[edit] What's happened?
Why has Jennifer's page been reduced to details about her personal life? What about her early life and career? Also, I thought her father changed the family name to Aniston before she was born?
[edit] Bionic Woman
After Friends ended there were media reports that Aniston was being considered for the title role in a (never-produced) remake of The Bionic Woman. Does anyone have a source that can be cited for this? I'd like to add it to the Bionic Woman article and it might not hurt to mention it here, too. 23skidoo 19:11, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What's wrong with mentioning her original greek birthname?
Can anyone tell me? Sthenel 04:55, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Does she even have a Greek birth name? I did a Google search for the name you added but ended up with nothing. Do you have a source on this? -- TexMurphy 12:23, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah in Greece it's well known that this is her original greek name. I have read some articles which mention it. Sthenel 12:46, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
- Please read WP:V, WP:CITE, and WP:RS which outlines the requirement that you provide a reliable source for your claim. --Yamla 15:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

- Unfortunately I can't visit her relatives in Crete to ask them about her birthname. The only references I found in the web are [1], [2], [3] but she is usually - especially in the past - referred with her birthname in magazines and TV shows due to the fact that her name "Genovefa" is very strange and rare and because of some rumors that her birthname was "Gesthimani". According to ItalianGenealogy.com, "Jennifer" is the modern english form of "Genovefa" which exists in Greece too, see Catalogue of greek names. In another source Official site of Village Cinemas of Greece it's referred that her birthname is "Ioanna" but I don't think it's right. The fact is that the name "Jennifer" comes from her original birthname which is under dispute but it may exist.

- Her relatives in Crete would not be a reliable source, nor, I think, are the references you have posted here. --Yamla 18:06, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

- I know Mr Right that a reliable source is only her father or Telly Savalas.. Go and find them! Sthenel 18:57, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] LGBT Rights Activist
I've removed Category:LGBT rights activists again. Nowhere in the article is any work for or about gay rights mentioned or sourced. -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 08:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Apologies for undoing your edit Satyr but there is an LGBT connection with the Vanguard award, featured in her list of awards, that Aniston collected in April 2007. The award links to other pages in Wiki that also show the connection. As an aside, I knew nothing of LGBT or Vanguard until I saw it on this page (a few weeks ago) and, mainly out of curiosity, read up on it to see whether someone was trying to hijack the page for their own ends. Turns out that wasn't the case at all. If you're interested this was one of the articles I read [4] David T Tokyo 09:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, David! I see that Jennifer won the GLAAD media award. But she's not known for her LGBT activism at all, and the GLAAD award is the only mention in the article. The category is for people like Urvashi Vaid who are known specifically for their activism. Thanks for your input! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
I'm wondering if any of you think the picture at the introduction is a little risqué? I suggest using a different one, within copyright guidelines. Elenseel 03:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- I'll be interested to see what responses you get on this. For my part I think it should stay - it's a really nice, natural photo and censoring things because they are a "little risque" is pretty much inviting trouble. David T Tokyo 12:17, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

- My username is Dudesleeper, and I do not endorse the first comment. - Dudesleeper · Talk 15:14, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it is a risqué picture. Personally I don't see a reason to change it. But for an accurate answer you might check the offical policy. Mark @ DailyNetworks talk 21:56, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move to LA
The article states that the family moved to LA in 1985, but Aniston graduated from the School of Performing Arts in Manhattan in 1987, and continued to live and work in Manhattan thereafter. Hgilbert 08:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
- Could you try to find any source which will make it clear? - Sthenel 08:47, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong Birthdate
The Birthdate of aniston is 11th february 1969 and not 1982 as mentioned in the article. Could somebody correct that. 220.225.126.139 (talk) 05:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2007)
There appear to be 5 references in the article now, and so this should no longer apply. --Beachsidepress (talk) 07:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
Can someone else please check whether the link to http://www.wargs.com/other/aniston.html is working? A few weeks ago I removed this link as no page was being displayed if you clicked on the link. The same URL has since been reinstated and, once again, when I click on it I find that no page is shown. I'm not sure whether it's a non-existent page or whether there's a problem with the wargs.com site. Either way, it's an important link as it involves Jennifer Aniston's heritage... —Preceding unsigned comment added by David T Tokyo (talk • contribs) 03:08, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
- Sometimes it's slow, but it works. Bardcom (talk) 10:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
- That said, it's not a reliable source and has no business being added to this article. --Yamla (talk) 19:52, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Is there a specific rule against using fan sites as External Links? Naturally I want to know because I run one of Jens most active web sites. Jen doesn't have ( or want ) an official site and we do have a disclaimer on ours. I am trying to do something different, providing actual legitimate news stories, rather than just the usual repetition of tabloid stories. I follow the Fair Use, and always link back to the original source. Fan site is Aniston Center. Wreilly (talk) 11:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, as I mentioned in email. WP:EL, WP:SPAM, WP:COI, WP:NOT. Fansites are generally inappropriate and it is always wrong to link to your own site. It's worth noting, although this is not strictly relevant, that there are a great number of copyright violations in the image gallery of that web site, images used where fair-use claims simply do not hold any water. Magazine scans, etc. --Yamla (talk) 14:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- I suppose it is worth noting WP:RS as well, though that would only apply if the external link was used as a source. --Yamla (talk) 14:37, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Photos
Could someone upload some photos of her? - Sthenel (talk) 23:00, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Friends With Money Premiere
Friends With Money premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2006 - not at the Cannes festival as stated in the article. Cajarr (talk) 14:13, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Amended accordingly. - Dudesleeper / Talk 19:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
