[edit] Age

How old or when is Amber's Birthday?

In a 2005 episode of Gadgets and Gizmos she states she is 28.

Then she couldn't have been born in 1971. Until someone can confirm the birth year, I'm editing it out. 71.230.68.176 00:48, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Actually she said she was 29.

Someone just edited her birthdate to make her 10 years older. Can anyone confirm this, or should i change it back? Yavoh 21:36, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone's fixed it. Thanks, whoever you are. Yavoh 23:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Someone set her birthdate to January 3 to reflect the birthday on her Facebook profile (which she confirms is not accurate), but I know for a fact (and she has verified this for me) that her birthday is in June. I changed it back to the correct date (June 27). I'm unsure about the year so I left it alone; somebody might want to look into that. Gabriel. 02:36, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

The new net@nite podcast here: http://aolradio.podcast.aol.com/insidethenet/NATN-026.mp3 has Leo talking about Amber's upcoming birthday. He doesn't know how old she is, though, guesses around 31 or 32.

[edit] Porn?

An anonymous user added that Amber MacArthur was in several Canadian porn films. A Google search failed to verify this. Since, if false such statements qualify as defamation, I removed it. Can anyone verify this conclusively as true/false? --Zwilson 06:14, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Highly doubt it. -- Zanimum 19:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note:

Somebody under the ip User:70.50.136.151 wrote in the article that Amber is leaving G4techTV. It is confirmed on her blog at http://ambermac.typepad.com/ambermac/2006/08/to_all_the_g4te.html

I will clean up that section and re post it. Ampersand2006 ^{( & )} 18:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I have re-written the section and put in a proper reference to the blog article; also came up with a better section title other than "She Is Leaving G4TechTV" and better grammar than this user used (i.e. Typing Every First Letter In Capitals Like This.) Tell me how you like it? Also, feel free to make a small change to the section and maybe even come up with a better title than what I have done. Thanks! ;) Ampersand2006 ^{( & )} 18:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amber MacArthur to many irons in the fire

I know Amber Macarthur is young and smart but she is spreading herself to thin and it’s going to catch up with her. She needs to slow down and to focus. Mike Scott

Sorry, but this isn't the place for commentary. -- Zanimum 19:08, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New image

I've added a new image of Amber. She agreed via MySpace email to release any of her pics as CC for Wikipedia. -- Zanimum 18:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] GA Fail, pointers

Sorry but this is a fail.

• The article is too short, almost a stub.
• Remove the fan website from external links
• A lot of one sentence paragraphs throughout the article
• Check {{cite web}} to see how to format references
• External link in the middle of text, This Week in Tech network at twit.tv/ITN.
• She is perhaps best known for the series, remove perhaps

Basically the article needs to be expanded a lot and formatted. good-luck feel free to try again for GA once these issues are dealt with. M3tal H3ad 06:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

As for "remove perhaps", there is no way to definitively decide what a person is best known for. The perhaps leaves it purposely ambiguous, in case her TWiT appearances are more notable. -- Zanimum 21:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Good point, how about 'well known'? M3tal H3ad 02:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Needs Cleanup

This article needs to be cleaned. There are too many un-cited statements in the "Personal life" section. Article is very short and feels bloated. Maybe it deserves a Stub template?
