Miscellaneous/untitled
[edit]Her DOB given is not the oe listed at IMDb. Is there a source for the one stated here? -R. fiend 17:27, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
TV.com had that one.
http://www.tv.com/emily-deschanel/person/107254/biography.html
IMDB's is quite different, now I'm confused.

Can somebody get the copyright information behind the image of Emily Deschanel which was recently removed?
69.138.160.180 02:20, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
Guess I'm wrong about it. That TV.com article even contradicts the birthdate further down. And most of what I see Googling it turns up the Jan 4, 1978 one. I'll change it back. My bad. TotalTommyTerror 17:35, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
patronymists?
[edit]What is that? Is that a misspelling?
- Patronymic is a word; 'patronymists' is not. Could be plural of 'patronymist' which is also not a word, FYI. Did the WP editor/author mean "someone who is an authority in 'patronymics' ? Just asking, Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 01:21, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
new better image
[edit]why cant i put an image of her that is from imdb but actually taken from wire image? Dioxholster (talk) 01:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- It's a matter of copyright, and Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously. Read WP:NFC and WP:C. Also note that claiming fair-use for a copyrighted image of a living person is not permitted by Wikipedia on that person's bio page. Ward3001 (talk) 01:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
what if i got it from imdb photo place. not sure if its licensed there, but at the time it was obtainable, not at the moment though. i got the pic from jan 20 2008 and it had vespa as the name, who i think is the photographer. which was something like this: EmilyDesch_Vespa_7744721_400.jpg thats all i know about the image. obviously the name implies that it can be reused. Dioxholster (talk) 16:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, but no. Everything on IMDb is copyrighted. In fact, you must assume that any image is copyrighted unless it specifically states otherwise. About the only way to get an acceptable image in a case like this is if you take it yourself or you get permission from the copyright holder.
- "obviously the name implies that it can be reused": Certainly not obvious to me. There's nothing in the name "EmilyDesch_Vespa_7744721_400.jpg" that says it can be reused. Ward3001 (talk) 17:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yikes, I hardly recognized her from the photo. A new one needed for sure.Aleister Wilson (talk) 12:01, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
- That is the ugliest photo of Emily Deschanel I have ever seen in my life. ----
- What would be wrong with using the photo from temperance "bones" brannan? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MorganPratt (talk • contribs) 08:47, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
- As I'll mention further down, we need separation of actor (or actress) and character. How about we move [[File:Emily Deschanel.JPG|thumb|Emily Deschanel at 23rd [[Genesis Awards]], March 2009.]], currently used in the 'Personal life' section, to the infobox.

- I think that violates the guidelines prohibiting personal attacks. Or does that refer to attacks against other users? 18:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

