Talk:Kaley Cuoco

Info Pic

We, as an encyclopedia, must do our best to reflect a subject to the best of our ability. Using pics that are available to us that are the most recent picture of the subject is preferred as it's the best way to reflect how that person looks now. It's different with subjects who are deceased, but the living should match up with how they look now. Cuoco doesn't have long hair anymore. We have a pic from 2014 at our disposal, so we should very much use it. Rusted AutoParts 13:30, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

But the 2013 photo is better quality. It's quality that matters, how recent something is second. That's why there's older pictures from the last decade on some articles, because there either wasn't any recent photos or they were of bad quality. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 13:47, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Indeed, there are plenty of biographical articles, both for alive and dead people, that use images based on quality, not whether or not it's the most recent version. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:02, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Concur with above that quality takes precendence over date. Snuggums (talk / edits) 15:14, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Which then leaves us with an outdated look at the subject. I get it when we don't have a more recent picture, but we do. But clearly how pretty it is holds more water than being as accurate as possible. Its the standard we hold in text, why is it different for pictures? Why is Wikipedia so fundamentally fucked up that there's guidelines that can overule other guidelines despite those guidelines still being used to enforce a standard, something we clearly lack. What happened to consistency? Certain articles have infoboxes for the person and others don't because the users felt it's unneeded. All I ask for is for consistency. There are articles out there that insist upon having the most recent picture, regardless of prettiness. so many double standards, it's infuriating. Rusted AutoParts 16:28, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Rusted AutoParts, in your original edit summary reverting the current photo back to the newer you stated, "we go with the most recent picture of the subject", suggesting policy dictates the most recent photo of an individual goes in the infobox. I know of no such policy. What's more, if we truly should always go with the most recent photo of an individual, that would mean we would be putting up badly framed, badly cropped, poorly lighted, and poorly positioned photos over photos that better meet MOS. Sorry, but when it comes to infobox photos, we need to include photos that best meets MOS in the way of how the photo presents the article subject to readers. If that means an older photo, then so be it. When a more recent photo best presenting the individual to readers becomes available (and wouldn't be a copyvio), then we update and add that photo. Common sense, please. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 17:10, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

What's common sense to me is reflecting the subject to the most recent time, but whatever. Rusted AutoParts 17:21, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

In practice, that's generally an unrealistic aim as we often don't have a photo of "the most recent time" and that's certainly the case here. Cuoco looks different now to what she did is 14 months ago when File:Kaley Cuoco ASPCA awards - Oct 2014 (cropped).jpg was taken, so that image doesn't represent her currently. --AussieLegend (✉) 09:40, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

As previous editors have stated, we don't go by most recent. Recentism comes after quality. Quality comes first. We could have a picture of her from 2007 if the image was better quality than the one we have now. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 18:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

Name Change

I notice there's a comment stating not to remove "Sweeting" until her divorce is finalized. Is there an established rule regarding this? She seems to already prefer going by just her maiden name (See http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2016/01/11/bachelor-ben-higgins-invites-kaley-cuoco-to-come-on-bachelor-live/ or her credit in the most recent TBBT episode.

Are finalized divorce proceedings public record or are we just waiting for a source confirming they are finalized? Is her current legal name more important than her preferred name? DaRkAgE7_[Talk] 04:26, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Preferred names are first, I'm sure. The Sweeting surname was removed from her commercial for the Humane Society and The Big Bang Theory, at least that's what I saw. Drake Bell is not the actor/singer's legal name, but it's "Jared Drake Bell". We go by preferred names mainly, and how they are credited in their works and/or sources. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 04:33, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Per WP:Article titles, we name articles based off of what a subject is most commonly known as. It can very much be different from one's legal name. The hidden note was placed because her name change and divorce weren't finalized. "Sweeting" can be removed from the lead once the divorce (and thus her name change) are legally finalized. She is credited now as just "Kaley Cuoco" in The Big Bang Theory, but television credits don't always reflect legal identity. Snuggums (talk / edits) 05:05, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

I have removed Sweeting from her name, now that her divorce has been finalized. CSLoomis ( talk | contribs ) 16:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

The Golden Raspberry Awards Nomination is not on her Awards list

I know the Golden Razzies isn't the most prestigious of awards, but it is still an official award. She was nominated for Worst Supporting Actress for Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (voice only) and The Wedding Ringer as Eleanor and Gretchen Palmer, the awards haven't been given out yet, but I thought it should at least be mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.214.151.121 (talk) 13:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Personal Beliefs

I understand that Cuoco's page is semi-protected but advocate for the following to be added to her Personal Life section:

Cuoco has openly admitted to having undergone cosmetic surgery. Specifically, a rhinoplasty, dermal filler for a neck wrinkle, and breast implants, which she described as “the best thing I ever did”. In an interview with Women’s Health, she asserted that “as much as you want to love your inner self, I’m sorry, you also want to look good”.

