Fefe Dobson Article

Do to the fact my editing style may look insane. I’m going to explain my general plan. I find that unless someone creates an extremely easy to add to set up a lot editors don't take the time to add minor bits of information so I've added everything I can think of to make adding to the article about Fefe Dobson really simple. My goal is to get the article about Fefe Dobson to Featured Article Status. Rainer1 05:39, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Name

How is this name pronounced? Can we get an IPA translation or an anglicized transliteration? Thanks. Davemcarlson 05:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assume it's pronounced "Fifi", but that's just me. I mean she hasn't said anything, so that's how I say it. Brittany Ka 11:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Sunday Love (new).jpg

Image:Sunday Love (new).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:53, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Music Legends

"she collaborated with many of the music industry's legends such as Nina Gordon, Kay Hanley" WHO?? I'm sorry, but how can they be legends if no one's ever heard of them?

Nina Gordon was in Veruca Salt and Kay Hanley was in Letters to Cleo. They're both pretty popular amongst the inde-chick groups. They would generally be associated with Fefe.

Almost everyone knows who Nina Gordon is upon hearing her name, I'd assume. Kay Hanley's my personal idol, so I'd consider her a legend, but she's probably best known for providing Josie's singing voice for the Josie and the Pussycats movie, so I can see why some people'd be iffy when calling her a 'legend.' But I in turn agree that Fefe would be associated with them in people's heads, so it fits for this article. 65.64.201.97 —Preceding comment was added at 20:06, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Performing Farts?

In the vein of assuming good faith, I thought I'd query this. While for years I've found Wikipedia useful for quick fact checking/corroboration and the like, I've only recently signed up for an account. As a newbie, I figure I'll err on the side of caution. Under the "Early Life" section, in the first paragraph can be found the following sentence: "Dobson went to a performing farts community center when she was young. In the fifth grade, she played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz at her school." Is this as it should be or just in fact a typo? OK, I don't actually know anything about Fefe and only looked her up because I read the name somewhere and wanted to know more. If this is in fact some kind of commonly used slang (in which case it has no place in an encyclopaedia article anyway, afaik) then I hope I'll be forgiven for my ignorance- I've certainly not come across in British English. Anyway, hello to you all... this is my first "contribution". Hopefully over time I may make some positive waves by starting some helpful ripples.

Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Stifle (talk) 22:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection against vandalism and unauthorized users.

Can someone please semi-lock this page. There has been quite a bit of vandalism done to this page overtime by anonymous users. I'm not to familiar with how to semi-protect the page. (Miss vicious404 (talk) 02:24, 9 December 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Hey there Miss vicious404, if you would like a page protected, add your request to WP:RPP. Only admins can protect articles; the protection template alone does nothing. Also, before nominating this specific article, I wouldn't recommend it because the level on vandalism on this article isn't very heavy. DiverseMentality 07:51, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Attention!!

This article is a big mess!! I just finished her early life section and I thought I would alert everyone that wants to edit this page to please provide references to every detail you put because I want to turn this article to Good Article status. If you don't follow the guideline then I'll revert the edit. Greene Leigh Online (talk) 14:22, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
