[edit] improve this page by 2 things

Hi ... I think that this page could be much improved with two things.
1--footnotes/citations. there are none. and this reads a bit as a sales piece, so with some footnotes we could improve it.
2--can someone put up a picture of her? tx.--Epeefleche 02:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article contradiction

At the top, the article states that "Rashida" is Arabic for "wise". Near the bottom, it states that "Rashida" is Arabic for "righteous". If it can mean both, I think it should be clarified in one spot and then the reference removed in the other. 134.84.103.24 04:00, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] open letter to tupac

does anyone know where to find the open letter she wrote to tupac?

It was published in the Letters To The Editor section of Vibe Magazine. I believe this would have been in the early 1990's.

i assume there is no online version posted on the net anywhere?

I only place where I could locate the letter was on the DVD: Tupac Shakur - Thug Angel (The Life of an Outlaw). So I transcribed it and added it to the article. -Damanplusi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Damanplusi (talk • contribs) 17:44, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] she is currently dating seth meyer

Yeah they did, she's dating her The Office co-star John Krasinski.BaracudaAgent 10:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category question

Should she be in Category:Converts to Hinduism?--T. Anthony 06:02, 3 December 2006 (UTC) No, she is a practicing Jew. According to American Jewish Life Magazine http://www.ajlmagazine.com/content/012007/rashidajones.html Adipatus 06:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)Adipatus

[edit] Two Appearances on Chappelle Show

Rashida Jones played a character on an episode of Chappelle's Show, in which she was asked by Dave Chappelle to sign the "Love Contract," and later, the "Confidentiality Agreement."

As I recall she played at least two characters. The other was in a fake commercial for what I think was a feminine hygiene product.
--->[edit]There are two listings for Chappelle's Show under "TV guest appearances" but not from "Career" (what I quoted above).65.73.75.121 09:48, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] african american?

Jones' father is of Cherokee, West African and Welsh ancestry, and her mother is Jewish. How this puts her in African american category? Luka Jačov 21:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

The first half of your comment pretty much answers the second half. But it is a somewhat dubious aspect of U.S. culture that a person's African ancestry is generally given more importance than the rest of his/her background. Jewishness, too, to a somewhat lesser degree. Cranston Lamont 20:40, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Jewish is a religion not a nationality or ethnicity. Her momma Peggy is an American born to a Russian father and Irish mother. Both of her parents practised Judaism. Peggy Lipton's mom is descended from Eastern European immigrants. 70.108.126.66 (talk) 06:52, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Yikes, you might be overlinking yourself. :) Anyway, the term "Jewish" does not only apply to religious beliefs - check the article that you yourself linked to. --DearPrudence (talk) 06:25, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The fair use rationale only covers its use for the Karen Filippelli article, i.e. to depict a fictional character. It would be far better to use an image that is not copyrighted. María (habla conmigo) 13:05, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Until some 1 adds something is is better 2 have that than nada @ all.
...70.108.126.66 (talk) 19:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

That is not what the Image use policy states. Please stop adding it to the article and reverting to an inferior edit. The format follows MOS and references are correctly cited now. Also, the Mark Ronson information needs a reliable source; a fansite does not count. María (habla conmigo) 20:04, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] plagiarism

Some of the biographical information (e.g., letter to Tupac) has been copied directly from the referenced external article and should be paraphrased. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.173.30.192 (talk) 02:22, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] writer?

She's not a writer, whoever added that bit to her bio. She wrote a couple of pages in her entire life. Excuse me, Rashida. Gregorik (talk) 13:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
