There are what, more or less than 10? That is WAY to many. Furthermore, the coding for one of them is screwed up. The coding for references is screwed up too. This needs to undergo a major renovation. I will consider putting it up for some sort of Article Improvement.

Oh, come on "Mad Jack O'Lantern", are you claiming that you truly know the psychology and disposition of Mandy Moore?! In any event, do you have any proof that the famous Mandy Moore did not star in the movie, or if Street Rats did not actually exist? It can be read that Lee Perkins has virtually confirmed that both statements are true, as the (a) famous Mandy Moore and (b) the Street Rats movie points are listed against Lee's IMDB entry. -- Stephen2077 20:02, 17 April 2006 (UTC). Stephen, Sydney, Australia.
Does anyone have a good source for this movie's existence? The IMDB is not particularly reliable for much of anything anymore, and I see a few "shaky" celebrity trivia sites copied that info too. I would think that if she was really in a movie before her coming to fame, it'd be mentioned somewhere like an interview or in-depth profile. For all we know, "Street Rats" could be someone's idea of a joke.

Was Mandy Moore's grandfather Roger Moore or no? I've been always thinking about that.
No, Roger Moore is NOT related to Roger. Mandy Moore flatly brushed this suggestion off when she was asked this by a Filippino TV host. [2] Moore is a very common Irish name. It is much like suggesting that Mandy is related to Michael Moore, the controversial comedian and documentary film maker. -- Stephen2077 20:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Does anyone know her political views? She was in A Walk to Remember and Saved! so I'm confused. She also let her work be in HRC's love rocks benefit CD. Alison9 02:41, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
There seems to be disagreement as to what photo should appear at the top. We cannot have unknown copyright pictures as they will be deleted by wiki sooner or later. Although the Bazaar magazine cover is fair use it isn't the best representation of Mandy (too much text and wasted space). Doesn't anyone have a fair use photo they could upload?
PTSE 21:45, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
James Renald, who also wrote mandy's 'Cry', wrote Hey by himself. Hey will NOT be on Mandy's album and Hey will not be released as a single.
Is that true? C4 to G5? 1.5 octaves? That's a quite poor range. Even I have a larger range (and probably you too). Compare that with Mariah Carey: her highest note is G#7, with a 5-octave range! (info from Wikipedia, of course) 165.123.140.215 06:57, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
I don't know who posted it but I believe it's true. Mandy's an mediocre singer, no false notes, but limited range; she certainly is not a Mariah or a Christina.
Well, yeah, I kinda made an unfair comparison by bringing up Mariah Carey's vocal range. She's an exceptional case... 165.123.140.215 06:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

What's the source of the album sales numbers? According to RIAA's Gold/Platinum database, Mandy Moore and I Wanna Be With You both went gold, not platinum, so the numbers given seem totally off. I'm not going to delete it yet. I wanna see if there's a source first. Crumbsucker 16:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I've protected this page after noticing that there has been very little discussion on the talk page regarding the reversions on the 12th, and continuing into the 13th. I will remove the page protection in a short time, but if the reversions continue afterwards, I will be inclined to issue reciprocal blocks. The reversions also seem to indicate that there are multiple things which need to be discussed - things for which the edit summary are clearly not adequate for. This being the case, I'm going to wait a little bit and see what happens with the dialog on this page. -- HappyCamper 04:09, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
1. Parys insists on putting up a copywritten picture from a magazine. he's done it on other pages as well and has been tagged for it. he also seems to like putting up a new lead picture every month.
2. Parys insists on using insignificant and anecdotal reviews to support assertions: "I Wanna Be With was criticized because some saw it as a remix album" - the review she links to is not from a credible reviewer and doesn't even criticize the album. She does it again with this statement: "and not a new studio album, as well as because Moore's appearance was deemed too sexual for her age."
