editThanks! I was well pleased. The nomination review wasn't really such a bad experience - just a few hours over two weeks from creation to promotion!! It was a feat! Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:38, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
WP Crime/Criminal
editSomeone (not sure who he is or why it is important to him) wants the WP:Crime project to combine its project banners into one (we use {{WP Crime}} and {{WP Criminal}}) and I've explained why it seems to be important to have separate ones. Would you look at the talk at Template talk:WP Criminal and give an opinion. My view on it is there. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not sure why the guy is so concerned about it, but apparently he's decided the project shouldn't have two banners. I brought up the problem that the "listas" parameter isn't working correctly and was trying to get that fixed, so I suppose that's what has led to this. It's like I said, the project has two things it focuses on. One is the broader subject of crime and the others are criminals. I think the two banners are useful, the only part of the project I ever work on are the biographies. If WP Criminal was a sub-project like serial killers, it wouldn't be an issue, but the projects aren't that big and wouldn't be worthwhile in separating. Not like WPFilm and WP Actors was.
- When you look at the template code that gets pasted in, it either says WP Crime or WP Criminal. While it is true that almost all biographies are about someone who is a criminal, there are a few whom you can't call that, either yet or ever. Think OJ before the kidnapping and robbery conviction, Lillo Brancato before he was convicted or Bernard Madoff, who has been charged but not convicted. These people are of interest to the crime project but it would be a probable WP:BLP violation to slap criminal in the banner. I'd like to see the words "criminal biography" removed from the {{WP Crime}} banner altogether and keep both. There are some biographies of dead persons, like some of the old west outlaws that weren't convicted either, or now that I think about it Lee Harvey Oswald or John Wilkes Booth who committed high profile crimes but were never tried, but would have been if they hadn't been gunned down. I'd probably not look at this quite as critically if I hadn't just dealt with the crime/criminal issue with Madoff. I don't believe that a single banner can be created that would toggle between general crime and criminal biography that wouldn't be far more difficult to maintain and still adhere to WP:BLP. What would it be, ensuring that the biography=yes gets used? Anyway, that's the issue. Does that help? Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for weighing in. I moved the above explanation and a comment left on the project talk page by Momoricks over to that page. I think we're all on the same page (well, you, me, Rossrs and Momo). I'm trying to fix up Meryl Streep tonight. It's a chore and at the moment, it is -14F here. Wind chill makes it about -38F. It's a little chilly tonight, the house is making noises I have never heard before. But... I have on a flannel nightgown, a light robe and a heavy robe, a pair of sweatpants, and wool socks. Ain't that sexy? Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Trendy on the fringe
editSee, this is what happens when you watchlist fringe people!! Oh. nevermind. Several things come to mind. Yes, it's a lot like the Shinas page. Where would this person get a copy of Bobby Trendy's school records, and again, how would he have the legal right to release or reference them? We'll not mention OTRS on this one. Personally? I think he's a lot older than 30. He wasn't just 22 or so when he started on Anna Nicole, there's no way. And they are right in that his management/whatever could have submitted false information to IMDB. I couldn't stomach the guy, personally. What an opportunist!! As for the birthdate, just remove it. It's curious the same person came up with two different supposed birth names - first Raymond Trinh and then Gnock Yu Gaang Muro Tranh? I'm not so sure I'd let those name manipulations stand without a source, though. The new user is an interesting development. I'd suggest waiting to see what else develops and consider a sock report only then. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:23, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
Re: Kimmie Poo
editOh honey, I'd AfD that gem in a heartbeat. I remember Kimmie, she had no personality and was basically madly in love with Anna. Then she was gone. She's not notable and the two sources are blogspot!!! Do IIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well, look at this way. It hadn't been edited once in 10 1/2 months, until you tagged it last night. I doubt if anyone would even notice. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:54, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
