Talk:Kelly Preston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] January 26, 2006
I though the revert by James084 went back a bit too far, so had the side effect of undoing valid changes. I refixed the disambig target, and put back in the children names. The only change that was left was the reference to Secret Admirer. While she did have a part in that, and it was a sex comedy, I don't know if it was a starring role or what her part involved. (So technically that edit could be true, I just don't know, hence why I'm am not putting that back) MartinRe 20:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I am taking out the paragraph about her son Jet's alleged autism because:
a) The sources are 'Hollywood Interrupted,' a celebrity gossip blog and 'Operation Clambake,' an anti-Scientology message board, neither WP:V or WP:RS.
b) No one knows whether Jet actually has autism. No RS has been established for it.
c) It is derogatory.
If anyone wants to revert this change, let them provide a reliable source. If no such source is provided, the person who reverts this change can expect a warning notice: Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced or inadequately referenced controversial biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

- Mark Ebner is an award winning investigative journalist. Just because he writes about Hollywood doesn't make his website "gossip". His article is credible; the "Kawasaki syndrome through carpet cleaning" that Travolta is telling isn't. I am therefore restoring it. --Tilman 07:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
No more putting the paragraph about some guy thinking their son is autistic. That's for gossip blogs, not for wikipedia. When there is a credible source that says he is autistic, when there is any genuine news about it, we can put that there, but not gossip. Johnpedia 06:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- See the discussion on my discussion space... the defects have been corrected, the current version is ok according to WP:BLP. As I said before, this ain't gossip. When I think about it, John and Kelly's story about Kawasaki syndrome, THAT is gossip. --Tilman 06:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

- Tilman, if you will take a look at WP:V, which is wiki policy, not a guideline, it states that blogs are largely not acceptable as sources. "Self-published sources such as blogs should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer. See WP:BLP."
It might pass notice if the material were not derogatory and potentially libellous. S. M. Sullivan 23:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

- The New York Daily News, which took up the story, is not a blog. --Tilman 08:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

You really really really need to go get some kind of life. This is just so pathetic of you to continue coming bacl here and restoring it and being so passionate about it. And they never said their son got that syndrome from carpet cleaner. Their son was breathing in those carpet cleaner fumes AT THE HOSPITAL where he was being treated for his snydrome, if you read correctly. But please just go get a life. 24.69.67.173 07:36, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
- So they took the carpet to the hospital for him to cuddle and it was cleaned there again??? --Tilman 16:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Here's what Travolta himself had to tell:
Travolta's law The Irish Times 10.4.1999 (...) He first became actively involved in campaigning to highlight the overuse of chemicals and toxics three years ago after Jett almost died from a seemingly innocuous incident. "We had a new carpet and had it cleaned," he recalls. "They'd used chemicals on it and it hadn't fully dried out and there were a couple of times when Jett had played with his toys {on the carpet} or picked up food that had fallen on it. "He had this terrible reaction where his body swelled up and he had a temperature of like 104 or 105. He almost lost his life. I went crazy, I was going out of my mind with worry. "We rushed him to hospital, and fortunately a Japanese doctor identified the problem which was a reaction to the chemicals. (...)

[edit] Descent
When you say "Is of English and Hawaiian descent." What exactly do you mean? She has an English father and a native Hawaiin mother or...?

[edit] Last Name Contradiction
Under early life it says "Preston was born as Kelly Kamalelehua Smith in Honolulu, Hawaii." and in the right panel it says she was born "Kelly Kamalelehua Palzis". Is this an error? 76.112.118.250 (talk) 22:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
