This article is not protected?
With her being announced as showrunner of the upcoming female-centric Star Wars series, Leslye Headland is becoming a target for anti-feminist internet trolls. That means an increased risk of this article getting vandalized. I believe it might be wise to pro-actively issue some level of protection. 46.97.170.78 (talk) 12:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
 * There has not been persistent, long term vandalism on this page, therefore it does not qualify for page protection. If vandalism happens consistently in the future the standard page protection procedure will be followed. Ed6767 (talk) 12:53, 6 May 2020 (UTC)


 * To be fair that is not all trolling. We should add a criticism section about her history of racist remarks. She has admitted to selecting her writer by skin color, not by talent. 84.112.125.136 (talk) 22:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Yada yada yada, blah blah blah, allegations. Prove it ... where are the reliable published sources that verify this tidbit? Or is gossip and social media all there is? Pyxis Solitary   (yak) . L not Q. 12:06, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

wrong information about "the acolyte"
Her bio states that the TV show "the acolyte" received mixed reviews from critics and low reviews from the general audience, citing the website "rotten tomatoes" as a source. However, in the website the critics' score is 85% (hardly "mixed"), and has been getting review bomber by trolls since the start (source) I think it's incorrect to maintain in her biography that her first Disney+ show has been getting mixed to bad reviews and should be edited.

 * I agree. I created an account to suggest an edit be made in regard to this issue. The source doesn't support the claim. Moreover, the documented review bombing campaign is important missing context that should be mentioned. I believe that the statement could be removed entirely, if not edited to reflect the backlash from trolls and conservatives commentators. Suspicious Door (talk) 08:42, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I agree that "mixed" is not an appropriate summation of the score. I think it's best to not summarize it entirely and just say what the sources say, as WP:AGG suggests:
 * "On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an average approval rating of 84% based 102 critics' reviews, while receiving a generally unfavorable rating from the general audience on Metacritic"


 * It's best practice not to include user generated content, but when the disparity between critic and user reviews is a story within itself, it's hard to ignore it -- MacAddct1984 (talk &#124; contribs) 13:46, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Sources with conflicting information about years as Weinstein assistant
In the Career section it is written that "Headland spent six years working as an assistant at Miramax, four years of which was spent as Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant" as reported in her RottenTomatoes profile (source 7).

However both in the Vulture and Entertainment Weekly interviews (sources 8 and 10) it is claimed by the author of the article and Headland herself respectively that she filled that position for a year: "Headland also talked about her 2008 play Assistance, which she wrote after spending a year as Harvey Weinstein’s assistant" (Vulture) and " I worked for the copresident of production at Miramax. I work for Harvey for about a year, and then I worked for Arianna Huffington for about a month." (EW)

Is there a reason why in the Wikipedia article it was decided to go with four years over one? (e.g. RottenTomatoes considered as accurate/trustworthy over personal recollections?) AlbertoSeptim (talk) 07:12, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
