Talk:Jorja Fox

Name spelling
Is it supposed to be Jorja-An with one "n" or is that a typo? 23skidoo 21:56, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * imdb has it as Jorja-An. She has also been credited as Jorjan. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Her birth name is Jorja-An. Jorjan was a bastardization some TV show (Missing Persons?) came up with. -- Ipstenu 18:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

March issue of Calendar / LA Times?
The only March article I can find is this and it doesn't mention a relationship at all. Can you cite your source? -- Ipstenu ( talk | contribs ) 22:22, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Diastema
I recently removed the reference to Fox having a diastema as I found this to be a non-defining characteristic. The information was restored by Ipstenu, with the edit summary, "it's not uncommon, but she's reffered to as gap-toothed in a number of articles so it's notable about her, like Patrick Stewart is noted for being bald." The article on Patrick Stewart doesn't simply state that he is bald; it mentions his baldness within the context his having been voted "Sexiest Man on Television" by TV Guide in 1992, noting that this was unusual, "considering his age and his baldness." The reference to Fox's diastema in this article doesn't provide any context, so, unless it can be established that this feature is in some way notable, due to its history, its rarity, or its effect, I think it's an example of indiscriminate information. It might be worth mentioning Tim McIlrath has heterochromia, as this is sufficiently rare, but a gap between the top incisors is common enough that mentioning that a person has one would be like mentioning that they had brown hair, a hooked nose, or freckles. As for the fact that Jorja Fox has been been referred to as "gap-toothed" in published articles, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so I think its writing should maintain a more formal tone than TV Guide or the entertainment section of The New York Post. Entertainment publications are obviously going to use descriptive adjectives to refer to celebrities, but that doesn't mean we should follow suit, even if we opt for technical descriptions like "diastema" over informal ones like "gap-toothed." The diastema information was first inserted into the article by User:Maddmattg, and, looking through some of his contribs (example 1 and example 2), I get the impression that it was added as a joke. -Severa (!!!) 12:49, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Given that it comes up often enough when people talk about her (in the news etc and by herself) I figured it is something that's notable about her. However I don't care enough to make a big thing over it. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 21:27, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Has Jorja made comments about the diastema? In that case, it might be worth incorporating these, as it would add context. Looking at Maddmattg's contribs, I saw that the first article he made unconstructive edits to was People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, so perhaps this article was targetted by him due to Jorja's association with that group. -Severa (!!!) 11:10, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I know what you mean. Though sometimes in the noise, you actually get a bit of signal that is appropriate. Here's what I was able to dig up fast:

From a Stuff magazine article, 2002: STUFF: What's the strangest thing you've ever gotten stuck in that gap between your front teeth? JORJA: I'd have to say rocks. A couple of rocks, I was camping, it was dark, I was caught up in the moment and I got some rocks in my teeth. STUFF: Rocks. Your face was in the dirt? JORJA: Gently, but yes.

From In Style magaine 2002: "When I was young, I was very chubby and had buckteeth. I could fit a quarter between my two front teeth."

and People Magazine 2003 "Ask Jorja Fox about the small gap between her front teeth, and she presses her lips together in mock sensitivity. Starting at 12, 'I worse braces for three years,' says Fox, part of the crack forensics team on CBS's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. 'Then my wisdom teeth were supposed to come in and push them together. That didn't work. By the time I was 20, I said forget it.' Good thing. 'That's her Alfred E. Neuman smile,' says costar George Eads, 'And I've never seen anyone wear it better.'"

Which were the first three that I could dig up. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 14:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps the quotes about her childhood could be used to add a bit more personal context to the article. Thanks for taking the time to do this research. :-) -Severa (!!!) 13:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * God bless google search engines :) Hm.

"Growing up in Florida, Jorja Fox was overweight, with a prominent gap between her teeth. Over the years she had a variety of strange items stuck between her two front teeth, including a quarter and some rocks. By her twenties, neither her wisdom teeth nor braces had appreciably helped, and Jorja said 'forget it.'"
 * Then I suppose something about how she always felt the odd-man out, being brunette in a sea of blondes. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 13:27, 26 June 2007 (UTC)


 * This would seem like a good way to integrate this information into the flow of the article. The only thing I would change would be to attribute Jorja's description to herself, as in, "Growing up in Florida, Jorja Fox described herself as...". -Severa (!!!) 18:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

left CSI
changed from leaving CSI to left CSI per yahoo news report. Member - Society of Dog Lovers 23:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Two weeks ago Jorja said "no comment" to whether she was leaving or not. This week other reporters asked and again "no comment", now she suddenyl gave an interview to EW.com? Yahoo is quoting EW so it's really one source you've got there. Until CBS or Jorja make an official statement or Sara Sidle leaves Las Vegas, it's just gossip.Yamanbaiia 23:47, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Take a look at the EW.com story: it makes it clear that they had a discussion with Jorja herself on the topic. This is the money quote from the article:
 * "There are all these things I want to do. Some are personal. Some are professional. And I really need to do some of them before I get too old," explains Fox. "If I thought the show were on its last legs, I would have tried harder to stay the course. But I feel like its going to be around for a while, so if I don’t want some of those dreams to pass me by. I have to get off the ride for a while."
 * Seems clear enough to me. And the statement has since been picked up by the mainstream media via an article in the Associated Press. For us not to reference it would be a disservice. If it's untrue, we can correct it at that point. Tabercil 02:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess that now so many sources (AOLnews too) have also posted EW.com interview it should be posted. But you are not so certain either, if not that would have been posted in the "career" section and not in "controversies".Yamanbaiia 21:35, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * And the EW website now has a full interview with Jorja on the topic, which can be read here. Tabercil 23:30, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * CNN announced it too. I guess this will soon be in "career". Yamanbaiia 23:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Speech melody
Does anyone have anything on her weird speech? At first I was put off by exactly this and I didn't want to watch any CSI, but now I follow it regularly. She seems to make unusual breaks in her sentences with the voice going high or low. I find this very weird, but I have to keep watching/listening. It's like not being able to look away from a car accident.Iago4096 20:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I've heard that she took up smoking, leading to her once 'high-pitched' voice becoming more gravely, I guess, but that's just hearsay (from YouTube comments anyway :P ). Haven't got any further info about that. Londonsista (talk) 02:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Nom
I NEVER nominated this for deletion. Removing that comment since it's just not true. Dude, I wasn't even ON Wikipedia then, I was on a break. Didn't come back till Novemberish and left again shortly thereafter. -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 16:47, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Activism Recognition?
With regard to the statement: "She is annually nominated for PETA's "World's Sexiest Vegetarian".[volume & issue needed]"

Doesn't this phrasing suggest that nomination will continue indefinitely? Since it's an annual rather than lifetime honor, I suggest a rephrase or removal. Gprobins (talk) 20:29, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
