Rollback Request - and a question

Thanks for the approval. I'll probably wear out the button jsut on those Kelly Clarkson pages haha. That reminds me.. have you seen the GA REVIEW on the talk page (and I got a message as well), I added as many citations tot he best sources available (leaving out social networks), but some citiations jsut can't be given as the info is old and sort of off the net now, or they are in video's and such on blogs, youtube, etc.. which im trying not to use as referances at all, make articles look rather poor. any suggestions with these almsot impossible to find citiations of actually true statements? i'm stumped on many of them on Kelly Clarkson .. p.s. I can't use my own referances, I know Clarkson and ehr friends, can't cite whats said dirfectly..haha.. but it is why I have a particular interest in the articles and keeping them rumor free and factual Alankc (talk) 19:21, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're very welcome! I'm sure you'll use the tool well.

Regarding Kelly Clarkson herself, I think the first thing to do would be to remove anything from her article that is hard to source but also trivial and not really worth mentioning if it can't be sourced that easily. I admit I haven't read through the article much recently (which I should do, due to her songs being back on the charts again and there's high activity on her page), so I'll have to do that soon. As for the bad sources you mentioned, as far as I'm aware, there is no ban on YouTube links, but if you use them, you'll have to make sure that the video on the site is not a copyright violation (note I have not done this before). With blogs, it may be worth reading them in case they link to anything useful, which they sometimes do, but I'd be careful with them, for as you said, blogs shouldn't be used as sources.

As for knowing Kelly herself, it's a shame anything you've spoken to her about personally can't be used: unfortunately, it counts as "original research" unless it's mentioned elsewhere. Ah well. Acalamari 19:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes, that's the problems there, the original research thing, and, I can't reveal certain things that haven't happened yet, priviledged information of sorts. I'd love to get rid of her personal live in the beginning of the article since it has nothing to do with ehr career at all, but it would just be added back constantly. Her fans are relentless (as you noticed from all the vandals and such on her articles). I can actually identify each one of them and where they come from online. Clarkson used to psot on her own fansites, she stopped doing it a few years ago, but many of them still hold on to that direct cocntact they used to have, and think they know all there is to know about the girl.. it's sad in a fan-stalkerish kind of way.

Requesting Copy of Recently Deleted Article

Hi Acalamari - recently, User: Aitias deleted an article of mine. I went to his user page to request a copy of it be sent to me so that I may revise and hopefully move back to the main article space in time. I noticed that you deleted his user page and I thought that he may not be checking his discussion board. I would like to request a copy of Integration Point be sent to me so that I may work on it further. Thanks Jmiles1107 (talk) 13:16, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
