"Bibliography" -> "Published Works" or "Writings"

The term "bibliography" is ambiguous as a title for the section listing Komando's published works. It is not immediately clear if she is the author of the books, or if she is a subject of the books. Please clarify. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.67.12.44 (talk) 21:36, 29 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Ok, makes sense. I switched it to "Published Works". ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 23:50, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Komando" origins

Encyclopedic content must be verifiable--a birth certificate and an expert source on genealogy are needed to verify the claim about her last name. Otherwise, the claim merely belongs in a "trivia" section. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 138.67.11.244 (talk) 18:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The statement "X claims Y is Z" is very different then "Y is Z". Your demanding a source for the second statement when we actually aren't printing that. Kim could claim her last name is from Martian ancestor and we could truthfully and verifiably say "Kim claims her name is from Mars". Do understand the distinction that is being drawn here? ---J.S (T/C/WRE) 00:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the distinction. As the statement is now, I still think it belongs in a trivia section. It sounds trifling. It really isn't significant where her last name comes from. Plenty of people have Russian last names. I look at "A" rated biographies, and I don't see those sorts of autobiographical comments in the main section. The reference link provided is filled with self-promotional topics. See Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Self-promotion --"Links that appear to promote products by pointing to obscure or not particularly relevant commercial sites (commercial links) or biographical material that does not significantly add to the clarity or quality of the article." Let's be clear that www.kimkomando.com is not Komando's personal website. It is ostensibly a commercial website for the Kim Komando Radio Show.
