Talk:Gal Gadot

'Controversy'

"At 20, Gadot was conscripted to the Israel Defense Forces as a combat fitness instructor as part of her mandatory two years of military service. This has attracted controversy due to the IDF's historical mistreatment of Palestinians and the ongoing campaign in Gaza which has left tens of thousands of civilians dead."

This could be written better - her mandatory service has not attracted controversy, but her comments about wishing for peace between two neighbours. She made this statement in 2021 so to mention the current war with Hamas seems unnecessary. 59.153.131.102 (talk) 05:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

The writer also seems to be using this article as a coatrack to express criticism of the IDF and the Israeli military campaign in Gaza (whether or not valid). General Ization ^Talk 05:32, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Removed. General Ization ^Talk 18:35, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Her last name?

There's no article that mentions she took her husband's last name. Since this information is unverified, why not remove it? I was about to, but I thought it might be controversial, so I decided to bring it up here. Lililolol (talk) 03:49, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Image

So, 2016 is ugly, so I changed it to 2017 because it's way clearer and shows her face while she looks directly at the camera with nice lighting, in comparison to most of her 2013-2016, 2018-2023 images, which have either a bad angle or bad lighting. So, what do yall think?

Some of my suggestions are from 2019; because, it just better in terms of lighting and it shows her face. Others could be..

A (But it could be a duplicate because it is on her filmography page idk)

B the current one

C (the one that I removed)

Also yall can check her images here: Category:Gal Gadot by year Lililolol (talk) 18:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

I was thinking of uploading her Maxim photoshoot for 'Women in the Israel Defense Forces,' but I'm not sure because it's a non-free image. I believe it could be allowed since it would increase readers' interest in the article, (WP:NFCCP) but I'm not certain. What do yall think? Lililolol (talk) 21:22, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Hot take, but is she really big enough to have her own filmography page? Other actors in similar cases (notable for a superhero role) don’t have separate filmography pages. Sure, she’s been in a some "lackluster" Netflix movies, but that still doesn’t seem enough for a spin-off article (WP:SPLIT/WP:SAL). Just my opinion, merging makes more sense Lililolol (talk) 19:35, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

If it’s not merged, will the "Awards and Nominations" section be included in the Filmography page? Lililolol (talk) 19:47, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

"Awards and Nominations" section should remain where is. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 05:47, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

@Quaerens-veritatem Apart from DC, she's not that significant yet, so it might make more sense to merge her filmography until she gets more lead roles that solidify her as a stand-alone actress Lililolol (talk) 22:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

OK merge Filmography. Makes sense to me. Of course, "Awards and Nominations" section would remain where it is. Quaerens-veritatem (talk) 01:28, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

WP:ROLEBIO

WP:ROLEBIO states that only primary occupations should be mentioned in the opening para. Is modeling her primary occupation, Lililolol? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:17, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Modeling? I’m not sure. She’s still modeling here and there. Plus modeling is what launched her career @Krimuk2.0 Lililolol (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

Also what is a "spoon-feeding"? Lililolol (talk) 19:13, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

"Here and there" and "launched" is not what primary career means. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:12, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

K, what a "spoon-feeding" mean? Lililolol (talk) 06:21, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Google it, k? Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:24, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

K why? Lol Lililolol (talk) 06:37, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Your problematic attitude is best suited for social media and not an encyclopedia. Please contribute there instead of wasting our time. TYSM. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:39, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

@Krimuk2.0 I'm not sure, but when I searched "Is Gal Gadot a model?" I came across multiple sources, some of which referred to her as an Israeli actress and model. Plus, Israeli Forbes ranked her among the highest-paid models in Israel in 2012-2013 (this is mentioned in her personal section, though I was considering moving it to the career section)

Some are here

• Times of Israel, here
• Parade magazine, here
• i24NEWS, here and here
• collider here
• The Forward here

So idk, what do we think? Lililolol (talk) 23:31, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

Again, what she did prior to her acting career in 2012-2013 is not her primary profession. Also, cherry-picking some sources that incidentally mention her modelling (most of them from before she became an actress) is exactly what ROLEBIO tells us not to do. WP:CIR issues here. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 05:48, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

@Krimuk2.0 Well, that's true, but I would clarify something: I wasn't cherry-picking. I tried to pick sources from different time frames, such as Parade magazine, which was released a few weeks ago, and the rest are from 2015 onward, after she gained attention for Wonder Woman. So where's the cherry-picking? Lililolol (talk) 20:16, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
