[edit] External Links

I cleaned up the external links on 14/02/2007. A russian "portal" had been listing its 3 domain names in the external links section. I guess that fan page with no interesting content trying to abuse Wikipedia doesn't belong there. OrdinaryDay 17:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Here we go again... Could someone *else* select the links that should stay and the links that should go? OrdinaryDay 13:49, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Is something really very serious here? --Bhadani 11:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Biography

This isn't a biography--Domingo Portales 01:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

It is, or at least the Personal Life section is; a poor one, but we can do little about that, as she is very discreet about her personal life. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 09:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know why but 71.52.190.115 (talk · contribs) has been removing the text added by Domingo Portales over and over again [1]; please, 71.52.190.115, I beg you, explain us why. The text is well referenced (what can be better of one of her interviews?), and considering how difficult it is to obtain any data on her personal life, why do you keep removing it? Do you have any reason to doubt the sources? Please explain your edits, or I'll have to keep reverting them. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 18:47, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Because it has absolutely nothing to do with her birth. It's about how she was raised *after* her birth. I understand the need to put it somewhere because of the tiny amount of information about her, but it doesn't really fit in the part about her birth. Maybe you could try putting it in the footnote or something. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.52.190.115 (talk • contribs) 00:18, 11 May 2007.

That section is about her personal life, and the part is about her childhood; her birth can be (and is) stated with just one sentence. How she was raised can be considered part of that. Personally, if it wasn't sourced I'd have removed that information myself, but as she said it herself, I don't see any reason to hide it. --Εξαίρετος (msg) 10:06, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Well if it means that much to you guys to have it on, then I'm done messing with it. Though in note I didn't say to hide it either. It just seemed best to me to put elsewhere under her pesonal life, only an opinion though.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dolores O'Riordan - Are You Listening.jpg

Image:Dolores O'Riordan - Are You Listening.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 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.

[edit] Yodeling

Dolores is one best-known singer able to yodel, and she is mentioned in that article, so why not inserting it in the article? Fans should know where, among other of her singing abilities. Sobreira (parlez) 21:01, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

How about changing the template used here to include all of her singing styles and listing them there?Kresock (talk) 22:31, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