New help page
editI discovered that I was growing tired of looking up individual awards pages for inclusion in filmographies, so I took some time and made this. If it is useful to you, feel free to link to it and use it when you need to. How's stuff?? Wildhartlivie (talk) 11:43, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
- A break is always a good thing, but beware getting sucked into the gaming world!! It will eat your soul, I've heard. :) Glad this can help. It's frigging COLD here! Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:04, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh yeah. There's a discussion here that you might have an opinion on. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- I responded. Was I being disruptive with my response? Ah well. Wildhartlivie (talk) 10:29, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Oh Good
editBefore I delve into this much deeper, do you remember some woman who was banned not long ago who wrote and edited a lot of articles with a very strong black bias? I cannot remember her username, but this sounds a lot like the rants she would write, and if memory serves, she didn't sign her comments all the time either. Together with this incident and the new account/familiarity with WP, I'm betting this is her. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes! That's the one. I never had personal interaction with her, but I read plenty of talk page commentary. I think we weighed in on the deletion nomination of it. Maybe I can find it from my contribution history. If it is that person, and she's banned, then the whole conversation is moot and a checkuser might solve the problem. Reverse racism, eh? Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:01, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
- Ack, never mind. I found her, and while she gets the occasional block, she's not banned and edited yesterday. Seemed very similar though. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
I've commented. I think sometimes people see what they expect to see, whether it's racism or whatever. I think it was a good idea to use Good's own words. It's not our job to interpret them or check her family history to see what percentage of each ethnic group she represents. Rossrs (talk) 08:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
You're quite welcome. I was annoyed at the whole thing. I apparently have not been keeping up with news, what about Stormfront threatening to infiltrate Wikipedia and the whole CAMERA drama? I've been asleep... Wildhartlivie (talk) 09:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome from me too. I agree - it should have been a minor issue. Assuming good faith here, that this is a new editor. I've noticed very negative comments made in the talk pages of various articles about what should be done to fix a point. I replied to one that, as this is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit, they could more quickly edit it themselves, rather than demand someone else do it - and I received a bucketful of abuse as a reply. Sometimes you have to wonder. :-) Rossrs (talk) 10:45, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Meagan Good
editI'm really surprised by this person. It's been a while that her article has been attacked like this. I'm still not fully sure what's this person's full agenda.Mcelite (talk) 04:48, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Category:Fictional Jewish People
editYou don’t think that that there should be a category for this? There are categories for plenty of other ethnicities? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.255.79.244 (talk) 07:34, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
- I would start a category, but I can't unless I get a screen name. But I won't do that. I'm relying on someone that else to do that.71.255.79.244 (talk) 07:38, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Talkback
editYou can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Would you mind looking at the edits over the last couple of days, the talk page note I left, and just for shits and giggles, what finally pissed me off. There has been a lot of effort put into this article since October, this editor shows up Thursday night and suddenly, it's hateful. The editor did not work on this article prior to Thursday and just seems to be supporting the changes made by one other editor - changes that frankly, sucked.

