[edit] Not WP:NPOV

Article does not conform to encyclopedic standards, particularly as outlined under WP:NPOV.

Violating statements: "From her first steps under the spotlight, Abby has been a complete star! She has been named one of the most talented and gifted child actors out there at the moment." "A complete star" according to whom? This notes an opinion that can only be accepted with citation by a recognized expert, such as a well-known film critic. Same is true for "one of the most talented and gifted child actors out there at the moment"—without a reliable source for that opinion, it pushes a POV. RadioKirk talk to me 15:37, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Her actual birth date

All right there seems to be a conflict regarding her birth date. The internet movie database has her as born on September 16, 1996, while another site has her born April 14, 1996. If only we could call her parents. TripleH1976 Sun 09:14 p.m., 18 June 2006 (UTC) WHAT'S IT REALLY MATTER? MERV THE PERV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU 30 OR 31 ?

In general, it's best to never trust IMDb, as anyone can add anything to the site without verification. -- Kicking222 12:18, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

While browsing Wikipedia, that statement struck me as incredibly ironic, for some reason... ;) Mysterius 04:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree,I met celebs and they say"Oh,It is the best!!!!" but look at sites we never hear of from celebs, like others I ask them and hey say" Oh, its better if we do not trust them!Oh,God!" They will have viruses also, pop-ups every second,IMDb only every visit, NOT every second.They are much worse websites tha even keep asking you your real name over and over and...(71.96.194.160 03:05, 26 February 2007 (UTC)).

It's April 14, 1996. I know for sure. Personally, I know her. I could even call her parents and ask if you want me to. I'll even just email Abbie herself (oh and btw she spells her name Abbie NOT Abby just FYI).

So, is her birthday the 14th of april or the 16th of september??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.227.124 (talk) 13:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Don't know, and until a reliable source can be found, this information needs to be removed. ~~ Peteb16 (talk) 13:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Its April 14! I am that reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbtbrulesindance (talk • contribs) 20:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "youngest actress trivia"

although it's nice to mention Abigail Breslin's nomination and the fact she's one of the youngest ever to be nominated, is it a bit too much to tell EVERY FACT about EVERY ACTOR that was younger than her? Small5th 06:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jay Leno Appearance

The comment about her appearance on Leno and the jokes going over her head is way too much! Who is to speculate as to why she has stage fright?

I know. I did remove it. Fighting for Justice 05:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Kim (nee Blecker)"

I know that her mother goes by her married name, Breslin, but what "Nee Blecker" means is that she was born under the last name Blecker, that's all. That's what the term "Nee" refers to, explicating someone's maiden name, and I don't see why not mention that. Rito Revolto 18:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Her maiden name is Walsh. That IS the name she was born under. Check facts again. There plenty of people who can confirm this for you.

[edit] POV

It's great that this young girl is enjoying a lot of success at such a young age. And I understand a lot of statements are reference, however, doesn't there appear to be too much praise for her? I think it can be toned down a little bit. Does anyone else feel like this? Fighting for Justice 04:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree...but probably only because she's my friend.
