I just read somewhere else that Lolo is actually 5'-9", not 5'-11" as listed here. Can someone substantiate and edit as necessary? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.146.181.154 ( talk) 17:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
I've just added a section about the media storm which was launched by the NYT article regarding Jones. I've linked to the article and gave the main points from the article as well as Jones' rection to it. Alas, Jones seems to be coming under criticism from Harper and Wells as well. Could someone add links to creditable sources and at it to the section? -- fdewaele 9 August 2012, 14:28
While the individual Twitter controversies may be minor, Jones's spate of them over several years' time forms a pattern unlike most of her fellow Olympians and is a more newsworthy aspect of her bio than things like an appearance on the Tonight Show. A quote in the previous paragraph gives her social media presence credit for her having been selected for the bobsled team. Her social media presence, positive and negative, is a significant aspect of her bio. To eliminate description of a demonstrated pattern of behavior and the responses it generates--one that is relevant to and has an impact on the athletic career for which she is famous--is whitewashing. 68.11.79.126 ( talk) 04:26, 13 February 2014 (UTC)12 February 2014
Is it just me, or is the Popular Culture section fairly misleading and abrupt? The USA Today source is good, but isn't really portrayed well in the text. Here is my suggested revision, but I'm not going to change it until I get positive feedback (mainly because I'm new to this). I also noticed that the citation used did not substantiate the second claim, about her appearing in Outside magazine.

Her heritage has been restored using WP:RS there is no reason for her heritage to be alterd nor the categories that apply be removed when reliable sources state her heritage especially when she herself is not making the statements which seems to be the main argument.

This category page lists notable citizens of the United States who self-identify as being of Native American ethnic descent but do not belong to a Native American tribe." (emphasis mine). None of the sources clearly support a self-identification as being of Native American ethnic descent so effectively we have a BLPvio. People who see the cat and aware of it's purpose will assume she does. This article has gone through a recent edit war, and I've seem some discussion of "she says" so possibly some source exists which establish a self-identification so I won't remove the cat but the problem needs to be remedied ASAP. As an alternative, the cat could be changed to use the wording similar to the French and Norwegian ones. I'm not sure of the history and why this category uses that specific wording, so this should be explored. I suspect this article isn't the only one with a problem. For example, Tiger Woods is also in the cat even though his article doesn't even say he's of Native American descent, it says "some people suggested" that he (or rather his mother) has Native American ancestry.
