[edit] Returning to the OC in 2007
It says that she played Marissa Cooper, 2003-2006 (returning 2007)...How is this possible considering she died? o_O SilverNightFire 11:25, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- It isn't. Iorek85 12:17, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nationality
See:
where Ms. Barton claims she holds both UK and US passports. I was under the impression that the US did not permit this. -- Bill 17:50, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Technically it is not allowed, but nobody is prosecuted for it JerDW
- No, it isn't "not allowed", it's just that US law doesn't recognize any specific rights that come from holding citizenship in another nation (Of course, there was long a faction at the State Department which wanted to outlaw dual citizenship altogether and was perfectly happy with people believing it was). Daniel Case 18:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Assuming the above is correct the entryshould be changed to British-American actress or some such combination.Alci12
- She's now a naturalised U.S. citizen, so she belongs in Category:English Americans but not in any British occupational categories. Golfcam 19:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
It says that she is an Irish-Born American Actress in the beginning. But according to the IMDB, she was born in London, which we know is in the UK. So, we have conflicting sources or what? 151.200.186.195 23:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- It said "Irish-born" because an anon added it yesterday, with no explanation. It no longer says that. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
In response to the US government not alowing 2 passports, this is not entirely true. The US governement does not forbid its citizens from becoming citizens of another country, and does not require them to renounce their previous citizenship before becomming an American. Although they do not recognize dual citizenship and any other passports you may hold.
-
- How the hell can Barton be included in a list of Irish-American actors but not English-American actors when she was English-born to one English parent! Yes, she has an Irish parent too, but I repeat: English-born to one English parent. She holds a UK passport. Once again Wikipedia succeeds in making everyone Oirish. 86.7.208.240 23:37, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Has anyone actually said she shouldn't be in that category, because if not, then the only reason she's not is because you haven't added her...user: Amoammo
- Isn't she in the category? I see it there now, I was under the impression it's been there a long while Mad Jack 04:38, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Middlesborough is not in London, its about 300m away in the north? But she really come from there? Its the worst place in England. If it wasn't from Rhyll it would be the worst place in Britain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.29.1 (talk) 15:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
she said on the letterman show that she had irish and british passports and would get the one from the US.
[edit] lopsided
The article is a little one-sided, anyone care to put in both sides?
Hmmm...Is this a promo piece? Thats not allowed in Wiki.
[edit] Mischa in Paraguay?
Is there any evidence that she has ever lived in Paraguay? This piece of Mischa's article, shown below, may be vandalism:
Barton also lived in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay from 1991 to 1993, where her mother worked for the Peace Corps. Barton still claims Asunción, Paraguay is one of her favorite spots for a relaxing vacation, where her anonymity is maintained.
I think that the source of this information should be included.

[edit] Trivia
The Trivia has interesting information, but is it relevant to an encylopedia entry? -Courtkittie 06:13pm, 17 July 2005
- I don't think that this kind of information hurts the article. It is better to keep the trivia. --Carioca 22:24, July 16, 2005 (UTC)
-mishca isn't just a russian male name. it's the male nickname for variations on "michael" in many languages, particularly where the "ch" is pronounced with a soft "sh" sound instead of a hard "k" like in english. My money's on this peice being added by a "Sex and the City" fan who's heard Sarah Jessica Parker talking about Mikhail "Mischa" Baryshnikov. Oh dear. EDIT: sorry that i forgot to sign this comment all that time ago. Amo 23:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Mischa is also the little bear mascot in the Olympic Games in Moscow 1980 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mgp2005 (talk • contribs) 15:16, 12 March 2006
- The trivia notes that she is considered to be unusually thin. It should also be noted that (amid all the talk of celebbrities with eating disorders or being too thin) that she has always been rather thin, as can be seen in all the movies she made as a child and growing up.
I'm taking the unusually thin comment out, she's been a tall thin girl since she was aged 10 (as mentioned above), it's nothing new and until someone has evidence to point out otherwise, she does not suffer from an eating disorder so there's no point having a comment which suggests otherwise. --Iscariot 23:00, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Quotes
Some had added a few extra bits to the trivia section, but some stuff was repeating what's mentioned in the career section. Does anyone have an improvement on this quote? I'd imagine it's incorrect unless Mischa talks about herself in the 3rd person since I doubt she said this in the following format:
She never wanted to start acting but said (Quote)"Acting released things inside of her that I didn't want to deal with in 'real-life'"(Sunday magazine(Herald Sun Newspaper)(Australia))
Also the part about Calvin Klein being her favourite jeans isn't supported by a source.
-Iscariot 22:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
"I hate the media, haven't they got better things to do that write about the ups and downs of an eighteen yr ols's romance"
Once again this quote is unsourced plus clearly contains typos. I'm taking it out until someone can provide a source plus an accurate quote (with correct spelling?).
