Why is there a "see also" to Bondage? As far as I know, Lynn never appeared in any bondage films. MK2 22:50, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Does anyone know why 69.235 keeps deleting the majority of this article? His only two activities seem to be deleting random sections in articles about adult film actresses and creating poorly written articles about football players. MK2 02:39, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps it's a gay football fan, incensced that people are watching teh pr0n instead of football?

[edit] move

This article really should be moved to Ginger Lynn Allen. That's her name, that's what she goes by in her "mainstream" performances, and it includes the "Ginger Lynn" so there's no problem with that. Comments? --Golbez 22:50, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Personally, I've come across both in my research, so I wouldn't have a problem with it. However, why bother to move it when Ginger Lynn Allen is already a redirect to the current article? It seems, to me at least, to be redundant and an ill-advised use of time. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 02:50, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] sources

I'm not going to change the templates put in by User:71.244.86.178 because I don't know enough about the subject. His comments do not appear warranted though, and would be more credible if he'd register. Most of the research seems to have been done by Joe Beaudoin Jr., so perhaps he could put some of the links he found under the heading Sources, and that would clear up the question of POV.

With all due respect, whether I'm registered should have nothing to do with my comments being 'credible'. This article has excessive detail on the subject and it seems more 'PR release' than encyclopedic. Fine tuning is needed. Also, it's bias in the areas which convey thoughts and actions by people secondary to the subject, with no substantial sources mentioned.71.244.86.178 12:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

If you are registered, then you get a talk space in which others can address you directly rather than via random areas like this. It also signals that you are invested in the project, as opposed to someone making hit-and-run edits anonymously. I hope you do register and continue your involvement in the project, but if you are going to make unilateral decisions about what constitutes excessive or subjective detail, you would indeed be more credible being a name instead of a number.

Point taken; but bear in mind that a user account does not necessarily eliminate anonymity or force accountability. There are many users with sock puppet accounts. There are also many 'single' accounts which have multiple users. An account with a talk page is often times no more forthcoming than an IP address...or credible, as you put it. 71.244.86.178 19:30, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm not suggesting eliminating anonymity or forcing accountability. I'm saying it would allow us to have this conversation in a relevant place. An account with a talk page isn't necessarily more credible, but it does allow for feedback, discussion, clarification. Whatever. As for making abrupt major changes to pages you haven't worked on before, please see my comment here. Cheers, Laszlo Panaflex 19:36, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] My Sources

Mainly, the sources were located under the "External links" section. However, one of them that seemed to be removed was the Luke Ford bio, primarly because that page is no more. However, here's a Google cache snapshot of the page. Of course, if you feel that the content of the article is not NPOV, then by all means go about correcting it. Also, to the anonymous user who has issues with the article: Yes, I may have put much work into the article from its previous stub-status, but if you want to add meaningful content to the article, please feel free to do so. Again, as you are so keen on harping on, add sources where applicable. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 18:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
