Talk:Joanna Jordan (talent booker)

"Early life" section
I have removed this section as it is only cited to a single source. Although normally I've got no issue with The Guardian and is one of my favourite news sources to cite, the information here is cited to a single celebrity-gossip type piece from 2002. I don't mind re-adding the information if it can all be backed up by another source. In particular, the academic achievements seem to be a bit of a cheap shot - our article on The Zombies, who were at one point chastised in the press for having an atypical number of O-Levels for a "beat combo", doesn't even mention that.

 * , I have no objection to removing it, but my feeling from the piece was that the 'dismal O-levels' sounded like it came from Jordan? In the US, if someone very successful was described as having flunked out of high school, it could totally be seen as "so kids, don't worry if you aren't academically-oriented, you can still end up on top!" —valereee (talk) 22:56, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, but that was a single piece in 2002; if it was important to mention, a more recent source ought to have brought it up. Indeed, I'm struggling to find any source written about her in the last ten years. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  23:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * , same on recent pieces, and I did look. Let's leave off the O-levels, it was just a fun fact —valereee (talk) 00:09, 27 October 2020 (UTC)

Updated Logo
CTB have a new Logo and I was wondering how to get this uploaded to Wikipedia. Any help would be appreciated.

Find the logo here on their website: https://centraltalentbooking.com/ And LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/centraltalentbooking/

The logo was produced by Fredrik Carlström for the use of CTB. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoelyFox (talk • contribs) 11:14, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , I'm not sure the previous use of that logo was fair use. I've removed it for now. If you'd like to upload a photo of Jordan that you personally took (all images must be uploaded by the copyright holder) that would be better. You can upload at Wikimedia Commons. Let me know here if you do so and the filename. —valereee (talk) 00:17, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Hey, ! Welcome to Wikipedia. The first source is already used in the article -- did you want to use it to add something further? The second source, Televisual, I haven't heard of before -- that article has the feel of a press release? If that article is basically a reprint of a press release, we can't use it. Sources for Wikipedia must be independent reliable sources, and we have strict guidelines for deciding whether a source is reliable. You can read them at WP:RS.


 * CTB's own site can be used on a very limited basis for noncontroversial facts. Things like the date a company was formed, or how many employees or locations it has. What were you wanting to use those sources for?


 * You'll need to declare your conflict of interest w/re this article on your user talk. There are instructions at WP:COI. You can ask for assistance with that at WP:Teahouse, which is a help desk for newer editors. —valereee (talk) 20:51, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Ongoing UPE
I've semi'd this for a week because of ongoing UPE over multiple years. It may be necessary to keep extending and lengthening this protection, as the article subject continues to send in editors to tweak the article to her preferred version. Valereee (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
 * At least they make it blatantly obvious, which is always nice. Canterbury Tail talk 19:47, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
