isn't her boyfriend 19?68.0.149.121 (talk) 05:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Name of article

I moved Jamie Spears to Jamie Lynn Spears, as it seems that is the name she is going to be marketed under, at least for now. —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 09:53, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

And further confirming that, we have 10,200 Google hits for "Jamie Spears" as opposed to 66,000 Google hits for "Jamie Lynn Spears". —Lowellian (talk)[[]] 09:54, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

Somebody added what purports to be Jamie Lynn's AOL screen name, but it turned up no Google hits, so I removed it. Not sure that kind of thing should be in an article, anyway. But if someone wants to add it back, feel free. Everyking 20:58, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Umm...

This page needs serious attention, it looks as though somebody doesn't like Jamie Lynn and went through bad-mouthing her the whole article. I don't know how to do tags, but I think this one needs one. Vash The Stampede 02:14, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Great work on the edits, but that big about Don Swayze and Chris Penn is just another (albeit funnier) joke--right? --Mister Tattle 05:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jamie Lynn cant sing she is just trying to be like her sister but that will never happen jamie lynn spears does not have a boyfriend because newsweek intrviewed jamie lynn spears they ask her if she had any boyfriend jamie spears said no knid of haing out jamie lynn spears said i have good close friend but nothing serious

Wasn't Jamie Lynn Spears born in 1991?

According to her official web site (http://www.jamielynnspears.com/), she was born in April 4, 1992. However, imdb (http://imdb.com/name/nm1086604/) says 1991. I've been going by her official web site. But now, I don't know, and won't revert anybody who changes it. But if it's changed, please cite a new and better source. --rob 06:37, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Interestingly, I checked the bio on Jamie Lynn's official site today and it now states she's 14 years old. It goes on to state she'll be in the 9th grade this fall. Perhaps there was a typo.

Yep, you're right. I stand corrected. She is 14, and obviously born in 1991, not 1992, as her own site said previously. It is now fixed. --rob 10:04, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it was a typo. Fans have known her birthday was April 4, 1991 since she was about 10. Stephe1987 21:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Controversy

Can anyone cite this: "Spears caused some controversy in 2004 when she said that exercise guru Richard Simmons was a 'slimeball.' Many in the press said that Spears had lost her way and that her comments were completely unwarranted." I certainly couldn't confirm it anywhere else on the net.

No, kind of hanging out. I have good, close friends, but nothing serious.

"Gunged"?

"While on All That she also did many On-Air Dare skits(a nickelodeon version of fear factor) where she was gunged with 10,000 raw eggs, had to drink human sweat, and eat blue cheese dressing as well as other disgusting acts."

Uh.... is this kind of pedo fetish baiting really encyclopedic? especially when there is no mention of her other performances on the show? 72.155.156.92 14:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

What's so disgusting about blue cheese dressing? Geriguiaguiatugo 03:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

It's made with mold. "Ewie!" It's probably more disgusting to kids than adults, and it was on a kid show. Bellpepper 10:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Birthday, again

I'm reposting this from a conversation I had with User talk:T3hrealadamd. Apparently there's still a typo on the official site, only noticeable in a popup window. I'm assuming that the popup window is a mistake, and the April 4, 1991 date is correct. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 03:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

You said the official web site says 1992...can you show me where you saw that? IMDB gives a date of April 4 1991. The official web site says she's 15 years old. TV.com says she's 15 years old. Based on all of those references, I have reverted it back to April 4 1991. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 19:31, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

