== Reorganization proposal ==

Since we have articles for both albums and the discography now, perhaps a reorganization to make room for new accomplishments?
:Instead of posting the entire thing here, you should have done it in a user-space subpage, or as a draft. [[User:AlexTheWhovian|<span style="color:#102372">'''Alex'''</span>]]&#124;[[User talk:AlexTheWhovian#top|<span style="color:#102372">''The''</span>]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/AlexTheWhovian|<span style="color:#102372">'''Whovian'''</span>]] 05:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
:: I did that with the discography posted above, it sat for a couple year and somebody else did the discography from scratch. I just got around to moving the infobox over today.
:: The talk page is generally where changes are discussed, I think this will be the easiest place to remember where the discussion is occurring. We can always archive this page when we are done. --Cheers-- [[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 05:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
:::Yes, discuss it here, but create the proposed article in a sandbox or userspace subpage. Such a large content dump is not required here , you can easily link elsewhere while keeping the discussion itself here. I recommend that you take this course of action immediately.

:::: How's this Mr. immediately? [[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 06:01, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
:::::Sure, that works. [[User:AlexTheWhovian|<span style="color:#102372">'''Alex'''</span>]]&#124;[[User talk:AlexTheWhovian#top|<span style="color:#102372">''The''</span>]]&#124;[[Special:Contributions/AlexTheWhovian|<span style="color:#102372">'''Whovian'''</span>]] 06:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
:::::: Okay, at least we have a semi-static area to discuss what needs to be moved to where, there is a lot here and I'm not the most well versed on Stirling's career.  I don't want to start anything without buy-in from the interested parties. --Cheers-- [[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 06:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Maybe the interested parties could do a section in their own sandboxes and use strike though in this copy to show what content they have reused.  The career section is empty, but really should be composed, I think a ton of this stuff could be condensed there. If we get all of the sections defined, when people drop off factoids, the article will stay organized. [[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 05:34, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

* I started a '''draft article''' for reorganization and move relevant content, nothing is set in concrete. Each section really needs to be re-written in prose. [[User:009o9/Draft Stirling reduex]] Please feel free to edit there -- Cheers -- [[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 23:24, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

===Career===

====Dancing====
From a young age, Stirling had a fascination for dance, and wanted to take both dancing and violin lessons. In an interview with ''[[NewMediaRockstars]]'', she said, "...ever since I was a kid, I've always wished that I could dance, but my parents said, 'You [can] choose violin or you [can] choose dance, but we can't afford both', and I chose violin. So this is kind of a fulfillment&nbsp;– it's funny to say, but this is something I've always wanted to do."<ref>{{cite news |url= http://newmediarockstars.com/2013/10/lindsey-stirling-talks-competing-on-danceons-dance-showdown-season-3-new-album-interview/ |title= Lindsey Stirling Talks Competing on DanceOn's 'Dance Showdown' Season 3, New Album |work= New Media Rockstars |first= Jeff |last= Kliva |date= October 30, 2013 |publisher= [[NewMediaRockstars]] |accessdate= 2014-12-05 }}</ref>

She impressed the judges on ''America's Got Talent'', not only by mixing hip-hop and classical music on the violin, but by incorporating dancing with playing the violin, which she also does on her tours and official music videos. On a live-chat Stirling explained: "It is very unnatural to dance while playing the violin. I had to practice so hard to learn how to do it but now it is part of my expression and it comes naturally. I have to know a song perfectly before I can even begin to move. Once I know a song really well I can then have fun dancing." Not only in her performances, but also with her music, dancing made a huge impact: "I loved dance music so I started with that and wrote Transcendence, Electric Daisy and Spontaneous Me."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reddit.com/user/lindsey_stirling |title=Overview for lindsey_stirling |work=Reddit.com |accessdate=January 27, 2014}}</ref>