John Oxendine Article
editHello,
You offered to help me with bringing the John Oxendine page into a good biography page a while back. I am going to spend some time trying to create a page the adheres to the Wiki guidelines and will serve as a good source of information to people.
If you have suggestions for me or see a way I could do things better, please let me know.
I look forward to working with you, Dokimazzo (talk) 20:24, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Great job with the improvements to this article! Nice work! --Oakshade (talk) 06:44, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the earlier vandal-catch. The little darling did it again, very subtle this time. Have reverted; but how about a ban? For all the good it'll do? Is it third strike & out, automatically? I ask in hope, being rather new in these parts. Regards Haploidavey (talk) 01:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Heh
editI was going to ask who you pissed off, then I realized it doesn't matter. Sometimes we just attract them. I'm still dealing with Tina Turner, but it's dying off. Sheesh. There's a sock involved there, I do believe. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:46, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
- We talked about taking it to one of the boards, mostly because it spread to Michael Jackson and others. Apparently owning the rights to Northern Music isn't a business, despite the fact it was his own personal investment and makes him multiple millions of dollars a year.

- was just checking how I managed to get so lost (I obviously did) and realised that what I thought was part of your message was stuff some sockpuppet left as an unsigned comment.

Mae West
editSince you did work on the article and was involved in some of the discussion regarding it, I thought I'd call your attention to the new talk page content opened today, at Talk:Mae West#Notable person should or should not be named in photo caption? and Talk:Mae West#Too many source tags in the text?, if you'd care to look. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 22:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
The Way West
editThe sock thing wasn't the least of it. Look at the present talk page, and then look here at what Durova removed. The wording isn't clever enough to disguise the fact that the Emil rant has returned. Does he think that identical IPs except for the last grouping of numbers is fooling anyone?? Then take a little gander at Wikipedia:ANI#Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations.2FEmilEikS. Good heavens. This is a case of giving someone enough rope to hang himself. I told someone else who was involved in another issue that sometimes the best thing to do is just let the person talk long enough to reveal themselves. But gods, there was some hate in those last posts. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:52, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- And did you notice that he pulled out that crap from when momo and I were talking about some movie (maybe The Texas Chainsaw Massacre)? Emil baby said "Her talk page, and the talk pages of others she writes to, are chock full of the most disgusting sarcasm, cruelty, nastiness and vulgarity - like calling one film she doesn't like a "stinking pile of poop"." Now I'm the one who called it that, despite the fact that it was momo who said that and my response was "Well, steaming pile of poo is one description. Another might be a seminal horror/slasher film that opened the door to a plethora of even worse slasher films. It was fairly scary, but unfortunately, deteriorated into contrived storylines in sequels. I'd liken it in impact to Psycho, Night of the Living Dead and perhaps the original Halloween." There is such hateful vehemence in what he is writing. Like I said, the hate just eminates from it. And ALL the people who have commented on various pages are my friends and I vote with them?? Even Kingturtle, who has done his utmost to remain impartial - he's my friend who made the suggestion to put a black bar across Lars Jacobs' face in the image. I laughed when I read that suggestion, but in no way would I characterize him as one of my Wiki buddies. I think that must come from pretending to be so many different people - if you are operating socks, then you see duplicity wherever you look. It's depressing. Oh! Oh! And I've never started an article myself. I guess writing and taking an article to featured status in less than two weeks doesn't count?? Or the articles for many lesser known actors that I've started. How the hell would he know?? This all just annoys me so much because anyone who is familiar with IP number assignment knows that when four or five IPs, all of which are identical except the numbers in the last section are from the same place. Sheesh. I'm sorry to vent. No, I'm not. I didn't get to respond to the hate-filled diatribe that he posted last on the West talk page. Durova removed it, thanks be to her. Wildhartlivie (talk) 02:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
- Oh darlin', I know they always come back. As a matter of fact, Dooyar is back and lurking. This time though, she's not really denying it, now she says as long as she isn't editing articles, she can do what she likes. Someone told her emphatically that was wrong. She doesn't seem to have the level of vehemence of Emil, though. What gets me is that these people seem to think we're stupid. Sure, they can remain anonymous, but the IP numbers give them away. And yes, I've added a number of images to the commons. But you know, I just exist to control articles that I want. Ack!!!
- Hey, do you watch American Idol? I haven't much in the past, but this time, there is a guy who I followed on YouTube for quite a while.

WP:FILMS Coordinator nominations
editJust a note
editI saw a page you edited and wanted to let you know this. When you add Find A Grave, use the format {{findagrave|5456}}. I found out this past week that when you put the "id=" in front of the page, it directs to a fault page on Find A Grave and not to the right page. Also, you don't have to put the "id=" in IMDb or IBDb templates either. Just thought I'd tell ya. I've been working through the pages that link to the {{Find A Grave}} template so it can be deleted - it only has about 1400 pages linking there now, vs. thousands on the other one, and they would delete it if it were gone. okay-dokey, I'm off to sleep for a while.

