[edit]

Sorry 'bout gutting the images from the article. However, all these images were fair use images from magazines, books, and movies. Under the terms of fair use - described in WP:FUC - these images can be only used to illustrate articles or sections specifically about the book, magazine, or movie in question. However, this is an article about a person, so it just doesn't qualify. Rklawton 03:54, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think means should be found to ensure that one image remains and I have restored one. IXIA 15:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Photo request

[edit]

Regarding the request for a photo, there was one - in fact two or three - but Mr Lawton deleted them (some mere fragments of rather grainy pictures taken some 40 years ago)! IXIA 22:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Illogical opening

[edit]

The opening says she posthumously became a style icon of the 60s. But she died in 1971. How is this possible? How can you posthumously become a style icon of a decade that's already finished? Anchoress (talk) 02:47, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could have been phrased better. Have amended. IXIA (talk) 08:31, 29 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Photo

[edit]

It is indeed a shame that a woman referred to as a muse because of her looks, doesn't have a photo on her article page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.84.240.18 (talk) 09:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was an excellent photograph apparently inserted by the person who took it in the 1960s, but it was removed for some reason. It is now on a website of Talitha photos that employs a slightly earlier version of the text of this article: Talitha Getty. It looked at the time that its was intended as a fair swop. It's a pity how many photos get removed when they are freely available elsewhere! IXIA (talk) 05:26, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heroin

[edit]

Does anyone have links to articles that would mention when she got into heroin, because the way the article is written, it comes as a surprise that she overdosed when no mention of an addiction is made earlier. 79.84.235.144 (talk) 10:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are allusions to it in Marianne Faithfull's autobiography, but it would certainly be useful to find definitive references. IXIA (talk) 05:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

The request for more detialed references seems a bit over the top. The article is much better referenced than many of its kind. LymeRegis (talk) 19:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the absence of any come-back, I think the tag should be deleted. A "good article" of which I was main author was praised for its use of references, but did not contain the sort of detail apparently demanded here. Throughout its history - and there is little enough information about TG out there - this article has been hampered by over-"bureaucratic" policing: for example, an excellent photo of TG, inserted by the person who took it in the 1960s, was deleted as apparently being an improper use. The Wikipedia text is now used by that person on a web page that displays his excellent photos! IXIA (talk) 15:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have now gone back to the sources and added page numbers. It appears that some editors are more demanding than others about this sort of thing! IXIA (talk) 18:17, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why the further verification tag has been inserted again. This article is far better referenced than most. IXIA (talk) 18:09, 11 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

First, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - in short citing other articles lack of referencing as proof that this article doesn't need additional references is not an excuse to leave content unreferenced. Second, I was the ever-so demanding editors that readded the tag back in October because there's still various statements that need referencing. Fixing what's wrong with the article and then removing the tag yourself is much more fruitful than bemoaning about the tag on the talk page. A tag on an article isn't the end of the world and doesn't mean the article is "bad". Further, no one is demanding anything - we're attempting to follow Wikipedia policy.

Yes, but I still don't see that this is inadequately referenced. But never mind. IXIA (talk) 18:58, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
