Talk:Nancy Beiman

Request: Information prior to 1984
Hello. I have no affiliation with Nancy Beiman; I'm just a regular editor. I have a request. Currently, there is no information regarding Nancy or her achievements that are dated before she won the NCS Division Award. I believe it should be this article's goal, among other goals, to give better context as to why she won the award in 1984. Plenty of people could find out about this article from the NCS Division Award page, so naturally, they would be curious to learn more about the work(s) that either earned her the award or were made at about the same time as what earned her the award. I'm not suggesting that Wikipedia commentates/ speculates on what it was about the work(s) that led to the award, but works with her name attached to it from that timeframe seem to be of minor cultural importance, and therefore should not be left out, if possible.

 * There was so much erroneous information in this article that I updated it myself. There is a great deal of biographical information about me online. My website, https://nancybeiman.com links to an early interview by Janet Benn. I removed the erroneous credits. The Internet Movie Database has also been updated and has the corrected credits. 142.115.93.55 (talk) 14:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

The original article on me was incorrect, out of date and contained some offensive material.
My edit is accurate, contains updated material, does not editorialize, and should be left alone. I am amazed that someone who does not have any connection to me or my career can make any changes they want to a Wikipedia article, with no accountability, while I am held accountable and asked to prove citations for basic information (such as my scholarship to Cal Arts?) If I am not allowed to correct the obvious mistakes in the original article I request that the entire listing be removed.

 * Hi Nancy, all material in Wikipedia is supposed to be supported by reliable sources, whether it is "basic information" or not. In this way Wikipedia is much like an academic paper: footnotes are essential. As the subject of this article, you have access to much information which cannot be verified by a third party, and therefore should not be included. If you feel that the article is inaccurate you have three options:
 * If the material is unreferenced you can delete it.
 * If the material is referenced, you can add additional referenced information to provide a more balanced view.
 * If you believe that you don't meet the criteria set forth at WP:GNG or WP:ACADEMIC you can request that the article be deleted by following the instructions at WP:AFD.

 * I have just corrected this terrible article for the second time in ten years. The film credits were erroneous and can easily be checked on the Internet Movie Database. You should be ashamed for printing something this awful without at least checking sources. 142.115.93.55 (talk) 14:20, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * So, you are saying that I am not qualified to talk about MY OWN career? 142.115.93.55 (talk) 14:20, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
