Nineteen Eighty-four Screenshot

[edit]

I've removed the nude screenshot from the main article page and added it as a link. I don't think we should add a completely nude screenshot in the actress's main article as many people might not be expecting to see a naked woman in an encyclopaedic entry about her. Is there any official wikipedia policy about this ? sikander 09:16, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One may argue that she is most famous for her nudity in that movie but I agree that it may be more like titilation on a biography. There is a promotional photo at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/fridayandsaturday_plays.shtml if someone cared to upload it. I can not since I won't "log in" to Wikipedia. 71.110.163.137 17:00, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB

[edit]

At least parts of this article are identical to the imdb entry on Suzanna Hamilton http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358180/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.254.193.193 (talk) 20:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I noticed the same. The only remark I'd want to make is that it is hard to say which text was written first. I've never tried writing a bio on IMDb but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just as much user-written as Wikipedia. Maybe it's worth some effort to see whether this article has slowly increased in size, as most articles do, or was created from scratch in no-time, which would suggest copy-paste.

So, all right, one of the earliest edits, 06:05, 28 January 2006 24.83.210.101, created it all in one go, from stub to, well, almost the article it is now. However, in between, there are numerous (hundreds) of edits by a Wikipedia user calling himself Jaiwills, which obviously isn't coincidentally the same as the author of the IMDb biography. Therefore, since this article basically is 2 years old, I'm inclined to believe that the Wikipedia article was copied into IMDb. There seems not to be a problem anymore.

New York Times movie critic

[edit]

The article reports that Vincent Canby praised Hamilton's performance in 1984. The review is still online. Canby praised the movie in general terms and Hamilton got a name-check, but he didn't write anything about her acting. Deletion to follow.--AntientNestor (talk) 15:13, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but that is simply not correct. I ahve read the Cenby review you have kindly provided the URL for, and he says, when discussing the performances, "Mr. Burton is fine as the suave, avuncular O'Brien - his last film role - and Miss Hamilton, with her little-girl prettiness combined with a steely self-assurance, would seem to be a major find as Julia." I suggest that for a pretty much unknown actor, that does constitute praise for her acting, and the reference should not be deleted.Sbishop (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That was quick! I've checked it again and you are right—the relevant paragraph was obscured by a pop-up ad the first time I looked. Reverting the tag, and thanks.--AntientNestor (talk) 15:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
