Talk:Malin Akerman

Wikipedia is not a viewer's guide to naked flesh in movies

If and when an actress has "exposed her nude upper body" is simply not relevant in a biographic article in an encyclopedia. This is not a matter of withholding "truth" - there are a wide number of equally irrelevant albeit true facts that I would remove in the same fashion (e.g. what brand of shoes she was wearing in the latest episode of The Comeback). Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Furthermore, statements like this reduce the credibility of Wikipedia, by making it look like "Beavis and Butt-head's guide to naked flesh in movies". There must be more relevant things to mention about Malin Akerman's acting than the fact that she's once taken her shirt off in front of the camera. / Alarm 12:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I would support you Alarm, but for erotica-fans like me, it is somewhat interesting. Now I can look her up here: [1]. //Fred-Chess 20:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Singer?

It states in the first paragraph that she is a "model, actress, and singer", but I have yet to find any information on the internet regarding a singing career or album releases. There is also no mention of her so-called singing career anywhere in this article either, so I thought the term should be removed since there is no creditable information regarding anything about her singing career. If she does actually have a singing background, someone should add some creditable information about it to the article, and don't forget your sources. Is this singing in the shower? For that, I'd gladly buy a ticket...

Picture

While the above link is interesting, I think this would make for a much better picture, though I'm not exactly sure it's fair use: [2] Those copyright laws are a bitch; but someone can try uploading it since I don't know all the rules and criteria, etc. --Wikiwøw ­­ 20:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Malin Åkerman → Malin Akerman — Fix an improper, undiscussed cut-and-paste move. Malin Akerman is the spelling she herself uses on her own web page, a proper spelling for this Canadian-since-a-baby. I changed the empty-but-for-BLP-template Talk:Malin Åkerman to redirect to the still-existing Talk:Malin Akerman, if anything further needs to be done there include that as well. —Gene Nygaard (talk) 13:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

Any additional comments:

Not only had the page been moved by cut-and-paste, but all reference to the Akerman spelling had been exorcised. Furthermore the discussion of Swedish å equals German o (no mention of English) might create a misleading impression that it could also be spelled Malin Okerman.

For this kind of thing, you can probably just use WP:SPLICE. The cut-and-paster can initiate a normal move request if necessary after that. Dekimasuよ! 04:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Dekimasu. I wasn't aware of that, and will probably be using it some. In this particular case, I likely would have gone to WP:RM anyway, to take care of it now. Gene Nygaard (talk) 09:31, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
