Talk:Karen Carpenter (album)

Near end of article, a bias seems prevalent. Phrase "contains some of the best work Karen has done in her career", as well as some otheres, is extremely subjective, and should be addressed accordingly.

Edit 12 March 13[edit]

Just did a general cleanup. Please remember that when referencing a specific statement to a book that the page number or numbers must be included in the ref tag. Simply giving the title and author, then going on and on about what was said is not an acceptable citation. I'm not clear about the use of "liner notes" as source material: if it's not sufficient for Wikipedia guidelines to simply say in the body copy that the information originates from the liner notes, then they should be properly referenced like any other publication, and simply going on and on about what the notes supposedly contained is not a valid citation. I believe, however, that liner notes would be considered a primary source, and therefore are not allowable. I'm sure there are third party sources for the statements made in the article that are attributed to the liner notes. Canonblack (talk) 13:25, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a less than experienced Wikiian I think the article reads very well from such limited sources. Am astonished that liner notes from an album you're specifically interested are not allowable, without them this piece would be a mere stub. So long as gross crimes such as perpetuating urban myths or conspiracy theories are avoided I'm happy. Now where's that tilde? Lonesometwin (talk) 13:16, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
