reference to this article, as well as to the Samus Aran page. As for Hale's official website not listing Samus as one of her roles, I don't find this to be proper evidence, as many of her known roles aren't listed on her site. Also, the first two Prime games don't list any voice actors in their credits (probably because there is only very minor voice work in those two games). As for Hale not being listed in Prime 3's credits (which does list its voice actors), this is likely due to the fact that Prime 3 features extensive spoken dialog. Crediting Hale's grunts and yelps in the same list as those voice actors that performed actual lines of dialog might have seemed unbalanced. -Sesu Prime (talk) 02:18, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I don't think this should be considered a part of a filmography, being a bit irrelevant.  Thoughts? 70.101.182.149 (talk) 21:18, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Why do you feel it is irrelevant? For one thing, this article lists the works of Jennifer Hale, and that includes all mediums that she performs in, including video games. This also holds true for articles for other voice actors. Additionally, a bulk of the work that Jennifer Hale has done is in video games, with some very notable roles (Bastila Shan in KOTOR for one). Zidane4028 (talk) 05:47, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Zidane. Her voice work in video game is a large chunk of her career. Why would you not include it? Caufman (talk) 00:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Says she is in the first sentance, but nowhere else. Is it true?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.100.56 (talk) 13:37, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: She is a singer, as that is part of her background. But since she has not released any major singles or albums, it is not notable for the infobox. And singing an occasional insert song for a cartoon or video game does not count unless that part is notable. -AngusWOOF (talk) 20:18, 31 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Query 

message: I'm removing all references to Metroid in this article.  We went through a long and sordid discussion about this at the Samus Aran article, but what it comes down to is that she is not actually credited as Samus in any official documentation or websites anywhere.  Most resources online that claim she voices Samus are user-submitted or WP:V-questionable websites like TV.com, IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Giant Bomb's encyclopedia, and a barrage of forum and blog posts.  Meanwhile, Jennifer's own websites, as well as the credits for all the 3D Metroid titles (, , , ) don't credit her.  Neither do any websites considered up to professional WP:V standards by Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources#List, such as IGN, Gamespot, and the like.  To make absolutely sure, I did a Google search for "Jennifer Hale Metroid" and "Jennifer Hale Samus", and after 50 pages in, I was still coming up with only forum and blog posts.  So until a proper source legitimately credits her, the claim that she voiced Samus should be removed. Arrowned (talk) 03:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In this very recent video interview with Jennifer Hale, check at about 2:10 in and she pretty much confirms that she is the voice of Samus in the Metroid Prime. Zidane4028 (talk) 07:27, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Scroll up a bit to the Samus Aran section of this talk page and read what I wrote on this matter (hopefully that settles this once and for all). Thanks to Zidane4028 for pointing out this video interview in the first place. -Sesu Prime (talk) 02:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Hale has tweeted recently in support of her father Jim Learning who was imprisoned in 2013 and was recently moved to another facility. I've added Jim to the infobox, but not in the article section itself as it is not that clear she means her biological father or her stepfather. He's most likely the biological one as the Bissell article says he lives in Labrador. This book article does mention Jim's daughter Carren Dujela  so this is likely where Hale's Carren Learning alias come from. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:34, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
