[edit] Infobox Photo

The Wikipedia article itself states that Ursula Andress is recognised as being "a major sex symbol of the 1960s". She should be remembered as such.

I propose that the Infobox photo, showing her to be a haggard old woman beaten by age, be deleted.

We should remember her as she was not as she is now.--87.243.196.167 10:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Does nobody actually ever read the Ursula Andress article and talk page ?

I made my proposal a month ago and not one person has come to this talk page since then ?

If nobody disagrees with me then I feel I have the right to remove the Infobox photo.

I can't believe that I am the only person who ever bothers to look at the Ursula Andress article.

--87.243.196.167 11:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I have received permission from Wikipedia Help Desk to remove the Infobox photo, see Ursula Andress Talk Page

I am therefore removing the photo. 87.243.196.167 12:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Please point to where on the Help Desk anyone "gave you permission" to emove the image? Wikipedia is not censored. There seem to be few, if any, free images of Ms. Andress, and the image that was there is one that's available. Your view of the image eing of someone who is "a haggard old woman beaten by age" is merely your own point of view, and somewhat ageist, at that. I will be restoring the image until you come up with a reasonable argument as to why the image should not be there. Corvus cornix 17:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why you are having a go at me. I did everything right.

  • 1) I did not act peremptorily
  • 2) I put my proposal on the Talk Page
  • 3) Not one person bothered to reply - not even you
  • 4) I gave the link showing where I got permission, above, did you not click on it ?
  • 5) You do not have the right to say you will keep on reverting. You have to abide, as I do, by the Consensus of the Wikipedia majority.

I, therefore, put my proposal again on the table again for another month - and this time, I hope people will actually bother to vote.

My own vote is - Remove.

Remove - the fact that there are "few free images" of Ursula Andress should not be a factor in considering this photo. It has to be considered on its own merits. It is better to have no photo in the Infobox than this one. I want Ursula Andress remembered as the beautiful woman she was. Caprisa 10:55, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Remove - Remember the legend of Ursula Andress. There is a photo of a beautiful Ursula Andress with Peter Sellers in the article, that is sufficent. Tovojolo 11:03, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I fully agree. I therefore added a recent photo of Ursula Andress where she looks beautiful. I hope you like it. I also added some facts to her personal life.--John Jason Junior (talk) 21:39, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Ok. There is one huge problem here. The Filmography. It is verbatim to the filmography on the IMDB [1] or at least the first 8 listings, but have a feeling the rest follows suit. Beamer 20:09, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Beamer

[edit] Filmography

Neither of them included Five Against Capricorn, but Wikipedia does now!

[edit] Then & Now =

You seen her now? She look like a zombie!

Can we include that?

Please?--Crestville 16:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photo

I have a photo, just unsure how to post it. It is of Ursula about 3-4 years ago and yes, she looks exquistite. Suissenut (talk) 07:26, 15 December 2007 (UTC)suissenut

I do not see a single bit of logic in this conversation. This is an article of an actor, who received her only international award for her performance in the movie "Dr No" in 1962. We don't own an image from the film, so we cannot include one in the info box. Can we at least include a screenshot as a fair use image in the latter sections of the article? It does state, that the scene in "Dr No" of her emerging from the sea has been voted as the sexiest movie scene ever. The article needs a picture from the scene. Any other opinion? User:Erikupoeg
Then write up the fair use rationale for either this one or this one. Gimmetrow 23:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
There is no logic in your response to my original post concerning a picture of Ms. Andress. She is known for movies other than Dr. No. Please have your facts in order before accusing another of lack of logic.~~Suissenut —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.15.212.126 (talk) 07:57, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
If you took the image yourself and want to contribute it, that's great! You would use the "upload file" link from the toolbox (probably on the left of the page). You have to upload from an account (not an IP). Gimmetrow 05:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another Marriage?

I thought I'd read at one time that the (younger) drummer from some rock group was married to her, like Bon Jovi or something. 66.68.159.105 (talk) 04:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
