Talk:Jessica Simpson/Archive 1

Missing iraq Footage
can anyone make an article section about this? I mean it's very intresting, she WENT TO IRAQ and for some reason ABC didn't air it.

She went to Iraq??? WHAT???? Please provide some kind of proof of this, it's the first time I've heard of something like this. Capt.Nero

Butt goes flat??
Is this really needed for an encyclopedia? Was this ever a "frenzy"? One short article is referenced, this doesn't make a "frenzy" by my definition. What are other's thoughts? Dismas|(talk) 14:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * This was all over the press --Archier 15:56, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


 * This has no significance whatsoover. Also, even if the story is mentioned, I don't accept the idea of having an entire section titled "Butt goes flat".  --rob 22:04, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

This is not of any relevance to the article. The "butt flat" thing is a tabloid story that has no significance to biographical and factual information about Jessica Simpson. This page is for educational purposes, not entertainment. --qlkbz 10:30, 1 November 2006 (CST)

nicer photos?
does anyone have a nicer photo of jessica? the lead pic doesn't do her justice


 * I put the pic there, and I'll be honest, it's not her best. It's main attribute, is that it's a public domain picture.  Having 6 out of 6 images copyrighted, seemed like a stretch of "fair use".  If somebody does change the lead pic, I would ask that the old photo be kept in the article (it's the only one for her USO tour which is a signficant thing she's done).  Also, if a "fair use" image is used as replacement, it should have a good tie-in with the content of the article (not just look pretty).  Although, ideally, we can find an even better PD picture.  --rob 21:06, 15 September 2005 (UTC)


 * do you guys know what the limits are on fair use for something like this?  Norah Jones and Madonna both have non-PD images up.  Image:Norahjonesandoldcarpicture.jpg has a copyright notice there.   maybe we could just move this PD simpson pic down a bit.


 * Actually, I don't know the limits, and I think few do. There seems to have been a substantial increase in efforts to remove many fairuse images from wikipedia (I know this is old news to some).  A couple were speedy deleted from this article already.  Currently, the target is unknown sources, or ones with no appropriate tag.  But, it sounds like even greater restrictions may occur on fairuse.  It's actually, a mistake to go by "precident" of other uses of fairuse images, since lots of them may get deleted, it seems.     I think the Image:Norahjonesandoldcarpicture.jpg, as a fairuse image, which isn't an album cover, is probably an example of what not to have, if/when there are PD options available.  --rob 02:52, 20 September 2005 (UTC)


 * I rethought the pic, and decided that even though the album cover looked nicer, the album cover belongs with discussion of the album, in order to qualify as fairuse. Hopefully somebody can find an even better PD or GFDL image.  --rob 11:02, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

The second picture sucks. Looks like she's been crying all day. A better picture could have been put up. ChesterG 03:46, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

why the reorg
this used to be nicely broken into music and on screen career, but now everything is under music, even "newlyweds" and "dukes". was there any good reason for this? -69.110.60.249 21:19, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Vocal profile removal
I came upon the page from Recent Changes and found multiple changes of the 'Vocal Profile' section. None of them appeared to have a source, so I just cut it. If anyone can give a source (or if they did and I missed it like an idiot), feel free to re-add the section. Deltabeignet 17:37, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
