Emily proctor was in a toothpaste commercial, wasn't she? PrometheusX303 00:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Yeah, "Colgate MaxFresh, with mini breath strips". And yes, I actually *do* use it, but not because of her. : ) --LuciferBlack 21:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Removed the phrase "I'm better than you" from the description of her role in CSI:Miami. 64.81.139.191

I believe Emily is also fronts an 80's cover band called "White Lighten". I was able to confirm the bit about being in the band on her personal site, and the bit about the name I was able to confirm on her IMDB bio

Anyone else think those links to the so-called TeeVee awards should be removed? They're not actually awards at all, and just seem to be the ramblings of some people who run a website who happen to not like her acting.

[edit] Image

I'm pretty sure this image cannot be used here. It's a screenshot from a show which is considered fair use for a West Wing article, or even the character played by Procter. But not in the article about Procter herself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.231.58.143 (talk) 08:51, August 29, 2007 (UTC)

Why? The image is of Emily Procter. Why is fair use not OK in this article? Has WP image policy changed recently, or was it always this way? Kasreyn 17:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
I just had a look through Wikipedia:Non-free content, which unless I'm mistaken is the current guiding policy on when it's OK to use "fair use" non-free content. It lists 10 criteria for acceptance, and I can't see how this image fails any of them. Kasreyn 17:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Images of living persons must be of free use unless they cannot be obtained (if they are deceased). Fair use images are not allowed for living persons when they can be replaced with a free use one. This is why it was removed. Ejfetters 03:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
    Do you know what the reasoning is behind the tougher standard? Kasreyn 04:49, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Policy is if the image can be replaced with a free-use image then it should be done so. Actor is living, and a free use image is obtainable. Very notable celebrities with countless publicity photographs, if you look, don't have these, they have free use images, maybe found at awards shows, concerts, etc. See images for deletion and you can see numerous images have been deleted for this reason also.

    I replaced the current "no picture" image with the publicity picture of Emily as Ainsley Hayes used from Ainsley's page. I'm pretty sure it doesn't violate policy, and it's definitely fair use. Capreolus 21:07, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Publicity phots aren't allowed, look at every other celebrity page, they are free use images. This must be free use if free use is obtainable. This image also is in violation. Ejfetters 04:17, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
