[edit]

Can we PLEASE stop the "my site belongs over yours" match in the external links? Unless you're adding an official web site, it's unfair to the site owners and previous article editors to place your unofficial external links above theirs. It's a matter of simple courtesy. They were the first to edit the page, it's only fair for their links to appear first.

Those links should not be there, per Wikipedia:External links. I'll take them out. If there is one very prominent fansite for Anna, then it should be linked to (after official sites); but we are not a web directory or a service for advertising websites. The external links section should feature official sites, sites used as reference material for writing the article, plus things like interviews. --Idont Havaname (Talk) 18:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Upcoming Album?

[edit]

I think the paragraph that says:

Currently, Anna Nalick is working on a second album due by the end of 2006 (title TBA).

isn't accurate. Isn't she on tour right now with Rob Thomas? Where does this information come from?

- While I did not post the information, it is likely that the user who did found the information on the official message foard for Ms. Nalick. Her family, notably her father, is known to post there. He has posted several statements in the past that would confirm work on a second album, but not a date. The information is shaky, at best.

Ms. Nalick's time on the tour with Rob Thomas ended in early April, 2006.

This is sort of resolved with the August 2010 comeback announcement which explains the absence. An acoustic album is expected by March 2011 with a studio album to follow sometime later in 2011. RachGreen (talk) 17:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Russian?

[edit]

Anyone have a source for that? Mad Jack 18:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember where I saw it, probably on her Facebook profile or somewhere, but an alternative spelling of her surname is Nalic, which does sound Eastern European (though not Russian) to me. It was part of a big family kind of posting (all the Nalicks/Nalics/whomever have a good day) if I remember correctly. In any case citations are needed. RachGreen (talk) 18:37, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have better info on the Russian thing. For Wreck of the Day photo shoot, Anna had it done at an abandoned wing of Ellis Island. In a promo short video shoot, she stated that it was a nod to her family coming from Russia via there. So there is reference for Anna's Russian roots, but I do not know how to cite the video. It is official Sony Music video but is no longer available anywhere online. I would presume that Nalick is the Anglicized version of the Russian family name (either done at Ellis Island or during the McCarthy era), though in the Wreck of the Day credits section Anna refers to the "Nalick/Walker clans" to refer to her extended family so apparently only her father's side is Russian as far as I can tell. RachGreen (talk) 20:13, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Issue is resolved - Anna tweeted on 24 January 2011 with her ethnicity while discussing translating a French song. Good enough of citation material. RachGreen (talk) 17:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anna's Twitter had Anna's own personal posts removed, so looks like an editor removed the Russian ethnicity mention from the Wikipedia article as well in Nov 2012. That's fair. I hope Anna can resume her official representation. RachGreen (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

is it worth mentioning Wreck of the Day ('06) on bio page?

[edit]

Hi all, is it worth mentioning the extended version of Anna Nalick's debut album on her bio page? I already added info about it on the album page (I think under my prior signature, "Tachikoma"). Thanks. --Kyoko 20:35, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Glendora east of Pasadena

[edit]

Glendora is not "just east" of Pasadena. It is just east of Azusa. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fred Condo (talk • contribs) 00:28, 22 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]


Agreed. I took out the "just." Realistically, I don't think "east of Pasadena" is necessary at all, but I left it for simplicity's sake. At least it isn't totally misleading now. Also, I cleaned up the links to Glendora and Pasadena, so they didn't link to a public access TV producer and a disambiguation page, respectively. VagueHorizon 02:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa, whoa, WHOA!

[edit]

There's mention on here that Anna has left the music business (as a performer). Can we please get some verification on this! I would welcome any information on what happened for it to come to this. Her first album was successful, her singles still play on tv shows on shopping centers, but for some reason her label botched her sophomore effort. I've been a pretty big fan since the beginning, this would be aweful! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.8.197 (talk) 08:31, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pure speculation at this point. While it's true that Lippman's Entertainment website no longer lists Anna Nalick as one of the artists they manage, there's no definitive conclusion on her being dropped by Sony, or Anna becoming a mere songwriter. --Lashiec (talk) 17:49, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved as of August 2010 with Anna's comeback announcement on Facebook and website. RachGreen (talk) 17:29, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Needs Additional Citation" removal from Early Years?

[edit]

I just cleaned up that section and added necessary citations. Only one item remains without citation (name of the Rush cover band). The "needs citation" label can be removed from the section IMO. RachGreen (talk) 19:10, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Went ahead and removed the header from the section. RachGreen (talk) 18:28, 8 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Year of Birth

[edit]

Conventional wisdom has been that Anna was born in 1984, however this article now mentions 1985. Need citation on this. Otherwise it'll need to revert to 1984. Either way citation will be needed - I will look for some later myself. RachGreen (talk) 17:37, 25 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reference photograph removal

[edit]

I checked the history of the article and noted that Californiagrl, as an official representative of Anna Nalick, had the reference photo removed, citing that Anna did not like the photo. Thanks to user user:Uncle Milty for staying on top of this. I had taken the photo myself, and as Wikipedia is a neutral medium, it is necessary to know whether the reason for removal falls within the guidelines. If the photo is not of Anna, if it wrongly defames her, or if it shows her in an embarrassing situation, then it is fair for removal. In my understanding, I don't think there are other valid reasons for photo/content removal. The photo had shown Anna in a nice smile, and Flickr's Smiles group even requested to have it added to them (I had sent the photo to Flickr first), so I don't think any of the derogatory factors matter here; if Anna personally does not like the photo, that is not grounds for removal, although a request can be made and a better photo provided from me or a different source (or even better, an official photo, as Californiagrl had offered) as long as the rights do allow such use on Wikipedia.

Also as user:Uncle Milty mentioned on Californiagrl's talk page, Conflict of Interest issues need to be considered for any official representative of the subject of the article, to keep the article neutral. RachGreen (talk) 08:08, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Inquired at Biographies of Living Persons Noticeboard, and user:Off2riorob decided to restore the profile photo for now. I would indeed like user:Californiagrl to supply a copyright-compliant official photo as soon as possible. I also would like to know the specific reason as to why Anna wants this photo removed. Some reasons do require immediate removal, but that is not applicable here. Amicable discussion is the best way to resolve this issue. RachGreen (talk) 10:00, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Met with Anna herself in person on 20 June, and got her story. Anna did admit that she asked to have the photo removed. Somehow she thought the reference photo was hideous, at her worst, even though I beg to disagree. Apologies were made - she apologized for looking "hideous" and I apologized for taking the photo of the "hideousness." Anna does seem to understand Wikipedia's photo policy now, and now does not object to keeping the photo up, but I still would like her rep to come up with a better photo if possible. For the record I do not have any links to Anna herself, except for being a fan and a regular at her Los Angeles area shows. RachGreen (talk) 06:37, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, I also beg to differ about the picture, it looks natural and not airbrushed as many promotional pictures are these days. A professional commons comparable picture would be a welcome donation though. Thanks for your work here. Off2riorob (talk) 08:57, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and replaced the reference photo anyway - on 20 June, a friend from Flickr was also at the same show, she took some awesome B&W photos, and Anna personally raved about them on Facebook. I have gotten one of them up as the new reference photo. I think this works out the best for me and other Wikipedia users/editors, the friend who took the photo, and Anna herself. RachGreen (talk) 05:41, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is a nice photo. Thanks for going to the effort to find it. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 12:54, 27 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question about record labels

[edit]

Since Anna is no longer with Columbia and Epic as a recording artist, shouldn't there be a notation that Columbia and Epic are her former recording labels in the heading for Anna's Wikipedia entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.9.88.75 (talk) 04:30, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
