[edit] Gary Chapman

Why does Gary Chapman link back to Amy Grant? Entrprs6 16:58, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

  • They were both married to each other at one time. -TonyW 00:44, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I believe that the Gary Chapman article link does not redirect back to Amy Grant, and Amy's voice has always sounded better in the studio than live. --69.19.206.120 02:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

This problem was fixed 00:05, 29 March 2005. A redirect was on Gary's page, and it was fixed soon after.Antmusic 15:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hit Songs?

Most other artist pages indicate why the songs were considered hit songs. There needs to be some sort of chart rating, not that they were well-liked songs. If they were Billboard hits or high on some other chart, that should be noted, otherwise they should be removed.

I agree, and also there is quite a bit of text describing the theme and contet of songs which is not relevant to the subject of the article. --Eddylyons 19:32, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Individual song pages with chart information are being worked on & created everyday. The Amy section of pages on Wikipedia are looking great (thanks to everyone who has been working so hard on them including Supertrouperdc, 71.130.177.220 & Ieditwiki). I have created a lot of stubs to get people started, and I will continue to do so when I have time. Antmusic 16:18, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference please

In 1995, Amy was interviewed, pointing to Hootie & The Blowfish and Sheryl Crow, with their acoustic guitars and more rock-oriented music, and wondered what she was still doing on the pop side of things --Eddylyons 19:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] More information available from another Wiki

You can either quote it or link to it. http://christianmusic.wikia.com/wiki/Amy_Grant. Will 06:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early Life

Given a music contract at age 16. Needs more on early life and how she obtained that first contract. Wfoj2 13:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why is her discography missing "The Animals Christmas"?

"The Animals Christmas" album by Amy Grant and Art Garfunkel from 1986 (they were equally billed on this album... Jimmy Webb is also mentioned on the front of the album). Antmusic 22:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Heart In Motion.jpg

Image:Heart In Motion.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. BetacommandBot 23:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popular culture section

Per WP:TRIVIA, I have removed the majority of these items from this section. "Avoid creating lists of miscellaneous facts." Grant, like any other musician, has had her music played on a wide variety of areas, from TV to movies, to special events. This is not unusual, and does not warrant a list citing any time one of her songs was played. The article is about Grant, and information like her being parodied, or her album being seen in a quick shot on some TV show, is not relevant. I have kept two items that actually do relate directly to her, but those will need to be incorporated into the article's prose, per the manual of style's guideline. I didn't have the time to get to that just now, so am explaining the reasons here. Ariel♥Gold 19:40, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I have again removed the non-relevant items. As explained above, we do not need to know every television show or movie that used her song, or image, or any parody of her, they are not relevant to the person's biography. Please review the trivia guideline, given above, as well as the discussion page for the manual of style. Thanks! Ariel♥Gold 07:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
