[edit] Fear of disappearing album cover galleries & lists

OK, this is just fair warning, for anybody who loves the discography gallery:

For those of you who remember a recent upset where "fair use laws" were enforced and those who didn't comply had their photos deleted from the page? Well it looks like the next annoying wave of Wikipedia policy enforcement is going to be wiping out "non-free" images from galleries and lists. The first victim was the Yolanda Adams discography that I spent some personal time working on. Their justification per Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria is that "non-free" images within galleries are "considered decorative." So some administrators are going through and sweeping out all photos from lists and galleries such as discographies and videographies, etc. So if you've done any work that you really value, I suggest that you take a backup copy of the photos or otherwise archive it yourself. Wikipedia is not being friendly about these things for whatever reason. Souldier77 17:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of birth

I tagged the date of birth in this article because Nicole has generally NOT been willing to share how old she is. Her standard answer is "I'm older than Britany (sic) and younger than Janet" [1]; assuming this refers to Britney Spears (December 2, 1981) and Janet Jackson (May 16, 1966), the date given barely qualifies. More importantly: (a) At least three years of "happy birthday" posts on Nicole's official forum [2] indicate her birthday is January 3rd, not June 26th; and (b) certain other little-known facts in her life (let's just say they're related to the abusive past she mentioned in her recent Christianity Today interview [3], and leave it at that) suggest a birth year in the early-to-mid 1970's is more likely. (Indeed, her abusive past may have something to do with why she's unwilling to give out her actual date of birth.) Whoever provided the June 26, 1967 date, PLEASE provide a reference! --RBBrittain 12:23, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Also note that Nicole's IMDb page [4] shows a birthdate of January 3, 1964; though the month and day match up with the forum posts, the year does NOT match either her standard answer (it would make her OLDER than Janet) or the little-known facts I alluded to earlier. Because her birthdate at IMDb is questionable, I'm not linking it in the article proper just yet; nor am I entering the complete birth name shown on IMDb (though Coleman is in fact her maiden name, and also the "C." in her current name). --RBBrittain 05:12, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
