[edit] Feynman Number?

The article says she has a Feynman number of 2. What is that supposed to mean and how is it trivia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sbrobin (talk • contribs)

By analogy with Erdős numbers, I guess it means that there exists some person who has worked (on different projects) with both Sally Field and Richard Feynman. What could be more trivial? —Tamfang 01:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ostoeporosis.

I removed the following text from the article, as it was unsourced:

In 2005, Field was diagnosed with osteoporosis. Her diagnosis led her to create the "Rally With Sally For Bone Health" campaign with support from Roche and GlaxoSmithKline that co-promote Boniva, a treatment for osteoporosis.

Can someone help find any sources for this? Thanks. Acalamari 22:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

If Sally Field "created" a charity/awareness campaign in 2005 I don't think it necessarily lives up to WP:Notability. It is better left out! TinyMark 11:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Emmy Speech.

I would STRONGLY suggest somebody lock this article until the hub-bub around Sally Field's Emmy Speech calms down. I'm not expressing an opinion either way, other than it is likely this article may suffer vandalism in the next few days from either opinion's camp. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.114.135.26 (talk) 03:28, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.123.242.183 (talk) 22:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

It is notable that she said the speech. It is also notable that she is wrong as mother leaders have fought wars. WP cannot tell lies. It must be fair. Cam809 18:35, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I've rewritten the section, as it was an incoherent train wreck at this point. It is hard to find good sources on this. Most sources didn't include the full quote or any detail. • I did find the YouTube video, but this guideline leads me to conclude it should not be considered a reliable source, and WP:YOUTUBE says copyvio videos are a no-no (and any YouTube video of a TV broadcast is going to be copyvio). Presumably, if someone wants to watch the video on YouTube, they can search for it themselves, like I did. • To Cam809: On Wikipedia, we do not make "right" or "wrong" determinations, per WP:NOR. Per WP:V, verifiability is the criteria, not truth. —DragonHawk (talk|hist) 01:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

When is someone going to write about, "you like me...you really like me...." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.97.185.35 (talk) 00:39, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
