Image:MelyssaXXL S.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 22:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
An "editor" changed her birthplace to Houston, Texas and her education to Rice University. If anyone spots this, please revert it. Thanks. Blackjays1 00:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I removed personal information that did not have a reliable reference per BLP policy. Please do not re-add without a reliable source. (Sorry about the lack of edit summary, I used rollback in error.) FloNight ♥♥♥ 18:16, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
Quoting "About" section of Bossip.com:
Bossip.com is the leading celebrity online property which has an urban sensibility. In addition, we are the fastest growing urban-focused new media property on planet earth.
We provide daily updated content and have developed a strong reputation, with numerous mentions by GQ Magazine, New York Daily News, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Entertainment Weekly, LA Times, New York Times, Boston Globe, USA Today, Washington Post, VH1, TMZ, and other major media outlets.
As you can see, the source mentioned here is used in article. Therefore, Bossip.com can't be called unreliable blog source, otherwise New York Times source should be removed from article as well, as it bases its information on such sources as this one, and therefore can be called unreliable as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.204.250.136 ( talk) 17:31, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
I've just checked the article. The source for such statement is unavailable:
1 We're sorry, the page you requested can not be found on JournalNow.com.
Therefore, article's statement is doubtful. Adding 'citation needed' tag to it. 92.47.240.83 ( talk) 21:42, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Yet this Lola Ogunnaike in NYT's article, which is source for nickname "Jessica Rabbit", saying 'whose killer curves earned her the handle Jessica Rabbit' didn't mention who gave her this nick. And it could be a blog, therefore rendering her article and therefore the source unreliable. "Jessica Rabbit" part should be removed, unless resource with proven origin is mentioned. 89.218.6.33 ( talk) 00:37, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
the current text, the last sentence of the head section:
She is often referred to as Jessica Rabbit, after the character from the animated film Who Framed Roger Rabbit whose voluptuous figure Ford's is said to resemble.
was "corrected" to:
is a Canadian video model and actress, often compared to cartoon character, Jessica Rabbit.
giving the following reasoning:
explanations around Jessica Rabbit "way" too long, almost if she was a JR (Jessica Rabbit) impersonator
the status quo was "defended", as follows:
restore material deleted for poor reasoning
the defender of the status quo holds
why not go on and "explain" the even more "important" term connected with her name video vixen?
Ironically summarized
the current text is "beautiful" example of "charmingly" "innocent", "harmless", wikipedian sexism that under any circumstances deserves to be preserved forever.
