Talk:Kidada Jones

Untitled
I've endeavored to clean this article up a bit. It's not perfect but I've attempted to remove some things which might be construed as biased and less encyclopedic. Any suggestions, tips, further improvements are welcome.

She was married and divorced in the same year? Whoever wrote this biography needs to take classes on grammar.

It might be interesting to work in a little information about her relationship with Tupac Shakur prior to his death. unak  1978  16:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Ethnic background
There were various categories referring to Kidada Jones as Jewish, as well as categories averring Russian and Welsh descent, none of which were sourced or even present in the text. I know her mother is Jewish, but that does not make her Jewish necessarily, and I am not an anti-Semite or self-hating Jew. I just like accuracy and precision.

Why is there a difference in ethic background between Kidada & Rashida? You say on Rashida's wiki page her father is western african decent and Cherokee but you don't do that for Kidada. They have the same parents quincy & Peggy why are the background of their ethic background different. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.57.39.66 (talk) 16:15, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Peggy Lipton is her mother and is Jewish and you clearly state that on Rashida's wiki page and Quincy Jones is African American. Just because one is darker and the other is lighter does not mean you have to treat one with less description of their parents.

Also Kidada was married to Jeffrey Nash, actor in February, 2003 and divorced two years later. He is the brother-in-law of Forrest Whitaker. This information comes from her mother's autobiography and a magazine article I read entitled" ARe you white or are you black? Also if you google Jeffrey Nash its listed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martiek (talk • contribs) 18:22, 21 November 2010 (UTC)


 * In order to add religion, ethnic, or descent categories or information to biography articles you must ensure that 1) the category is supported by reliably sourced article content, 2) the individual identifies as such, and 3) it is a defining characteristic of the individual .

re personal life section
Hi there I reverted you for two reasons; the citation - its a bit messed up in several ways. I could fix the formatting, but I think the date may be off as well. Vanity Fair is published monthly, so you wouldnt put a day date on a print magazine citation- it would be just (September 2013). However, I think that may be wrong - Vanity Fair had a big 100 years celebration issue that was published that month, in which they seem to have republished a lot of old stories. Although "die like a gangsta" isnt listed on the index webpage, I assume thats where you got the September 2013 date from. They clearly state the original story was published in the March 1997 issue here.

Which brings me to the second point- the text "Jones was waiting for Shakur in their Las Vegas hotel room when she was notified he was shot. She rushed to the hospital and remained with him until he died six days later" isnt altogether supported by that citation. The article doesnt mention who or how or when she was notified. You might be better to write "Jones was waiting for Shakur in their Las Vegas hotel room when he was shot." but not really the rest. Then the article skips to describing Jones playing a CD for Shakur in hospital; it doesnt mention her rushing anywhere, and while it specifically mentions one visit, it makes no mention of duration and doesnt say she stayed with him night and day until his death. Quite possibly she she did, however the article doesnt say that, so you cannot use it to say that it does. I can help with the cite formatting if you need it. Curdle (talk) 15:11, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

re personal life section again
A Youtube clip uploaded in 2013 with no information as to exactly when this ten minute excerpt of a much longer interview took place, of a celebrity stating he is not ready to be married (ie refusing to give an interviewer details of his private life) is not enough to base statements, or implications in wikipedia's voice that a subject of a BLP is lying. The language being used eg. "Jones claimed" etc, implies that she is not telling the truth. In addition, statements like "nobody ever saw a ring on her finger" are both completely unsupported and WP:OR. There is however an in depth profile on his life and death, cited from a WP:RS that clearly states they were engaged at the time of his death. If you have anything from a WP:RS that disputes this, please bring it here to discuss.
