Jeanie Beadle
Hi there, just wanted to let you know that it is not considered good practice on wikipedia to create and edit articles about people you are closely connected with (ie your parents!). This is considered a conflict of interest as it is pretty hard to maintain a neutral point of view (an important wiki policy) about someone you are related to.

That said, the article as it stands is ok and there is a decent level of notability (in my opinion - others may view it differently) so I have not tagged it with a conflict of interest warning. I have removed the listing of family names as these are largely irrelevant to the article, except for parents and husband (which tend to be ok in an article).

If there is anything else you want to add to the article (actually it could really do with some more published sources, something from LSU on the Hall of Fame would be good) it would probably be best to write it on the talk page instead and I or another editor will add it to the article. This is standard practice in these cases.

Also, remember that focusing on the aspect of Jeanie's life that is considered notable in wikipedia terms (ie her gym career and current work with the hall of fame) is the way to go with this article.

Thanks a lot, hope that all makes sense! Sassf (talk) 13:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
