Amy Lee received a peer review by Wikipedia editors, which is now archived. It may contain ideas you can use to improve this article.

Amy Lee was nominated as a good article, but it did not meet the good article criteria at the time (July 28, 2006). There are suggestions below for improving the article. If you can improve it, please do; it may then be renominated.

Removed American Christians category

As far as I was able to see, there was no reference to religion in this article. So I went hunting and wasn't able to find anything that would suggest what she considers herself to be. Her page on WikiQuote seems to talk about Christianity in a third-person perspective. "There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience." 'Course, I may be wrong. If someone can provide reasonable citations, let's add it back in. --Brad Beattie (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the reason it is there is because back in the day, they *did* align themselves with the Christian music scene, and Ben and Amy were definitely Christian as well. While they have distanced themselves from the music scene, there has been no indication that they (specifically Amy) have changed their personal philosophies. Check out some of the older references here and in the main Evanescence article, there's plenty to point to Christian roots. I'm not concerned either way, so I'll let you add it back if you feel these reasons are sufficient. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 22:18, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Although i DO agree with Hunster...Amy Lee has said that their music isnt christian, she said "i am a christian person, and it does get into our songs because its from personal experiences BUT i do not write about christianity on purpose" Zacanescence 15:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If she says her music isn't Christian, she is lying, because she spent a good while promoting her music as Christian when she played at TNT nightclub. That said, there isn't anything in the article about that part of her career so maybe I should add it. Im not particulary knowlegeable, but I did live in Arkansas at the time, and attended a few of her shows in early 1999 before she became famous. I have a friend who was a good acquitance of hers however. Anyways, the point is, when I went to her shows I was surrounded by Christians prostelyzing to me, because it was a Christian nightclub. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.202.120.159 (talk • contribs) 20:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

While your contributions would be appreciated, they need to be backed by some quotable source. Also, I believe they acknowledged that they were originally a Christian-esque band, but later on decided to focus more on the mainstream audience. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 03:16, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures Of Amy Lee

Is there a better picture of Amy that we can use because the one up shows her eyebrow peircing and she doesn't have it anymore. Zacanescence 05:20, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sister's Death

I have read in several places that the death of her younger sister was caused by leukemia. Can anyone back this up? NargleFishHat 05:23, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No. Armando.O ^{(talk|contribs)} 17:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carrie Lee

Carrie Lee, is this Amy Lee sister??? Armando.O ^{(talk|contribs)} 23:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I seriously doubt it, else *something* would have been mentioned before now, somewhere in the world of Evanescence. I've certainly seen nothing of that nature. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 03:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Carrie Lee is amy's sister, she sang backups on CMWYS along with amy's other sister Zacanescence 10:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but not that Carrie Lee that Armando linked to above. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 14:05, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contributions to The Damning Well

can we include something about her involvement with the Damning Well? i know that details on that group are sketchy at best, but she's mentioned on its wikipedia page, and i think we should at least link it back though her "other projects". Deutschebag17 05:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, she was involved in what way? Can you locate any verifiable source? She isn't showing up on the Wikipedia article, at least not in its current revision. Please, do not add any such link without a source to back it up. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 08:57, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

got the information off Danny Lohner's page. don't know how verifiable that is, but it is there. Deutschebag17 14:59, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A simple google search revealed that information to be false. While there were two songs recorded by Lee, both were scrapped because of label interferance. I'll see about adding something about this to the article. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 20:20, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

is this true?

i read somewhere that the song "October" was based on the death of one of Amy Lee's bf's, this song and "My Immortal" is this true?

If you could find where you read it then maybe we could check, but i personally dont know. Might goooogle it and see what we get --Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 08:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i believe i read it under some YouTube comments.

i dont think it could be verified as being true purely from a youtube so best not including it in't article --Childzy ^{(Talk|Contribs)} 21:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i understand, i was just wondering if the statements were true.

I read somewhere that Ben wrote both "My Immortal" and "Haunted" about a short story he wrote about a person who died and a haunted another person, i just dont remember where. NargleFishHat 06:25, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

not true. My Immortal was written by Ben Moody

Why Amy?? -_-

Amy Fierd Rocky And John T_T..Why?..Does Anyone Know?..This Is Terrible..-XxInuyasha6

No reason has been given for LeCompt being fired or Gray leaving (he left, he wasn't fired). Supposedly there is some sort of gag order imposed on the guys by Wind-up to prevent them from speaking about the reasons. I'd recommend reading the posts on http://www.evthreads.com for more information. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 16:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Name Change

If amy lee is now married to Josh Hartzler will she be taking his second name? Luke255 14:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Until and unless she officially states that she will be known as Amy Hartzler, we cannot even consider changing the article name, as that would be considered original research. Even then, Wikipedia policy states that article titles should be the most commonly known form of the name or title, so "Amy Lee" should probably remain as the article title, since that is what the vast majority of people will know her as. In that situation, a simple redirect to this page can be set up from Amy Hartzler or Amy Lee-Hartzler or whatever she chooses. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 15:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
