Talk:Jordyn Wieber

I know Jordyn Wieber
Can I confirm this page? Nuraska (talk) 01:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Consider it confirmed. All Hallow&#39;s Wraith (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

reliable sources
I've supplied 50% of the sources and 100% of the reliable ones. Come on, people! Go do some Googling and put up real sources not just a bio dump from the website. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.246.145.33 (talk) 02:09, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

sourcing the article (discussion)
I have removed the "unsourced" textboxes as we have three good sources now. I think we have the start of sourcing the article and just need to continue in this vein (as such the textboxes are ugly and not really true any more). I think we can add significantly more sourcing, using the following: -USAG (federation) official results pages -Newspapers (esp NYT) -International Gymnast and Inside Gymnast magazine LET'S DO IT! 96.248.6.25 (talk) 19:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Importance rating
I've classified Jordyn Wieber as an article of high importance due to the following criteria; Subject is extremely notable, but has not achieved international notability, or is only notable within a particular continent. This notability is due to her position on the US Women's Gymnastics team for London 2012 in addition to the sheer amount of press coverage in the US (Today Show, TIMES, Sports Illustrated, Rock Center with Brian Williams). This individual does not appear to merit top importance status, however, due to the criteria stating that the subject must be crucial to their field--in this case, artistic gymnastics. Top status is usually reserved for exercise apparatus as well as gymnastics skills, as the notability of gymnasts themselves is inherently location-biased. If anyone does not agree with this evaluation (as I suspect might be the case during and after the Olympic games, dependent upon performance/results), please discuss your concerns here before changing the importance evaluation. This will allow the community to reach consensus in an organized fashion instead of an edit war, which is a relevant fear with the traffic this article will be receiving very soon. Thanks!

 * While these may be good criteria, they are evidently not being applied to other "top importance" articles already in that category. Rmhermen (talk) 04:47, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Gym Mom
Jordyn's mom has an ongoing blog gymmom.net and is promoting her book. I was wondering if that should be listed in the wiki as an external link or perhaps a book section is needed?

Articles supporting existence of book:
 * http://www.mercurynews.com/other-sports/ci_20943316 - San Jose Mercury News article
 * http://usagym.org/pages/post.html?PostID=10322&prog=h - USA Gym article

Rita's website:

Jordyn Wieber's wiki page should not be a bilboard for her mom's book. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.217.64.127 (talk) 21:58, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Blahblah424's picture
I know the person that took the picture from Blahblah424's revision and I am wondering how to get proper copyright info for wikipedia. I think this picture is better than the current one. Zzomtceo (talk) 02:37, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
