Juliet Landau gets "rolled" by WP Options

[EricBarbour]

I'm talking about this, of course.

She had to send her birth certificate to the WMF, just to stop this inane three-year-long squabble.
Yet the moronic editwar continued thereafter.

(Of course, you realize this shit happens for only one reason: Ms. Landau was on two TV shows
that Wiki-twidders obsess over, Buffy and Angel...... (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/hrmph.gif) )

Except there is no logical way that that is Landau. Instead, the situation is that we're dealing with an unidentified woman who is stated to be an actress and is suing IMDB for revealing her real age. We know Landau is an actress and we know that she is currently very active in trying to keep her real age a secret and we also know that IMDB is showing her real age.

There are a number of connections that make it a significant possibility that it was her, which is why I asked about Texas, because that was the unknown factor. The answer was no about Texas and another user found other information that lessened the likelihood of it being her.

Perhaps your understanding of "logical" is different from mine.

The mother of Hugh Grant's child is a woman. Landau is a woman. The unknown woman is fertile. Given her age, Landau has undergone puberty but likely has not yet entered menopause. Hugh Grant is an actor. Landau is an actor and thus likely to move in the same circles as Grant. The dateline of the Reuters article was Los Angeles. According to IMDB, Landau lives in Los Angeles.

Feel free to tell me why Landau could not be the woman is question.

Because there has been no indication that she is romantically involved with anyone. In terms of the article, there is significant indication that she is currently trying to cover up her age. So events involving unknown actresses in regards to covering up ages are plausible, in order to keep an eye on them.

As for your hypothetical Hugh Grant's child scenario, there would be indications that Landau has been pregnant. If she had given birth to a child of an unknown actor, it would be reasonable to hypothesize that Hugh Grant was that actor. Of course, in that sort of scenario, it would be much more high profile and newspapers themselves would have already made that sort of speculation long before any of us.

And pointing out to users on the talk page that they should keep an eye out for reliable sources in regards to that situation with more information, since it is possible Landau is involved, is perfectly fine to do.

There is no "significant indication that she is currently trying to cover up her age". We don't know who is trying to get the birth date changed, only that someone allegedly sent her birth certificate to the OTRS email. As has been pointed out already, shaving years of one's age is hardly unique in her profession. In any case, you seem to be reacting to those efforts.

You think my ridiculous speculation is wrong because something would have happened and it hasn't. Is that what "logical" means? Don't waste any more of your brainpower on this example, I'm already having a discussion with Ottava in another thread.

You jumped on something that Gomi posted (perhaps seriously, perhaps not) and, without even bothering to check it out, put some completely half-assed speculation on one of the world's most visited websites. You appear to be acting out of some form of personal malice of the common Wikipedia variety (see here for another great example).
