| Hello | |||
| I deleted the contentious Abi Titmuss material (twice) because 1) it is nonsense 2) it is libellous. No magazine that is freely available in shops would ever show pics of a blow-up doll covered in faeces. This is obviously someone's idea of a joke. I deleted it because it is surely a vandalisation of the page. The link was to an interview with porn star Ben Dover not as was stated an interview with Abi Titmuss. Hope this clears up this matter. | |||

| == Re: Vera Renczi == | |||
| I'm not sure you are aware of how Misplaced Pages works. I am not trying to be condescending. I am simply stating that the burden of proof lies with reliable sources. Every source I have used for this article is a reliable source. I have looked (since you questioned her existence) and I have not found any compelling evidence by any historian who has ever suggested or claimed she did not exist. If there were any doubts, I am sure I would have found them and I would have placed them into the article and cited the sources. Please read All articles should be based on reliable sources. You simply can't insert your own POV into an article based on . There is no reliable sourced evidence that I can find that Renczi didn't exist. Yes, I did create the article. No, I can't give you a year, because I couldn't find a reliable source for one. The best reliable source I could find was her birth year; any other date would merely be a guess, so I could not include it. If that somehow makes you dubious about her existence, I can't do anything about that, as I have no source telling me she never existed. The burden of proof doesn't lie with me, it lies with sourcing. As per the picture of Renczi, it was included in the article I linked to you . That is a photograph of Renczi and her wine cellar, provided by a Romanian article about her. The photograph you linked me to is a photograph of ]. While it may be strange to you that particular years aren't known, I can't be called upon to prove her existence, when all reliable sources tell me she did exist. What you believe about author Colin Wilson is Original Research and can't be used on Misplaced Pages. I can believe (or make a case for) a many number of things - however, my opinion doesn't count for anything on Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 06:39, 6 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
| == "girlfriend" vs. "partner" == | |||
| "Partner" and not "girlfriend" is preferred by many in the lesbian community (and in fact often describes a legal status and not just the fact of a relationship). Nicola Griffith expressed her dismay to see "partner" changed to "girlfriend" in her entry, so I changed it back; that's when I noticed you'd changed multiple entries in this manner. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (] • ]) 19:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| :I was actually just coming to talk about this same subject. I've asked around at ] & ] if there are guidelines for this, if you want to weigh in on the discussion there. I reverted your change to ] as well, since Miz. Griffith expressed her concerns, & I noticed that you'd made similar changes to ] & ]. Can I ask about your thought process? ] (]) 19:21, 22 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
| Yes, simply it is ambiguous to say partner when you mean girlfriend, lover, inamorata or the like. My agent is a woman - her partner is also a woman. If I refer to her and mention her partner, many will assume I mean lover when in fact I mean her business partner. Jerry Lewis was Dean Martin's partner, Eric and Ernie were partners, Stan and Ollie the same - they certainly were not lovers yet there is no differentiation when you merely state he/she is so and so's partner. And also, partner is such a cold word (mainly I presume because of the business aspect) whereas girlfriend, boyfriend, lover, etc is much warmer, much more romantic and much, much nicer and says far more about a relationship than saying, "This is xx, my partner." --] (]) 21:52, 22 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :That is one interpretation, but when the people in question prefer the term "partner," which is in common usage for such relationships, I believe it's important to respect that. Terms like "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" do not necessarily convey the same meaning as "partner"; some view them as trivializing relationships. Nicola Griffith has explicitly stated that she prefers "partner" be used in her entry, so I think that's how it should remain. In her case, they are both business partners and domestic partners, so it's fitting in both contexts.] (]) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding ] comment added 22:07, 22 October 2011 (UTC).</span><!--Template:Undated--> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| ::Yeah, besides self-definitional respect-- which is hard to know about in advance-- there is a questionable element of accuracy in terminology. Your point is well taken, but the waters are muddied by the dubious legal definitions available to same sex partners, you know? "Girlfriend" & "boyfriend" are contextual terms, especially when viewed with the lens of marriage discrimination, etc-- & with things like civil partnerships & non-legal weddings. Hrm. I'm hardly an expert in this, & I think it is a good area for Misplaced Pages to build some guidelines-- or I mean, maybe there are some, somewhere. In cases where the subject makes their relationship terminology explicit it is a no-brainer, but rules of thumb would he handy. Hahaha! "Rules of thumb would be handy." ] (]) 23:09, 22 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :In such usages as "She lives with her partner," and "He had a child with his partner," there's no ambiguity: the term clearly refers to a personal relationship, generally a committed one. In the case of gay and lesbian couples who cannot legally marry, "partner" often means "spouse in all but name," and treating it as synonymous with "boyfriend/girlfriend," "lover," or "inamorata" simply isn't correct. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">— Preceding ] comment added by ] (]) 00:41, 23 October 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> | |||
| Yes there is ambiguity. What about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz? George Burns and Gracie Allen? And do sign your posts. --] (]) 00:46, 23 October 2011 (UTC) | |||
| :Ambiguity is of course situational, that same could theoretically be said for the same-sex term "girlfriend," as platonic female friendships have been referred to that way in the past. Now, you might say that you'd have to be obtuse to purposefully misinterpret that but there you have it. Terms like "lover" aren't helpful, & "boy/girlfriend" as on a sliding hierarchy of terms of intimacy, as I mentioned. Maybe "romantic partner" & "business partner" would be more helpful elements of disambiguation? Anyhow, I think this is an opportunity for a robust discussion at either ] or ]. --] (]) 16:30, 23 October 2011 (UTC) | |||

| In 1999 she said she was 22. I have a magazine cutting from that year in which she gives an interview saying that she was 22. She is lying when she says she was born in 1982. At the beginning of March 2006 - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/columnists/article-378606/Fiennes-wins-DArby.html - she was 27, so would have had her 28th birthday at the end of the month.

| :She's also the first name that comes up when I put in 1982. In any case, if you are arguing Ancestry.co.uk says she was born in 1978 why did you change the article to read 1977? No one is suggesting that there aren't conflicting dates in various sources. The answer to that is leave out the birth date. And a BLP needs to be balanced, you are skewing this to emphasise her romantic interests, making that the most important part of the article.
