Talk:Minka Kelly

message: Information about Ms. Kelly's uncle and grandmother would not be considered notable. Unless they themselves are famous in some way, the information really does not need to be added. Ckessler 18:58, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the son of Elvis and I'm telling you, he's alive. So Wikipedia must say this. Spot the problem? Wikipedia does have a policy of assume good faith, but the ability for someone else to verify from a reliable source takes precedence over practically everything else. Personally, I have issues with using gossip mags etc as sources but there are some precautions in place (for example, the reliable sources noticeboard can be used to get consensus about whether a published source should be considered reliable or not). What we cannot do is assume that I am being honest when I say that I'm the son of Elvis ... or you are the Minka Kelly's father's cousin etc. It's pretty much the same with a (good) printed encyclopedia. One way round it, if it bothers you that much, would be to ask her to include the information on her own official website: it could go in here then. Now I'm off to have a word with my father ... - Sitush (talk) 06:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

text: I didn't claim to be the son of Elvis... All of my attempts to correct or add to this biography were made in good faith, but Wikipedia's policy of using web and print tabloids as reliable sources trumps me every time. It makes me reluctant to take Wikipedia seriously. Tabloids are good for current events, not for historical value. Minka has an "official" website? That's news to me. Even if she did, her thirst for family history is non-existent. She didn't even inform the little family she has left of my sister's demise. Anyway, I'm done trying to keep this correct...

thread_title: Reverted information

message: The relationship with Evans lasted only a few weeks in 2007 and the reconciliation now is simply a rumor. Evans has stated in the past that he does not remain in contact with ex's as he thinks it is unhealthy. This blurb referencing Evans in no way seems noteworthy and is not appropriate for Kellys page. It should be removed immediately.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.156.200 (talk) 08:58, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

message: There is no evidence Kelly was Ney's granddaughter. He had no children and only one stepdaughter, who has no apparent connection to Minka Kelly. Quis separabit? 00:05, 20 February 2018 (UTC)

message: In 2017, Minka Kelly had a highly-publicized relationship with actor Jesse Williams, and yet it continues to be omitted from her Wikipedia entry. I've added this information before, but it was previously deleted on the grounds that the cited source was deemed "tabloid journalism." This time, I used an acceptable source (the New York Daily News), yet it was deleted again. An editor named 331dot gave the dubious explanation that it came from a gossip section and that such sections have fluctuating fact-checking practices. That of course is preposterous, being that the New York Daily News is a reputable publication of long standing, and as such it has uniform fact-checking standards for ALL of its sections (as any reputable publication would). Moreover, the New York Daily News has been satisfactorily cited as a source on myriad Wikipedia pages, but for some reason it's suddenly not acceptable when it comes to this high-profile, interracial relationship. Very inconsistent. Very suspect. The relationship should be included on Kelly's page, as well as Williams's page, period.

thread_title:  /* Personal life */  

message: There's something wrong or at least ambiguous about the statement "Her exposure to the medical field spurred her to attend school for a year studying to become a surgeon's assistant; afterwards she worked as a scrub nurse."
According to the Wikipedia article “Surgical nursing,” “a surgical nurse, also referred to as a theatre nurse or scrub nurse, specializes in perioperative care, providing care to patients before, during and after surgery. To become a theatre nurse, Registered Nurses or Enrolled Nurses must complete extra training.” This means Minka Kelly would already have been an RN. JMeggett (talk) 14:33, 8 October 2023 (UTC)
