== Ex-boyfriends in infox ==

{{ping|Sundayclose}} Her relationships with Dave Pirner or Matt Damon are notable enough to be included in the article in the "Personal life" section, however the "partner" infobox parameter is for significant life partners only. The sources in the article only state that Pirner is an ex-boyfriend she previously lived with (no timeline even given) and that she dated Damon for two years. There is no source indicating that she did more than date either of them. [[User:Abbyjjjj96|Abbyjjjj96]] ([[User talk:Abbyjjjj96|talk]]) 20:11, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

Winona Ryder did not graduate from Petaluma High School with a 4.0 GPA

This false claim comes from Winona Ryder herself. She dropped out of PHS I believe in her sophomore year if I recall correctly to focus on her acting career. I was one of her classmates. If you can make an account on this site, you can view the full list of 1989 graduates as published in the local newspaper the Argus-Courier. Or search in the box for "Horowitz" and you will find she is not listed.: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/235200481/

If you review honor roll lists published in the same newspaper in the previous years, you will find she is not listed either. Hence, not only is her graduation claim false, but her claims of having a 4.0 GPA are also. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.45.28.224 (talk) 23:09, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ryder's claim needs to be verified by multiple sources. The Argus-Courier's list of 1989 graduates could be inaccurate, and may have misspelled her birth name. Also, this list may not account for early graduates or GED recipients, who often do not participate in graduation ceremonies. PHS yearbooks or an official school district record might be useful in verifying her high school graduation. Msoul13 (talk) 16:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 14 September 2018

She did not marry Keanu Reeves. If you read the sources it's easy to see that this is a gross misrepresentation of the sources and a violation of WP:BLP. The sources are based on a lot of unfounded speculation. I suggest completely removing that paragraph. At the very least it should be reworded to properly reflect what's in the sources. Thanks. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 20:25, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

RfC: "Marriage" to Keanu Reeves

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.


Should the paragraph stating that she married Keanu Reeves be removed, modified, or unchanged? The sources are based on far-fetched speculation and a violation of WP:BLP. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 20:46, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Remove - So they used a real priest to film a wedding for a movie and there are claims that this makes it a legal marriage. Maybe an interesting fact for the article on the movie, but WP:undue and unnecessary for a bio article. AIRcorn (talk) 17:21, 16 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Modified - According to the sources cited on the Wikipedia page, Ryder "mused" about the wedding scene. So, this paragraph could be modified to "Ryder speculated that she was married to Keanu Reeves," or "Ryder quipped that she was married to Keanu Reeves," etc. Also, according to the same cited sources, Francis Ford Coppola stated that Ryder and Reeves were married "in a sense." It can be inferred that the wedding ceremony was authentic to the traditions of the Greek Orthodox religion, but if no paperwork (sacred and/or civil) was completed, then the marriage cannot be considered legally-binding. This part of the paragraph could be modified to "the wedding ceremony was conducted in a genuine manner. However, it is not clear whether the wedding was legally-binding," etc. Msoul13 (talk) 15:18, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I don't think Coppola can be considered an expert on the legality of marriages in Romania or the authenticity of anything in the Greek Orthodox Church. Just like Ryder, his comments are speculative. It makes for good sensationalistic news, but that's not appropriate for an encyclopedia that requires reliable sources. We can quote or closely paraphrase their comments, but we can't conclude that anything was done "in genuine manner." If any part of this issue remains in the article, it should be minimal, per WP:UNDUE. 173.209.178.244 (talk) 21:27, 17 September 2018 (UTC) (Full disclosure: I am the same as 75.182.115.183, editing from a different IP.)[reply]
Comment - Taking the above comment into consideration, the statements regarding Coppola could be modified as follows: "Director Francis Ford Coppola remarked that the ceremony was 'pretty authentic,' adding that Ryder and Reeves were married 'in a sense' because a priest led the ceremony. However, it is not clear from Coppola’s remarks whether the wedding was legally-binding." Msoul13 (talk) 16:20, 18 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, my suggestion above about modification of the paragraph is not an endorsement of the idea of modification. I am opposed to leaving anything about this issue in the article. I also agree with Aircorn above that it might be an interesting fact for the film article, but not the bio articles. 75.182.115.183 (talk) 01:14, 19 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Marriage" to Keanu Reeves still listed

Since consensus was established to remove the mention of her marriage to Keanu Reeves, effective as of October 2018, the information is still listed 9 months later. I don't want to appear to be "stepping on toes", but isn't this going to be removed on their respective profiles? Tytrox (talk) 00:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for noticing. It was removed by the closing admin at the time, but no-one noticed when it was re-added a few months later. I have removed it again. --Meters (talk) 03:33, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
