[edit] Photo

The way the photograph copyright laws work, the original wording "His picture was also used, without his consent, on the front cover of the book "The Beautiful Boy" by Germaine Greer. Despite his complaints the publishers had permission to use the photograph from the photographer." appeared to be pejorative. I have reworded it to be neutral

It might be neutral, but it's also completely unclear. Did he consent to its use, or didn't he? The paragraph seems to contradict itself --Stephen Burnett 18:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

He neither consented not did not consent. Andresen's consent was neither required nor requested. Fiddle Faddle 18:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry - a blind spot on my part; somehow I read the "His" at the start of the second sentence to refer to Andresen, not Bailey. --Stephen Burnett 12:14, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

If one perosn has a blind moment so do others. So I've clarified it in the article. Fiddle Faddle 20:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

That reads much better - thank you --Stephen Burnett 20:56, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bjørn or Björn?

Is his name Bjørn Andresen or Björn Andresen? IMDB at least has the former[1]. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 22:01, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, since I have no idea, but suspect it is "Bjørn Andresen", it will do no harm to move the page to that spelling. There are sufficient redirects to make that ok. But I'll try to check first. Fiddle Faddle 22:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Google favours "Bjørn Andresen" so I will move the page to that spelling. Fiddle Faddle 22:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

He is a Swedish actor, and it should thus be Björn Andresen - there is no letter ø in Swedish. ø is in the Danish and Norwegian alphabet! The page should be changed back to Björn Andresen! --Punavuori (talk) 09:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Since the move is blocked by a technicality, I have asked it to be done by an admin. Next time, please be bold and do the same. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 10:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sal Mineo

It seems foolish to leave this language in. Mineo's killer is a black American. Tommypowell 14:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

The rationale behind leaving it in is that it is a part of the subject's history. The fact that the allegation was false does not invalidate its place in the article. Fiddle Faddle 14:37, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