Temperance Brennan vs. Temperance Brennan
[edit]The article on the TV series "Bones" expresses the relation between Kathy Reichs's books and the TV series a bit better. The two characters named Temperance Brennan are not supposed to be identical. The TV series character is "inspired" by Kathy Reichs herself. Both characters are female forensic anthropologists, but the similarity ends there.Karlpov (talk) 20:28, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
This is better discussed on the talk pages for the book character and the TV show character. 22:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Pronunciation
[edit]How does Emily Deschanel pronounce her surname? Just as it is read in French? It could help foreigners (like myself) if Wikipedia pages for famous people consistently included an indication as to how to pronounce their names, when that pronunciation is not obvious for someone who has learnt English as a foreign language. Thank you very much. --Eduarodi (talk) 22:20, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- Some bio article do contain pronunciation. That's a hard thing to source because most celebrities rarely speak their own name, and for some of us to speculate would be inappropriate. As a very relevant example, the talk page for Emily's sister, Zooey, has had more than one discussion about how the name is pronounced that amounted to nothing but speculation by editors and (of course) lots of disagreement. What some people have an incredibly hard time understanding is that it is completely irrelvant how you or I might pronounce her name. The ultimate authority on this is Emily Deschanel. If you can find a reliable source that verifies how she pronounces it, then by all means please let us know. Ward3001 (talk) 23:49, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- You gave me an idea and I tried to find interviews of her on YouTube. But all I found was how the interviewers called her. And they all called her /day-shun-nel/, where the NEL part takes the stress and rhymes with "well". It still isn't what she calls herself, but at least it's what others call her in her presence, and she doesn't bother to correct anyone. I don't know the American idiosyncrasy in that respect (whether you'd correct how people pronounce your name, or if it isn't rude to ask someone directly how they pronounce theirs). And as a matter of fact, here in Argentina, when people have "difficult" surnames to pronounce, they usually say "say it as you want". The very president of my country has one of those names, and I've counted as many as four different pronunciations to it, though the president herself is always consistent with one. --Eduarodi (talk) 03:22, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- No, it's not rude to ask someone how to pronounce his or her name, but it's rarely done in an interview, probably because the interviewer already knows how to say it. I would guess what your heard from the interviewer is correct, but we never know for sure unless she says it. Ward3001 (talk) 17:23, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I'll keep searching... Thank you for your attention, and in any case I have a provisional answer to my question... --Eduarodi (talk) 04:40, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
- She pronounces it "day-shanELL" (not sure the right way to render that phonetically). Fixentries (talk) 03:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
- I believe there's an interview with Craig Ferguson, available on YouTube, where she compliments his proper pronunciation of her name. Might be worth looking into. Jhfortier (talk) 20:36, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
- The page for her sister spells the family name as 'day-shə-NEL'. 22:30, 29 April 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism
[edit]Someone inserted _______ (personal accusation) based on a video interview. I removed it immediately since this is a living person bio, and the video doesn't reflect the claim. Just for future reference. 02:45, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
Linkspam
[edit]The link to a page claiming to be Emily Deschanel's official website has been removed twice. This link is linkspam, and the users involved have been warned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhfortier (talk • contribs) 04:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
mona lisa
[edit]is it just me or has any one else noticed that bones really resembles the mona lisa? did the show do this with lighting and makeup or does she just look like the painting in real life? glenda —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.189.46.40 (talk) 04:56, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
how about a decent photo? she is quite beautiful, and the main photo of her does her NO justice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.235.191 (talk) 03:56, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
Two comments: First of all, the person making the comment in the first paragraph should be discussing this on the page for Temperance "Bones" Brennan. This is the second (make that third, if you include the suggestion to use [[File:Temperance Brennan.jpg|250px]] , with caption 'Photograph of Brennan, as portrayed by Emily Deschanel.' as the infobox photo) time someone's been talking about Temperance Brennan on the actress's talk page. Please, people. Separation of actor (or actress) and character here. Again, this may violate the rules on personal attacks, but I'm still unclear as to whether that refers to personal attacks in general or just those against other users. 18:54, 5 May 2012 (UTC)
- Whatever it is, I'll remove the edit myself before we have to debate about it. 15:51, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
vegan
[edit]she isnt a real vegan, due in the photo she is using carmine wich is made by killng cochineal. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.217.172.243 (talk) 23:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Then we can deduce that she is a dietary vegan (someone who observes veganism only in their eating habits, whereas an ethical vegan observes veganism in choice of products, in addition to eating habits. Once we get someone to confirm this, we'll put that on the content page. 22:12, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
Religion
[edit]Just out of curiosity, since she portrays an atheist in the TV series Bones, does anyone know if she is actually an atheist in real life? TomStar81 (Talk) 00:08, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Although this seems to be a popular question on the internet (per a quick google search) it doesn't seem like there's any reputable information on the topic. If you stumble across something, however, maybe it could be added to the article? Jhfortier (talk · contribs ) 01:01, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
Completely random. Let's have that removed. 15:51, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
Family
[edit]The information that the great grandfather of Emily and Zooey Deschanel would be Paul, president of the French Republic, is false. Paul Deschanel had two sons, one died in 1939, the other was born, lived, and died in Paris in 1963 and was a member of the Chamber of Deputies until 1940. Caleb Deschanel was born in 1944 in Philadelphia. His father could have the same name that a son of Paul Deschanel, but none of them has lived in the United States. The article in Paris-Match in reference contains an error of a journalist 82.240.23.21 (talk) 23:12, 23 February 2011 (UTC)Fenimore 22.02.11
- That's all very interesting, and possibly true, but your private information doesn't trump a reliable source. I'm going to revert your deletions in both articles for now. When you have provided a reliable source to back up what you say, then we can deal with it, possibly by providing both sources and stating that Paris Match claims that they are the great granddaughters of a former French President, but that is not true. We simply document the conflicting information in the article. -- Brangifer (talk) 20:22, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- BTW, if you can source the information you provide using reliable sources, it would be a good addition to the Paul Deschanel article. -- Brangifer (talk) 21:53, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- Caleb Deschanel's father was an engineer, whereas the only surviving son of Paul Deschanel was a politician. The information about a family link between the former French president and Caleb Deschanel (and therefore his daughters) is not a reliable source. Moreover, if it was true, I believe we would find more than only 1 source of information on this. At this stage, it has the value of a rumor and not a verified information worth including in the wikipedia article. Olympe 404 (talk • contribs) 18:04, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
A French genealogist has published their research on the subject [1]. While I wouldn't necessarily use it to source info added to the article, I would at this point use it as a justification to remove the Paul Deschanel info.Elen of the Roads (talk) 13:51, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
Details of Deschanel's child
[edit]Per WP:BLPPRIVACY and WP:NPF and WP:BLP in general, we should not be disclosing details about a non-notable minor child in this biography on Wikipedia. The sources are available if people wish to read more about them. Also, the documentation of {{infobox person}} precludes placing more information than the number of children in that particular field; please observe this as a Manual of Style guideline. Elizium23 (talk) 13:50, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
- Didn't she have a second child with Bones co-star David Boreanaz? And to that end, didn't she also marry Boreanaz? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.160.60 (talk) 16:19, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
pregnancy
[edit]Did the actress's pregnancy correlate with the character's pregnancy on the show? -ErinHowarth (talk) 07:17, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, both pregnancies were written into the show. The first one was why they had Bones and Booth hook up then Bones got pregnant as a result. Easier to do that than have the father be one of her random dates. There's been speculation that starting near the end of season 11 she was pregnant a 3rd time, and she did exhibit similar weight gain then and through the short final season, but no announcements, no denials, have been made. Can't find that anyone has directly asked her in interviews. Bizzybody (talk) 06:16, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Jury Duty
[edit]Three sentences about here early life, four sentences about how she used her celebrity to get out of jury duty, despite her patriotic eagerness to serve. Nice sense of balance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:7081:4F06:2869:E00A:6041:4E3E:D02B (talk) 14:18, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
