This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 5 times. The weeks in which this happened: |
I removed the Sexual assault on Hilarie Burton section but was reverted by The lorax. I removed the section for two reasons: 1.) WP:UNDUE and 2.) because it was sourced to People.com. Now, I understand there numerous reliable sources popping up covering the incident but does it warrant inclusion on the BLP, let alone its own subsection? Let's discuss. Meatsgains ( talk) 15:19, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
Information belongs on page. I even adjusted mistakes the other user made. The video showing the incident is even sourced as well. JoetheMoe25 ( talk) 15:23, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
Why does the article mention Burton's incident but not Anne-Marie Losique's? It can mention she commented it was consensual, but it was still in the news. [1] [2] [3] - 85.250.83.116 ( talk) 09:32, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Wow. Imagine my surprise to see that a man who admitted to sexual misconduct and was questioned about it on Colbert yesterday, was listed as the featured article. Even more surprising was that when I clicked on the article, there was no mention of the allegations against him and any references to the controversy had been scrubbed. Frankly, I've read the discussion above and I don't follow the rationale that because the allegations surrounding Affleck were revealed during the discussion of Harvey Weinstein, they shouldn't be included in the former's article. They exist, have been covered in dozens of reliable third-party sources, and should have been added before the article was featured. I'm at work right now so I can't make the edits myself until later, but it seems to me that there was a breakdown in the WP FA process somewhere. Affleck's article is very clearly incomplete and should have been removed from the FA queue when these allegations were made public.

Under the Personal Life of Ben Affleck, the "TRL Incident" should be changed to "Sexual Assault Allegations" because there is more than one accusation.
This should be added under that section:
A makeup artist, Annamarie Tendler, came forward alleging Affleck grabbed her butt at a party after the
71st Golden Globe Awards.

Ben Affleck's relationship with his nanny Christine Ouzounian is not present in the article under the relationships header, despite being a major scandal at the time. While it was not the cause for their divorce, Jennifer Garner has since acknowledged that the incident occurred and how it affected her children to no longer have their nanny [1].

change hyperlinks attached to references to Bernie from the hockey player Bernie Saunders to the politician Bernie Sanders, under Ben Affleck's political views. I assume Ben Affleck was talking about the politician, given the context of course 90.252.100.66 ( talk) 22:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)
Mr. Affleck's ancestry contains the following sentence
While it is totally correct and absolutely proven that Mr. Affleck's maternal great-great grandfather is a man who emigrated from Prussia to the US anytime before 1850 with the -at least partly- anglicized name, Henry Boldt, it is not proven at all, that this "Henry Boldt" is identical with the said-to-be "Henry Boldt / Heinrich Boldt" who "accidentally discovered the Curmsun Disc". -- BorEliz20 ( talk) 13:21, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
I'm afraid to say, but both sources cited for the statement in question above are quite far from being considered reliable when it comes to the circumstances about how the Curmsun Disc was discovered in the 1840s. For years already the story is told in -to some extent- frequently changing variations without providing any reliable, profound, original sources to prove it. -- BorEliz20 ( talk) 15:53, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
The deleted / removed sentence
is back! And I really wonder why that is the case since the new provided source, a just published book titled "The Viking King's Golden Treasure" does NOT provide any profound evidence for this statement. BorEliz20 ( talk) 12:24, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
The section Early Life contains the following sentence:
....His mother, Christopher Anne "Chris" Boldt,[6] was a Harvard-educated elementary school teacher.....
The first given name of Mr. Affleck's mother is NOT: Christopher - that's a male given name only.
Instead her first given name is: Christine (shortened form: Chris)
Full name: Christine Anne Boldt Affleck

I am aware that in the intro it says he appeared in Batman v. Superman and Justice League but shouldn't we say that he's played the superhero Batman in the lead? Also shouldn't we also add the Snyder Cut into the lead since he did shot additional footage for the film and The Flash? His involvement in the Flash also goes unnoticed in the career section about his Batman role. -- TDKR Chicago 101 ( talk) 04:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)

Change the current image of Ben Affleck at SDCC 2017 to his latest appearance at The Tender Bar premiere in late 2021. I think it would be best to update the image as during that time he was suffering from alcoholism and divorce.
Is it possible someone could update Ben Affleck's profile image to a newer image that looks more like him now? Preferably from 2021 or 2022. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Selfstyled.classics ( talk • contribs) 13:02, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Seeing how Affleck will appear as Batman in two other films next year wouldn't it be more appropriate to rewrite "...played the superhero Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) and Justice League (2017)" to "...and has played the superhero Batman in the DC Extended Universe since 2016, first appearing in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
