Talk:Hélène Joy

Birthdate
Just a reminder that we require reliable sources for information about our article topics' personal lives, including their birthdates. This is especially critical in this instance, as Joy's birthdate has been the subject of editwarring over conflicting claims about whether she was born in 1978 or 1973 — so we cannot include either date without citing a real media source for it.

Can somebody explain the photo?
It looks as if Ms. Joy is part of an art installation or something. Am I seeing that right? Not complaining...it looks cool.
 * It's a planned and staged portrait by a professional photographer, which Joy posed for and released to us with the full intention of having a more distinctive and attention-grabbing image on her page instead of just a run of the mill headshot. Sure, sometimes we just use candid shots, where somebody happened to run into the article subject on the sidewalk or take a picture of them speaking at an event, but we are also allowed to use more stylized professional portraits like this one as long as they've been released to us under a GFDL or Creative Commons copyright license.
