[edit] External links

Although I understand that there will be many fansites made dedicated to Skandar Keynes, please do not add any fansites other than the one that is already there; skandar.net. Leave this one alone.

There are 2 websites that keep being added;skandarsonofadam and skandar rox. Both hosted at freewebs. If you see them, please revert to the last version of which the only fansite there is skandar.net.

And if you are the one who keeps adding them, please stop. And I have also noted that IP number 69.231.226.180, attempted to sabatage the link by changing the link of skandar.net. Do not do this.

The reason that skandar.net should stay, is because it is of very high quality. One fansite is enough. Do not add anymore. If you do you will be blocked.

Thankyou. --Rachel Cakes 00:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Thats extremley rude to Skandar Keynes Fan after all that is HQ and it was a fansite before all fansites considering it was the first fansite on Skandar Keynes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Loserkidemx3 (talk • contribs).

[edit] About External Links

I have seen many people adding other websites as well, like skandarkeynesfan. I have only seen skandar_rox put up once, and many other fansites have been trying to put up theirs as well. How come just put up skandar.net when there is so many other fansites that are very good?

VÄRLDENS SNYGGASTE KILLE XD!!!!!!

Agreed. This seems to reek of an attempt to turn the Wikipedia article into an advertisement for skandar.net over skandarkeynesfan.com (at the very least it'll help their google ranking), just look at the consistent reverts in the edit history. No doubt, skandar.net is a good website, but I've seen nothing that would entitle it to special treatment above all others. For example, it is not the "official" Skandar Keynes website as far as I can tell.

The suggestion from Rachel Cakes above that people will be blocked for adding links is ridiculous and IMO should be viewed as issuing unnecessary threats. As far as I am concerned, all reasonable quality fansites can be linked. --New Progressive 05:09, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Qaulity fansites is too difficult a judgement call in my opinion. WP:NOT a link directory. If there is no consensus about which one or two should stay then all fansites should probably be deleted in my opinion. Eluchil404 11:48, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Quoting WP:EL Fan sites: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite is appropriate, marking the link as such. In extreme cases, a link to a web directory of fansites can replace this link.

So people can now upload their fansite (if it has information) on here? -cutienemo04

No. Eluchil404 19:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The Newsprogressive said that all reasonable quality fansites can be linked. -cutienemo04

He/She is wrong as a matter of policy. Listing multiple fanistes is to be avoided per the Manual of Style Guidline WP:EL which I quoted above. Attempts to add several links will probably be reverted. On the other hand, if you want to add information from a site and include a link to it as a reference that is fine, but it may still be reverted if others judge to information to be irrelevant to the purpose of the article (such as Skandar's favorite whatever).

[edit] Atheist

Sorry, but I just needed to say that I find it incredibly odd that Skandar Keynes is a actor in a Narnia movie, and he is an atheist!!! I just cannot understand how he understood the role and did so well in it if he doe not fully understand who it represents. I would like to see somebody's opinion on this. Thank you.

lol, he's an actor! He wasn't even playing a Christian character. Just because the film had Christian themes has nothing to do with the actors who play them. Except for Anna Popplewell, who I know is Christian, I doubt any of the other actors were religious. JackO'Lantern 06:46, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Is it important enough to cite in the article though? Obviously some people are interested in all his personal details but I don't think his religious views are relevant to the article. He's an actor not a theologian. Eluchil404 18:04, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually it wasn't in the article originally, but that post reminded me to put it in. Since the article is pretty short as is, it doesn't exactly take up space :) JackO'Lantern 18:07, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm not going to get into a revert war over this. I did change the wording slightly since Darwin wasn't actually an atheist. Eluchil404 02:09, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Who really understands religion, faith and fate at such a young age anyway?

[edit] New Pic

The new pic is a screen capture from the CTV interveiw of the four children availible on this page near the bottom. Eluchil404 09:23, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wikipedia is not a collection of photographs or media files one pic is plenty. Let's discuss which one to use here and then stick to it. I'll move the extra ones to the talk page so they are visible while we discuss. Eluchil404 07:15, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Keynes in Beirut

Interesting story,[1] if anyone wants to add bits from it Mad Jack 05:25, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA failed

As of 25 October 2006, per WP:WIAGA, this article fails for GA status. My main concern is that it is not broad enough – (criterion 3) – for a biography of living person. As the subject is an actor, the article is really lack of the subject's biography as an actor. All information - in the only - lead section are trivia, not related to the nobility of the subject. When this matter is resolved, you can renominate this article back. If you disagree with my review, then you can submit this article to WP:GA/R. Cheers. — Indon (reply) — 13:44, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
