The Sci-Fi Queen?[edit]
The article claims "Weaver acquired the nickname of the Sci-Fi Queen for her numerous contributions to science-fiction film history, ....". Should this be removed? I have found articles claiming this but it's still rather opinionated and disputable.--Ozzyofpi (talk) 20:58, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
- The list of works in that sentence also includes a reference to Finding Dory, which is pretty difficult to consider a science fiction movie. Unless anyone objects, I'm going to remove that title from the list. Webster100 (talk) 06:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
- She has been frequently referenced as such (though, I usually hear it as "the Queen of Sci-Fi") so this reference probably should be rescued from deletion. I just did a google search with "the queen of sci-fi" in quotation marks, and not only does quite a long list of articles from reliable sources pop up (most with both the search term and Weaver's name in the title), but Google also displays an information box of Sigourney Weaver on the side (even though her name was not used in the search) so there is something in Google's algorithm triggering the association. One of those many articles from established news sources should have enough information on the topic to be used as a citation. — al-Shimoni (talk) 21:12, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

New lead image proposal[edit]
I think we should change the lead image to this. It’s more recent, it looks less odd, and it’s a looser crop, which is preferred for bios. Thoughts? The Image Editor (talk) 17:15, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
Mistake[edit]
Under personal info, it says: In 2009, Scorsese signed a petition in support of director Roman Polanski, who had been detained while traveling to a film festival in relation to his 1977 sexual abuse charges, which the petition argued would undermine the tradition of film festivals as a place for works to be shown "freely and safely", and that arresting filmmakers traveling to neutral countries could open the door "for actions of which no-one can know the effects."[73][74] 184.147.127.220 (talk) 23:35, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing that out, taken care of. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 23:39, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Comment about child in personal info[edit]
Her child is described as non-binary. This has nothing to do with the subject of the article and is not in keeping with the NPOV guidelines. I will edit unless there is consensus against. Wiki does not note other notables' children by their binary status without good reason.Mwinog2777 (talk) 19:13, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