3. When someone points these things out to Parys, she reverts and calls people vandels. Crumbsucker 04:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
Since no one's replaced the now-deleted picture, I put up an image of Moore from her How To Deal poster. I believe we can use images when they come directly from posters. However, I'm not sure if this is the best she's looked on a poster. Do people prefer her image on the "Walk To Remember" poster? (although you can't see her face as clearly there). Or does someone have another picture? I'm open to suggestions. JackO'Lantern 23:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Under the Television and Film Career section we have the following sentence describing the movie Savied!: "Although the film didn't receive a wide release, it was critically successful and Moore received unanimous and surprising praise for her performance." There are three issues with this sentence.
First, what does "critically successful" mean? Does it mean that many film critics gave the movie good reviews? Well, how many? And why is this an important fact? And how could that fact be backed up? Or maybe it means a famous or influential critic liked the movie. Then mentioning the critic would be more appropriate.
Second, it's said that the priase was "unanimous". Well, I certainly didn't praise her performance. (I haven't even seen it!) What does "unanimous" mean in this context? How can this statement be supported with fact? Further, surely unanimous praise is mutually exclusive with surprising praise, for if everyone felt her performance deserved praise, it would hardly be surprising to anyone that other people also thought her performance worthy of praise.
Finally, the praise was surprising to whom?
I'm not ready to remove the sentence, because it might be trying to say something worthwhile, but as it is it reads like someone trying to say, "I liked the movie a lot, but it's obscure," which doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Rljacobson 21:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
If someone knows, can they add what her original hair color is? I notice she has dark hair now but I wonder whether this was her original hair color. Badagnani 08:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
How can this person be considered a Jew? Her father and Mother are not Jewish and she was raised and went to Catholic Schools her entire life!!! Her Grand Parents may be Jewish but she most definatly is not.
Image:Dreamzm.jpg I thought this was a cute picture when I gleaned it from an April 2006 article about Moore. [4] It seems to be a screenshot, but they don't really say what it is a screenshot of. Anyway, I moved it here to discussion. Does anyone know what film it is from? Or is it not a film at all? Mad Jack 20:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Just to pre-empt any upcoming edits, the IMDB has now posted up [5] that Moore is second-cousins with singer P!nk. This is almost certainly not true, but if anyone has a good source for it... Mad Jack 19:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
What's the deal with people constantly adding/removing/changing links to these two sites anyway? -- Kurt Shaped Box 22:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Well if that is not how you run things, then maybe you should not use sources, photos, and links from my site if you cant have it as a part of the External Links, especially since it is an official source for information approved by her label. If you want to use peoples sites for sources of information, then it is your job, and how you SHOULD do things around here to recognize their links. Or just do not use anything from their sites at all... Jj1973 10:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)JJ
I've put back links to both sites. I've also left an html comment asking that whoever keeps removing them says why they are doing so on this page.-- RicDod 18:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Sure. Why not? :) Mad Jack 18:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It's happened again - looks like User:MMJustice doesn't want to talk. Just a thought - is her official website mentioned on the back/in the liner notes of any of her recent records? Anyone able to take a look? Heh, I don't even own any Mandy Moore CDs... -- Kurt Shaped Box 02:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I have blocked both the accounts spamming the fake website (that I know of) as obvious sockpuppets. I suggest reverting and reporting further sockpuppets on sight. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 23:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Let me clear this up. Mandy Moore has THREE official sources online, that are approved by her record label The Firm. Those sources are the following: ( http://www.mandymoore.com), ( http://www.myspace.com/mandymoore), ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com). Until it is confirmed otherwise, those three places are her official online sources. Mandymooremusic.com is a website that is fake in officiality, and has caused much grief to not only Mandy Moore, but her fans as well. It is unfortunate that so many believe this fake site. And hopefully more and more people will stop believing in it, and eventually it will cease to exsist. Jj1973 10:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)JJ
As part of this project, I randomly checked a few footnotes from this article. Results were as follows:
All in all, seems solid, but leans pretty heavily on this "Moore of Mandy" fansite; if that's the only way to get an online copy of the magazine articles linked to, so be it, I guess, but another source would probably be preferable. -- Robth Talk 17:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone or someone please find a Wikipedia:Music sample for this article? It would basically guarantee the FA status, which the article will likely get regardless, but still. Appreciated Mad Jack 01:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Is this a joke or something? [6] It's such a brief mention in passing that I'm not sure. Mad Jack 15:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
is a bit redundant for me. -- Howard the Duck 09:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
An anonymous reviewer inserted information into the above article claiming that Mandy Moore was part of the film's cast (the first edit and the final edit). I reverted this because it was unsourced. After reading this article, I cannot find any information on her appearance in Havoc. Does anybody know whether this was patent nonsense or not? Never Mystic ( t c) 23:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Can somebody stalk Mandy Moore and get a free picture or something since "Abu Badali" is claiming that we can not use the previously used image? Mad Jack 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Sigh, it's been deleted, which isn't good. Does anyone have a good replacement image? Mad Jack 19:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
We really, really need someone to stalk Mandy Moore and get a free image somehow... or find one...... Mad Jack 19:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Mandy Moore did Aerith's voice in Kingdom Hearts. Mena Suvari did Aerith's voice in Kingdom Hearts II.-- BigMac1212 15:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Said movie may mark a first - the first film where we have FA articles on both leading actors (and both actors on the poster) - Keaton and Mandy Moore. Mad Jack 00:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there a WP:RS for the following? "The only music to surface from Moore after her release of her "Best of" release was a demo recording entitled "Hey!" which was written by James Renald. And in early 2006 Moore posted a cover of Lori McKenna's "Beautiful Man". The cover was well received gaining over 20,000,000 plays." Rito Revolto 03:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

That was a 1992 single from Michael Jackson, and i can't find it sourced anywhere. I would imagine if a Michael Jackson cover was going to be on a major musician's album it would be around. another thing, that track listing isnt official. Parys 16:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
The ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com) link is to stay on your Wikipedia pages regarding Mandy Moore at all times if you wish to continue to use any contents, images, or other sources from my website. I have included it on the External Links page again. Please do not remove it. For those in question of Mandy Moore's official sources, her official online sources are as follows: ( http://www.mandymoore.com) ( http://www.myspace.com/mandymoore) ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com). Those sites are approved by Mandys record label, called The Firm and any other websites or sources out there claiming officiality are false and no one should buy into them.
Kind Regards, JJ Jj1973 10:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Well Parys, you might want to go look at her myspace page to see that the fansite is listed on there. If that is not proof, I do not know what is. Jj1973 18:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
You can think of it as a flog all you want. How is it that I have this official information that is released before ANYONE else gets it on the net?? Even her myspace page?? Along with photos?? Did they just magically appear?? I HAVE sources to back up my claims. No one here has verified to me that they have sources to back up theirs. People here want me to back up my claims to prove officiality. But no one here wants to direct me to an admin of this site to back up the claims that I have. BTW, it does not have to claim officiality, directly from her. But the Firm IS her label, and the owner of that label has dealt with her since she was 9 years old. I have seen fansites listed in wikipedia all of the time. I do not see, even if mine was just a fansite, why it should not be listed on here. Just like the date for her new CD. That was not released ANYWHERE else on the net officially until the press release was on my site. You all can think what you want, believe what you want. But before anyone on here expects me to show my proof of my sources to back it up, then someone needs to back up their claims of who they are, as I do not give out info just to anyone. Jj1973 22:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC) 22:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
what about the her Classic style? Style for actors and actresses is important---especially people who mix classic and now, like Mandy Moore.
April 4, 2007. The day Wikipedia jumped the shark. — LoserTalent ( talk • contribs).
Congratulations! It has taken a long time and hard work to get on today's featured article of April 4 2007. Considering that this article was first started on 23:59, November 13, 2003, I think our hard work has paid off! Haseo9999 01:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Looks like someone beat me to saying this ^ Haseo9999 01:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi.