-Iscariot 07:48, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
The quote is wrong... the actual quote is "The way they build you up to take you down, I hate it. Aren't there more important things to talk about than the ins and outs of an 18 yr old's romance?"
and this quote is from March 2005 Australian Vogue

[edit] Engagement
Is there a reason why:
She is currently engaged to Cisco Adler from the band Whitestarr
was removed from her biography? It seems relevant and has been confirmed so isn't idle gossip.
-Iscariot 09:13, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Perhaps it wasn't sourced? Edits which aren't general knowledge need sourcing or could otherwise be removed -- fdewaele 29 December 2005 14:37 CET
-
- Would this do? http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/78692004.htm --Iscariot 22:35, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- "...Mischa Barton is reportedly set to marry musician Cisco Adler in a swanky wedding in February..." - reportedly might mean it is just a rumour --PTSE 00:49, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Photo Copyright
I dug through the internet and managed to find copyright and source information for the image being used here and at Marissa Cooper so hopefully the image can stay now.
- Iscariot 21:06, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
P.S. I'm doing way too much work on this page for it to be healthy.
[edit] Two questions
Since I see Mel Etitis didn't revert it yet (thank you) I'll put up these two questions here and see what people think.
- A Should the categories be alpha-betical? After all, featured articles like Lindsay Lohan are alpha-betical. And who are we to decide which categories are most important?
- Should she be under Irish-American actors? Her mother's Irish, she's spoken candidly about her mother's background and certainly hasn't renounced it. I think it belongs.
- Thanks for the input.
JackO'Lantern 18:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Furthermore, are we sure that she's a US citizen? The only thing I could find is that she has a green card - not a citizenship
- she also says she has an Irish passport - seems good for the Irish category. [1] "I was born in London, and so were my two sisters. My mother's Irish--she went to school in London when she was young--but she's full-on Irish, you can trace it back as far as you want. My father is from Manchester, England, with the accent... Yeah--I consider myself American, and so does my family. I have a British passport, an Irish passport, and an American green card." JackO'Lantern 18:42, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
She's definitely American. It was pretty publicized when she got her citizenship. A source would be nice though.
[edit] False statement??
I removed the statement :
She is expected to reappear as Marissa Cooper in Episode 4.07, "The Chrismukk-huh?"
since she cannot reappear because she is dead... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 172.201.177.125 (talk) 00:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC).
- It could have been possible becasue of the fact that when ryan and taylor were in the coma it was like a parallel universe. But when ryan went to the airport to see if it was Marrisa, it was katlyn, Marrisa had died when they went to TJ in series 1 from an overdose; which means ryan had infact given her 3 more years!
[edit] Longer
I seem to remember this article to be much longer than it is now maybe its just me Josh Razor 06:01, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
Here are quite a few taken from the 2005 Teen Choice Awards.
http://www.mischa-b.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=556
Would they be subject to copyright? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheKillerAngel (talk • contribs) 03:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Fansite Link?
Is it possible I could have my fansite linked on the page? My site is clean and I wanted to be respectful and not just add it. Mischa Barton Fan Emma-434 10:23, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Main Picture
Sorry i tried uploading a more recent headshot of Mischa, thinking it was just a simple html format, but obviously i was wrong and have no idea how to get the image up there. So could someone please upload a picture, or teach me how to? thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jaderade23 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Why do we need a new photo? What's wrong with the one there? Stifle (talk) 16:17, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Filmography
Is it okay to put the filmography in chronological order like 1995- present. If so Id gladly do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.141.14.152 (talk) 21:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Protected
Due to recent edit wars this page has been protected for 10 days. Please use this time to establish a consensus on what to include. Edit warring after the protection expires will be viewed dimly. If you come to a consensus before the expiry time, list the page at WP:RFPP. Stifle (talk) 09:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
- I just looked at the edit history to see why this article has been protected at this time. Whoa, that was a lot of reverting. But I don't really see it as en edit war, since the new user was being reverted due to wrong formatting...per Wikipedia policy. But I suppose I understand why this article is on lockdown anyway at the moment. Flyer22 (talk) 03:42, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
- That wasn't the whole of it. There were content changes in there too. There's also the issue of a conflicted user. Stifle (talk) 10:11, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
The filmography here is a mess - not complying with Wiki standards or logic. Stage plays do not belong in filmographies, and across other similar Wiki articles, TV show are also distinguished from theatrical releases. Someone who cares about creating an article worthy of this particular subject should see to it.Sensei48 (talk) 22:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] sexual orientation
i read this morning on this page that mishe was a confirmed lesbian, now that comment is gone is it true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.69.8.190 (talk) 10:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Was the comment about Misha being a lesbian true or false, i saw it this morning and i told my friends, so i was just wondering? |||| —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ciaraok555 (talk • contribs) 10:59, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I am the editor who removed the content. I have no idea if it's true or not. But I do know that no reference was given to let me verify the statements' truth. Please see wp:verify and wp:blp for why this matters. Cheers. Grblundell (talk) 11:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
