Untitled[edit]

The middle three sentences of the second paragraph is an exact copy of the imdb bio entry (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1246371/bio). Who stole from who?

Wikipedia: Sara guest-starred as herself on the HBO series Entourage, in which she had a romantic tryst with character Vincent Chase (played by actor Adrian Grenier) before appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live in the episode "Talk Show". She briefly hosted Entertainment Tonight spin-off ET on MTV in 2002. Based on that breakthrough she was cast as the lead femme fatale in The Big Bounce in 2004, which was a remake of a previous movie adaptation of the same Elmore Leonard novel.

imdb: She is a former fashion model who briefly hosted the short-lived "Entertainment Tonight" (1981) spin-off "ET on MTV" (2000). Based on that breakthrough she was cast as the lead femme fatale in The Big Bounce (2004), which was a remake of a previous movie adaptation of the same Elmore Leonard novel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.155.249.189 (talk) 19:25, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Date of birth[edit]

The source has no Sara Foster born in Los Angeles in 1981 neither in August nor with the middle name "Christine". The table features many Sara Fosters:

FOSTER, SARA MICHAEL 02/05/1981 FEMALE LOS ANGELES
FOSTER, SARA NINETTE 08/27/1981 FEMALE SAN BERNARDINO
FOSTER, SARA CHRISTINE 08/02/1982 FEMALE VENTURA

Since Sara Fosters twitters under the account @saramfoster and is said to be born in Los Angeles AND tells people, she was born February 5th [1] it looks like somebody got it wrong: her middle name is "Michael". Then everything falls into place. --Krantnejie (talk) 10:40, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb doesn't make it easy, so I eventually registered there to submit the corrections (ticket 140103-133330-949000). Hope they will fix it now. --Krantnejie (talk) 13:36, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb fixed the birth date: [2] --Krantnejie (talk) 17:13, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, according to Hollywood.com, the last one is the correct one. ~~So this article has likely had the wrong birthdate, and been at the wrong title, for years.~~ (Walking the stricken part back... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:56, 18 June 2016 (UTC) ) --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:39, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, between the Twitter post, and the Hollywood.com thing, I'm taking the exact birthdate out and leaving it as "c. 1981" for now. As the exact birthdate is at least somewhat in dispute, this seems like the best course of action (under WP:BLPPRIVACY). If we could get a secondary source to confirm the Twitter post cited above, I think the exact DOB can be put back in at the article. But I'm personally uncomfortable relying on just the Twitter post for the DOB, with Baseline (via Hollywood.com) saying something else... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:46, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  - Closer... this New York Times piece seems to implicitly confirm a c. Feb. 1981 date... Still, I'd really prefer a solid secondary source on this. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 07:56, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I yield! I've used both the Twitter post from above, and The New York Times piece, to source the Feb. 5, 1981 DOB. Until a better secondary source can be found, this will have to do... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 08:11, 18 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 June 2016[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved to Sara Foster.(non-admin closure) Eventhorizon51 ^(talk) 01:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sara Michael Foster → Sara Foster (actress) – Why the heck is this article at "Sara Michael Foster" when she has never been credited as anything other than "Sara Foster"?! As Sara Foster (chef) exists, this article should be moved to Sara Foster (actress) for disambiguation purposes, or if it's determined that this Sara Foster is the "primary" then to Sara Foster. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:42, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support: Sara Foster is the most common name used, especially in her filmography. DaltonCastle (talk) 23:11, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support move to Sara Foster per WP:PRIMARY and WP:TWODABS (are two other persons red-linked at Sarah Foster notable – do not sound so?). No such user (talk) 15:52, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion[edit]

Any additional comments:

Based on Page view stats, the actress Sara Foster is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC (with well over 10 times as many pageviews) – I advise moving the actress to Sara Foster (we can add a hatnote), with a redirect created at Sara Foster (actress). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:36, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
