Jamie Lynn Spears breastfeeding photos is child porn?
There has been media controversy and academic discussion by legal experts over whether the breastfeeding photos of Jamie Lynn Spears constitutes child porn. It is right throughout discussed on the Internet but seemingly not on the article. here is an example YouTube clip - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65Cwlqbaas0. Any thoughts on inclusion? Jlynnfan (talk) 08:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I know it says not to give opinions, but I had to seeing as this isn't porn at all. Porn is meant to turn someone one sexually, whereas breastfeeding isn't (unless you have some kind of strange fetish). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander.hugh.george (talk • contribs) 03:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Media Attention/Outrage over Pregnancy
Wouldn't it be appropriate in the pregnancy section to have some discussion of the media attention and the controversy over it? At the time there was quite a lot of attention devoted to her pregnancy and a lot of surprise and disappointment because this went so contrary to her public image as a "good girl." As it stands the article now doesn't seem to give a sense of how big a deal this was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.218.221.152 (talk) 23:22, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a mention of the controversy. It's only about a sentence, but I think it should suffice for now. Stupid Corn (talk) 15:00, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

i love youuu!!! vandalism
Is it just my computer or did a fan vandalize Jamie's article? 121.96.255.134 (talk) 05:17, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

just a question
it says here: In California, it is illegal for an adult to have intercourse with a person under the age of 18, but it is only a misdemeanor if the child is less than three years younger than the adultshe was to young and irrespondsilby

Jamie Lynn IS NOT from California is she, so shouldn't we find out the legal age in her state and change it cause just cause someone vists some where doesn't mean if they do something esle in there state they live in wrong only if she did it in California so i think it needs to be re-worded i know it says something about it at the end but it still does sound right the laws are different in some states not everything is done by California law and we should remeber that here when we write the article, so far she STILL lives in kentwood.

My reply to this: If I understand what you're trying to say, you're trying to say that since she isn't a resident of California, that this statement about California law isn't relevent. You're ignoring the fact that it is possible they had intercourse in California though, and thus regardless of where she resides legally, it still might have been a misdemeanor. The article does state they can't determine where she had intercourse though, so your concerns are already satisfied. Mentioning California in my opinion is only to show it COULD have been a crime. 76.178.134.37 (talk) 03:43, 31 July 2008 (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. &mdash;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". &mdash;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)

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 this is very odd and a loser o.k.

"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)

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?

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)

Still a stub?
This article has been stubbed for a long time, but there have been significant edits and additions just in the last 24 hours. Does it still qualify as a stub? Wakedream (talk) 06:14, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Bedford for removing stub tag. Wakedream (talk) 19:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Who cares?
This article is quite non-notable. 64.178.175.154 (talk) 13:49, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. If there is a wikipedia article about this wikipedia article, it should be deleted...Youkai no unmei (talk) 14:20, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but she is notable. She has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. Plus she has a significant role in a notable television production -Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 14:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If there was any doubt of notability before this pregnancy revelation, I would think she is now...not exactly a good thing. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 23:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * She is a star of a successful television show, not to mention the sister of one of the most written about people on the Internet. In my opinion these makes the younger Spears notable whether or not she's pregnant. But broad coverage of her pregnancy doesn't hurt her notability. Wakedream (talk) 17:52, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

The "But now she won't be doing much because of the pregnancy." speculation is silly, without reference and should be removed. When a clear statement is issued or time has passed then something can be added concerning her activities. 128.227.48.93 (talk) 01:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Another factor for notability--the Wikipedia article about the TV show in which Spears stars, Zoey 101, is currently rated as being of High Importance. Wakedream (talk) 18:18, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Jamie Lynn Spears is a TV star who has been in the news, and especially more frequently since getting pregnant at age 16. It more than warrants a wikipedia article. Case closed. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 05:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

He said the artice was non-notable, not the person. Not giving my own oppinion, just staing the facts. 76.104.254.127 (talk) 23:23, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

