[edit] Photos

For heaven's sake! Not another one!

I'm going to make the same complaint I made about the Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson articles regarding the photos: this article is too short to have two photos and not look ridiculous, especially since (as is currently the case on the D. Radcliffe, R. Grint and E. Watson pages) one of the photos is right on top of the other. Someone needs to either move one of the photos down or delete it all together. It's like someone went through these articles and spammed them with photos; consequently, I am going around to these articles' talk pages and spamming them with complaints. --Hazey Jane 06:22, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] the page

To me the page looks fine, it's the picures that bother me. They should be changed. Something more recent would be nice. Espically for Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert GRint.

[edit] Time for a semi-protect?

This article has seen a lot of anon and newbie edits regarding his love life, but the edits are all unencyclopedic, pointless, and above all, uncited. Perhaps it's time for a semi-protect? The next time we see a bunch of edits, I'm putting up the semi-protect unless there are objections here. --Deathphoenix ʕ 05:15, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

You have my backing, I got fed up of reverting those edits myself yesterday. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 06:21, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

It might be unnecessary, I might have finally gotten through to Firewhiskeyangel, but we'll see. --Deathphoenix ʕ 15:42, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm not holding my breath. Death Eater Dan (Muahaha) 16:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC) *Slaps oneself for that lapse into cynicism*

I told you it wasn't just me! (firewhiskeyangel) I stopped.

I put up a semi-protect following another attempt. I'm only leaving this in for two or three days, then removing it after this time. If it continues, I'll put up the semi-protect again. --Deathphoenix ʕ 01:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the semi-protect, but will ruthlessly reinstate it if I see the same attempts again. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:58, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

That was really a tactless ad hominem attack on FireWhiskeyAngel, DeathPhoenix. Dragix 20:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Photo!

I agree with an earlier comment made- a new photo is desperately needed! The current one is at least four to five years old, from around the time of filming either the Sorcerer's Stone or Chamber of Secrets. Tom Felton is eighteen now. It's certainly time for a change. Will someone please un-protect the page for a bit so a more recent (and flattering) photograph of Tom can be submitted?

Where's the more recent photo? It would be absolutely smashing if you had one that is public domain, GFDL, or some other free one rather than fair use, although, of course, such things are rather unlikely. A free one would be a picture that a fan snapped while meeting him or something. --Deathphoenix ʕ 11:45, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Managed to grab a new-ish interview screen shot from the PoA (HP3) DVD Disc 2 ("extras") - should look more up to date and non-Malfoyish than the old original Malfoy publicity photo for the time being. He looks similar here to those pics posted on his web site at TomFelton.com . These types of interview screen shots were used to illustrate the Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint articles, as captured and posted a few months ago by RadioKirk . --T-dot 20:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Someone recently switched the image back to Felton in his Malfoy character costume. This is not proper. We need images of real people "as themselves" whenever possible - not "in character". Thanks. --T-dot 12:38, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Myspace

This guy have a myspace profile? ive found it the other day and i hope that somebody could confirm it the link is Here thanks!--ometzit 09:37, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

No it is not him on Myspace, whoever wrote that is American not British! Its pretty obvious from the Happy Holidays title of a blog, we do not ever say that over here! Plus we do not call footballs soccerballs!

[edit] Playstation Bordello?

This article claims that Tom Felton is filming a movie (or some sort of TV) called "Playstation Bordello." However, I never found any other Tom Felton sites confirm it, nor have I found a movie called "Playstation Bordello." If this is true, at least give us the link to the website that confirms this. Otherwise, please delete it.

Thanks,

Yu Han

Done - WP:V violation. No such finding in a google search. If someone can find an authoritative source, they can put it back. Thanks for the heads up. Another way to point out such problems is add a { {citation needed} } next to the questionable text --T-dot 11:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Factual error?

Blocked editor User:PEAR has brought the following excerpt to our attention: "For those overseas, we can't drive here until we are 17, so I'm not getting a car until September. So all those websites comments about me driving a Mercedes are completely wrong!" [1] PEAR says the references to his favourite type of car/what he drives needs to be changed. Can anybody familiar with this subject check this out? Cheers, Tangotango 13:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

His favourite cars are BMWs, the interview mentioned above is a few years old as he will be 19 in a couple of weeks.

[edit] Photo please?

This article needs a photo of the boy JayKeaton 14:07, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fangirl?

It's not paticularly harmful to the article, but do we really need to know Tom's favourite foods and fashion labels? This article is edited to read like a fansite. 80.43.9.157

[edit] More of an encomium, actually

Should it be added to the "Awards" section that he is the subject of the song "Tom Felton's Kinda Hot" by Draco and the Malfoys? Asat 04:51, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Definitely not in the awards section. It should probably only be mentioned if "Draco and the Malfoys" pass Wikipedia:Notability (music), which seems unlikely. Hammer Raccoon 10:59, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
