The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Should Jennifer Lawrence's role as Raven / Mystique in the post-credits scene for this film be mentioned as a cameo in Filmography?

Hunger Games

Did I just fix vandalism? The intro, as I found it, had not one word about The Hunger Games movies. Given their huge success, and her staring as the lead character, the heroine, this omission is incomprehensible. I think someone vandalized the page by removing Hunger Games from the intro. Since this is what she is famous for, it should be the first thing, which is where I put it. Nick Beeson (talk) 00:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

It's right there, in the second paragraph of the lede. I have removed your contribution as redundant. Also, it did not quite follow WP:NPOV as it had some WP:PEACOCK terms. Elizium23 (talk) 00:54, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

I would like to edit the Jennifer Lawrence filmography. 75.117.97.61 (talk) 03:31, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

 Not done please mention a specific part of the filmography you feel should be changed, or create an account to make the changes yourself. Snuggums (talk / edits) 03:48, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Scandal

I removed the reference to hacked photos. It smacks of undue weight in this biography. It has nothing to do with creating the subject's notability. Biographies are to be written conservatively with respect for the subject's privacy. Jehochman 12:57, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I'd say it's a notable event, although yes it possibly had undue weight. -mattbuck (Talk) 13:17, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I will let a discussion proceed to determine what should be included if anything. Looking through the archives, this hasn't been discussed recently. Please keep it out until we get a fresh consensus. Jehochman 13:22, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I believe mentioning about it is necessary due to the significant coverage of the event; however, it doesn't have to be an extremely detailed overview. We have 2014 celebrity photo hack for that. Noting that she was affected by the hack would be sufficient. -- Chamith (talk) 13:46, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps it would be best to have a short sentence stating that she was a victim of this incident and link it. Anybody who wants details can read that article and get the full story in context. Jehochman 13:58, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Sounds right to me. -mattbuck (Talk) 14:11, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Jehochman, I disagree with your removal of this material. Given the widespread media attention it received and that Lawrence directly commented on it, it should be included. And what was there was the right amount of material; I disagree with cutting any of it. It was not a WP:BLP violation at all, and threatening to block editors if they revert you on it is poor conduct. I will alert the WP:BLP, WP:Biography and WP:Film pages to this discussion. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 19:59, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

It definitely needs to be covered, by a single sentence probably. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I alerted the aforementioned pages here, here and here. What I like about the addition that Jehochman removed is that it notes what happened, is clear that the images were never meant to be public (despite some people who think that these leaks are done intentionally by celebrities), and that it cited Lawrence's feelings on the matter, an excerpt from her Vanity Fair interview. It is a small paragraph on the topic, and is very much WP:Due. This is why I disagree with a one-sentence addition. Not to mention that, per what MOS:Paragraphs states, I dislike one-sentence paragraphs. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:15, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I was simply suggesting it could be covered briefly, not that it should be in a single-sentence paragraph. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:17, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I see, but my point is that it was already covered briefly. The aforementioned paragraph is small. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:21, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand what you just said, but I think it's all about the fact it was already covered. We don't need to expand on all of these tabloid exposures. Would Britannica? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:23, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I thought I was pretty clear that the aforementioned paragraph is fine and is encyclopedic (in fact, I was very clear with my "20:15, 28 December 2015 (UTC)" post above); if I somehow wasn't, that is exactly what I meant. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Note: There had been a typo in my comment before I fixed it. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 00:40, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

The fact that she was a crime victim could be noted, with a link to the article about the crime. It is fully explained there. No reason to provide same full explanation here. It would give this tiny little piece of her life excessive attention. I doubt she would like this, and the whole idea of BLP is that we are sensitive to the subjects of Misplaced Pages articles. "Lawrence was among hundreds of victims in the 2014 celebrity photo hack." That's all we need say about it. This sentence can be added to any of the relevant paragraphs. There's a whole lot more to her life than this. It shouldn't get more attention than it is proportionally due. Jehochman 21:41, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