18 or 19
A online MSN page (CelebEdge, Dramarama) said that the father is 18, not 19!--Brown Shoes22 (talk) 04:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I know. I was watching FOX 10 news AZ and they said he's 18. I'm going to change it. Michael Houang (talk) 22:39, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Almost all sources say 19, especially the one concerning the statuatory rape charge. "CelebEdge" may not be the most reliable source, either. Possibly just misinformation.  Zchris87v  04:49, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you would want to see this one. I was inclined to exclude the statutory rape debate out of the article but now I feel it is inevitable it will creep in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kushal one (talk • contribs) 21:14, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Once things settle down (which could take weeks), if there was a statement which could infer there was a crime that passes the reliable source sniff test, THEN I'd add it. WAVY 10 Fan (talk) 19:54, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears his age of 18 has been confirmed (both currently and at the time of Spears' impregnation), as it now appears in the article. Whether or not this could constitute a crime seems to depend on where it took place, but the topic has been the subject of numerous articles and commentaries. Wakedream (talk) 11:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

1988 or 1989
The Notable Names Database lists Aldridge's birth year as 1989 on Spears' page, but it may have been in error. If he was born in 1988, then it makes sense that one would confuse between 18 and 19, as he was 18 on Jamie Lynn's birthday. If he was born in 1989 he would have been 17. So 1988 is more reasonable. LittleMsP 23:21, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to mention this because of Wikipedia being all spazzed out.. servers too busy, loss of data, etc. Aldridge is 19 and born in 1988 - graduated high school last year in 2006, attended junior college for about a year, works as pipe layer in Baton Rouge. LittleMsP 15:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Baby's father is not confirmed
Let's step carefully when we're treading in potentially illegal waters. More than once, an editor has written than Casey Aldridge is the father of Spears' unborn offspring. I've removed or changed this because: 1) until there's a genetic test, no one (except possibly Jamie Lynn Spears) can know who the father is; 2) as any alleged sex act between Aldridge and Spears may have been illegal, we'd essentially be saying he's guilty of a crime before trial or even arrest. Note Wikipedia policy regarding living persons: "This article must adhere to the policy on biographies of living persons. Controversial material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous. If such material is repeatedly inserted or if there are other concerns relative to this policy, report it on the living persons biographies noticeboard." As of this edit, you can see this near the top of this page. Until we have a source verifying that Aldridge is the father, let's leave it as a possibility, not a certainty. I welcome comments below. Wakedream (talk) 07:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Hold on, there are enough reputable sources (such as CNN) who have spoken on it. I agree that unsourced and poorly sourced information MUST be removed, though. Kushalt 22:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently the boyfriend is not the father
"Star magazine says today that Casey Aldridge is NOT the father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby, despite her claims, and in fact the real father is a producer on her show "Zoey 101". The producer/real dad is described as "much older" and he cannot come forward because it would be admitting to statutory rape and he would almost certainly face jail time." See here brob (talk) 09:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like it was right! brob (talk) 12:23, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for posting this here instead of in the article itself. It gives a chance for comment about a controversial source. Star magazine features "celebrity news and gossip," as it proclaims on its website . "Gossip" often means unsubstantiated rumors, making this a highly questionable source for Wikipedia. I think Wikipedia would be improved if more people posted such things on the talk page of an article first, as you have done. Wakedream (talk) 11:06, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The allegation has now been posted on this article. Star magazine, as stated above, proclaims that it publishes gossip, and I'm not seeing a reference to this in the mainstream media, just a couple other gossip publications that are citing Star. Should this be used as a source? Wakedream (talk) 17:21, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

She says that that Casey dude is the father, unless there is very strong proof against this and BIG sources, wikipedia should not encourage gossip. I'm removing the "is now being alleged" thing, very very, weasely and it's definetely not encyclopedic. --Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 17:37, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had thought about removing it myself, but wanted another opinion. And thanks for the free hug. :-) Wakedream (talk) 07:18, 28 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I just want to second that. I came to this article after reading the news on IMDb.com and expected to have tons of information originating from unrealiable sources here, but you guys are doing a great job. Star Magazine is not a reliable source and as long as no rep of Spears or any other third party with an acceptable reputations claims that the Casey-dude is not the father, I strongly suggest to leave this piece of information out. Best regards, -- Plum couch Talk2Me 15:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll accept the compliment on behalf of all those who participated. :-) Wakedream (talk) 07:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Location of conception
I certainly do not want to start an edit war. However, I added that the location of conception is not verified, even though a reference to this had earlier been cut. Depending upon where it happened and the circumstances of how it happened, it could be regarded as legal, a misdemeanor or a felony. I believe that's important enough to warrant a line or two in the article. Wakedream (talk) 07:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Unverified claim
"whom she met through church.[6] [12]" but sources 6 and 12 do not support this statement! The AP Wire page doesn't say anything like it and the OK Mag only has it in two reader comments, which are in no way a reliable source. Why would the writer of this cite two such sources? It seems he's just assuming nobody would check them. You should do something about this and if it turns out to be an outright lie get the writer for it. 77.248.16.35 (talk) 11:21, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

