one of the most successful songs in American music history - How is this quantified? -- Zoe — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoe ( talk • contribs) 06:12, 17 May 2003 (UTC)
removed links to song titles because I doubt if they would ever justify articles. Tiles 06:37 17 May 2003 (UTC)
Who wrote this? LeAnn didn't write "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" and "This Woman" was received very well by critics. This profile on LeAnn is pathetic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FeiLongEX ( talk • contribs) 12:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
edit: I fixed the errors and included the songs that LeAnn DID write off "This Woman" — Preceding unsigned comment added by FeiLongEX ( talk • contribs) 12:33, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Where are all the personal details e.g her marriage etc?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.51.89 ( talk) 09:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Isn't there a better picture of her to put up on her profile? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rickhenry ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I was just wondering, why are there no links to any of LeAnn's albums? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.145.57.166 ( talk) 07:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Is that new CD of hers "Whenever We Wanna" only being released in the UK? If so, why? Just wondering because I haven't heard anything about it except on here.
-- Faris b 19:09, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
This needs to be completely transformed it is an absolute mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 0555 ( talk • contribs) 12:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I would like to make an apology for experimenting with the article and saving it,. -- 0555 16:46, 25, September 2006 (UTC)
She's releasing a new album in 2007 called Family? Where is the source of that statement? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.195.53 ( talk) 23:07, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
She was nominated for a Grammy for "Somethings Gotta Give." Why that not be in here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.246.37 ( talk) 08:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh this bio needs help. I know so much about LeAnn and know some sources, but I just don't know how to edit Wikipedia articles. If there's anyone who has the time and energy, please do an overhaul of LeAnn's page for her sake! I know it sounds daunting, but if anyone can do anything, it would be great. I am willing to help as much as possible with sources and information. Re-post here if you want to chat about this...
I am slowly learning how to update on Wikipedia and doing some minor changes and updating some links, but this Biography Project is still very large. Any help would be appreciated!
Free_Mind301 04:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
LeAnn released "Strong" as a single (that's why there's a video) in Germany if anyone knows how it did on their charts...
Free_Mind301 04:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Is there a reason the name "Tommy Santelli" is next to the album I Need You for the single "Written In The Stars?"
Free_Mind301 04:03, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Could we add a column under albums for the US Country Album charts? I'm just wondering if this is accpetable...thanks! Free_Mind301 01:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
We've had some vandalism, everyone please keep your eye open for it! Thanks! Free_Mind301 23:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Somehow we need to get LeAnn's biography organized and with sources. Anyone have any ideas on how to split up the bio? Free_Mind301 19:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I completley agree with the above user. This article is absouloutley terrible. The article doesn't talk about the story behind "Blue", and how it was originally supposed to be for Patsy Cline. Well, I have added that new category. I have split up the article by adding "The Success of the Blue Album" category. I'll find other ways to split up the article. Don't worry, I'll work on it! As for references I'm trying to add the most I can, so can you guys, get involved! Dottiewest1fan 20:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
RIAA's searchable database shows Blue only received an award of 4x Platinum. We need to either fix this in the article and the article Blue (LeAnn Rimes album), or find if the source (RIAA) is incorrect. Free_Mind301 21:04, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm not a big fan, but I thought she was a bit older..? 66.116.4.140 ( talk) 05:44, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
What was the Roger Rabbit category doing on the article? By the time she got started IIRC, Roger had all but been phased out by Disney. WAVY 10 Fan ( talk) 18:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
This article has obviously been written by people who are USA based, because very little is documented of her success and releases in Europe, particularly the UK. Also I detect somewhat of a country-music BIAS. The sections on her pop career and remixes seem somewhat scant/dismissive in comparison.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Distant Cousin ( talk • contribs) 22:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
I'm from the U.S. and I don't know a whole lot about her European success. I do know about the Whatever We Wanna and I purchased it from iTunes, only to have it revoked (kind of)... but that's another story.
Her pop/rock success isn't that great though. Twisted Angel and Whatever We Wanna aren't notable at all because they each had a grand total of one good single. I liked the albums, personally, but I could see why it's dismissed in the article.
Having said that, this article needs to be locked. The grammar is atrocious, the organization is always changing and messed up, and the content is never completely correct. I'd fix it, but I don't want to put my time and effort into it only to find it cockamamy again.
PWNificated. ( talk) 06:47, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
You editors do not know Rimes if you do not appreciate that particular tune! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.120.14.192 ( talk) 10:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Before ANYONE decides to add this info in the article, I would like to remind everyone that Wikipedia is not a tabloid, which is why I have removed any mention of this "affair". Furthermore, these are unverified rumors propagated only by tabloids, which are not reliable sources. So please, do not put it back in the article. Thank you. -- Whip it! Now whip it good! 23:26, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
So the security video showing Rimes kissing what's-his-face multiple times, holding his hand throughout the entire tape, and licking his fingers isn't a good enough source that she's carrying on with another man? Because I think that would be proof enough for my husband that I was having an affair. 72.90.49.34 ( talk) 06:57, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
LeAnn Rimes didn't release any CDs in 1991 and 1992. I check Amazon.com and eBay. However, she does have a rare 2003 CD Single on eBay called "We Can". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.68.211.187 ( talk) 00:20, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
I have removed the claim from the lead that Bill Mack wrote Blue for Patsy Cline. As the Blue article states, Mack denied that she was the inspiration for the song and here's what Mack said. User talk:Moriori ( talk) 23:17, 27 August 2012 (UTC)
Recently, an anonymous user using several related IPv6 addresses has been repeatedly adding a claim which is unsourced, giving edit summaries saying "he source is wrong then." We have many people coming to Wikipedia and claiming to know things, saying in effect that we can take their word for it. Some of these people are right, but a good many of them are wrong. We have no magic way of knowing who is right, so we accept information only if it is supported by reliable sources. If you can provide a reliable source that supports the change you have been making, then that will be fine, but otherwise you must not keep on doing it, even if you are convinced that you are right. JamesBWatson ( talk) 11:01, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
The list of charities she supports is SO impressive -- and SO unsourced. This is just pure advertisement and namedropping. It is also totally meaningless, as there is no way to know if she just gave a dollar or a significant percentage of her income. Not that I want to know. But neither do I want to read this kind of unsourced stuff in an encyclopedia. -- 217.239.0.16 ( talk) 12:18, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Under the philanthropy section, this sentence, "In December 2010, she performed "The Rose", joined by The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles in remembrance of the many gay teenagers who committed suicide in 2010" should be altered to replace "committed suicide" with "died by suicide". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1B20:8EC0:1822:1882:4575:B769 ( talk) 17:48, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
In the "2009-present: Television film transition" section, it is claimed that she appeared alongside Darius Rucker as a guest panelist. In fact, she was the sole guest panelist, Darius Rucker having appeared in the episode prior to her appearance. Icoll52 ( talk) 21:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