In October 2013, Stirling announced she would take part in season three of ''[[Dance Showdown]]'', a dance competition web series created by DanceOn where the winner is awarded {{USD|50000}}.<ref>{{cite news |url= http://www.tubefilter.com/2013/10/24/lindsey-stirling-sam-pepper-season-3-dance-showdown-d-trix-danceon/ |title= Lindsey Stirling, Sam Pepper Among 'Dance Showdown' Season 3 Guests |publisher= [[Tubefilter]] |first= Sam |last= Gutelle |date= October 24, 2013 |accessdate= January 27, 2014 }}</ref> Stirling was the second of three finalists, but didn't win the fifty thousand dollars despite receiving critical acclaim on her three performances with her partner Anze Skrube. One of the three judges, [[Laurieann Gibson]], classified her second performance as "one of the best" in ''Dance Showdown'' and the last one as the best she had ever seen.

====<s>2010–12:</s> ''America's Got Talent'' <s> and debut studio album</s>====

In 2010, at the age of 23, Stirling was a quarter-finalist on [[America's Got Talent (season 5)|season five]] of ''[[America's Got Talent]]'', where she was described as a "hip hop violinist".<ref name="hercampus" /><ref name="nbc1" /> Stirling's performances were dubbed "electrifying" by the judges, and won the acclaim of the audience, but after she attempted to step up the dance level in her quarter-final performance, judge [[Piers Morgan]] told her: "You're not untalented, but you're not good enough to get away with flying through the air and trying to play the violin at the same time."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Masley|first1=Ed|title=TV series spotlights Gilbert violinist Lindsey Stirling|url=http://www.azcentral.com/story/entertainment/music/2014/12/09/lindsey-stirling-tv-special-song-ovation/20142007/|website=azcentral|publisher=Gannett Satellite Information Network, Inc.|accessdate=8 February 2015|date=9 December 2014}}</ref> [[Sharon Osbourne]] commented: "You need to be in a group. ...

It was painful, and a bit humiliating; however, I had to relearn where it was that I drew my strength."<ref name="www.independent.com" /><ref name="lindseystirling.com" /> Stirling decided to continue to embrace her unique style of performance, promoting herself on the Internet. In a 2012 interview she remarked: "A lot of people have told me along the way that my style and the music I do ... is unmarketable. But the only reason I'm successful is because I have stayed true to myself."<ref name="Daily Mail 2012-08-09" />

'''Move to videos section in discography?'''Shortly after her performance on ''America's Got Talent'', cinematographer [[Devin Graham]] contacted her in hopes of making a YouTube video together. They agreed to shoot a music video for her song, "Spontaneous Me". It was filmed the week of May 9, 2011. The video boosted Stirling's popularity, and she began making music videos for her YouTube channel regularly. Graham has filmed almost all of her videos, while Stirling often does backup camera work and assists with his music videos. Stirling's YouTube channel, Lindseystomp, which she created in 2007 and which is named after her first band Stomp on Melvin, is the main repository for her music videos. During 2011, the channel rapidly gained popularity and has over 1&nbsp;billion total views and over six million subscribers, {{As of|2015|6|lc=on}}.<ref name="YouTubeStats" /> Her music is featured on [[Pandora Radio|Pandora]], [[Spotify]], and [[Last.FM]].<ref name="last.fm" /> Stirling also created a second YouTube channel, LindseyTime, in September 2012, in which she posts videos related to her life, [[video blog|vlog]]s, behind-the-scenes content, etc.

== College Graduation -- Propose Education section ==

Until some of the sections get condensed, I think we might continue to get people coming by to drop off the graduation news in various locations. For instance, I moved one of the mentions to Early life because she started the degree young and 28 is still pretty young to me.

Should we do an '''Education''' section so that people can readily find the news? --Cheers--[[User:009o9|009o9]] ([[User talk:009o9|talk]]) 04:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

== Lindsey Stirling 2012/2013 Tour ==

For those interesting in Lindsey Stirling, there is an ongoing draft for her 2012/2013 Tour: [[Draft:Lindsey Stirling 2012/2013 Tour]]. Much of the information is from copy-pasting the 2014/2015 Tour article, and needs to be replaced.

