[edit] Conversion to Judaism?

"Upon marriage to British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen (Ali G), she has converted to Judaism" - source?

Latest reports are that she has yet to convert to Judaism. Reuters says: "The groom's Jewish heritage is also a factor [in their delayed marriage], with Fisher yet to convert." She should porbably be removed from the category "coverts to Judaism" until it can be verified. The Ali G page still said he was married to her until I fixed it a little while ago. There's obviously a lot of cofusion about all this.--DreamsReign 04:33, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I just attempted to fix the obvious vandalism to her page--"She has, unfortunately, pledged to convert to Judaism in order to marry Cohen, who is Jewish.[1]"--but when I attempted to make the edit, the offending word ("unfortunately") wasn't there. It's a mystery...Andrewjnyc 18:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Recently the words "and who insisted that she convert to Judaism." were removed. Was there any reason to remove this? --Mushed 21:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, there was. Because in the Jewish or Christian religion nobody insists or forces anybody to convert. Such things are more peculiar to Islam.

Yes, I suppose we should ignore 700 years of history of crusades and inquistions. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.88.13.147 (talk) 00:44, 4 February 2007 (UTC).

I don't believe that to be a good reason for deleting that statement, that seems quite biased to me. I believe the statement should be added to the article again. Mushed 13:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... evidence that they have married already seems like speculation or hearsay to me. Sacha Baron Cohen's article doesn't say that they're married yet. Remember this is adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons: "Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous." Thus there is good reason to delete that statement as it appears to be an unsubstantiated claim. - Olockers

Yes, the claim seems unsubstantiated, and that would be, I believe, a good reason to delete it. But the reason given seemed to me, quite biased and based on a personal opinion, which I think would be the wrong reason to delete it. Eitherway, the article seems fine as it is now.

[edit] Birthplace?

According to her Wedding Crashers bio, she's born in Saudi Arabia. http://www.weddingcrashersmovie.com/isla-fisher.htm

• In the preface to one of her novels it says, "Isla Fisher was born in 1976, in the old walled city of Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman." Interestingly, it also states she was the last non-Arab born there.

[edit] Pronunciation of first name

The pronunciation of her first name should be given. Badagnani 08:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Talladega Nights

Nothing about her appearance in Talladega Nights??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.209.95.18 (talk • contribs)

What appearance in Talladega Nights?[1] Beve 15:59, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't think that was her. That was another girl who looks kinda like her. The (twin) was also in the Office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.206.215.186 (talk) 21:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture

Alrighty, now that she's given birth already, let's get her a new picture. A current one would be good, unless you guys really like the pregnant one. I always thought keeping it current was a good idea. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 02:05, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