Hey there
editI was starting to think you'd disappeared! Glad to see you back amongst the living dead of Wikipedia night-timers. I came across something and thought I'd let you know about since it popped up on my findagrave corrections list. If you find a findagrave link on one of the pages you're doing such good work on that is formatted {{findagrave|id=XXXXXX}}, could you please take out the id= from it? That format leaves a link error and takes you to a default page instead of the actual page. Find A Death template uses the id= code, but the findagrave one doesn't. How's it going?

Harrison
editI've commented, and I think it's Harvey Carter. It's about a dead male celebrity, it's an allegation of bisexuality, the information has been tendentiously restored as a copy and paste and the IP range is 92. All circumstantial evidence, but all consistent with past history. I've often reverted this type of edit and in the edit summary I've said "reverting edit of banned user" and not once has that person objected and said that they are not a banned user. I think if I was falsely accusing someone several times, they would object at least once. Rossrs (talk) 22:54, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I also marked the two IP numbers with "suspected sock puppet of Harvey Carter", like the other myriad of IPs associated. But keep in mind Rossrs, banned sock puppets protest occasionally, or at least Dooyar does. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:15, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I know sometimes they do, and I only make the comment if I believe it's Harvey. Harvey has never protested, although he may one day surprise me. Rossrs (talk) 23:27, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's Harvey too. The MO is the same as he seems obsessed with making every actor gay or bisexual. I find it curious that he finally added a reference but omitted the page number. It's got me wondering if the book even makes that claim. Pinkadelica Say it... 23:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- That's standard MO too. I've noticed he will occasionally give a book reference if challenged but he never gives a page number. I've seen him support this with an "I've read the book, you haven't" type comment. He's full of it. Rossrs (talk) 00:12, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

- He wasn't exactly Mr. Faithful so it's possible that he had an affair with a man, but I've never heard it and I've heard nearly every dumb rumor that exists about everyone. I really don't care about the validity of it at this point. I'm getting soooooo tired of people inserting
stupidquestionable content into articles because they think it's a revelation of some kind. I think I'm getting Wikiburnout or at the very least, stupidity burnout. Pinkadelica Say it... 00:34, 26 May 2009 (UTC)- Don't you know all those old actors fornicated constantly? Acting was what they did to fill those occasional quiet moments when they couldn't find a willing body to jump on. I share your frustration, but if you succumb to "stupidity burnout" the stupidity inclusionists will win and they're everywhere! We must continue to oppose stupidity at all costs!!!!

I am Stan Shaffer...Louise Robey's husband and she is merely trying to update her bio with her own words and with nothing that cant be verified... please stop changing it back...you are putting up currently incomplete or untrue information Estanoman (talk) 12:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Re:
editThat's because you can't help but watchlist them!!! Sort of like my issues with Excuses. We just cannot say no!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 17:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Wasn't that Wood thing totally outrageous?? I'll let you know when I get the AN/I post ready, I'm sure there will be several comments added by various editors, you can pull out your comments from Cher and elsewhere. I think poor ole R.J. could stand a bit of clean up!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 18:01, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
Apologies
editHi, I originally reverted you at the Louise Robey article but then I reverted myself. I'm sorry it's late in the day for me here and I made an honest mistake and then caught it. I didn't read it properly, again I'm sorry, --CrohnieGalTalk 19:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Dear All I am having a problem with wikipedia. It seems they don't allow direct copying and appear to think that I am copying you! Would it be possible to rewrite your versions so it doesn't look like the new wiki page. That's apparently their problem...Ofcourse using the info I have kept replacing in a dance with them. I think Stan has just once again changed it back however this won't last long and could end up in litigation...I don't want problems with them. Sorry for all the darn trouble but it is going to hurt my career momentum and I have a lot of great projects coming up!

