Talk:Sophie Marceau/Archive 1

Official site
The "Official Site" listed is a fansite, not her official site. I move to replace it with a simple IMDb link, or strike it completely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.249.206 (talk • contribs) 02:53, January 8, 2007
 * Ok, I struck it. Happen to know what her official site is? Valrith 02:48, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Beauty of Sophie Marceau

"Scandal"?
Why is this article in Category:Scandals? There is no mention of any scandal within the article. Maralia 05:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

NPOV?
The text reads like an actor's PR piece, not like a Wikipedia article.Martin Turner (talk) 23:47, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyright violation
I have reverted the article to the most recent version I could find that did not clearly lift text from sophie-marceau.ifrance.com.

Copying text directly from another site is a copyright violation, even if the original is in another language. Additionally, sophie-marceau.ifrance.com is not a reliable source as it is just a fansite.

Not a violation at all! Text was not "lifted" but rather translated and updated from several sources, and references were provided. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.166.33.174 (talk) 05:15, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely, any text that is freely available (regardless of copyright) may be translated by anyone and the copyright for the translation belongs to the translator (unless he waives his right in a contract). It would, in fact be a copyright violation if the publisher of the original text were to use the translation without permission. For example, the last three Harry Potter books were translated into German by groups of translators because of the great delay of the German publishing date. The rights to these translations are in the public domain, whereas the right to the officially translated texts (books) belong to the German publisher. TINY MARK  22:43, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A literal translation of a copyrighted text however is still under copyright (like the original text). Literal translations of copyrighted material require a licence as well. What you can do in any case do rephrase the text in your own words and small translations (in the scope of the article) might be seen as such a legal rephrasing anyhow. --Kmhkmh (talk) 17:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Why bad pictures?

Article Incomplete
A few years back, major news sources reported that Marceau had been robbed, attacked and battered by thieves. She was pregnant at the time. This incident is not a scandal, a frivolity or a POV comment, but a serious matter of public record. It seems important enough in her history (and certainly to her) that it should have been included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Younggoldchip (talk • contribs) 21:56, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Marceau also married Lambert in 2012. The article doesn't mention this either and he continues to be listed as 'Partner' instead of 'Spouse'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.249.138.151 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * You can fix this yourself. Find a source and fix it. Debresser (talk) 16:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

Gallery removed
Recently the gallery was removed, with a reference to WP:Gallery. I think the gallery was a good addition to this article. I'd like to see if there is consensus to remove it. Debresser (talk) 21:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * WP:Gallery suggests that the use of a gallery section may be appropriate in some Wikipedia articles if a collection of images can illustrate aspects of a subject that cannot be easily or adequately described by text or individual images. The images in the gallery collectively must have encyclopedic value and add to the reader's understanding of the subject. In my view, not a lot of additional content is provided by a gallery of images of a person. Inline pictures seem the better choice. The wikilink in external links or googling pictures provides easy access to pictures of the subject.Inwind (talk) 21:40, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree the gallery definitelly seems inappropriate for an encyclopedic biography (this feels a bit like a magazine biography/photo shoot instead) and the article had already enough photos of Marceau anyhow.--Kmhkmh (talk) 19:31, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

trained cellist?
This is been bugging me for a while and is possibly an urban (or rather an internet) myth. Aside from the cited website (which is not a good source), I can't find any proper source mentioning her cello training/playing. She did however play a cellist in the movie "lost & found" (and may have received some (short) training for the role) and this may have led led to the (false) notion/meme of her being "classically trai8ned chellist". The latter formulation however normally implies a training by a professional treacher/music school over many years (including a degree in doubt). So if no other sources can be found, I suggest to remove the according sentence from the article.--Kmhkmh (talk) 07:06, 12 January 2023 (UTC)
