Her 50th birthday was yesterday, yet the entry hasn’t updated?[edit]

Just an observation. The title says it all. Jason.cinema (talk) 06:30, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In light of a book regarding being a baby...[edit]

Full title: In light of a book regarding being a baby, and rehab in life, babies are "good," only to honorably relate by her, Selma Bliar's own reflections, like in "Mean Baby" or "Introducing Selma Bliar."

It's easy in the sense of need of impartiality, in common English phrases,

to relate, ie, -(  for goodness sake, by God! for the love of God ),
thankfully, to my reactions,-
to Selma Blair quotes such as follows.

“Every person on this earth needs just one person who sees them and roots for them. Deeply, truly. One person. It's what we all need to get through. The more the merrier but let's start with one.” - Selma Blair, link, [1]https://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/93653566 - Just striving to discuss, Talk:Selma Blair, thereby;- The need of her, Selma Blair's own words in comments publically, personal in my, Joschtony's perspective, in that I'm me, Joseph Cimino, curator of "Joschtony" a pen name;- that the chance of someone's personal, such is Selma Blair, having public readily, online published conversational points, included, thus contextual conversational points of need of proper dignified respect for each of us, being human, a person, thus each being higher reasoning sentient, - in the image and likeness of God. Good today of days, in need of just peace beyond the human condition. Joschtony (talk) 18:41, 29 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In truth, posted by my dignity being a human being person in the image and likeness of God, because in reflection of her, Selma Blair's own words, that is, her understanding having knowledge of *critical thinking, by the gift of grace beyond the human condtion,

commonly referred to by the gift of God's grace, or termed oils of gladness favor in blessings of gratitude, -

it had been refreshing to hear her words at, noted as follows,

"Seek out the other stories. Hire other disabled people in front of and behind the camera — because you and whatever project you are working on will be better for having done so,” said Blair, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018, while accepting an award at The Hollywood Reporter's event on Wednesday." - "“My Story Is but One of Many”: Selma Blair Advocates for Actors With Disabilities at Women in Entertainment Event" BY ALEX CRAMER

Islamophobic Statements[edit]

The paragraph on her Islamophobic statements should be in a new section entitled "Controversy." This is what I've seen done with other celebrities on this page. Instead, it has been tucked away at the end of her section on "Advocacy." Not only is this an inappropriate place to put it, it obscures the paragraph when it should be highlighted. I suspect this was done deliberately to protect her reputation. I'm entirely against that kind of favoritism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.197.9 (talk) 00:59, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current positioning is fine. It can be seen as a badly failed attempt at advocacy. This is not a great big controversy. It was one very stupid Instagram post which she (rightly) deleted and (rightly) apologised for. It does not merit it's own section. (Not even close.) If it did merit it's own section, WP:CRITS makes it clear that that section should avoid being called "Criticism" or "Controversy". This edit warring has to stop! --DanielRigal (talk) 01:05, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

Her Islamophobic comments should be in a new section of her page called "Controversy." This is what I've seen done with other celebrities on Wikipedia. Instead, it has been tucked away at the end of her section on advocacy, where it is less likely to be read. That is not the appropriate section for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.245.197.9 (talk) 01:09, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
