Why "feminist artist"?

While Poehler is an artist and may indeed consider herself a feminist, there is nothing in this article to distinguish her as a "feminist artist". Find something that supports the label or remove it. Treybien 18:46 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed this "She was promoted from featured player to full cast member on SNL, and is only the second person (the first is Eddie Murphy) to earn this distinction." from the article, as I'm 99% sure it is not correct. I believe I remember Horatio Sanz and Seth Meyers being featured players, and probably Maya Rudolph and Chris Parnell, as well. My general recollection is that at least 1/4 of the SNL regulars started as 'featured players'. Niteowlneils 15:57, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I think Rachel Dratch was, too. Rick K 05:25, Aug 24, 2004 (UTC)

IMDb agrees[1]. Niteowlneils 02:06, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Actually, I think bascailly all the performers start as "featured players", generally for the first two years, after which they are promoted to full cast member. The sentence should have said that Poehler was the only one other than Murphy to be made a featured player during her very first season. Whoever originally wrote that left the important bit out. I've corrected it. -R. fiend 07:04, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Impressions?

Is there any precedent for a list of impressions that she does? If not, is there any reason to include this? It's the bulk of the article. Can't we just say "She does many impressions."? MrCheshire 02:30, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

oh quite you're whinning

Wow. Terrific grammar there. Much better without the inane list, Cheshire. Well done. -R. fiend 23:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?

Can't anyone find a more flattering picture? She can be quite the attractive woman, that picture does not do her justice... Jersey John 04:17, 23 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She IS an attractive person, her beauty cannot be impaired by whatever disadvantageous pictures are taken. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.96.211 (talk) 12:30, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to portray subjects accurately, not flatteringly. Does the picture identify her correctly? Yes, it does. 141.213.220.186 02:13, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