This is a surfer of Wikipedia. I don't have an account or anything - I just surf articles and make grammar corrections. We are all very appreciative of the community work that goes into Wikipedia.
Organizationally, Wikipedia might work better for the end-user if it were broken into branches at a somewhat higher level that represented the end-user's interests.
Well-written articles like this one might be put under "Entertainment", etc.
For example, if someone were not interested in a category they would be able to exclude it.
Her height (approx. 5'10") doesn't deserve a brief mention in the article? I've tried adding this information yet it is continually deleted... -- 172.146.51.78 04:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I was told the wikipedia main editors(not that I know them) like deleting stuff because they think their rank is based on how much stuff they delete lol 66.32.95.206 19:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)yeahhyeahyeah
My edit to have the dollar symbol not link to the page for the USD$ was reverted. Seems to me it's not appropriate for the symbol to link to the $USD since it is a symbol used for several countries' currencies. If perhaps you added USD$ to the end of the figure amount and link that to the US Dollar, it may be more appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.93.60.147 ( talk) 05:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
I think the intro paragraph should be tweaked. Saved, which came out in 2004, shouldn't really be considered one of her "latest" films. Didnt want to actually change anything since this is AotD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kangaru99 ( talk • contribs) 06:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
... although So Real was certified platinum in the U.S. in early 2000 and sold nearly one million copies.
I think this line could be confusing; certified platinum is an RIAA statement that she sold AT LEAST one million copies; the statement that she sold fewer than one million is based on the Nielsen SoundScan ratings. The article should either clarify this or pick one or the other. Maxvip 13:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The lead section is merely one paragraph (plus one short sentence), which is not up to date with current WP guidelines. A medium size article like this should have a lead section of two or three paragraphs, per WP:LEAD. Also, five far-use images for such a rather short text are debatable, I suppose. And using copyright violations (magazine scans) for references in not allowed per WP:EL. -- EnemyOfTheState 20:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Is the following section that someone just added really notable? It is really a trivial incident that only marginally has something to do with Moore herself; it may be better placed in the "Extraordinary" article, if anywhere. Mad Jack 21:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
"Moore filmed a music video for "Extraordinary" in early March 2007; she appears as 120 versions of herself in the video." - is that true?? I can't seem to open the link to see if that says that, but 120 versions of herself??? That kind seems impossible for a video of a song that is less than 3 minutes long... -- Sarz 11:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
As this article has featured article status, I wanted to discuss this before doing anything. What should be done about the redlinked genres in the infobox? Should they be corrected or not? They lower the quality of the page to me. Any thoughts on what to do? Acalamari 20:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
How come this article doesn't mention anything about Moore's education? I'm guessing she only finished middle school and then dove right into singing, because she was fifteen when she debuted and it takes around a year to record and practice and wrap up for your debut and everything. This needs to be added to the article. ― LADY GALAXY ★彡 Refill/ lol 02:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
It seems that we've always had picture issues for this article. Any reason why the previous one was not acceptable? TheKillerAngel 02:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Could someone make some samples of her best-known singles and add them? It's great and all to know what her album covers look like, but I think knowing what her music sounds like is more important. ShadowHalo 10:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
FYI, what would count as a "source" for the discussion her character had in the movie that would be acceptable? I've done a search for a film script, but apparently no one wants to besmirch the Internet with such a banal piece of crap. I only inserted the edit because I thought it would complement/offset the horror she had over the orgasm on the magazine cover. I still think the edit should stand, but I'll let those who guard this article more closely decide. Anthony Hit me up... 22:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Mandy Moore/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
The www.mooreofmandy.com link is to stay in the external links at all times if you are to use any content, images or any other sources of information from my site. FYI, to those who still have doubt regarding Mandy Moore internet officiality, the official sites are as follows. www.mandymoore.com www.myspace.com/mandymoore and www.mooreofmandy.com. These sites are approved my Mandy Moore's record label The Firm, and if anyone else claims officiality, they are false and misleading. ````JJ```` |

Under the Television and Film Career section we have the following sentence describing the movie Savied!: "Although the film didn't receive a wide release, it was critically successful and Moore received unanimous and surprising praise for her performance." There are three issues with this sentence.
