Did she really say this?[edit]

From her biography page on IMDB.

"I hate pretty-looking boys. I'd rather have a guy with a potbelly than one who's in the gym all the time and watches what he eats."

If so, there is still hope! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.73.116.153 (talk) 20:27, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Yes she did in fact say this, so yes there is still hope for you people out there...good luck to you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.142.209.89 (talk) 13:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


YAY!

"questionable source" reference[edit]

Bloody Disgusting is not a questionable source!! I took it up with the Reliable sources noticeboard. Here's what was written:

Not as obvious an answer as it first appears from the name. (By the way, we have an article on them: Bloody Disgusting.) It's a relatively new website, and has a horrible name, but is starting to be cited by more reliable sources: The Scotsman; Time Magazine; Canadian Broadcasting Corporation; MSNBC; again MSNBC. That's how sources become considered reliable, more reliable sources rely on them... but it's just starting that process. I'd say depends on the item to be cited. What is the item to be cited? --GRuban (talk) 23:20, 19 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.36.43.1 (talk) [reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Ali Larter/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Hi, I'm reviewing this for Good Article status. It looks good on most of the criteria, but it's a little shaky on the grammar. It's clearly-written, but the main grammar issue is that you don't know where to put commas. I may ask for a second opinion from another reviewer as to the style. Shouldn't be anything too difficult to get fixed. It looks like you're fine as far as NPOV, image use, stability, broad coverage, and reliable references. A couple of quick things stand out:

  • ref #1: Don't use an IMDB bio page as a reference. If you're using that as a source of the date of birth, as it appears that you did, then you can use her regular IMDB page. IMDB itself is a reliable source, but the bio pages may be fan-written, and we can't be sure whether they're fact-checked. Maybe you even wrote it. Don't cite it.
  • ref #23 (Prime-Time Emmys) is a dead link.

More later.

References[edit]

  • Why is celebritywonder.com a reliable reference? You should be able to find a better source for any information presented there.
  • likewise, showbizspy.com quotes an unnamed US fitness magazine as its source. You should be referencing that magazine, not a blog site.
  • more blog sites: boxofficeprophets.com, slashfilm.com, huffingtonpost.com. Find better sources. Huffington Post (ref #61) quotes an Allure article, find that and cite it instead. I'm also dubious of this digitalspy.com.
  • ref #24 (Saturn Awards nominations) is expired
  • refs#43 & 44 both cite the same forbiddenplanet.com article. You should be referencing that article instead. You always want to get as close to the original source of information as possible.

I'm putting the article on hold to give you time to fix these. Do that, and I'll fix your grammar/stylistic issues myself, and pass the article. Dementia13 (talk) 16:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Thanks for reviewing the article, I have a few problems. I've fixed a majority of the prolems suggested by you but the showbiz spy ref has been sourced by another website [1], does this mean it is reliable? What happens if I cannot find another source to support the information? 82.36.43.1 (talk) 19:12, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, that's not enough to make it a reliable source, but that site you gave gives a good clue: Shape magazine was the original source. That shouldn't be hard to find. Dementia13 (talk) 22:15, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi guys! I found a reliable source and took the source in question down for you. I also added some other sources to strengthen to article. Usernamemehr (talk) 23:57, 27 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's good, I like that there are now more print sources listed. Print sources are held to a level of responsibility and have an editor involved, while many or most online sources are free to print anything they want, true or not. There are still two blog sources that need to go: #40 (networkworld.com), which quotes an original article which is itself a blog; and slashfilm.com, which provides no information that couldn't be provided by a reliable source like IMDB. Let me point out a current internet trend, and how it relates to why one website referencing another is not necessarily evidence of reliability. There are a lot of websites now that pay cheap rates for content, and the only way a writer can make any money on these is by cranking out a lot of material. This requires a lot of regurgitating of other websites' material, and there's little to no oversight of the content. I'll always take a print source over an online source, although an online version of a print source is just as good (there are several listed here). BTW, I saw in the history where there was some dispute over the use of bloodydisgusting.com, but they are more of a newsfeed, and I have no problem with their being used as a source. Dementia13 (talk) 15:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the fixing of the grammar :) I fixed the refs leading to slash film and network world. Anymore things to improve? 82.36.43.1 (talk) 17:26, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revisions[edit]

I went through the entire article doing grammar and style cleanup, and I trimmed the lead slightly. The lead functions as an overview of and introduction to the article, so you want to give some facts in the lead while leaving most of the details for the main body of the article. See WP:LEAD for more information. Keeping in mind that the lead serves as a summary of the article, you're free to look at the article and decide if there are any major points that you feel belong in the lead; just think of it as a kind of teaser for what's to come in the article, instead of trying to explain anything in full detail.

Good Article[edit]

I believe that this article now meets all of the criteria for Good Article status. Good work. I think the coverage is reasonably broad without getting sidetracked on any tangents, or going into any irrelevant details. That's tricky to do, especially when covering someone whose career is little longer than 10 years. I don't see any NPOV problems: although it's uncommon to see a bio page that presents only positive information about its subject, I'm not aware of any controversies surrounding Ms. Larter, and I don't see anything with a "fannish", as opposed to an objective, tone to it. You've cleaned up the references in an article that was already well-supported by references. Good work, and as updates are made to the page, please continue to take care to use impeccable sources as references. Dementia13 (talk) 20:14, 28 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Designer Imposters[edit]

Ali Larter? The guy says she starred in this popular 1995 commercial for Designer Imposters Body Spray. Is it true? If so, I think it should be mentioned, especially since it was everywhere on MTV at the time and referenced on Beavis & Butthead. Here's a better quality version. Thank you. 24.113.57.157 (talk) 05:39, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lead image[edit]

In the current picture, her eyes are half closed, where there are other files where she looks much better. Larter hasn't changed much in the past few years anyway, so using one from 2006 or something wouldn't hurt, would it?--GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 04:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm changing it. Let me know if you disagree. --GouramiWatcher (Gulp) 13:52, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
