I've updated the 'on-line and media presence' section to replace links with citations. Please don't undo work, come here and discuss what needs to be fixed. I'll be trying to update this page a bit too. Thanks! Cap020570 (talk) 17:21, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I see the page is protected. I hope you don't think I was trying to vandalize it. I was just adding/fixing links and I eventually want to redo this profile to include, not only her sex-positive work but her long media (investigative reporting) work. It's irritating that this is the 4th woman's profile I've come across that been targeted for vandalism.Cap020570 (talk) 11:34, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
I'm proud to say I'm a member of the Gendergap folks trying to address our gender-related issues here. That said: "Violet Blue" is a person who has been involved in a number of controversies and lawsuits; such people attract a larger than random number of vandals, NPOV violators, and persons who want to include information that others feel should be excluded. This need not be gender-linked; in other words, it may be about her and not her gender. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:38, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
I only knew her from the tiny nibbles blog and don't even follow that very well, oh and twitter. I only got involved when she tweeted about the profile page. I had no idea she did so much tech reporting. I'd really like to just redo the whole page, like I said. :) Cap020570 (talk) 23:06, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Is there a reason this was deleted? Her birth name is not Violet Blue, it is Wendy Sullivan. This is easy to verify and was stated by Violet herself in a public court filing:
Please provide a reliable source for this information. If you click on the link, you'll see the Wikipedia standards for what constitutes a reliable source. Keep in mind that standards are higher for an article about a living person. Thanks. NathanT 21:12, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
The document, which fails WP:BLPPRIMARY, does not prove that that name on her birth certificate is Wendy Sullivan; all it proves is that she has been known as Wendy Sullivan Blue for legal purposes at some point. This is discussed extensively in the talk page archive, and it would never go into the article on the basis of primary source documents alone.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 05:27, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
Wendi S Sullivan's Mother's Maiden Name was Rodrigue[edit]
All of this has been discussed many times before, and the use of primary documents fails WP:BLPPRIMARY.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 06:21, 17 October 2014 (UTC)
Article Issues - How is she notable and what has she accomplished besides being controversial?[edit]
The article's narrative seems to be "here are her controversies" without establishing her notability or timeline of accomplishments. If I hadn't found a Forbes article that stated she was actually a high-profile online figure, I would have been tempted to challenge her notability. I'm not tag-crazy, but can we work together to clean this article up? EBY (talk) 01:24, 21 October 2014 (UTC)
