Should be considered for Bio status GA as it has been through a GA review process. Though as a biography it is quite weak - focussing more on trivia than verifiable details and facts Nogwa

"Personal" is rather thin

We watched Jumper tonight, and was doing a Wiki read about the cast; Bilson included. It's amazing how thin an article like this can be in the "personal" section. What kind of food does someone like? What are her favorite movies, etc.? I have yet to read of an actor who likes hiking and camping, to which we relate. That would be an interesting first to hear about - LOL. These folks need hog-tied and taken to enjoy outdoors more redwoods for example : - )

Looks like "Early life" could use a couple of extra paragraphs. Too little is often omitted about the toddler and early youth stages for people. Like who was a favorite aunt or uncle? What relatives left an impression on them? Mdvaden (talk) 08:00, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

She doesn't need to reveal that sort of information if she doesn't want to. Celebrities are entitled to a sense of privacy, just as everyone else. Nabudis Shadow (talk) 08:10, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

filmography

she starred in Brick, an indie film in 2005 with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.110.43.194 (talk) 14:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it was Nora Zehetner that co-starred with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Brick. --Wreckedd08 (talk) 02:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She is only half Jewish

...and the vast majority of Jews wouldn't consider her Jewish since her mother is a gentile. The "American Jews" category does not belong on this page!--75.164.113.110 (talk) 11:21, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and I'll remove it as nobody has objected. As the IP says, Jews usually don't consider anyone Jewish unless their mother is Jewish.Jeppiz (talk) 03:27, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Pregnant"

It's inaccurate to say "it was announced" she was pregnant: No one made an announcement or issued a press release. You could say "it was reported," but that's passive voice weasel-wording. Secondly, the Daily News didn't report it -- it merely re-reported, and attributed, Us Weekly. And that original outlet is only citing unnamed, unattributed, anonymous supposed "sources." That's way too specious for an encyclopedia, which is supposed to be the irrefutable, concrete final word, as much as humanly possible. This discussion already went on in depth at Scarlett Johansson, where there was no consensus to use unconfirmed, anonymous claims, i.e. rumors. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:23, 21 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
