I'm new to wikipedia, however this is obviously been turned into a page about Scientology so I am proposing that the same thing that was done to Catherine Bell's article regarding the Neutrality and Dispute box is put under the Scientology section on Jenna Elfman's wikipedia page as well. Can an eperienced editor please help me out with this? I would like to see a lot of interesting information on Jenna and I think that's what the public is looking for rather than more Scientology sensationalism.Avon

Put "{{POV-section}}" in the appropriate section. Amcfreely 19:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think Amcfreely meant to take the entire section out, since it's factual and does contain proper citations, but I do agree the orignal tone had a bias. For now I'll add a line about her conversion to the Personal Life section, but hopefully a more seasoned editor can jump in. ArturoR 04:57, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just to keep both sides of the story in the public eye, I have added more to the controversy section, helps to keep things in perspective. leelandia 7:10pm, June 27 2006

The question to ask here is who the accuser [1] is: soothsayer, self-aggrandizing sensationalist, or failed 40-year-old film fabulist? 66.26.76.35 03:52, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the reference for the so-called June 2006 incident and it really doesn't look reputable to me. I am reluctant to delete this right off the bat, but it sure looks to me that this violates the "living persons" guidelines as it is anything but factual to quote one side of a fight as to what happened (like when was the last time you had a fight with your partner and you both agreed what happened??? duh)grrrila

Since there have been no objections I am taking this statement out.Grrrilla 04:01, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heritage

Does anyone have a reputable, first hand source that her grandfather/father was Croatian (i.e. not IMDB or any of the trivia sites out there). Also, if restoring the "Croatian-American", you must have a source that says she is actually Croatian-American or "Croatian". Mad Jack 21:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Baby!

Jenna's pregnancy should definitely be included here.Grrrilla 03:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pourly Sourced contentious material -- Poorly Argued -- it should stay!

Two paragraphs in the "Personal" section were earlier removed based on the living persons bio policy: "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just highly questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space," but were added back in over the past month of so, without discussion. I'm deleting them again. The so-called sources are not reputable. One (re HIV) is just a gossip blog that itself doesn't name any source. Just because somebody said that somebody said that somebody said something is no reason to assume it is true. The second (re. so-called incident outside Celebrity Centre), is also bogus. See earlier discussion as to why I removed it. If anyone plans to revert these edits, please have the courtesy to discuss it first, since I DID discuss it, and then made the changes in good faith.193.37.152.232 15:36, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listen, I think the material should stay. I think you shouldn't judge how reputable a source is just because you have harbored some ill sentiments toward so-called gossip sites, which receive millions of readers each day. The material should stay more importantly because it is interesting. Why make Eflman's page more boring than it already is. Get off your high horse, this contentious material is what people want to read. You can't just write off these incidents because you think they're bogus. They're interesting, and I don't think you have a comback to that. Biznatchnumerouno 21:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
