How many people are going to search for Michelle INGRID Williams? I know I wouldn't. Mike H 17:28, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)

Then you can fix the pages now redirected. PedanticallySpeaking 17:56, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

Michelle's birthdate was 1979 but it's not 1980.

Wouldn't SHE be considered an actress, vice actor?

Had it been up to be, I would have titled the page "actress". But the word "actor" is often used to encompass both sexes. PedanticallySpeaking 16:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Somone needs to provide a date or at least a link to the Howard Stern incident. The word recently won't work after a couple of weeks. --72.226.224.251 06:37, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Broken Link?

The third link in the references no longer works. Foolingmachine 10:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cutting ties with Heath Ledger

There should not be anything on this page that speaks out in a libellous nature against Michelle Williams in regards to the death of Heath Ledger. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sholt8 (talk • contribs) 22:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Why is Ledger's death relevant to Williams' page? 208.1.120.200 (talk) 22:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Because they were together for 3 years and he is the father if her child. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.149.105.54 (talk) 23:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm still not sure why his *death* needs to be mentioned on this page - If John McEnroe is killed in a car crash tomorrow would "McEnroe was killed in a car crash on [insert date here]" on Tatum O'neil's entry? In addition, I agree with the first poster - the placement of the statement about Ledger's death is treading a fine line between extra information and inference that the death was somehow related to the breakup.70.189.213.149 (talk) 02:56, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

"On September 4, 2007, Williams' father confirmed to Sydney Daily Telegraph that Ledger and Williams had indeed split.[6] Ledger was subsequently found dead in a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008[7]."

The last sentence could be better worded so as not to imply that the split led to Ledger's death. --WTStoffs (talk) 02:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

It's relevant because Ledger died so soon after their split, and that has some affect on her life. I think people seeking information on Williams in the future will find it useful to know that the father of her child died four months after they broke up. It's a relative issue; it doesn't apply in every case, but I think it does here. 140.247.250.223 (talk) 04:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

For some guidance, see the "domestic partner" parameter definition in Template:Infobox actor, the talk page of that template, with the link to WP:BLP#Well known public figures and the related links to policies for editing biographies of living persons such as Williams; espec. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and WP:V#Sources. See also Heath Ledger (family and personal life section and later secs.) for relevance to Williams and pertinent sections of Talk:Heath Ledger (including the talk archive). Thanks. --NYScholar (talk) 01:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
