[edit] is that really her?

What a strange picture. Where did it come from? —Tamfang 04:27, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

  • It's definitely her, although I agree it's a strange choice. Most of the pictures for Buffyverse characters are either from an episode or publicity shots. That's clearly a publicity shot, but I don't think it was for Buffy. I find it especially peculiar as the page for Robia LaMorte is a shot of Jenny Calendar that'd be more approriate here.

Voilà, I exchanged the two. —Tamfang 19:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

I thought the picture was supposed to be changed. I'm still looking at a publicity shot (and one of the least flattering I've ever seen -- she's a beautiful lady and has taken much better head shots than this). For a long time, the shot here and the one on Robia's actor page were the same shot, the screen shot of her as Jenny that's currently on her actor page. Why not go back to having the same shot (the Jenny Calendar screen shot) on both pages again? 138.162.5.9 15:41, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Born-again Christian

The trivia entry regarding Robia LaMorte becoming a born-again Christian is not entirely accurate. It insinuates that Robia did not become a Christian until after her time on Buffy (at a minimum, after her primary run). Robia actually became born again during the hiatus between the first and second seasons. Except for her appearances in "I Robot You Jane" and "Prophecy Girl," Robia was a Christian for the entire time she was on the show.Nolefan32 18:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

To NeilEvans and anyone else who feels the need to delete factual information without bothering to check its accuracy, I give you Robia LaMorte's trivia page from IMDb (http://imdb.com/name/nm0478750/bio), which lists the exact same data I had posted and you chose to delete unfounded. Now, see, I tried to be nice and include some information that made the original trivia entry (about Robia LaMorte being a born-again Christian) relevant, as this is a page about the character of Jenny Calendar and not about the actress who plays her (Robia has her own page). Considering that Jenny Calendar is a technopagan and not a born-again Christian, the entry as it stood (and as you tried to revert it back to) thus has no relevance. I could have just deleted the original trivia entry altogether, due to its lack of relevance, but instead I tried to make it relevant. Now admittedly I don't have the necessary knowledge to create a tag for every single little piece of nit-noid info that I post, and I do apologize for that. Would you rather I just follow your lead and go around randomly deleting other people's entries? Nolefan32 00:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

In response to your comments above, if you want to add info that you say is factual then it is your responsibility to also add a verifiable source. Stating the IMDB page, is not really enough as the info on those pages are added by members and could be false.--NeilEvans 00:41, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Nolefan. Unfortunately IMDB's trivia pages don't qualify as reliable sources since any unsourced and dubious info can be submitted. Something more reliable, like an interview with Robia, would be required. If that information can be found, it'd probably fit best on the page for "Amends." I agree with you that the comment on Robia's faith is not particularly relevant here, and I've removed it. --Nalvage 00:43, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
It's a moot point now that Nalvage has deleted the trivia altogether (which, BTW, I'm comfortable with because, as noted, the trivia as it stood wasn't relevant to the character, it's a factoid about the actress who plays her and rightfully appears on her page - my only desire was to make it more relevant rather than deleting someone else's entry). As for the data on the IMDb page, sorry if you didn't think that was good enough. I've known Robia for about six years and have been present on many occasions when she's discussed the topic publicly and privately, but I believe that comes under the heading of "personal research" (I think that's the term) and thus can't be listed because it can't be verified. It is something she has discussed frequently, though, in interviews. For example, she eludes to it (though not as clearly as some might like) in an interview that appears in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Magazine #14 (Aug/Sep 04). She did another interview in the Christian e-zine Infuze in Aug 2004 where she states the same thing, this time more clearly and in greater detail. I just went with the IMDb entry because it was the most readily accessible. Hopefully that's satisfactory for the "delete first and ask questions never" crowd. Nolefan32 02:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
What exactly is the relevance of the actress's religion in an article on the fictional character? None. Glad to see it got deleted. --kingboyk (talk) 14:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