== Appearance on ''Good Mythical Morning'' ==

The ''Good Mythical Morning'' show doesn't have a stand-alone article on Wikipedia, so I presume it's not notable. The burden is on anyone else to prove that the show is notable. Also, I have a big problem with using the YouTube video as the source. That's a primary source because it's the YouTube channel of the show. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than a blatant attempt to further boost viewership of not only that video but also to promote the show using Lindsey's article, hoping to increase the number of subscribers. How can you justify having a primary source for this information? Furthermore, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and having watched the entire video, I fail to see the educational value of this information. Did you watch the video? You need to watch more than seven minutes of it in order to confirm that the claim is true. I don't see the point in mentioning her appearance on that show. [[User:Dontreader|Dontreader]] ([[User talk:Dontreader|talk]]) 02:39, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

:As expected, I cannot find an independent reliable source that talks about Lindsey's appearance on the show. Clearly it's a non-notable event, unless my search missed an independent reliable source. So we've got two guys with a very successful YouTube show, and Lindsey was invited on the show to judge them dancing in an <s>imbecilic</s> comedic manner. Who cares? Is this worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia? [[User:Dontreader|Dontreader]] ([[User talk:Dontreader|talk]]) 03:00, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

== Dota 2 TI6 Appearance ==

I don't have all the facts, but Lindsey Stirling was part of the opening ceremony for Dota 2's The International 6, which is incredibly widely known. It should probably be mentioned somewhere. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZdT-dlzu8E Here] is a link to the performance.[[Special:Contributions/173.78.82.117|173.78.82.117]] ([[User talk:173.78.82.117|talk]]) 18:52, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

== Singer? ==

I'm curious why the page says that Lindsey is a singer? As far as I can remember, she used her voice mostly in medleys/covers like Thrift Shop, Assassin's Creed and Lord of the Rings, Silent Night and one original song Stars Align where she only did some background stuff or said just a few words. Is that enough to consider someone a singer or am I missing something? Regards, [[User:mrDoctorWho|<span style="color:#0078a8">mrDoctorWho</span>]] 08:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

:[[User:mrDoctorWho|mrDoctorWho]], I agree with you. I don't think Lindsey is notable as a singer, although I haven't been following her career for almost a year now. The claim in the lead section that she is a singer is not supported by the provided source [http://www.classicalite.com/articles/780/20121106/billboard-topping-violinist-lindsey-stirling-tours-us-california-portland-seattle-vancouver-youtube.htm]. Instead, it reads, "Lindsey Striling is a solo violinist, composer and dancer." Without a reliable source stating that she is a singer I believe that claim should be removed. The infobox has the same problem because we see violin and vocals in the Instruments field, but that seems to be a mistake according to [[Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument]], which reads, "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to ''only'' those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a [[WP:COATRACK]] for every instrument the subject has ever used." So I really think you have a strong point unless a reliable source is found that claims she is a singer. [[User:Dontreader|Dontreader]] ([[User talk:Dontreader|talk]]) 15:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
::Don't please get me wrong — I don't want unchecked info in Wikipedia — but I think we first need to see what the new album brings. When Lindsey was answering fans' questions, back in 2015, I remember she told that she's actually planning to start singing. [[User:mrDoctorWho|<span style="color:#0078a8">mrDoctorWho</span>]] 15:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

So, the new album [[Brave Enough]] has been released yesterday. And as far as I can judge, Lindsey is still not a singer. I want to remove this title from the page. Any objections? — [[User:mrDoctorWho|<span style="color:#0078a8">mrDoctorWho</span>]] 13:36, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, Lindsey is actually a singer. She has a single named Firefly where she actually sings. However, I could not find anything about it, it not seems to be available to purchase or download. This video is all I could find as a proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhdCT6ZtD50. Could anyone else find something or this video is enough to put the singer title back to page? —[[User:mrDoctorWho|<span style="color:#0078a8">mrDoctorWho</span>]] 13:11, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

* It appears she sang it for the [[Barbie: Star Light Adventure]] film, according to description on this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM23DRUsjU video]. —[[User:mrDoctorWho|<span style="color:#0078a8">mrDoctorWho</span>]] 13:25, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

She's not on this list because she's not born before 1980.

