Talk:Katherine Moennig

"Replaceability"

The L Word publicity shot of Moennig as "Shane" is currently tagged as "replaceable," which means that someone thinks we can get a free alternative that depicts substantially the same information. A lot of people ignore the information that comes with context and mistakenly think all pictures of people are equally interchangeable. Though I think a screenshot of her from an episode would be even more informative (anyone?), this definitely provides different information than a candid street shot would.

I think we need to revisit what #1 of WP:FUC says:

1. No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information. If unfree material can be transformed into free material, it should be done instead of using a "fair use" defense. For example, the information in a newspaper article can easily be used as a basis of an original article and then cited as a reference. Maps and diagrams can often be redrawn from original sources, though simply "tracing" copyrighted material does not make it free. Neither photographs nor sound clips, however, can usually be "transformed" in this way. However, if the subject of the photograph still exists, a freely-licensed photograph could be taken.

That's pretty clear to me. This is a public person who is, obviously, still alive. Although it may be dificult to find or take a fair use image, it's completely possible. Because of this, it fails first fair use criterion.

I'm a fan of the subject of this article (as I am assuming some of the editors here are), but policy is policy and if we ever want this article (or any other article for that matter) to be on the level of a good article or featured article, then things like this need to get cleaned up. This is why I've also made recent reference, footnote, and external link fixes throughout the article. It is my intention for any article I edit to meet good article standards. Removing/replacing failed fair use images is a part of that. Roguegeek (talk) 16:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Note to others: please see continued discussion at the image's talk page, where I point out that FUC #1 requires that the replacement must "adequately give the same information," and reiterate that all images of a person are not equally interchangeable. Postdlf 19:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

"1976 or 1977"

For awhile, IIRC, her birthday was listed as a 1976 birthday. Any verification that she was born in '77?

1977 confirmed (dedicated reference added, see article Introduction) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.66.138.14 (talk) 16:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

BLP violations by IP

This jumping IP insists on reinstating this problematic edit, stating things that are not in the sources. It is original synthesis, at best. What does everyone else think? Nymf (talk) 13:56, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Trying to assume good faith it might be the IP is trying to use one of the comments on that post as a reference, but an anonymous comment is very far from a reliable source, so it can't be used here. Siawase (talk) 17:25, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
