[edit] A Little Respect Please

AJC has worked her butt off throughout her career and deserves better than the US college boy treatment continually longing for an HFH foldout with her nipples brushed by Christie's editors. If you are going to expound for a mile and a half about her supposed ambivalent attitude towards doing the 'AMERICAN THING' like every 'Kristi san Misti' before her THEN BACK IT UP - use citations.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:TenFeetHigh.jpg

Image:TenFeetHigh.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 03:55, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA review

  • three siblings, Caroline, Sharon and Jim. As a band, she and her 3 siblings are - repetition of three siblings (also either use 3 or three)
  • They are also - who is "they" you were referring to Corr - remove the redundant "also"
  • link tin whistle upon first mention in the text
  • You have reference in the middle of sentences which break up the prose, why not put them at the end of sentences for readability
  • Caroline and Jim play keyboards - play -> played, past tense
  • Moreover, - what's the use of this term at the start of the sentence?
  • Delink solo years, 1990 -> 1990
  • n 1990, she and her siblings formed a quartet, called The Corrs.[20] Andrea had joined the band directly from school. - does not flow well, merge the two together
  • The album sold well in Ireland and in Australia, Japan, and Spain. - is not well written and does not go well with the other sentences
  • lukewarm responses -> lukewarm reviews
  • The album was initially met with lukewarm responses but when they released a new version, it topped the charts in many countries -> re-write sentence
  • This track was also featured on Th
  • Home is regarded as a traditional Irish album; the band covered many traditional Irish songs [42] taken from their mother's songbook[43]to commemorate their 15 years as a band.[44] - references at the end of the sentence please
  • Andrea launched a solo career. She released her first solo album - you say she launched a solo career, no need to again mention a solo album
  • Are you going to refer to her as Corr or Andrea? it changes throughout the article and needs to be consistent
  • Corr formally entered the film industry in
  • They are also ambassadors
  • Queen Elizabeth II.[60]The Corrs have been keen - space after reference
  • n recognition for their charity performances, the Corrs were made Honorary Members of the Order of the British Empire in 2005 by Queen Elizabeth II. - you DO realize this sentence appears twice in the same paragraph?
  • All references need a publisher, retrieve date, date and author if applicable like reference 23
  • A lot of the information in The Corrs section relates to the band, not Andreas, try trim it down.
Once these are taken care off I'm going to have to run through the article again as there are quite a bit of awkward sentences. M3tal H3ad (talk) 04:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
As you are on holiday i am removing the GA tags, get back to me when you return. M3tal H3ad (talk) 03:27, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Remove weasel words like "Mistress sings the memorable", "a launching pad for The Corrs' career ", have been keen philanthropists - keen", "Unlike their previous albums, In Blue broke away from folk rock to become pop music" - who said this?, remove links to solo years, make the spelling of English words consistent with either American or British spelling, depending upon the subject of the article. Examples include: honor (A) (British: honour), honour (B) (American: honor), meter (A) (British: metre), travelled (B) (American: traveled). M3tal H3ad (talk) 04:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I think I've addressed these problems. Please take a look and suggest further re-improvements. By the way, do I have to re-nominate this article for the GA review? σмgнgσмg 05:11, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
The Corrs section is written like it would on The Corrs page. Only keep relevant information relating to Andrea, and no you don't. M3tal H3ad (talk) 07:32, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about the delay, but the Corrs' section's information relates to Andrea Corr. I just reworded it and rewrote some sections. Have a look. σмgнgσмg 01:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religion

Andrea Corr is definetely a Roman Catholic. Look at these quotations. "Andrea wrote the lyrics to a song called Humdrum which featured on the last album, about the way people sometimes take each other for granted in marriages. “I would like to marry somebody with the knowledge that if he’s not treating me right, or he’s taking me for granted, I’ll leave – I don’t want to take somebody else for granted, either,” the singer says, adding: “I know that’s probably controversial on a Catholic level.” She likes the ‘steadiness’ of marriage. “I would like to say ‘that’s my husband’ or I’d like to have a next of kin, if something happens.”"Mistico (talk) 17:15, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Aside from the fact that nothing in that proves she's a Roman Catholic (there are different meanings of the word 'Catholic' in any case), the category is specifically for "Members of the Roman Catholic Church, either past or present for whom their membership was or is a defining characteristic or related to their notability". So - priests, nuns, saints, martyrs, etc. Not pop singers. Except maybe Dana. BastunBaStun not BaTsun 17:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Also, her religion has to be notable and relevant to the article. σмgнgσмg 23:51, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Also musicians, writers, politicians, scientists, etc. In what world do you live ? Look at other categories related with religion.85.244.55.239 (talk) 19:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

That makes no sense... musicians, writers, politicians, scientists, etc., who achieve notability becuase of their music, writing, political activity and contributions to science get categorised appropriately. Should we also add Andrea Corr to 'white people', 'people with black hair' and 'people with siblings' categories - no, because she's not notable for any of those things.
