Talk:Jennifer Larmore

Untitled

This reads like the bio sheet from her agent. Rick lightburn (talk) 17:15, 11 November 2011 (UTC) Because it is in fact nearly identical to the biography on www.jenniferlarmore.com!!! Rick lightburn (talk) 17:22, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

Recent edits

I have drastically edited this article to remove huge amounts of unformatted material pasted in virtually verbatim from http://imgartists.com/artist/jennifer_larmore plus assorted puffery and name-dropping. The article still needs extensive referencing. To editors here who have any affiliation whatsoever to Jennifer Larmore (either personal or professional), please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Autobiography for guidance when editing under these circumstances and follow it scrupulously. In future bear the following in mind:

1. Wikipedia is not a newsletter or bulletin board. Avoid terms like "now", "soon", "currently" and "recently" which make the article both imprecise, and in many instances, quickly inaccurate. Instead, use expressions such as "as of 2013".

2. This is an encyclopedia article, not an alternative web site for Ms. Larmore. All additions must be referenced to reliable independent sources. Future performances are inappropriate. Performances should be added once they have actually taken place and an independent reference for them can be provided.

3. All additions must be neutrally worded and use encyclopedic tone and style. Any additions which can be perceived by a neutral reader as hype or PR will be removed. See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms for guidance.

4. Do not paste in text from your or anyone else's official websites, blogs etc. Apart from the almost invariably unsuitable promotional style, it is a copyright violation unless the sites explicitly display a free license.

5. Do not add links to the external web sites of your collaborators unless they contain a specific page which is needed to explicitly corroborate a fact in the article. In those cases, they need to go as a footnote reference not as an inline external link. The link in the footnote should go directly to that page, not simply to the front page of web site.

6. Once you have written an article on Wikipedia, you no longer own it. It will always have to conform to Wikipedia's policies on content, style and formatting – not to the subject's desired image or marketing goals.

On a personal note to the editor(s) who have been adding this inappropriate material, I have long experience dealing with opera singer articles on Wikipedia which have been written or extensively edited by either the subject of their agents. Trust me, this is a notable and distinguished opera singer, and the kind of PR hype that had been placed in this article actually detracts from the subject's image rather than enhancing it.

Unreferenced "timeline"

The following completely unformatted and unreferenced "Statistics" list has been removed from the article. I'm placing here for use by future editors who may wish to use the material properly formatted to expand the biography. All material added to the article from this list must be supported by inline citations to reliable sources which are independent of the subject.
