Talk:Amber Benson/Archive 1

Sections
I really want some help here. Amber was supposed to come back in Buffy, but never did. What's the deal? It's highly relevant, and its not entirely clear what happened.--Sam-El 22:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

What's the mystery? She has said repeatedly she didn't want to come back and play an "evil Tara". Web Warlock 03:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Yep. I guess it was an understanding behind closed doors that there were no more stories to tell. Benson didn't want to come back as an evil whitch, and she felt like Tara came full circule. It was not a big deal. I think people can appreciate the charater more. - Mac

I changed the date of: *Gryphon (2006) TV movie -to- *Gryphon (2007) TV movie. According to the SciFi channel, the minimovie comes out on January 27, 2007. - Mac

I began to expand upon what was written. I am also keeping track of my sources. Amber is a talented multi-tasking professional, and I think everyone would appreciate some clearity. I will do my best. - Mac

At the moment, I have allready started on a revision to the page. I added a new introduction, and started the development of the section called: Independent Feature Film & Animation Film Career. I will be back in a few moments to continue. I wanted to get some of her books and comicbook intell correct. At the very end, I will build a reference list. - Mac

So far, so good. Since I am new to this place, I am not familar with the sites functionality. I am looking online for plot summaries, and cross references. I will make a link list of references, so the article will have some validation. - Mac

I moved the section Personal Life up and under the introduction. I thought it would support the introduction. I am working on the novel and comic stuff tonight, so I hope to have it uploaded by the end of the night. My main objective is to remove the Career section, and to replace it with a more fleshed out and organized set of categories. Seperating her tv, movies, novels, comics, and everything else will shead some light on who she really is. Please, leave the Career section there, so we can use it as an outline. The list below the career section will remain. Could someone help in proofing the dates for accuratcy? F.Y.I. - I am using Microsoft Word to write out the intel, so I can get my grammar and spelling straight. - Mac

"Tara Maclay was a long-term love interest of Alyson Hannigan’s character Willow Rosenberg. During that time period (2000-2003), their story arch was considered television’s first long-term alternative relationship."

This belongs under "career". "Personal life" info belonged more to "Biography" section. Personal life sections typically contain info on beliefs, relationships and such. Duribald 23:48, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey Duribald, We can add that under a heading of television. Once we get to fleshing that portion out, we can add it to that section. Should we put a line under the word Career? MacCorp 00:03, 13 January 2007 (UTC)-

Nope, career is a sub-section of the biography. That's how it's usually done on WikiPedia. :-) Duribald 02:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I was thinking of it as a designer. Lol... No problem. :) Last night I couldn't finish the new sections. I will continue the work. Lol..MacCorp 15:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Personal life
I reverted the addition of speculation on who she may be dating. Last spring, there was an edit war on this topic that got fairly nasty, and I do not want to see a repeat. The ruling was not to add information on this topic unless the information can be verified by citing reliable sources. --FreeKresge 06:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning up
If nobody else will do the clean up after MacCorps unfinished revisionm then I might take on the task. This will, however, take some time, so feel free to join in in any way you like. -Duribald 00:45, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm taking out some of the stuff not actually used in the article, and placing it here in case Mac returns and wants to use it. - Duribald 03:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

''Thanks man. I am still nick-picking on the article, but I don't have a lot of time in one day to deal with it all. I agree. This stuff will take a while to find credible information. I will work with you to add things here or there. If anyone else has anything to add, please feel free to do so.'' - MacCorp 15:48, 25 January 2007

Good! Nice to have you back, Mac. :-) - Duribald 03:10, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me chipping in to give the article a wee tidy up. Hazel75 15:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Sure Hazel. Anything you can add will be helpful. Just keep it unbiased and factual as possible. Just remember to add some references. :) While writting this, I am watching the Buffy episode "One More Time With Feeling". Lol... MacCorp 17:49, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Bias towards recent events
This article, like many on Wikipedia seems to be a bit biased towards recent events. There appears to be nothing mentioned about Benson's career before 2002, despite the fact that she started out in the business almost ten years earlier. --Jtalledo (talk) 10:39, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it's biased towards what we have a lot of info on. Plus - she is mostly known from Buffy. -Duribald 13:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
