Talk:Jim Bailey (entertainer)

Cleanup tags

I note that the references section has been removed, and no references are included inline at all. In addition, I'm not convinced of his notability, though he may measure up by WP:MUSIC - I'm not as clear on that guideline. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 21:22, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

In his day, he was pretty famous in the U.S.; even a hopeless het boy like me vaguely remembers when he was a regular on television. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Please help us

This whole thing is turning into a nightmare. Every day we come on we see nasty homophobic comments written in his article.

We removed all the lines that said citation needed.

We had a list of many references and when it was cleaned up they were removed???? we also had photos that were deleted accompanying each article.IMDB references everything and has more stuff on.

What else can we do ?unfortunatly im out of town and dont have all my notes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Campbellman222 (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure what you mean; I've checked the article history and it doesn't seem to have been vandalized at all. What homophobic comments are you referring to? Also, I removed the references section just now because it's redundant to the external links section; they contain the exact same links. GlassCobra 19:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

1) A tag like "citation needed" is not a demand that the information be removed; it's a call for a specific cite. You say, Variety said something: give us a date and page number. 2) SatyrTN is no homophobe, to put it mildly! 3) As several editors have told you, Steve and William, as representatives of Jim's you have massive conflicts of interest, and should not be editing this article, save to revert blatant vandalism. If you've got material to contribute, tell us about it on this talk page so non-conflicted editors can use it. 4) I'm not good with copyright and permissions on Wikipedia myself; could somebody help these guys? 5) "Female impersonator" is not an insult, it's a specific term. Wikipedia is not censored, and we don't use a euphemism when a perfectly good term is available. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

thanks so much for your help ....you orangemike, glass cobra and satyr have tried to help me  im knew to this ........now i saw a biography on jim he was the first impressionist and impersonator on mainstream tv ed sullivan 1969  and thought he should be in here ...what i said before was satyr asked for references they were in at one point somone took them out...i know HE didnt say anything but I had comments  written in like his name was changed to fem fem and girly. im not an agent for bailey i asked him for photos through his website which he owned and they were deleted.if you satr and glass cobra would help id really be greatful but this has kind of disappointed me.--Williamkieffert (talk) 21:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