By all means, I mean not to vandalize. Here's a link to a screenshot from that page: http://h.xerol.org/i/JLSbio.jpg If you hover over the top left picture on the Bio page, that pops up. I was just assuming the main page would have more correct info than anywhere else, and figured whoever typed it maybe made a typo and hit a 1 instead of a 2. But if that's been the concensus, then by all means revert my changes. Thanks. --T3hrealadamd ^(talk) 20:54, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to post that screen shot and the instructions. I didn't see that popup the first time I looked at the site. Very strange, but I still think that the popup is a typo. The text right under it says she's 15; IMDB gives the April 4, 1991 date, and I just checked the New York Times archive. On January 9, 2005, they gave her age as 13. On August 7, 2005, they gave her age as 14. And (as far as I can tell), every fan site I checked with Google gave the April 4, 2001 date. But let's post this on the Talk:Jamie Lynn Spears to see if anyone else can suggest another way to confirm the date. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 03:10, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree that 1992 was just a typo, and 1991 must be correct. Since we're lacking a truly reliable source (imdb and fan sites aren't reliable), if anybody seriously disputes 1991, I think they're entitled to remove the birthdate altogether, based on verifiability policy (e.g. have no birthdate). But, as said, I suggest leaving it at 1991. --Rob 00:26, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I think it is best to get consistency in the page by getting the birth dates in the infobox and in the introduction to be the same. I shall edit the page and make the birth date in the introduction page as the 1991 date. --Shashi 05:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Top cheerleader

Can anyone tell me what makes her a "top" cheerleader as opposed to just a cheerleader? Binabik80 05:52, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Good question. A quick google search didn't provide any justification for "top cheerleader" (award-winning), so I removed the word "top" and added a link. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 06:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Needs Expanding

i went on her site and there was a huge biography of her there, but the article here is barely half a page long, i think someone should go and add some stuff to it because its pretty short, and its a little disheartening when someone like Jamie Lynn Spears has a half page article.

I'll work on it right after I get home, I'm writing write it now to remember.(Trampton 20:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)).

Can we Please have a new pic?

The picture of Jamie Lynn in this article is fairly outdated and i think a more current picture should replace it. check Jamie-spears.com for pictures, they have lots.

That picture is going to be deleted soon anyway, unless someone provides copyright information. Mark Grant 17:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

uhh isnt all the stuff on wikipedia under some no copyright law thing? well w/e it needs a new pic so we will just have to get some copyright stuff i guess

Infoboxes for celebrities can only use free use (ie. non-copyrighted images) pictures. It's Wikipedia policy. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 03:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Now let's change this one. It is kinda blurry.

(Trampton 09:17, 5 March 2007 (UTC)).

ok, not exactly "up-to-date" but i guess itll have to do, but i have a plan, all we have to do is go to Los Angeles, or Kentwood, take a picture of her, then put it on wikipedia! brilliant, isnt it?

Confused?

how can she live in los angeles but attend school in missippi at the same time? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curefreak (talk • contribs) 05:59, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

Album.

Isn't she rcording an album? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.25.197.19 (talk) 17:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

Protected

Too many anons have been changing her birth year and adding in speculative "boyfriends". Therefore, no anons may now edit the article. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 17:49, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Can anyone find a source for the image?

A new user recently uploaded image:061219 spears hmed 4p h2.jpg for this article. Can someone come up with a source and, if necessary, a fair use rationale? Shalom ^Hello 01:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

What happened to the Reference List?

In the code the Refernce List appears, but when I look at the actual article it's not there. What gives?Spitfire (talk) 04:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

You took out a > at the end of the reference with your second edit so that screwed it all up. Metros (talk) 04:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Image suggestion

Would it be fesable to add a picture to the Pregnancy section? I found this image but I don't know if I should put it in or not, I'd like your input. :) http://d.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/p/ap/20071219/capt.14e950fad50044ab90d5922a22ace34b.people_jamie_lynn_spears_la201.jpg?y=300&x=275&q=80&n=1&sig=W9DLflF73B41rtHjmcNIWw--

Spitfire (talk) 04:57, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Not really, no. Covers of magazines can only be used to discuss the magazine or the cover image. So unless we were discussing that particular cover, then no it cannot be used. I see no reason it should be added to the pregnancy section as it would add nothing. Metros (talk) 05:00, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