== Eating disorder ==

Hi, Lindsey Stirling recently did an interview where she talks about her struggles with eating disorder (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grxbFqp14bo), I think this would be good to add to the page. Just putting this here as a note.  <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/80.42.85.8|80.42.85.8]] ([[User talk:80.42.85.8#top|talk]]) 12:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Singer ==

Years ago, after [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_Enough "Brave Enough"], there was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Lindsey_Stirling/Archive_2#Singer? "a debate about whether to include that Lindsey Stirling is a singer"].  At that point, it nearly left in because of the Firefly video on the YouTube verified account Barbie<ref>{{cite web |title="Firefly" Lyric Video featuring Lindsey Stirling - Star Light Adventure - Barbie |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiM23DRUsjU |date=July 21, 2016 |publisher=Barbie |accessdate=December 4, 2018 }}</ref>, but was left out because although the voice was identifiable as her, the video description itself did not clarify whether Lindsey was only playing the violin, or also singing.  A lot has changed since then.  It's no longer occasional singing during live performances, and small vocal segments on released songs.  In the past 2 years, Lindsey always sings at concerts now.  Lindsey has confirmed that although she wants to primarily be known as a violinist, she has been taking vocal lessons; although her original intent for lessons was to improve singing at concerts, she really liked how she progressed and released "Warmer in the Winter" and "Santa Baby" with her singing rather than getting someone else.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lindsey Stirling Talks Balancing Lightness And Darkness On Her No. 1 Christmas Album |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/caitlinkelley/2018/11/05/lindsey-stirling-christmas-album/#6d8cdcab4a36 |date=November 5, 2018 |publisher=Forbes |accessdate=December 4, 2018 |author=Caitlin Kelley }}</ref>  Lindsey confirmed she sang Firefly, as it was released on the Pledge Music pre-order of Brave Enough.<ref>[https://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/lindseystirling2/updates/72126 "Pledge Music Brave Enough Project, Lindsey Stirling Update"]</ref>  On [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warmer_in_the_Winter "Warmer in the Winter"], she sang "Warmer in the Winter".<ref>{{cite web |title=Warmer in the Winter |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvbo9w5Exyw |date=October 19, 2017 |publisher=Lindsey Stirling Verified YouTube Channel |accessdate=December 4, 2018 |author=Lindsey Stirling }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Lindsey Stirling-Warmer in the Winter Live (Acoustic) |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWYbuPytorE |date=May 30, 2018 |accessdate=December 4, 2018 }}</ref>  On the 2018 deluxe edition of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warmer_in_the_Winter "Warmer in the Winter"], she sang "I Wonder As I Wander"<ref>{{cite web |title=I Wonder As I Wander |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rR8jc6EPQM |date=October 19, 2018 |publisher=Lindsey Stirling Verified YouTube Channel |accessdate=December 4, 2018 |author=Lindsey Stirling }}</ref> and "Santa Baby"<ref>{{cite web |title=Santa Baby |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-oxagtRO7A |date=November 29, 2018 |publisher=Lindsey Stirling Verified YouTube Channel |accessdate=December 4, 2018 |author=Lindsey Stirling }}</ref>.

*Likewise, a press release is calling Stirling a dancer now; should we go ahead and add that? —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 19:52, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

== Cross dominance/oculular dominance ==

Is there a reason that 'cross-dominance' links to 'ocular dominance' rather than the article for cross-dominance? It seems counter-intuitive to me.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Dstar3k|Dstar3k]] ([[User talk:Dstar3k#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dstar3k|contribs]]) 01:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Bibliography ==

Should we add a bibliography section? She wrote her autobiography (The Only Pirate at the party) and was at least involved in the Artemis comics and maybe other books. Please don't link to the article for her autobiography as it is just a redirect to this page.[[User:Nerd66|Nerd66]] ([[User talk:Nerd66|talk]]) 19:47, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

I agree, I will look into adding this. [[User:Hopscotch27|Hopscotch27]] ([[User talk:Hopscotch27|talk]]) 09:59, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
