I have changed the photo because the last photo almost makes Rebecca St. James look mean: and i doubt her publicist would like that :) so we at wikipedia have decided to be nice & change it :p
[edit] Date change: vandalism?
These diffs were made by an anon.
- * She Teen: Safe, Healthy, And Empowered, co-authored with Lynda Hunter Bjorklund. July 2, 2002. + * She Teen: Safe, Healthy, And Empowered, co-authored with Lynda Hunter Bjorklund. September 18, 2005.
- * She: Safe, Healthy, Empowered - The Woman You're Made To Be, October 30, 2004. + * She: Safe, Healthy, Empowered - The Woman You're Made To Be, co-authored with Lynda Hunter Bjorklund. November 1, 2004.
I can't find a source, but it looks like it might be vandalism
- It looks kind of confusing, different book store sites show different dates (and slightly different titles) for them all. I believe I used Amazon for the dates that were originally there. I will look into it. The page needs a lot of work anyway, some sources that back up the facts. Been meaning to work on this but I'm not much of a fan. --Foofy 02:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

- I know for a fact that the devotional book 40 Days with God was originally released in 1996 in conjunction with Rebecca's God album. I bought it then. If I could find it, I would post a more definitive date, but I do believe the problem here is people posting the dates of the books' reprintings rather than vandalism. I will look into it, and see if I can't come up with something citable. --LonelyPilgrim 01:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
- Not to mention some of the text needs to be reworded. "Encourages sex after marriage" sounds a little wrong. --24.39.223.22 01:17, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
-
- Fixed that and some of the other wording. Wordbuilder
She was released in 2004, trust me i'm a HUGE Fan!!! Everything on there is right. Oh and the 40 Days with God was re-released in 2001 to go along with the TRansform album which was released in 2000.
[edit] Sources
This article needs fact checking and sources. Please do not add new material unless you can back them up with other articles. --Foofy 23:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Refresh My Heart
Is this really her first album? It wasn't actually released by any label... Foofy 20:00, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yes: [1] [2] [3] Utopianheaven 06:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- If an album receives at least a fair amount of distribution, it should be counted. That said, Refresh My Heart was released on the label DTS Music and distributed by Word Australia. The later re-release, however, doesn't appear to have an associated label. Wordbuilder 19:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bibliography
Okay, I fixed the bibliography to a satisfactory degree of accuracy. I used primarily the Library of Congress catalog, Amazon.com, and personal recollection. None of this is very citable, but there does not seem to be any definitive source for Rebecca's bibliography. I removed the full publication dates from the bibliography, as they hardly seemed revelant — we're not citing articles here, and no other author page on Wikipedia uses full dates. They also seem to be where our dispute here lies, most likely due to differing release dates in differing places. --LonelyPilgrim 03:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Should we change this picture?
This picture is not her best. We should change it to something else that is better. Later!!! Chili14 23:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
- But there IS the problem of copyrights. How many pix are/are not copyrighted and whether they're better or worse. HyperSushi21 02:20, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
-
- What about this pic:
? I don't think it's copyrighted... it's the cover for the "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" single. 24.208.96.72 21:24, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
- What about this pic:
-
-
- I'll change it. Jesussaves 23:01, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
-
Even though that picture isn't her best, it's the cover of her recent CD, so I'm gonna change it.
[edit] Error on song identity
The song, "Wait For Me", that appeared on The O.C., was written by Joan Jett and performed by the Runaways -- episode name, "The Girlfriend", date 9/9/03. [4] [5] 1diot 21:14, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Remixes
Is "Remixes" an actual album, or is it just an EP? I think it's just an EP, but I'm not sure. Anybody know? 24.208.96.72 17:17, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Nope. It is NOT an album. It is an extended play. Jesussaves 23:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Plus it's out-of-print. if you have it, it's pretty valuble.
[edit] Singles?
Does anyone have a list of Rebecca's singles? If you do, it would be great if you would give me a link to their tracks so that I can add them to Wikipedia. Thanks!!! Jesussaves 23:39, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- A good suggestion is to look on her website and see if there are any listed on there. Or, you could go here.--Chili14TalkContribs 19:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
Should we add a lsit of her singles to the page? Jesussaves 21:56, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Probably. It's a good idea, but a few of her singles don't have articles. btw, what's the difference between Albums and Singles? ~Sushi 03:41, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
nvm, I looked up EP ~Sushi 03:45, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
A single is a song that the artist decides to put out on the radio. All the songs you hear on the radio are singles. A single is just a song from an album that gets to radio. They don't always release a CD for a single, but sometimes they do.
[edit] Is she married?
Just wonderring if she's married or not... HyperSushi21 02:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC) 02:16, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
- Not currently. Wordbuilder 17:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
- Just so you know, she is one of the biggest advocates of sexual purity in Christian music, right along there with BarlowGirl. Wait for Me is one of her most well-known songs. If/when she gets married, we will all know.--Chili14(Talk to me!|What I Do?) 04:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Books
How many books has she written/ What are they? ~Sushi 04:19, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
- You can see the list of books in the "bibliography" section of the article. 24.208.96.72 18:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Surfonic Water Revival
Should it be removed from the discography? It isn't a St. James album, she only sings one song on it. There are a handful of albums on which she only sings a song or two, and I don't think they should be listed in the discography. 24.208.96.72 20:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia defines discography as "A listing of all recordings which a musician or singer is on..." So the song itself would count, but since the rest of the list is in albums, it makes sense that the album be listed or pplz might think that the name of the song is an actual album. If you put the name of the song she sings next to the name of the album, it might clarify things a bit. ~Sushi 06:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I Believe in God: RSJ Treasury
I'm not quite sure that this is actually an album so I removed it. If the user who added it could kindly give a source for proof that such an album exists, I would appreciate it. ;) 24.208.96.72 17:10, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh that! Sorry... That's the list of the songs that I think should be on her next best of album. It's not a real album. Sorry... I probably should've posted it in here to see what people thought about it... Hmmm...
[edit] NEW LIVE ALBUM!!!
Yes, it's coming in the spring/summer. It's officially said that RSJ will release a live DVD/CD of her If I Had One Chance... Tour! So rad!!! Plus you can get a sneak peek if you huy the WOW HIts 2007 DVD, cuz it has "God Help Me" LIVE!!!
[edit] Citations
This article doesn't cite any of its sources! We really need to find citations for all the info in here. 24.169.255.232 19:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I've helped some on that! 66.191.27.139 20:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hey Everyone! No Deleting...
My picture of her name! It's her official title card! Thanx! TickleTot 00:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I don't know is this is true...
It says Relient K thinks she's "HOT!" Even if this is true it makes no sense to post it. So I'm deletin' it! 66.191.27.139 20:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
I also changed her Years Active thing. She actually technically started in '93. That's when she started recording and was signed and stuff. She even thinks of it as her 1st year, b/c she released her Best Of in 2003, 10 years after she started, so I t5hink you get my point! 66.191.27.139 20:09, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
