Talk:Seka (actress)

message: At the point in the article where I have placed the Inappropriate Tone banner, the article shifts from a general accounting of Seka's life to a specific accounting of dialog purportedly uttered during a specific television show.  This reads like gossip column material, not like an encyclopedia article.  Source citations are required to verify the content of these quotations.  In addition, the writer descends to "guessing" what was going on in the minds of the speakers, which is subjective POV and also requires verification or removal.  Some general cleanup is also needed. 
The paragraph following that duplicates information presented earlier in the article, and provides additional information that would be better placed at the beginning of the article.  It also includes partial quotes that require source citations for verification, and the (probably unverifiable) opinions of the writer.
In sum, the article shifts from being objective and encyclopedic to being a subjective conglomeration of hearsay, and requires citations and cleanup.  Canonblack 12:07, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

message: In his book The X-rated Videotape Guide, author Robert Rimmer (The Harrad Experiment), who actually associated with many people in the adult film industry, gives Seka's real name as Dorothy Hundley Patton. Dick Kimball (talk) 19:00, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Removed the first clause of the first sentence of the second paragraph, Back on her feet, as it had no context to the previous text. Javafreek 21:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Rise to Porn Fame 

message: Per this interview, she has begun doing live work again, not just modeling. This should be reflected in the article somehow, but I don't know the standards. 64.126.24.12 16:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Just a note for anyone who might have the same idea - I contacted the article subject to request a freely-licensed publicity photo. She replied and stated that she desires to retain copyright of her images and will not release one under a free license. Videmus Omnia  Talk  17:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps one of the companies that still sells her videos, presumably now on DVD, would control an image and wouldn't mind the free publicity of it appearing in Wikipedia. Remember that the vast majority of photographs of Seka would have been taken by the still photographer on the sets of her movies, who worked for the producer rather than the star. Presumably a few of these would have been mild enough to be acceptable to the Wiki editors. Dick Kimball (talk) 19:12, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: the vice interview reads as follows:
I was in high school. I got married a week after I turned 18; I wanted out of the house.
I guess I was in love with the guy, but I had just turned 18 for God's sake.
I was divorced and I didn't like what I was doing. I was at Reynold's Aluminum, standing on my feet all night in a hot metal building pulling a production line. So I applied for a job as a clerk and started dating the owner. Most people think that we were married, but we were never married. He likes to think he was married to me but he wasn't. As a matter of fact, he was already married when I met him, which I didn't know at the time.

replies: text: Hi, Quessler. As I've just noted on your talk page, I compliment you on a number of good, sharp-eyed edits on this article. If I may, I'd like to offer a couple of tips. First, you can sign your talk-page posts automatically by typing four tildes (the ~ sign). Second, Wikipedia disallows wikia and other sites of user-generated content, including IMDb, to be used as reference citations — IMDb biographies are often filled with inaccuracies. Otherwise, your care and wide-ranging research is wonderful to see. Welcome aboard! --Tenebrae (talk) 16:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kevin Yontz - husband, boyfriend? 

message: How did she go from dating the owner of one, to owning seven in a few years? More info needed.
There is a pervasive story that she was just a front for the Mob to launder money, and they built the chain. Nothing here to confirm or disprove. Is there anything in her book? 2A00:23C7:E287:1901:5597:5F25:DD6C:659B (talk) 11:47, 14 October 2023 (UTC)
