Etheridge
Howdy! Noticed you were doing some good work at Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels including the addition of an external link to a blog from Michaels' page. Because blogs can be controversial (see WP:EL), is there a reference that confirms this is Ms. Michaels' blog (i.e. MEIN); such a ref would really help allay any concerns that it might not actually be hers. If you have such a ref, just add it where you put the paragraph in her personal life section. Thanks!

Thanks.
 * okay thanks!--Larrybet 02:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I was hoping for a more official reference - blogs are not considered reliable sources (see WP:RS), that's why I suggested MelissaEtheridge.com, formerly known as MEIN. Zue Jay (talk)  03:04, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * oh, okay. i didn't know what that was.--Larrybet 03:06, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hehehe... Oh. Sigh. Okay. Here's the thing, I was suggesting you search that website to see where it says that the blog really belongs to Michaels. An official, reliable kind of news source needs to be cited that definitively connects Michaels to the blog. I mean, I could go out into cyberspace now and start a blog claiming I'm some famous Joe Schmoe and there would be no proof that I was, or was not, that individual. So baisically, we need a definitive, at least, one-liner that says this is hers - and it can't be another blog. I might have a source to this effect, but I have doubts about its reliability. Gotta remember that biographies need to conform to WP:BLP - I find it makes them both exciting and scary to work on! Zue Jay (talk)  03:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * oh, i see. Sorry! what about this one? or can it just say citation needed for now?--Larrybet 03:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm... They've all read as if the same "news article" by WENN whether they are a blog or not. Why don't you add that to the one that is there for now - perhaps something more concrete will turn up in the future. It certainly appears - simply by a concensus, or majority, on the Internet - that it is Michaels' blog. Zue Jay (talk)  03:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
