Regarding Spacey's allegations in Synopsis

In the synopsis, it unfairly portrays Stacey as suspicious or even guilty, yet because all of the allegations were dropped, Kevin is allowed to be seen as innocent, yet to address this at the top is often disputed by other editors who have emotional attachments to the subject matter, claiming that 'not guilty' is not the same as charges dropped, and although I agree it's not the same, Kevin was never found guilty, therefore it is perfectly fine to add that he was 'never found guilty', because he wasn't, therefore he is still innocent in the eyes of the law, and whether you're a high profile person or an average joe, everyone has the right to remain innocent until proven guilty You may argue that in the article discusses in detail that he was not found guilty, this is not addressed within the synopsis, so why is it important to show that he was never found guilty within the synopsis? well, the synopsis acts as a "TLDR" (Too long didn't read) where it briefly addresses the article before addressing it all within categories. So I hope that others agree with my view that wiki should be written within factual and impartial context rather than emotional or hearsay. Hogyncymru (talk) 23:04, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The header mentions the allegations. It doesn't say he was found guilty or assign any positive or negative weight to the allegations, so saying he was not found guilty is kind of superfluous and comes across as defensive imo. Also, just tacking on the short sentence "Kevin was not found guilty of any misdemeanour." at the end of the header really kills the flow and doesn't mesh with the previous sentence. However, I'm new to wikipedia so maybe you folks feel differently. Ficaia (talk) 16:21, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

question about the new picture

hiya I'm a newbie but surely the previous picture was better for his page as it was more recent? it's been replaced by one from 2009 that has a Spanish description on en.wikipedia, why is that? ty ty — Preceding unsigned comment added by PeterSelIers (talkcontribs) 14:54, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

sexual misconducts allegations : why is it allegations and not convictions

As per rhe article : "On May 26, 2022, Spacey was charged with four counts of sexual assault against three men in the UK"

This is a bit more than an allegation, he's been convicted of sexual assault. Allegation is "a claim or assertion that someone has done something illegal or wrong, typically one made without proof". Here there are clear proofs, so I suggest the "allegation" part should be left off. 2A02:2788:2B4:652:2565:52CC:C535:CC9A (talk) 06:37, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A criminal charge is not the same as a conviction. He has not been convicted. ––FormalDude talk 07:27, 19 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fix spelling/grammar - add commas and change "concerned"->"concerns".

Under 2017-present:

Change from: The director of the film Gene Fallaize dismissed concerned about working with Spacey.

Hi, I am troubled by the wording in the third line of the "Theatre - 1981-1986" section. I suspect it should be worded "starring Liv Ullmann and directed by John Neville," unless he both starred in and directed the play.

I don't know the facts to make this change, so if anyone does, could you please make changes if needed? Thanks so much. Chezmoi (talk) 16:16, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
