Talk:Joy Behar

I love JOY!!!! She is the only good thing the View has going for them!!!!!!

Atheist

yes/no

Am I the only one who notices that "Moron" is listed as one of her occupations? I completely agree, but It doesn't seem fair...

Continual deletions of factual statements, quotes, and sources

I'm concerned that two individuals are continually deleting text and links to current and past Behar controversies. These items are factual and duly sourced to reliable sources. Some include video of Behar herself.

Someone is repeatedly vandalizing this article and removing and whitewashing any reference to Behar's Jewish comments. Also, Behar's quoted conversation with her mother thinking she was Bette Midler is pure Wikifiction.

I am concerned about the vandalism that the Joy Behar article is incurring, mainly from Wikinazis interested in censoring and reverting information they don't agree with. While the Wikinazis are indeed very diligent in monitoring other articles to ensure accuracy and legitimacy, in this case they are consistently deleting well-supported facts posted by users merely interested in documenting the wonderful Joy Behar.

== [[ LISTEN here! and listen closely. Someone need not touch Joy's page because she fine the way she is. Now for whoever changed her picture, you're a meddling fool! She looks like Barbara Walters in this picture. Someone needs to fix this picture and put a picture that represents the Joy Behar that I am used to! Quit it !]] == —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Josiejoybeehar (talk • contribs) 03:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC).

Birthday

IMDB and NNDB list Ms. Behar's birth year as 1943. Someone from an anonymous IP keeps changing the year to 1942 (usually leaving a half deleted reference tag), saying that NNDB is not accurate and saying they got the date from Public Service records. We need a specific reference, not just a vague reference to Public Service records, ie what specific records show this date, and where can we find them. If it's something only the poster has access to it can't be used as a source. I'm not going to change it back for now to give the anonymous poster time to come up with a real reference, but if they don't in a few days I will change it back to the IMDB date, which is currently the only source we have access to.--HarryHenryGebel 15:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• • Yeah and whoever is listing her as celebrating her 53rd birthday in 2006... Learn your basic math 2007-1942 means that she is 64 years old!! She is smoking hot for 64 years old!!!!

• • • assholes - she wasnt born in 1922.

Intimidation from Bill O'Reilly and Fox News

Several months ago Rosie and Joy alluded to Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment lawsuit. This is what happened next according to Rosie at rosie.com:

“ when joy and i

alluded to bill oreillys sex scandal on the view

we were told the following day that we couldn’t bring it up anymore or else bill o would “go after” all the hosts of the view

”

Legal filing about Bill O'Reilly's sexual harassment lawsuit are here.

Reliable Source Reminder

IMDB is claimed as a source for three statements in this article. IMDB does not meet the Wikipedia:Reliable Sources guidelines, since it is a site made of user contributions, much like Wikipedia -- so claiming IMDB as a source for a Wikipedia article is about as legitimate as claiming Wikipedia itself as a source.

Of course, it is just a guideline, so I won't edit out the reference in this case. But I think WP editors would be well-advised to look elsewhere for sources in future. ♥♥♥ 18.252.5.63 13:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

fidgeting

An editor keeps inserting unsupported OR about Behar's fidgeting with her pen and the like. This is not notable, nor is it something that any citations have been provided for - I'm not talking about whether or not it is true, the issue is whether independent sources have cited it as having some kind of significance. I also think we need to keep WP:BLP in mind. I've removed this material twice and I don't think it should be allowed to stand in the article. The editor who has inserted it also has not given any reason in edit summary for its inclusion. Tvoz |talk 21:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

notable to me TV2007 22:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, sorry, but that's not the way it works. You need to read WP:BLP, and also WP:NOTE and WP:OR. Please stop adding this material. Tvoz |talk 23:47, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

no! belongs! TV2007 07:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

derogatory is bullshit, tvoz. Saying someone figets if they do isn't derogatory in less you're crazy ExcellentEditor 10:10, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

And while you're reading, try WP:CIVIL for your edit summary. Tvoz |talk 16:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Next time don't say someone is being derogatory when they're not and maybe people won't tell you that what you said was bullshit. Go read WP Civil yourself, numbnuts TV2007 18:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

lmao! Thanks TV2007, but I could have told him my self I wasn't reading that shit he put their for me to read ExcellentEditor 18:07, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm not a fan of Joy Behar at all but I don't understand why her fidgeting is important at all? Frankly I don't care. And if she has some sort of nervous problem that's her business and it's disrespectful for us to point out an issue she can't help. I'd much rather point out all the dumb things she says if we want to criticize her.Kgj08 (talk) 14:35, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You're right - it is not important. That's why it's not in the article any more. Tvoz |talk 20:43, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Real Time with Bill Maher

I added the section about her calling Michelle Malkin a "selfish bitch" and then later criticizing John McCain for not correcting one of his supporters when they called Hillary Clinton a "selfish bitch". This has been a pretty big story right now and should be mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kgj08 (talk • contribs) 15:56, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Somebody took out my source for the Real Time section. Why? I documented the video on Youtube. I would think that the actual video of what happened would be the best source possible since it can't take her statements out of context as an article would. Leave that source please.Kgj08 (talk) 14:34, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Far-Left side?

I question the accuracy and lack of bias in the easy characterization of "...Behar stands on the far-Left side of the political aisle." Whatever the intent, it reads like the way conservative commentators characterize anyone to their left in an effort to make their views appear non-mainstream. As far as the article goes, Ms. Behar's are not.

I didn't see any source for the POV assertion, so I've deleted it while leaving the list of positions (which should also have sources). ·:· Will Beback ·:· 21:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Is her father, Gino Occhiuto, the one who shows up in the Ellis Island record as having emigrated in 1924 from Fagnano Castello, Calabria? Badagnani (talk) 05:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
