hey...i went to the link below that's supposed to be a fansite for America. While i guess it is, it's http://www.bonkablebeauties.com/females/AmericaFerrera/ so my question is...is bonkablebeauties a good site for listing on the wikipedia article?
How is this image allowed in an article about America? It was created to promote a movie, not her in particular. Whereas on the other hand, the headshot was created solely to promote her. -- Zanimum 16:02, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Would the promo pic of America from the Ugly Betty and Betty Suarez pages be ok? -- Witchbaby 04:09, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
It is incredible common to misspell her last name as specified above. Can someone create a redirect from that misspelling to this article? Thx and best. -- 64.230.120.63 22:24, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
in her wikipedia biography it appears that she died january 19, 2007.
how come? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 201.139.79.232 ( talk • contribs).
Someone keeps changing this to indicate Ferrera was not critical of President Bush in her Spirit Awards speech and removing the reference to Zach Braff's expressed displeasure with those comments. I think by downplaying this issue you do 'America' a disservice, negating her specifically expressed opinion and any political sway she might have over her fans. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.232.222.5 ( talk • contribs).
Gotcha, yours was an evidentiary evidence issue. While I think Webster's definition of disparaged - to depreciate by indirect means is applicable, the Zach Braff displeasure issue was from his post-award interview, but its almost irrelevant, and I think it reads a lot better without it. I included her actual comments so the readers will not rely on anyone's POV, but can form their own opinions. Thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.222.5 ( talk • contribs)
The comment about George Bush may be considered notable by some, but her mistake about his term ending in 2008 is clearly there just to demean her words. Honestly... putting in a "reference" that Bush left in 2009 is clearly trying to hard and is therefore non-neutral. 24.185.62.209 ( talk) 20:32, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Someone keeps deleting the section about America's political activism. Being a Democrat is an essential part of who she is. She doesn't hide it and she has quite openly attacked President Bush on camera. Its a disservice to her to keep deleting thees! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.232.217.87 ( talk) 22:37, August 22, 2007 (UTC)
America was in a skit on the Chappelle's Show on the first episode of season two. i think it was back in 2004. I don't know what character she played but if someone does it should be added to the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siwhat ( talk • contribs) 23:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that a commercial was listed in her filmography. Are commercials normally listed as part of an actor's filmography? It seems pretty trivial to me. Cogswobble talk 16:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
The Personal section states "Ferrera is the youngest of six siblings which include one brother and four sisters. Her long-term boyfriend since college...." First of all, there should be a comma after the word "siblings." Secondly, it's stated in an earlier section that her mother raised five girls and a boy, so the sentence in the latter section is redundant and should be removed. Also, it's stated that America is "working on earning her degree," so the relastionship with her boyfriend would not be "since college," because this wording implies she is no longer in college. Whether her college status has actually changed is not the point. College status is irrelevant to her relationship status unless otherwise stated, and it should be removed from the sentence. The simplest correct way to describe her relationship would be to replace the phrase "since college" with an actual date.
first paragraph in personal life reads more like a tabloid than an encyclopedia. Especially the part that mentions a rumor they are engaged. It would suffice to just say he is her boyfriend and they are living together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.166.188.248 ( talk) 02:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
The following sentence in the lead:
She is one of only four actresses to receive an Emmy, Golden Globe, and SAG Award in the same year for the same series.
is a bit confusing given the mention of her role in Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in the previous sentence. Those movies also starred 4 actresses so the mention of "one of only four actresses" in the very next sentence is likely to lead confusion as some may think that the four actresses referenced are her co-stars in the Traveling Pants movies, as opposed to four totally unrelated actresses, i.e., belonging to an exclusive club of 4 actresses as opposed to being the most successful of the 4 co-stars from Traveling Pants movies. So, I suggest that the sentence make the distinction or name the four actresses, or perhaps shift the sentence up or better yet, expand the section putting the sentence away from the Traveling Pants sentence.-- RossF18 ( talk) 19:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
Is Unfair that Only Put His United States Nacionality!!!!! that is why U.S is great!!! by The immigrants and their descendants but it is unfair that only one nationality is mentioned when it is shared by two Loved countries, Thats Why Giussepe Rossi Play for Italia National Team Because He Has Two Nationalities Althougt He Born In U.S, but His love/Loyalty is For Italia!!!!
In the beginning it lists her middle name as Georgine, and then a little ways down says she went by her middle name of "Georgina" in high school. WHich is it? 68.80.193.195 ( talk) 21:59, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
I can't find a reliable citation to this quote: Her co-star, Eric Mabius, has regularly said of her, "She's only 24 and will take over the planet in a few years time!" I would be grateful if anyone could help me out. Thanks. Minima c ( talk) 16:42, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

It is mentioned in the article that she went to university on a scholarship, but that she dropped out one semester short of graduating. Isn't there a substantial penalty on a scholarship receipient who fails to graduate? Q43 ( talk) 19:35, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

So the source provided for her middle name being "Georgine" was a primary source, the California Birth Index. [1]. This is contradicted by Ferrera herself, who states in the archive of the "Gotham Magazine" interview: "So I used my middle name, Georgina." Here's the archive: [2]. The middle name "Georgina" is further backed up by other sources such as archives of her Biography.com article [3], TV Guide [4] and archives of her Yahoo! Movies profile [5] [6]
EDIT: Looking at the Biography.com archives, in 2012, they only gave her middle name as "Georgine", [7], which would back up the primary source (California Birth Index) mentioned above. But in the later 2018 archive, they give both "Georgina" and "Georgine". Still, several other sources seem to back up "Georgina", and Ferrera herself claims that "Georgina" is her middle name. So until other sources can be provided, I'm going to keep it at "Georgina".