Excuse me...
editIf you have anything to add, please feel free!! Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Excuseme99. Wildhartlivie (talk) 23:06, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
- OMG!! Look at the cluster that was caught up in this case. It's closed! No more excuses. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- LOL! The Dooyar Sock School. Hmmm. I bet it has a high enrollment. Excuseme99 had become a serious problem. You should see what he had to say on Talk:Natalie Wood about her death and Robert Wagner!! I'm quite relieved to get rid of this one. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:51, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
- But... don't you know that the only way to get the real truth out there is to create multiple accounts and force it upon the world? Note that 3 or 4 of those hadn't even been used yet and they're blocked too. Sheesh. Nothing like preparation beforehand. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Babylon
editYou know, I came across that after I saw what the other (related) IP had done with Rudolph Valentino. I thought perhaps this was someone we already know, mostly because of the attack on Babylon. It might have been bitchy, but ya know, yesterday was a sucky day in the Wikipedia world. Do have any idea how many celebrities "died" yesterday, just from my watchlist alone? Harrison Ford, Kevin Spacey, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller... sheesh. I was saddened by Farrah and totally shocked by MJ. My offhand comment was did he have to pick the same day to die that Farrah did? :) I'll look in a minute. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
- I think it sounds fine, good job. I've about burned out on this place this week, I think. We've been going around and around about a disambiguation page issue for James Stewart (actor). First, someone wanted to change the name to Jimmy Stewart, which was soundly thumped since he acted as James Stewart. Now it's about making the actor the main page for the name and moving what is on James Stewart currently to a disambiguation page. It was going fine until the one editor who opposed it rustled up people to support him. That seems wrong to me, and I'm sure is, but I'm tired of that discussion too. And it's been bloody hot here this week. Ack. Ah... Cher died yesterday too, I missed her!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Redirect of Kim Walther
editYou recently changed Kim Walther into a redirect. Was there any discussion about this? Do you think that WP:PROD would be appropriate here?—C45207 | Talk 07:16, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- No formal discussion was done, no. I did run it by another editor informally (albeit months ago) who agreed that it should be deleted or redirected. I chose redirect. However, if you think an AfD would be more appropriate, feel free to undo my change and run it through. Pinkadelica♣ 07:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- On second thought, the redirect seems fine to me.—C45207 | Talk 07:44, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Rex Harrison
editWhat's most interesting is that the IP number that popped up reinserting the content that related to JohnRedwood/GranvilleHouston is from the range connected to that pesky and persistent purveyor of all pink gossip, User:HarveyCarter. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:00, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
- This seems to be further confirmation. I'm going to actually add a suspected sock of HC to the other two pages. Wildhartlivie (talk) 20:21, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Please assume good faith
editTry and be overly nice with new editors. I know it's hard and I know some of them seem like idiots, vandals, or something even worse, but comments like this have wide-reaching effects, namely, a distraught Kimberly Kates and her assistant contacting me to ask what they've done wrong. We can deal with it, although I may have to make a few phone calls to the US to do so - long story short, please try and AGF no matter what!

Steppin article issues
editHi there, I've found several issues with the article Steppin, and ask that you please address them soon. Otherwise, I'll be forced to propose or nominate it for deletion. If you have any questions, let me know! Thanks. Brian Reading (talk) 02:02, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello. You recently reverted changes made to this article based on your interpretation of guidelines found at [3], where it states, "generally you should write about fiction using the present tense, not the past tense." I believe this refers to works of literature and fictional characters in them, not television programs, which I think should be described in the past tense if they no longer are being broadcast. IMHO, if a program like I Love Lucy or The Golden Girls is still seen in reruns, using the present tense makes sense, but to describe an anthology series of the 1950s as if it's still on the air seems odd.

Filmography tables
editJust wanted to let you know I've finally made up a working model for combined filmographies into one table using the wikitable formatting. Hopefully that will calm down the complainers about the old table style we were using. I don't think there's much of an appreciable difference in these vs. the ones we were using.

