HeathBABY
I removed the link to HeathBABY as this seems like a simple fansite. If this were his official site or something like that, I think it would belong in an encyclopedia. Otherwise, why pick that one site? --Ricky81682 01:52, Nov 22, 2004
Controversial
How is Heath Ledger "best known" for his part in Brokeback Mountain. Unless he is retiring from acting and isn't recognized by his previous films I think its questionable as to whether he is "best known" for anything at this point. Maybe this is his first leading role? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.59.4 (talk • contribs)
- Certainly not his first leading role (see "Ned Kelly"), and hopefully far from his last. He may be "best known" for this role at the moment - because it's just been released in the US and not even released in his home country yet - but that's a very current view which is inherently obsolescent (unless he were to fall under a bus tomorrow). We need a much longer view of the guy, as with any biography. I suggest it be removed. JackofOz 23:56, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

- I've removed the Controversial tag, since the "best known" phrase which the unsigned person above disagreed with has been removed. Wasn't exactly a controversy to begin with anyway. --Xyzzyplugh 18:43, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

- Yeah you can change it back again.

Edits by User:202.6.138.33
Hi, I thought it would be fair to add that ledger denies that he spit at journalists. I added that to the relationship with the press section, with a link to a news site, and added the site in the references section. Is this an acceptable reference?
I deleted the bit about the lynching because it was pretty much ignored by practically all the major media, so I don't think it effected his relationship with it. Also, I don't think historians' information on lynching is relevant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.6.138.33 (talk • contribs)

hi... about the passage "These statements have been roundly disputed by archivists and historians, who allege that the last extra-legal public hanging in West Virginia occurred in 1931.[2]"....... --that is obviously a foolish statement and a foolish inclusion in the wiki because the word "lynching" does not mean "hanging". a lynching was any illegal murder/execution by mobs, usually murderous racist mobs. anyone who knows anything about the jim crow era (which probably excludes most of young america) would know that lynchings also included burnings and other killings, not just hanging.128.119.237.89 04:27, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
External links
A few days ago I removed a batch of links from several related artciles linking to vote for heath (oscar for heath) as I though them inappropiate under WP:NOT soapbox. I see it's been put back in, and rather than playing Hokey-cokey have moved discusssion here. I believe links to general fan sites are discouraged, unless the fan site is istelf either notable or the offical one. vote for heath comes across as too soapbox (the domain name enforces that view), I have no knowledge about heathbaby (see above) as that's also listed as "fan site". So, the two fan sites links, in, out, or shake them all about? MartinRe 10:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
the "vote for heath" should probably go, but the fan site is quite large, and generates massive hits, so i think it's fairly notabe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.6.138.33 (talk • contribs)
the Dark Knight
Perhaps some of the comments Ledger made about how he would portray the character of the Joker in "The Dark Knight" should be briefly mentioned on this page.66.24.229.233 22:25, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Filmography: Dirt Music?
Why is Dirt Music, the novel by Tim Winton, listed under Ledger's filmography for 2008? IMDB says nothing of it, and neither does the Wikipedia entry for the novel itself. I think this information needs to be verified somehow. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 211.29.178.110 (talk) 03:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC).

If someone needs a photo of Ledger I found one here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/howie_berlin/102081411/ --Heida Maria 18:43, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

"Joker" image...
According to recent discussion in the Dark Knight Talk Page, there is evidence to suggest reasonable doubt as to the validity of the site where the image was taken, and thusly the authenticity of the image itself. Until we receive a confirmation from Warner Brothers, the blackout policy that prevents "ibelieveinharveydenttoo" from being contributed to Wiki applies here as well.

Fair use rationale for Image:Brokebackmountainheathledger.jpg
Image:Brokebackmountainheathledger.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:30, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
how is it determined that his character in "Monster's Ball" was gay when he has sex with a prostitute in the beginning ? that would at least make him bi-sexual wouldn't it?Donald628 03:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