First, what does "critically successful" mean? Does it mean that many film critics gave the movie good reviews? Well, how many? And why is this an important fact? And how could that fact be backed up? Or maybe it means a famous or influential critic liked the movie. Then mentioning the critic would be more appropriate.
Second, it's said that the priase was "unanimous". Well, I certainly didn't praise her performance. (I haven't even seen it!) What does "unanimous" mean in this context? How can this statement be supported with fact? Further, surely unanimous praise is mutually exclusive with surprising praise, for if everyone felt her performance deserved praise, it would hardly be surprising to anyone that other people also thought her performance worthy of praise.
Finally, the praise was surprising to whom?
I'm not ready to remove the sentence, because it might be trying to say something worthwhile, but as it is it reads like someone trying to say, "I liked the movie a lot, but it's obscure," which doesn't belong in Wikipedia. Rljacobson 21:49, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
If someone knows, can they add what her original hair color is? I notice she has dark hair now but I wonder whether this was her original hair color. Badagnani 08:01, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
How can this person be considered a Jew? Her father and Mother are not Jewish and she was raised and went to Catholic Schools her entire life!!! Her Grand Parents may be Jewish but she most definatly is not.
Image:Dreamzm.jpg I thought this was a cute picture when I gleaned it from an April 2006 article about Moore. [4] It seems to be a screenshot, but they don't really say what it is a screenshot of. Anyway, I moved it here to discussion. Does anyone know what film it is from? Or is it not a film at all? Mad Jack 20:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Just to pre-empt any upcoming edits, the IMDB has now posted up [5] that Moore is second-cousins with singer P!nk. This is almost certainly not true, but if anyone has a good source for it... Mad Jack 19:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
What's the deal with people constantly adding/removing/changing links to these two sites anyway? -- Kurt Shaped Box 22:40, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Well if that is not how you run things, then maybe you should not use sources, photos, and links from my site if you cant have it as a part of the External Links, especially since it is an official source for information approved by her label. If you want to use peoples sites for sources of information, then it is your job, and how you SHOULD do things around here to recognize their links. Or just do not use anything from their sites at all... Jj1973 10:34, 19 February 2007 (UTC)JJ
I've put back links to both sites. I've also left an html comment asking that whoever keeps removing them says why they are doing so on this page.-- RicDod 18:01, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Sure. Why not? :) Mad Jack 18:13, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
It's happened again - looks like User:MMJustice doesn't want to talk. Just a thought - is her official website mentioned on the back/in the liner notes of any of her recent records? Anyone able to take a look? Heh, I don't even own any Mandy Moore CDs... -- Kurt Shaped Box 02:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I have blocked both the accounts spamming the fake website (that I know of) as obvious sockpuppets. I suggest reverting and reporting further sockpuppets on sight. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 23:55, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Let me clear this up. Mandy Moore has THREE official sources online, that are approved by her record label The Firm. Those sources are the following: ( http://www.mandymoore.com), ( http://www.myspace.com/mandymoore), ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com). Until it is confirmed otherwise, those three places are her official online sources. Mandymooremusic.com is a website that is fake in officiality, and has caused much grief to not only Mandy Moore, but her fans as well. It is unfortunate that so many believe this fake site. And hopefully more and more people will stop believing in it, and eventually it will cease to exsist. Jj1973 10:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)JJ
As part of this project, I randomly checked a few footnotes from this article. Results were as follows:
All in all, seems solid, but leans pretty heavily on this "Moore of Mandy" fansite; if that's the only way to get an online copy of the magazine articles linked to, so be it, I guess, but another source would probably be preferable. -- Robth Talk 17:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone or someone please find a Wikipedia:Music sample for this article? It would basically guarantee the FA status, which the article will likely get regardless, but still. Appreciated Mad Jack 01:08, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Is this a joke or something? [6] It's such a brief mention in passing that I'm not sure. Mad Jack 15:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