 * The sources we have say the man that Jamie Lynn says is the father is 18, not 19. If you have a reliable source that states otherwise, by all means post it here. Wakedream (talk) 06:52, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * BTW, teeny-bopper airheads need to get accounts on here if they're going to post material. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 05:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Crime is about the sex, not the impregnation
I wanted to say this here first in case someone knows something I don't. As far as I can tell, the criminal charges regarding the pregnancy are centered on if her boyfriend committed statutory rape, which is about the sex act itself, not "the impregnation" which, theoretically, is not a crime in and of itself.

From the article: "However, it is not known where conception occurred. Depending on the location, the impregnation might or might not have been illegal."

I don't think this is correct because the impregnation is not the crime here: the sex act is. The only reason that the pregnancy matters it that it is proof (excluding the rather unlikely non-sex induced pregnancy scenario) that there was a potentially illegal sex act and even the source cited for that section (Jonathan Turley (21 December 2007). Spears Pregnancy May Result in Television Special Rather than Criminal Charges) doesn't suggest it is the pregnancy that is a criminal matter but rather the sex act.

Also, the location of the conception does not matter, only the location of the sex act (it is possible for them not to be the same.)

I would recommend, then, that the above section be changed to read:

However, it is not known where the sex act which resulted in the pregnancy took place. Depending on the jurisdiction, the act may or may not have been illegal.

If you know something which contradicts what I have said, or if you have a better replacement, please say so. If not, I will make the change in a day or two. Oniamien (talk) 20:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I agree, I changed impregnation to intercourse. Nil Einne (talk) 18:43, 8 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I agree on the change, even though I'm the one who worded it that way. Thanks for your improvement!
 * But it's since been changed to "However, it is not known where Aldridge obtained carnal knowledge of Spears...." I suppose that sentence is technically correct, but does anyone but me think it could do with a little rewording? How about something like, "However, it is not known where Aldridge had sex with Spears...." Wakedream (talk) 06:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks to Bellagio99 for changing it. Wakedream (talk) 06:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Nickelodeon issued a statement about the birth on Thursday, saying, "We wish her and her family well." Nickelodeon spokeswoman Marianne Romano said that filming of the fourth and final season of "Zoey 101" was completed last summer before Spears became pregnant.

Redirect of Casey Aldridge
Uhh why does Casey Aldridge redirect to this article... they aren't the same person... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.125.46 (talk) 19:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * He has no notability of his own; he's just known as her boyfriend. So it redirects here since it's the only coverage he'll have on Wikipedia.  Metros (talk) 19:59, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * But it is not practical to redirect to another page where he is barely even mentioned. The least you could do is create a page which gave the option to disambiguate between Jamie Lynn and himself. Even if there is no important information about him, he should still be separated from her. Bjtitus (talk) 21:01, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, it says Casey Aldridge is a "pipe layer", I'm sure this is a joke. "Laying some pipe" is a common slang term for sex, I have seen no mention anywhere on the internet of his actual profession. I believe he gets by on his good looks, charms, and uh, "pipe laying" ability... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Torgon (talk • contribs) 01:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Jamie Lynn in hiding
It says that Jamie Lynn is being kept in her house for her own sake. It also says in the article that Jamie Lynn is in denial about the pregnancy. But the source for that (and others I know of on the same topic) specifically state that LYNNE Spears is in denial about the pregnancy, not Jamie Lynn. I think that needs to be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.192.28.83 (talk) 04:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I hope somebody will put this...

http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272621622.shtml

Jul 18, 2008

Britney Spears spent the better part of two years being pregnant and her career and her life have never really been the same. Is that is what's next for little sister Jamie Lynn Spears? In what many will say is madness the Enquirer is reporting that just barely a month after giving birth to her daughter, teen mom Jamie Lynn Spears already wants another baby, a new report claims. Britney Spears 2.0: Jamie Lynn Spears Wants Another Baby? Britney Spears 2.0: Jamie Lynn Spears Wants Another Baby?

Is she really wanting to keep up with big sister Britney Spears? Jamie Lynn, is only 17 years old and just delivered Maddie Briann on June 19, but the report claims that she has been seeking the advice of big sis Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline about her nephews Sean and Jayden, who are one year apart.