Holly Valance
editYou aren't missing anything. http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Holly+Valance&titel=Connect&cat=s shows her Australian charting history, and http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=9867 shows her UK charting history. Per that Australian entry, "Connect" and "Whoop" were releases, but never charted in Australia. Per http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Holly+Valance&titel=Connect&cat=s , Connect did not chart in Europe, Australia, or New Zealand. Per http://www.australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Holly+Valance&titel=Whoop&cat=s , Whoop did not chart in Europe, Australia, or New Zealand.—Kww(talk) 12:24, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
- I think it's just another case of fandalism. The editor has been inflating Ashlee Simpson positions too, so he's at level 3 vandalism warning level now.—Kww(talk) 16:32, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Nice
editI was following this travesty through the edits and was so happy to see this. If you have a minute, would you look at what's gone on with Anne Hathaway tonight? I don't want to revert the last change or it will take me over 3RR and I've already warned him about it. Thanks. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:50, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Aw, geez, nothing's ever done here, don't you know that? I'll wait on the photo until ThinkBlue is online. Anne's a good article and she usually is fairly zealous on how they are maintained. She's even offered to help me on my mission to save Scarlett Johansson from losing her GA status, but I think I've got that under control. See what you think about it, I'm almost done, but there are 2-3 more films I need to expand before it's done. You okay? Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:52, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Good to hear. I'd sent you several emails lately, some personal, some not, and hadn't heard back, so I wasn't sure. Is it very hot there? It's been a cool summer here so far, and I'm not complaining. Don't even turn on a fan some days. Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:15, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Did you intend to remove all the content about West's possible 2nd marriage? Wildhartlivie (talk) 08:23, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
- Not only was the Hathaway guy blocked, the Squeaky Fromme "kiss my ***" guy who was editing from his registered account and his IP was blocked for a month for his abusiveness for the IP and indefinitely for the registered account. Made my day. No probs on the rest, I was just wondering and was afraid I'd made you mad about something. I would gloat about our recent 70-75 degree summers, except we have massive flooding today from the rain. It's presently 67. And God didn't make "Little Green Apples".

I edited Mae West
editI have edited the Mae West info for a long time. Only recently I was denied this privilege. I have knowledge concerning Miss West and it is truthful yet I am not allowed to post it recently. Recently, untold inaccurate statements have been allowed concerning Miss West and although I tried to edit these statements, I was not allowed to. I guess new regulations have been installed. I am sorry but I do not understand how to edit Wikipedia according to the supposedly new standards. If you want the information that is posted to remain, then fine, although it is not truthful concerning Miss West. These statements are based on recent suppositions in books that are only the authors opinions. That is no different than mine although they have been published. It is a disservice that Wikipedia allows these statements concerning Miss West and others to be posted just because they are published in questionable books. It is an insult to the memory of Mae West to allow statements saying she had a abortion, she was married a second time, etc. just because some author thought this up. I am very disappointed in the way Wikipedia is now allowing this content. It was much better before and more accurate. Just because something is printed in a book does not mean that it is true. Thank you.
Sienna Miller
editOh, I think it's absolutely a pile of poo incorrect. Usually a person is expected to do something notable before the OBE is handed out. I wouldn't rule out Miss Miller one day doing something notable, as she is quite young, but we've not yet reached that day. :-) Rossrs (talk) 08:46, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Tameka Cottle links
editHi,
I added a link to Tameka"Tiny"Cottle's page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tameka_Cottle) for her official fans site (www.TamekaTinyCottleOnline.com) This site receives exclusive information, photos from the singer's camp so that is why I added the link as an external link on there because it is the only site on the internet that keep Tiny's fans updated on all of her latest project. It was not meant to add for advertisement purposes. The Xscape2Xscape link is still up there and was not removed, and it is providing the same type of news that I am providing except mines is much more detailed towards her fans. Please let me know is there anything I can do to keep the link on her page, since it is very useful source for her fans and Xscape fans as well. Thank you MsBeta
Sent you an email about your reply to me, kindly read it and let me know. Thank you