I disagree with you, per my "20:15, 28 December 2015 (UTC)" comment above and per WP:Summary style. The way you are supposedly enforcing WP:BLP here makes no sense to me; and I state that as someone who commonly enforces WP:BLP. Lawrence specifically commented on this photo leak mess because she wanted people to know how she feels about it; stating that she wouldn't like us including her commentary on it is at odds with the fact that the commentary exists, and is pure speculation. In my opinion, you should be reverted. And if you block someone for reverting you, that person should be immediately unblocked. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:40, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Agree with Flyer22; it needs to be covered. Although it is contentious, it is anything but poorly-sourced, and therefore does not qualify for the kind of WP:BLP enforcement you are suggesting. It just makes no sense. Elizium23 (talk) 00:27, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I also agree with Flyer22. It might be possible to tighten it up a tad, but in truth I don't have a problem with what was there before. I don't believe there is a WP:WEIGHT issue because it was widely reported at the time. Yes, we have an article to cover the hack itself but this paragraph covers Lawrence's own reaction to it, her perspective. Looking at that section it is probably the least trivial thing in it. Betty Logan (talk) 19:06, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree that it needs to be covered, but let's keep it brief. We aren't a tabloid. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 06:58, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree with both Flyer and Jehochman. It can be on the BLP (I don't necessarily think it needs to be), but a concise statement on what it was, what happened, and her most relevant response to it (I think the quote should be trimmed). Further info is contained in the linked celebrity hack article. A tentative suggestion based on the prior version of the article: "In August 2014, Lawrence was a subject* of the 2014 celebrity photo hack. Nude photographs of Lawrence were leaked online, obtained from her iCloud account by a hacker. Emphasizing that the images were never meant to be public, Lawrence called the leak a "sex crime" and a "sexual violation", telling Vanity Fair, "Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offense."". *Not sure if editors would want to use "victim"; an alternative could be "target". So, something concise like that. Lapadite (talk) 07:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I'd be fine with that; it's just the right amount of detail, although I like including the part I added about any member of her family or friends who might have also looked at the pictures; she was pulling no punches. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 20:07, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I do not agree with this proposal. Too much content for a very minor piece of the subject's life. I agree to maximum one sentence with a link to the relevant article. Anybody who wants more detail can click. Her commentary is already in the target article. I am pretty sure she wishes that this never happened. We should not indulge those who continue to host these images online in order to make money from advertising placed on the pages. She was a victim of a hacking attack. That's enough. We don't need to delve into the salacious details here. Our goal should be to maximize the dignity of the subject. This incident is tabloid rubbish and does not required detailed analysis and commentary. Jehochman 21:02, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

It seems to me that the gist of WP:DUE is not about importance, but coverage. That is, it is not for editors to decide how much space to give a certain story based on our impression of the impact or relevance to the topic, but rather that we should accurately represent the level of coverage by WP:RS. More coverage equals more weight. This episode in Lawrence's life is extremely well-known and widely covered. There are tons of WP:RS writing about it that we can point to in order to justify weight of coverage in this article. I think that attempting to minimize it to a microscopic level is unfair to readers and unfair to Lawrence, when the vast majority of this article is glowing praise and positive press, whereas she is a public figure who has led a public life with its concomitant share of negative and unflattering episodes. WP:BLP isn't about protecting our idols from unflattering stories, not when those stories are well-sourced and well-documented in the public record. Elizium23 (talk) 21:08, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Jehochman, how is that proposal too much detail? It briefly describes exactly what happened, and briefly relays Lawrence's relevant feelings on the matter; like Betty Logan stated above, "Yes, we have an article to cover the hack itself but this paragraph covers Lawrence's own reaction to it, her perspective. Looking at that section it is probably the least trivial thing in it." I've been clear that your rationale on this matter makes no sense to me. And WP:Consensus is now for inclusion. If we have to take the matter to a WP:RfC to decide on just what wording should be included because you want us to barely state anything about Lawrence being a victim of the photo leaks in the place where it's most relevant -- the Jennifer Lawrence Misplaced Pages article -- then I suppose that's what we will have to do. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I'd prefer that we don't mention it at all. She's not notable as a crime victim. She's notable as an actress. This is a tabloid sideshow that should get probably less than 1% of the words in this article. Jehochman 21:18, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Neglecting to cover a hugely significant incident in a notable person's life, an incident that the notable person commented on in a very significant way, is not how good Misplaced Pages articles are written. We shouldn't leave readers to find out about this matter by stumbling upon the 2014 celebrity photo hack article. Elizium23 is on-target with the "21:08, 30 December 2015 (UTC)" post above. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 21:26, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

