Better Pic?

The current picture is deeply unflattering. Couldn't this be improved...? 213.112.133.174 (talk) 15:14, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To the people claiming the 1980 birth date

Can you provide reliable, independent sources for the date of birth and other information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.35.161.105 (talk) 19:37, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citation for 1977 birth year: https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bgivenname%3Avanessa%20%2Bsurname%3Aferlito~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.215.187 (talk) 01:35, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see the birth date was yet again reverted back to 1980. Public records (listed above) and a 1998 magazine article (http://nymag.com/nymetro/nightlife/barsclubs/features/2937) support the 1977 birth year, not 1980. If the birth date is again reverted back to 1980, I am going to request the birth date be removed altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.215.187 (talk) 04:57, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

tv.com says 1980, but that's as reliable as the "EDIT" button next to the "BIOGRAPHY" header. I suspect there may be an active campaign here to take three years off this aging actress's age. Wbm1058 (talk) 11:57, 22 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there is an edit war happening as someone again reverted the birth year back to 1980 without citing sources. Public records stat 1977. I'm going to ask that the birth date be removed or something because this is fricking ridiculous! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.185.215.187 (talk) 04:12, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fed up with the edit war regarding Vanessa's birth date. Can the birth date be removed altogether? Like what happened with Sofia Shinas Or can we go with the birth date supported by public documents? 72.185.215.187 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:18, June 23, 2015‎ (UTC)

This edit war has been going on for over a decade now. The initial May 18, 2004 version of the page said she was born in 1980, and the eleventh edit to the article, on May 11, 2005, changed it to 1977. Apparently it's been back and forth ever since. On the side of 1977, we have public records–which find very few people with the same name, and seem accurate (I looked myself up, and they have a surprising amount of detail)–and a 1998 New York magazine article. On the side of 1980, we have what seems like a major effort to get the date "published" on as many crowd-sourced sites as possible (though they seem to be having trouble getting IMDb to fall in line). A surprising dearth of biographical profiles of this actress, with an actual author's name attached to them. Wbm1058 (talk) 01:07, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The external link www.westlord.com/vanessa-ferlito-biography was previously included on the article. For whatever reason, it's a blacklisted link now, so cut & paste. Wbm1058 (talk) 01:19, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wbm1058: As you're an Admin now, I just wanted to let you know that I've removed the birthdate from the article under WP:BLPPRIVACY. If this article's DOB issue has been problematic before, you may want to put it on your watchlist for a while, just to make sure the DOB edit warring doesn't flare up again... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 03:55, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks for keeping an eye on this. Wbm1058 (talk) 17:24, 21 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GRRRRR...Someone changed the damned birth date again. IMDb also uses 1977, as I am the one who gave them the correct information. Can we please lock this page or delete the birth date altogether?