is a bit redundant for me. -- Howard the Duck 09:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
An anonymous reviewer inserted information into the above article claiming that Mandy Moore was part of the film's cast (the first edit and the final edit). I reverted this because it was unsourced. After reading this article, I cannot find any information on her appearance in Havoc. Does anybody know whether this was patent nonsense or not? Never Mystic ( t c) 23:01, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Can somebody stalk Mandy Moore and get a free picture or something since "Abu Badali" is claiming that we can not use the previously used image? Mad Jack 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Sigh, it's been deleted, which isn't good. Does anyone have a good replacement image? Mad Jack 19:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
We really, really need someone to stalk Mandy Moore and get a free image somehow... or find one...... Mad Jack 19:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Mandy Moore did Aerith's voice in Kingdom Hearts. Mena Suvari did Aerith's voice in Kingdom Hearts II.-- BigMac1212 15:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Currently titled Wild Hope, according to this MTV interview. I haven't worked on this page, so someone else with more of an interest can put it in where it belongs, hopefully. SKS2K6 05:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Said movie may mark a first - the first film where we have FA articles on both leading actors (and both actors on the poster) - Keaton and Mandy Moore. Mad Jack 00:07, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Is there a WP:RS for the following? "The only music to surface from Moore after her release of her "Best of" release was a demo recording entitled "Hey!" which was written by James Renald. And in early 2006 Moore posted a cover of Lori McKenna's "Beautiful Man". The cover was well received gaining over 20,000,000 plays." Rito Revolto 03:06, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

That was a 1992 single from Michael Jackson, and i can't find it sourced anywhere. I would imagine if a Michael Jackson cover was going to be on a major musician's album it would be around. another thing, that track listing isnt official. Parys 16:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
The ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com) link is to stay on your Wikipedia pages regarding Mandy Moore at all times if you wish to continue to use any contents, images, or other sources from my website. I have included it on the External Links page again. Please do not remove it. For those in question of Mandy Moore's official sources, her official online sources are as follows: ( http://www.mandymoore.com) ( http://www.myspace.com/mandymoore) ( http://www.mooreofmandy.com). Those sites are approved by Mandys record label, called The Firm and any other websites or sources out there claiming officiality are false and no one should buy into them.
Kind Regards, JJ Jj1973 10:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Well Parys, you might want to go look at her myspace page to see that the fansite is listed on there. If that is not proof, I do not know what is. Jj1973 18:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
You can think of it as a flog all you want. How is it that I have this official information that is released before ANYONE else gets it on the net?? Even her myspace page?? Along with photos?? Did they just magically appear?? I HAVE sources to back up my claims. No one here has verified to me that they have sources to back up theirs. People here want me to back up my claims to prove officiality. But no one here wants to direct me to an admin of this site to back up the claims that I have. BTW, it does not have to claim officiality, directly from her. But the Firm IS her label, and the owner of that label has dealt with her since she was 9 years old. I have seen fansites listed in wikipedia all of the time. I do not see, even if mine was just a fansite, why it should not be listed on here. Just like the date for her new CD. That was not released ANYWHERE else on the net officially until the press release was on my site. You all can think what you want, believe what you want. But before anyone on here expects me to show my proof of my sources to back it up, then someone needs to back up their claims of who they are, as I do not give out info just to anyone. Jj1973 22:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC) 22:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
what about the her Classic style? Style for actors and actresses is important---especially people who mix classic and now, like Mandy Moore.
April 4, 2007. The day Wikipedia jumped the shark. — LoserTalent ( talk • contribs).
Congratulations! It has taken a long time and hard work to get on today's featured article of April 4 2007. Considering that this article was first started on 23:59, November 13, 2003, I think our hard work has paid off! Haseo9999 01:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Looks like someone beat me to saying this ^ Haseo9999 01:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi.
