Archived talk page

I have archived the talk page, as it was incredibly long and had comments dating back to 2003. I believe, for the most part, I did it right (it was my first time doing this), but if you know of a better way, please feel free to modify as necessary. Anakinjmt 02:52, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Video Game

Daniel did not do the voice over of Harry for the fifth Harry Potter game. He was busy doing Equus. Adam Sapp did Harry's voice in the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.171.66 (talk) 02:07, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AKS-74U

Hey, as per talk page, this article was not to be merged with AK-74. It was done anyways. Please don't jump the gun and accuse me of vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.235.30 (talk) 04:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Personnal Life section

Read on a newspaper, Paparazzi section and I've found an article about a breakup between Radcliffe and another British actress, Laura O'Toole about 4 years older then him. I am very surprised that despite that being highly publicized in the UK (and also the US) there is no mention about the relationship even I've several TV reports on questioning about Radcliffe and relationships and stuff like that. I guess maybe part because O'Toole, despite playing on Equus (so as Radcliffe), doesn't have an article. But should it be mentionned in this article since most relations involving celebrities when being actor or whatever are mentionned. I've only seen a few weeks ago about being a rumor, but apparently there was a relationship between the two British actors.--JForget 23:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No proper source for Daniel Radcliffe having any relationship :) Unless you can cite it, of course... BlackPearl14 _{Miss Granger}\^{Pirate Lord-ess} 03:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Checking up Google typing Radcliffe O'Toole, gave me this as first source and it's about their split.--JForget 00:26, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that's strange. And was there any other source than just this? You can put it in, but remember to put a <*ref>(url)</*ref> tag (w/o the stars) right next to it. I'll have to look that up to make sure it isn't something that was posted in a rumour newspaper. BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 04:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added mention of it with a source, apparently they never made it public although there were rumours/reports since November 2007. Actually, there are numerous articles (okay probably some of them are copy and paste from the same news agency via several sites). One of the articles also mentions a relation between Hermione (Emma Watson) and rugby star Tom Ducker (although the latter doesn't even had an article tooJForget 18:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine; just forget about the Emma Watson and Tom Ducker thing, it's never happened. BlackPearl14 ^{Pirate Lord-ess} 04:44, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Until some of the non-gossip sites have an article on that, there's no problem to remove it for now. Anyways, O'Toole doesn't even had an article as of now. Although, I may be wrong but she may pass WP:BIO.--JForget 02:25, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It makes zero difference how many sources are linked to for such a piece of information - the info itself is the stuff of gossip columns, so it would never belong in a proper encyclopaedia entry. Including this trivial info adds no value. If anything, it reduces this 'Daniel Radcliffe' page as a pathetic joke of an encyclopaedia entry. Daniloc (talk) 01:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For your information, I talked to him about just that on his talk page. In addition, the "so wants Jessica thing" (unless it's referring to you) is not true. Sorry. BlackPearl14 ^{Hermione Granger's Muggle Alias} 03:44, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm wondering if the kiss he received from presenter James Corden when accepting his Whatsonstage award is notable enough to be included. There has been a lot of talk about it, particularly with the fact that he seemed to be nearly attacked with it or rather if it was planned as a publicity stunt. ^[1]

His representative said that Radcliffe wasn't embarrassed, saying, "It was a spontaneous gesture that was very funny. Daniel took it in the light-hearted spirit it was intended." ^[2]

He also bought another apartment in New York for USD$4.9 million. More information about it in the reference. ^[3]

Contributors really need to understand what is typically included in a biographical entry in an encyclopaedia. I'm afraid that excludes a lot of trivial information that would be found on fan websites or blogs, and the tabloids. As it is, there's too much of that stuff already, threatening to debase Wikipedia into Wikinquirer. Please don't add any more. Daniloc (talk) 20:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Health Concerns

From Wikipedia:Verifiability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:V) 'Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy'.

By that standard, information that originates from the following article from thesun.co.uk does not qualify. Not only does that tabloid have no reputation for fact-checking, its reputation is for outright fabrication.
