Talk:Elizabeth Taylor

Her home address.

To whomever keeps adding her street address -- it has absolutely no informational value in this article and has been removed several times by several different authors. Take a hint -- respect her privacy and stop listing it here. Wikipedia is a source of knowledge and general information, not a tabloid.

Thanks.

Elizabeth is Retired from Acting

Yes, Elizabeth Taylor is retired from acting. Although she still is very active in her fight against AIDS thru The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation and AMFAR. As well as creator and designer for the House of Taylor - a fragrances and jewlery company a.k.a. The Elizabeth Taylor Cosmetics Company.

I believe because of her numerous health problems Elizabeth Taylor cannot be insured to work in films.

Michael Jackson

Just a small thing actually, but where the article mentions that she spoke out in favour Michael Jackson the final bit 'He was aquitted' seems rather lazily taped on. It's probably just me and my nit-picking nature, but could someone please remove this entirely as it is not realy needed or, at least, alter it to '...Michael Jackson, for which he was later aquitted.'

"Icon" ???

I'm sorry but the heading "Icon: 1970-present" is simply ridiculous. Sure it was not her prime, but I don't think its right to list paragraphs upon paragraphs that sum up on a few years in each of the above section, then sum up the last 40 years of her career as "icon". this needs to be broken up.Excuseme99 (talk) 22:51, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

default image

Several users, such as WildHartLive, have pushed for more recent photos on other pages. So why is her default picture 53 years old when there are plenty of more recent photos available on wiki commons?Excuseme99 (talk) 22:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Excuseme, do not single me out as some point in trying to construct a rationale argument. You make no rationale argument whatsoever. You came in, arbitrarily moved around a bunch of images, despite the fact that three other editors have reverted your changes and gave reasons for having done so. There was no consideration to why the images you changed were placed where they were, nor a solid reason given for your changes. Secondly, either learn to write my username properly or do not write it. Thirdly, I render opinions on a case by case basis. I have never solely advocated for a more recent photo anywhere. Finally, this is an inappropriate way to attempt to discuss something - you're just complaining with no foundation other than "it happened here". The first time you made those changes [1], you left no rationale. After I reverted it, you actually had the nerve to complain that I didn't leave an edit summary and reverted it wholesale to the previous version [2]. Each time you've done this, despite more than one editor disagreeing, you've just reverted to the same version you first edited [3] [4] [5], and yet, you find a different reason to argue for the same changes in your edit summaries. Some of them contain personal attacks, some argue something unrelated and some are illogical. And yet, you have never made a post to this page until today. This narrowminded view that your changes are the consensus is wrong. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Why is the European date format used?

Yes, she was born in Europe, but she was raised in America and most likely used the mm/dd/yyyy format. —Preceding unsigned comment added by NKS22 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

How ironic that, for date posted, your entry reads: 07:06, 28 June 2009

Good.

Retired?

Is Dame Liz Taylor in Retirement or does she just do things periodically? I read she may be coming back on the small screen to do sitcoms...Is this true? She is amazing Jdcrackers (talk) 23:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Lung cancer

The article should mention her battle with lung cancer in 1975. (92.13.213.218 (talk) 18:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC))

Heart Surgery

Miss Elizabeth Taylor announced on her twitter page today she is going in for heart surgery. Should this be noted? I think considering her age and past health battles - I think it should be. I don't know, maybe I'm just a very worried fan :) Chriskardashian 19:08, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Semi-protection

• 22:48, 25 June 2008 Acalamari protected Elizabeth Taylor ‎ (Likely target due to event [edit=autoconfirmed:move=autoconfirmed])

I protected this article over a year ago due to when someone mentioned that she had died. Tony Sidaway has said on my talk page that he reckons this should be unprotected, as it's been over a year now. I don't mind if this is unprotected or not. What do others think? Acalamari 15:24, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Well I'm in favor of reviewing semiprotection. Like Acalamari I would like to hear comments from regular editors before doing anything. --TS 05:51, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Since this is still protected, would someone please edit an error? In the section in re Tayler's early roles, she is stated as playing "Helen Burrowes" in "Jane Eyre". The character's name is "Helen Burns". Tredzwater (talk) 01:06, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

And yet, you spell Taylor as "Tayler". What possible credence could we place in a post like that? -- Jack of Oz ... speak! ... 22:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Really? the fact that the OP misspelled a word on a talk page is more important to you than the fact that the article has a mistake? You could have, I don't know...maybe checked the veracity of his suggestion instead of getting petty. here, let me google that for you: [6] [7] --Uzetaab (talk) 10:24, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
