Why do they let you have input on these pages and then not verify why they're not using your information?

 * Assuming you are talking about my edits to the Expose' page, I did make mention of it--there's a discussion page to discuss these changes. You made several edits to the articles in question without following standards of style and had grammatical errors.  Plus there were comments that don't fit the encyclopedia style, such as this "The new and very strong line up of Jeanette, Gioia and Ann walked into a great situation that was already put in motion by the original girls and producers."  That's more commentary and opinion than anything else.  Plus, too much information about a single member belongs on that member's page (or on their own home pages).

 * Since you are new and just to clarify, there are some polices to follow, such as WP:MUSIC and WP:NPOV. You'll note I've also made edits to other sections of the bio.  This has to be encyclopedic.  I'll see if I can add a few of your edits to the page. JRT (talk) 00:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help.. Just wanted to have all the pertinent information about the history of the group. I know you don't do that on your site but this is different and I appreciate your help. I would appreciate you changing what you said about me being a Cabaret style performer... I am a headlining performer who does her own act. There's a big difference between singing in a casual Cabaret/Lounge and headlining in the theater. It would also be nice to include Frank Diaz and Pantera records(40/40 Studio).He was the driving force behind Expose' ever being created. He was the one who chose Point Of No Return as our first single. I know this may be too much information for this particular site. Thank you for the posting about Sandra on the Epistle...

Did you create this page? Is that why you have the final say on what is posted? Also I realize and appreciate that you understand the proper procedure and code for entering in this format... Thanks again.Will143 (talk) 18:37, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Laurie. I don't have "final say", since everybody can edit it, but I'm probably the one who cares the most and also the one trying to work within the WP rules (and the one who is used to editing)--opinions and subjective viewpoint are left for my site and yours.  I don't believe I wrote that part about you--the article existed before and several people expanded it.  I didn't realize using the term cabaret might be considered a negative thing, I can certainly fix that.  FYI, when editing, I'm not trying to hide information, but just make sure it's concise.  (I've tried to stick to one sentence for each member post Expose', not listing everything everybody ever did outside of the group).  Keep in mind I also have made changes to things like Gioia's entry (there were two paragraphs which were verbatim from a press release).  I actually got into an "editing spurt".  I also try to take care of this article because if it gets written badly, an admin might really chop it up--newspaper and book references are sorely needed.  (For instance, somebody deleted the links to your page in the past, I restored them because they were relevant and you didn't have a solo page).


 * BTW--I did try to create an article on you after the edits, but it was deleted shortly afterwards. I think I can create a WP article for you if you could give me some actual Billboard chart positions for any of your solo work--the Dance charts, etc, similar to Gioia's and Sandee's.  That would probably satisfy WP's notability requirement.  Also, fair warning, there's a rule regarding autobiographies WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, so writing about yourself on either of these entries could be challenged.  Some people try to use Wikipedia for self-promotion and the site really frowns on that.  JRT (talk) 20:23, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I've made a few edits, adding a few facts about you. I mentioned Frank Diaz as well--Diaz is also mentioned on Gioia's page.

Hello.. again... thank you for all your work... I do appreciate it. I'd love to chat with you sometime in a more conducive situation ... Thank you for being so open and inclusive of "me". Laurie cell 305 582 5477