This is a surfer of Wikipedia. I don't have an account or anything - I just surf articles and make grammar corrections. We are all very appreciative of the community work that goes into Wikipedia.
Organizationally, Wikipedia might work better for the end-user if it were broken into branches at a somewhat higher level that represented the end-user's interests.
Well-written articles like this one might be put under "Entertainment", etc.
For example, if someone were not interested in a category they would be able to exclude it.
Her height (approx. 5'10") doesn't deserve a brief mention in the article? I've tried adding this information yet it is continually deleted... -- 172.146.51.78 04:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I was told the wikipedia main editors(not that I know them) like deleting stuff because they think their rank is based on how much stuff they delete lol 66.32.95.206 19:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)yeahhyeahyeah
My edit to have the dollar symbol not link to the page for the USD$ was reverted. Seems to me it's not appropriate for the symbol to link to the $USD since it is a symbol used for several countries' currencies. If perhaps you added USD$ to the end of the figure amount and link that to the US Dollar, it may be more appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.93.60.147 ( talk) 05:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
I think the intro paragraph should be tweaked. Saved, which came out in 2004, shouldn't really be considered one of her "latest" films. Didnt want to actually change anything since this is AotD. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kangaru99 ( talk • contribs) 06:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC).
... although So Real was certified platinum in the U.S. in early 2000 and sold nearly one million copies.
I think this line could be confusing; certified platinum is an RIAA statement that she sold AT LEAST one million copies; the statement that she sold fewer than one million is based on the Nielsen SoundScan ratings. The article should either clarify this or pick one or the other. Maxvip 13:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
The lead section is merely one paragraph (plus one short sentence), which is not up to date with current WP guidelines. A medium size article like this should have a lead section of two or three paragraphs, per WP:LEAD. Also, five far-use images for such a rather short text are debatable, I suppose. And using copyright violations (magazine scans) for references in not allowed per WP:EL. -- EnemyOfTheState 20:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Is the following section that someone just added really notable? It is really a trivial incident that only marginally has something to do with Moore herself; it may be better placed in the "Extraordinary" article, if anywhere. Mad Jack 21:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
"Moore filmed a music video for "Extraordinary" in early March 2007; she appears as 120 versions of herself in the video." - is that true?? I can't seem to open the link to see if that says that, but 120 versions of herself??? That kind seems impossible for a video of a song that is less than 3 minutes long... -- Sarz 11:36, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
As this article has featured article status, I wanted to discuss this before doing anything. What should be done about the redlinked genres in the infobox? Should they be corrected or not? They lower the quality of the page to me. Any thoughts on what to do? Acalamari 20:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
How come this article doesn't mention anything about Moore's education? I'm guessing she only finished middle school and then dove right into singing, because she was fifteen when she debuted and it takes around a year to record and practice and wrap up for your debut and everything. This needs to be added to the article. ― LADY GALAXY ★彡 Refill/ lol 02:10, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
It seems that we've always had picture issues for this article. Any reason why the previous one was not acceptable? TheKillerAngel 02:40, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Could someone make some samples of her best-known singles and add them? It's great and all to know what her album covers look like, but I think knowing what her music sounds like is more important. ShadowHalo 10:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
FYI, what would count as a "source" for the discussion her character had in the movie that would be acceptable? I've done a search for a film script, but apparently no one wants to besmirch the Internet with such a banal piece of crap. I only inserted the edit because I thought it would complement/offset the horror she had over the orgasm on the magazine cover. I still think the edit should stand, but I'll let those who guard this article more closely decide. Anthony Hit me up... 22:40, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

The www.mooreofmandy.com link is to stay in the external links at all times if you are to use any content, images or any other sources of information from my site. FYI, to those who still have doubt regarding Mandy Moore internet officiality, the official sites are as follows. www.mandymoore.com www.myspace.com/mandymoore and www.mooreofmandy.com. These sites are approved my Mandy Moore's record label The Firm, and if anyone else claims officiality, they are false and misleading. ````JJ```` |
