I think the article should have a picture of her.

[edit] italian

if she was born in italy shouldn't we say she is "an italian born American actress" lots of other actresses on there are added like that o we know how long she lived thee before she movedVeggiegirl (talk) 13:32, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mormon

This article belongs to two categories, Latter Day Saints and Mormon actors, that I think is unjustified. Though she says she was raised LDS (a.k.a. "Mormon") for the first 12 years of her life, she doesn't say she practices it anymore. Therefore, I think these two categories should be removed. I'll take care of this in a sec, if anyone disagrees, please discuss here. — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:56, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I have re-removed the Mormon Actors category. As you noted, she is from a Mormon history. Her roles and history seem to indicate that she would likely no longer self-identify as Mormon (though, of course, doesn't guarantee it, which is why she's not in the Ex-Mormons category either). Until someone can provide citation, that should remain off the article. A Mormon family is not enough. -Porlob 18:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplace

She says she was born in Vicenza, 142 km far from Aviano, where of course she lived, so she wasn't born in Friuli, but in Veneto...

[edit] Birthdate

IMDB.com shows she was born in 1974. What is the correct year? RyguyMN 04:15, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Madagascar 2

Hello, everyone, I removed the credit for Madagascar 2 - haven't found any references for that one. If you have a source that confirms Adams' involvement in the movie, please re-add it. Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 13:22, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amy "Lou" Adams

I removed her middle name. If someone has a non-gossip source for it, please re-add it along with the reference. I believe someone mixed her up with this Amy Adams: http://www.ebookmall.com/ebooks-authors/amy-lou-adams-ebooks.htm Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 00:28, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I removed "Lou" again. Readers can submit information to IMDb.com. It is impossible to determine if "Lou" was added by a regular user or a member of Adams' representation. Therefore, I'm going to remove it until we have a source from either a respectable magazine or an interview. PS. Also in regards of above reference. (See the e-book author.) Best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Wow, so many of them. Thanks a ton. I will talk to some more experienced editors for their opinions on reliability of those sources, especially given the circumstance that there is another "Amy Lou Adams". Thanks again, anon, and best regards, --Plumcouch Talk2Me 17:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
None of the sources listed above are reliable sources (i.e. a reputable newspaper, magazine or website) which can be used to support that it is her middle name. Many of the above sources can be freely edited by the public and some of them have contrasting information like the birthdate. -- Ladida (talk) 03:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Blacklist revert?

I tried to revert the vandalism, and got

"This is a talk page. Please respect the talk page guidelines, and remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes (DaRkAgE7 (talk) 22:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)).

I don't know why I can't revert it, but this "blacklist" or whatever has never caused me problems before, and since I don't know what it is, I can't fix the page. The Blacklist seems to be counterproductive. ~~ DaRkAgE7 (talk) 22:58, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

The blacklist is intended to stop link-spamming activity to problematic sites. If you read the warning fully, it should have mentioned the blacklisted domain. You can de-wikify the URL or simply remove it, after which the edit should go through. Dancter (talk) 23:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ethnicity

Amy has red hair and a name that is definitely not Hispanic. Consequently, shouldn't she be categorised as an Irish-American? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.17.211.191 (talk) 16:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

she wasn't born with red hair if she was we have no prove yet early movies of hers show she has blond or brown haired so find info that proves youe segestions before you edit thingsVeggiegirl (talk) 13:28, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi there:
1. Learn how to spell and construct a sentence; and
2. Look up "sarcasm". Quickly.

[edit] Marriage Date

The date I am reading this is May 17, 2008. It states that she "...was married on July 4, 2008". Crystal ball perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.100.89 (talk) 02:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please remove the Power Rangers reference at the last table!

Someone is editing this page and putting she is Master Guin on Power Rangers -.- I've been looking for this, and it's just vandalism. I've removed that from the upper part, but I don't know how to remove that from the table at the botton. Could someone do it, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.41.98.158 (talk) 20:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

What about the line on her marrying Spongebob Squarepants "star" Doug Lawrence on July 4,2008? That clearly looks like vandalism to me. As for the alleged connection to the Power Rangers franchise, she actually turned down the role as the Pink Ranger. ----DanTD (talk) 19:10, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
