[edit] Her Origins...

Its very shocking the ignorance of the media... Jennifer ("J.Lo"/"Lola") Lopez was born from 2 Puerto Ricans. Yes, she was born on NY but her whole family, her blood and her culture is from Puerto Rico. Her husband was born in the same circumstance Marc Anthony is from Puerto Rican parents.

Shockingly and sadly the media refer to J.Lo as an American actress/singer, on the other hand they refer of Marc Anthony as a Puerto Rican actor/singer...

If you take a look at the International law your nationality and origins are from where your FATHER is (the father is the genetic responsible for everything you’re)…... in both of this cases they are PUERTO RICANS.

Is completely crazy to say that because she was born here by error we say that she is American she is not, I can understand if they refer to here as a PuertoRican-American.

She is equally Puerto Rican as Marc Anthony, Raul Julia, Ricky Martin, Benicio Del Toro, etc.

I think this issue is very disrespectful towards Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico is a country. Because of that it has a nationality, Puerto Rican. Puerto Rican is a nationality, not a race. You can be a white Puerto Rican or you can be a black Puerto Rican.24.185.49.151 13:39, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

You need to get educated becuase if J-Lo was born in America that makes her American. America is a nationality not a race. I am hispanic but im not mexican because i wasnt born in mexico.

Puerto Rico is also a US territory, so even if she was born in San Juan, she would still be an American citizen. --70.171.49.193 17:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

Someone did change it to a nice clear promo pic, but SOMEONE keeps replacing it with that crap picture, PLEASE change it!

i thing that this foto is nice: http://www.jlo.net/images/vivaromance07/vivaromance0701.jpg :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.203.248.139 (talk • contribs). 19:46, 10 March 2007

Unfortunately, we can't just grab any image from the web and use it however we want. Some images are copyrighted, and it's not nice to steal someone else's images. That's why the "crap picture" keeps returning - it is available for use under a free license. The www.jlo.net site, however, says "©2003-2007 JLo.net - All images and content within this site may not be used without prior permission from the author." Therefore, the above image is presumably a copyrighted image. (And it was uploaded to wikipedia without licensing information, so it will likely be deleted soon.) Copyrighted images *may* be used in some circumstances, such as "promo pics". "Promo pics" are promotion photos explicitly released by the celebrity for publicity, typically as part of a press kit. An image used even on an official celebrity website is not a promo pic unless it is specifically released as such. Gimmetrow 20:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Women's Wear Daily article

I recently replaced a citation to a forum (which had no real content except a link to podcaster), with the podcaster link. Shortly after, this was changed to a different forum link, with the explanation: Reverted reference because this is the only site with the Women's Wear Daily article, a first-hand source, rather than the podcaster site which reveals only some of the information in that article. This is still a citation to a forum, and forums are simply not reliable sources, and may only be used in articles about themselves, that is, about the forum itself. If a magazine article is being cited, then cite that, and let readers find the full text through google or a link on this talk page. Gimmetrow 20:36, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