"Jamie Lynn is so taken with her little girl she wants to give her a sibling, preferably a sister, as soon as possible," revealed a source. "Like Britney's kids, she wants her babies to be about a year apart so they can grow up close to one another. She said, 'How cute would it be for them to be dressed the same?'  She's been asking Kevin about how his boys get along."

The former "Zoey 101" star says she was "born to be a mom," revealed the source. "She said she knows she can handle two or three kids and wants to be a young mom." But Jamie Lynn may have a tough time convincing Maddie's dad, 19 year old Casey Aldridge, to have another child, according to the source cited in the magazine. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enricbr1989 (talk • contribs) 23:38, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

If it's just a rumor, then no it shouldn't be in the actual article about her. A rumor is not a verified fact. 76.178.134.37 (talk) 04:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Married In 2004
Jamie Lynn Spears being married in 2004 doesn't seem right. If you think about it, she would have only been 13 when she got married and I doubt that. Can we get a verification on this? Mr. C.C. (talk) 00:40, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Missing section.
The pregnancy section was apparently removed at some point, and replaced by some stupid remark concerning said pregnancy. The stupid remark was removed (along with many others since that particular revision), but the pregnancy section was never re-added. What's the deal? That's a pretty important part of her life I'd say, shouldn't it be added back? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.84.9.57 (talk) 02:41, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

yea i mean come on she has a baby that baby is never going to go anywhere. she will have it for the rest of it life. --80.233.129.210 (talk) 12:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Weasel Terms
To me, these phrases and terms gives me the impression that this is more of a fan article because these phrases put some popularity spin on the subject of the article. As advised in Avoid weasel words, Remove any doubt about the intent of this article by eliminating the weasel phrases. Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"She is best known for starring in the Nickelodeon television series Zoey 101." Best known by whom? This would be best if it simply stated the fact She starred in the Nickelodeon ....". For all we know from this article she may be best known by two or two million people.  Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"She also did many On-Air Dares" - what is "many" - two, twenty, two thousand? Simply state how many in terms that can be verified. Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"had to do many "disgusting acts" - again, what is many, simply give the number. By the way, using citations that use weasal words is another form of weaseling. Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"it drew a larger number of viewers aged 9-14 than any premiere on the network in the preceding eight years.[4]" - What makes up a larger number, two people or two million? Which network? This links to a reference that seems reputable, Reuters, however, it is a press release by Nickelodian. Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"Jamie Lynn is currently set to be starring " - when was currently? Better to say simply "as of MMMM, dd, yyyy".Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

"Although unconfirmed" - Unconfirmed is simply not wiki. Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Advertising
"In March 2009, it was confirmed via Spears' official newsletter that she was recording a Country album due for a late 2009 release. She is currently unsigned at this time, but is meeting with labels.It was soon confirmed that she will be recording a country album due late 2009. She reportedly recorded a cover of The Fray's You Found Me which may premiere sometime soon to launch her music career into the public eye." I don't beleive this has any relevance other than to let fans know what to expect and to come back to this article for more information about availability.Pknkly (talk) 07:08, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Name?
There is so much wrong with this article that this may be trivial, however: Is it Jamie Lynn or Jamie-Lynn?Lowellt (talk) 19:06, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe it was vandalized when you saw it, but Britney's sister's name is definitely Jamie Lynn (without the dash). Her father is Jamie Spears and her mother Lynn, so they basically named their third and last child as a combination of their names. She is not Jamie Spears; when news outlets mention that, it's their father. 75.4.225.0 (talk) 04:54, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Stagnant Career
I can't seem to find anything regarding here career since her pregnacy. Did Nick' just pull the plug on her after the scandal?
 * If you really wanted to know, Jamie Lynn hasn't done much in Hollywood since she became pregnant. She popped with Casey and I've yet to have heard any new music/film material since 2007. I think she's either taking a long hiatus or gone for good. ★ Dasani ★ 00:23, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Need new picture
I hate the photo she's with someone else who got cut out if you go to Google images there's much better pics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pretty Girl 101 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sure there are, however, we can't use them. We are obligated to use public domain or free-use images only. So go take a picture of her yourself and donate it here. Wildhartlivie (talk) 17:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Crazy!
Are you crazy! How will i take a picture of her! Isn't there a gallery. Ahhhh! I'm so mad right now! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pretty Girl 101 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm just explaining to you how we obtain the photos being used. And there is a gallery on Wikimedia Commons, this is the best photo there is. How do you think we get the pictures that are used? Wildhartlivie (talk) 16:26, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * i also think a new pic is needed--Gerty (talk) 12:24, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Her name is Jamie-Lynn Marie Spears.
Can someone change it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.50.8.156 (talk) 05:31, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not without a very reliable source. Wildhartlivie (talk) 06:06, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Mikala19, 31 January 2011
as of may 2010 spears has been considering attending university but no officail announcement has been made yet.