(ed) I feel like we're getting more personal than on the road of reaching consensus. I would like to say I completely agree with Flyer22 Reborn. Jennifer was unfortunately apart of a big scandal that hit 2015 and it unfortunately got a lot of people's attention. Whether it's a tabloid media circus or not, she was apart of it and even commented on it. That is highly notable. Secondly, Joechman (sp?), you make it seem as if your opinion is more valuable. I'm sorry, but that is what I sense. And I also agree that enforcing blocks if we revert you is poor conduct. Reverting you on that edit doesn't define it as vandalism. I support the mention of the hack. The way it was was perfectly fine. All we had was, if I remember, 3 three sentences. Callmemirela 🍁 {Talk} ♑ 21:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Folks, BLP cannot be overridden by the local consensus of half a dozen editors. My concern is that we are taking the biography of an accomplished actress, and using it to advertise the fact that her sensitive data was hacked and released for all to see. We should not add to her problem. This drew a lot of tabloid attention in 2014. Is it something people will remember 10, or 20, years from now? Notability is permanent. We should write the article with a long view, not with excessive emphasis on recent and salacious events. As for blocks, I'm not going to block anybody who reviews or joins a substantial discussion and then makes a thoughtful edit based on that discussion. That warning was for drive by reverts where no consideration to the discussion was given. Jehochman 22:31, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

The way you are enforcing WP:BLP in this case is incorrect; we've already been over this above. This is not a WP:LOCALCONSENSUS violation matter. Furthermore, the 2014 celebrity photo hack is not simply tabloid fodder, which is exactly why we have a Misplaced Pages article on it. It also received respectable media attention, and, considering what it's about, that respectable media attention was valid; that media attention entails Lawrence feeling so strongly about the photo leak that it led her to seek legal action and to call the photo leak "a sex crime" and "a sexual violation", and to add, "Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offense. You should cower with shame." It was important enough to her, and it is important enough for this article. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:53, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Flyer here. We shouldn't go into salacious details, but nor should we ignore the incident, the coverage of which seemed to feature Lawrence disproportionately. The two sentences above seem reasonable to me. We state it happened, we give Lawrence's view on it, we move on to other items. -mattbuck (Talk) 23:14, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

I would like to ask Jehochman which section of WP:BLP he intends to use to block violators. I cannot find a section which allows us to suppress well-sourced negative information about celebrities. Elizium23 (talk) 01:11, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

I have reinstated some of the prose as this is not BLP violating material. It was well sourced (more can be provided after even a tiny googling if necessary) and does not constitute 'negative' infomation about the subject. Where someone is a victim of a crime, rarely is saying they are a victim a negative judgement on them. The small paragraph constituted very little of the article so undue weight arguments are frankly ludicrous. Given that she has given interviews on this and spoken publically about it (the People interview was over a year later and it was still the first topic discussed), its not surprising there are plenty of sources available. Jehochman if you continue to issue threats I will take you to straight to Arbcom for misuse of tools while involved in a content dispute. Gain consensus to remove it and desist from threatening other editors. Only in death does duty end (talk) 01:41, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
