Talk:Harvey Weinstein

Sex offender

He should not be referred to as a sex offender in the opening part of the article. Undue emphasis. 2A00:23C8:9F93:FB01:DAF:79F8:1E09:A314 (talk) 17:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

How is that undue? It's what he's known for as much as his career as a producer. They are inseparable. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:23, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

His conviction was thrown out and he is getting a retrial. Yes. Everyone thinks he did it, but this is possibly in danger of libel. 2600:100A:B03B:7C57:E95B:28C8:E7F:553B (talk) 01:02, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

The CA conviction stands; he's being retried only in NY. HalfSourLizard (talk) 00:54, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

he should be referred to as a sex offender in the first part of the first sentence instead of the second part. It’s the core piece of his identity forevermore. Just because he has good lawyers doesn’t mean we should erase the truth. ~2026-34587-95 (talk) 05:35, 12 June 2026 (UTC)

Weinstein got into a brawl with journalist Andrew Goldman

Andrew Goldman of The New York Observer describes how Harvey Weinstein told him "I'm the sheriff of this s--- ass town," and began fighting with him at a downtown hotel, on the "Infamous" podcast. This happened the night before the 2000 election. ~2026-16720-71 (talk) 23:54, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

Change this: is an American former film producer and convicted sex offender.

To: is a convicted sex offender.

• context* who gives a fuck what he did as a job. Predator first.. ~2026-17891-89 (talk) 07:55, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

 Not done: It says “former film producer and convicted sex offender” because his career explains why he’s notable in the first place, and the conviction is a major part of his biography. If the lead only said “is a convicted sex offender,” it would reduce him entirely to the crime, even though reliable sources also cover his professional career.

• What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):

Under "awards and honors", "Wins are highlighted in pink." should be removed or changed to "rescinded awards are highlighted in red"

• Why it should be changed:

Table has no pink of any kind, and red seems to be the colour used to indicated awards rescinded

• References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):

Birthday

Isn't his birthday 19 March 1952? Even if we can't be certain, the criteria is if reliable sources use this birthdate, then we use it. The goal is for it to be verifiable rather than objectively true. UltraCobson (talk) 17:36, 30 August 2026 (UTC)
