This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted or if there are other concerns relative to this policy, report it on the living persons biographies noticeboard.

[edit] Rorschach ??

What the heck is the fan favorite psychotic vigilante "Rorschach" ? JackofOz 05:57, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Rorschach (comics), from the Watchmen comics series. He's the one wearing the white mask with inkblots.—jiy (talk) 06:35, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Birth date

OK, this is a worry. The lead para says 29 December 1972, but the infobox says 28 December 1971. Which is it, and let's have a citation to prove it. JackofOz 12:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)...............It is 1972 because he was in the year above me...--Lee F 15:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

That doesn't really count as a citation, nor does it give us a firm date. Tinkstar1985 12:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] what about other films?

don't you think there are some serious stuff in his filmography that worth some mention? like closer, mr.ripley, and else...--Quinlan Vos 15:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing photo

The person who removed his photo in May is called Szczepan1990  ? I haven't learned how to properly upload photos to Wikimedia Commons yet, otherwise I'd take care of it. I don't understand why the image was removed. eveningscribe 18:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you're reading the history incorrectly; Szczepan1990 has not edited this article. However, there have been several pictures removed, all because they either do not contain proper copyright information or they violate fair use. It is also possible that the image was deleted for these reasons, as well. María (críticame) 19:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation! eveningscribe 18:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questionable sources

Just Jared (justjared.com) is a blog. It is self-published (apparently). This source does not meet WP:BLP#Sources and WP:V#Sources for WP:BLP. Please investigate and decide what to do. If these multiple references to that blog are being used as sources for statements in this biographical article Jude Law, the statements citing this source (multiple ones) will need either more acceptable sources in keeping with WP:BLP#Sources etc. or they will be need to be deleted. Self-published blogs are not generally acceptable as sources in these articles on living persons, even if they are public figures (celebrities). Such articles require reliable and verifiable sources as defined in WP:V#Sources. WP:V is one of Wikipedia's core editing policies, as is WP:BLP. See the links in the talk header and template tags. Thanks. No non-official unauthorized self-published fansites are permissible as sources or as external links in this article: WP:EL. Links to videos posted by people in sites like Youtube and AOL are potential copyright violations (for policies, see WP:Copyvio; Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, etc.); they may be deleted as well. [will be away; these problems still need resolution. See cleanup tag at top of article.] --NYScholar (talk) 00:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I entirely agree re excessive reliance upon a self-published blog for many citations in this article. Here are some other (hopefully better) sources of possible use: [1] [2] [3] [4] Maybe it would now be a good idea to start replacing the blog citations with more reliable ones.

Hi, an editor put a hidden note in the article which asked if the use of the website JustJared.com is allowable in Wikipedia. While this celebrity gossip website is not exactly a NewYorkTimes.com - level source (sarcasm!), it may have the level of editorial oversight required of Wikipedia sources. Random, anonymous users cannot just post stuff on it. But is their a proper editorial board? I don't know. If there is proper editorial oversight, JustJared.com may be an OK source, as long as what they are claiming is factual (e.g., "Jude Law cut the ribbon at a the unveiling of a new AIDS clinic") rather than speculative and gossip-mongering ("Jude Law seen leaving health clinic; is he ill??).Nazamo (talk) 18:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