Cuoco received significant media attention surrounding controversial remarks made in an interview with Redbook magazine. When asked if she considered herself a feminist, Cuoco responded: “Is it bad if I say no? I was never that feminist girl demanding equality, but maybe that’s because I’ve never really faced inequality…I cook for Ryan five nights a week: it makes me feel like a housewife. I love that. I know it sounds old-fashioned, but I like the idea of women taking care of their men”. In subsequent interviews, Cuoco has apologized for and retracted these statements, telling Cosmopolitan magazine, “of course I’m a f*cking feminist. Look at me. I bleed feminism.”

KSayuri (talk) 16:55, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

The feminism part might be worth including, though the cosmetic surgery bit is superfluous either way. Snuggums (talk / edits) 17:09, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback, I have added the feminism part and left the rest. KSayuri (talk) 05:58, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Missing one of her television shows!

She appear on the television show call Charmed, I think on the last season, as Billy Jenkins, its weird not see that show on her page, since it was the first time I saw her on television and felled in love of her! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2806:109F:4:25F4:C95F:FBD8:8E1C:7A11 (talk) 04:23, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Living Celebrities =

I am still not sure what relevance a living TV star has to an "encyclopedia". So she knows how to speak up for herself. That's certainly a breath of fresh air versus the common whiny expectation. If you want it, show why you should get it and demand it. Isn't that capitalism, ie. the value proposition? This whole thing is so tiring, i.e. the inundation of Wikipedia becoming a rag for the rich and famous to show off their exploits, i.e. their resume. 216.195.89.58 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 12:31, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Residence

The German wiki page says Kaley Cuoco resides in the Los Angeles Suburb of Tarzana. Halenane (talk) 20:17, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

We cannot use the German wiki as a source, but if they cite a source, we might be able to use that source. - SummerPhD^v2.0 23:38, 17 September 2019 (UTC)

Minor point, but someone please fix this anyway

The statement that she landed a role on 8 Simple Rules is inaccurate, because that wasn't the name of the show when she landed the role; it was originally named 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Daughter; it wasn't until later that they shortened the name.47.139.42.46 (talk) 05:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Fair point. I have made an adjustment to the "Career" section. I don't think anything needs to be done elsewhere, where the references are to the series as a whole, and the short title is more appropriate. GrindtXX (talk) 11:20, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

Early live section missing?

it is a bit weird that references to parents and siblings are missing .. what if found is: Kaley Christine Cuoco was born on November 30, 1985, in Camarillo, California, to parents Layne Ann Wingate and Gary Carmine Cuoco. She has a younger sister, Briana — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.254.103.200 (talk) 19:51, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Both of Kaley's parents and her sister are mentioned by name in that section. SNUGGUMS (talk / edits) 20:04, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

Other names in info box.

Cuoco divorced Sweeting so should the name Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting be in the info box? Govvy (talk) 14:46, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

In some of her work she is credited as Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting, so IMO yes it should. GrindtXX (talk) 14:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, I've seen the name on Big Bang, but it was only for a very short time. Seems a bit strange to me, but okay. Govvy (talk) 22:43, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

Briana

Rethinking the sentence on Kaley's sister Briana. It's now Her sister, Briana, is an actress and singer who competed on the fifth season of The Voice and has a recurring role on the HBO Max series, The Flight Attendant[7] and on Harley Quinn as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. I think it should be Her sister, Briana, is an actress and singer. When Briana is notable enough for an article, it will include her various credits. Thoughts? Schazjmd (talk) 20:10, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Agree that The Voice could probably be removed; but as she worked alongside Kaley on The Flight Attendant and Harley Quinn that does seem relevant information for this article. GrindtXX (talk) 20:22, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