Mikala19 (talk) 00:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. And when "official announcement" is made, then we can consider including the info; however, even then, it's unlikely that the information of intent to go to college would be enough to include in the article. In any event, we can't even consider adding anything without reliable sources. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Turning on autoarchiving
This talk page is extremely long, so I'm going to set-up auto-archiving. This will automatically move all threads older than 90 days to an archive of this page, so that it is easier to navigate and tell which conversations are current. If anyone objects, please let me know. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:42, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Wikipedia talk pages aren't a place to ask questions about the topics of the article. You may want to try asking at the reference desk, as they may be able to find the information; they often don't have these kind of personal details, though. Qwyrxian (talk) 00:40, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

New Picture
I think we need a new picture of Jamie. The current picture is very old and isn't as good as possible. Can anyone upload a new one. --Simon.hess (talk) 19:43, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You are welcome to upload a picture if you have one. Please note that pictures of living people must be in the public domain or CC-BY-SA licensed; we may not use copyrighted pictures of living people in pretty much any circumstance (that is, fair-use doesn't apply to living people). Qwyrxian (talk) 00:49, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * That is the problem. I have not any pictures of her at my own and I couldn't find any images on flicker under a free licence of Jamie. Maybe anyone else have a picture or find one in the internet and can upload it here. --Simon.hess (talk) 05:34, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * It's highly unlikely that any picture found on the internet would be free; pretty much, the picture would need to have been personally taken by the uploader. Be careful when considering pictures from flicker or other places that claim to be free--in some cases, those sites may themselves by committing copyright infringement.  Whenever we see a picture that claims to be free, but doesn't actually seem to be free, we should usually search through a large image search (Google image usually suffices) to make sure it's not up somewhere else as copyrighted, and, in general, to err on the side of caution. Qwyrxian (talk) 05:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The copyright rights on wikipedia are clear to me. I just wanted to ask if someone can upload a picture of her. Because of the low quality of the current image. --Simon.hess (talk) 10:57, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Nashville not 'with her sister'
Jamie Lynn Spears does not live in California with her sister. She currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee.

This is cited on her recently updated website: www.jamielynnspears.com and on her official twitter (linked from her website) www.twitter.com/jamielynnspears.

She is also newly signed to Tri-star artists, after recently being added to their website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.138.7 (talk) 23:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

I represent Jamie Lynn Spears from Tri Star Sports & Entertainment Group and she does in fact live in Nashville, TN and has since 2010.

Is there a way to add that she has been living in Nashville, TN since 2010. This can be verified through her Twitter and Facebook accounts. www.jamielynnspears.com www.twitter.com/jamielynnspears- Morgan@Tristarse.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by Morgantristarse (talk • contribs) 16:18, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Yes, please change her location to Nashville now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.138.7 (talk) 00:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC) are you kdding me? this is all false! she does not have second child

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. If you have a reliable source, please post it here, and change the "answered" flag in the above template to "no". However, please note that if this is just rumored, or speculative, then we can't add it. Only officially confirmed info would really be appropriate, and even that needs to be measured against the likelihood of it occurring. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:10, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Verified Twitter
Jamie's twitter (www.twitter.com/jamielynnspears) has now been verified and made official. It should be linked under her photo and mentioned in her bio. And the fact she now resides in Nashville, Tennessee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.205.48.152 (talk) 18:44, 12 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No, we already have a link to her official page. In general, we should only provide a link to one page directly controlled by the subject, and we prefer an actual page to a social networking site.  A twitter feed would generally only be used if either the person had no "regular" website, or if the person was particularly famous because of their twittering.  Qwyrxian (talk) 00:31, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

There is no reason the twitter account can't be linked from the article. I can reference countless wikipedia articles where youtube videos are linked up and/or several fan sites are.

To say a source that's archived by the library of congress should not be would only be your opinion.Woods01 (talk) 00:27, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
