[edit] Improvement

Though i wrote this article, in its entirety (and just finished making some improvements) i will still freely admit that it needs A LOT of work. Wickedxjade 10:38, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

its not that bad. it maybe needs a picture, even though there is a picture of her on the OTEP page. The juggsd86 15:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

alrighty, i added a pic...im going to upload another but for now this'll have to do, im having problems with the licensing of about a dozen others that i have :( [i took the one that's up now as to avoid further issue].

Okay, im off to go review the article on better writing practices so i can improve this ;) Wickedxjade

[edit] Trivia

I know you don't have to but...why don't people sign this page? Parts of the trivia section were removed and I'd really like to know why, becasue most likely...I'll be reverting them back...

Toodles.

wickedxjade

why is this on the trivia?

"She preaches a false message and can't back up what she says... Leading a false revolution."—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ich überwinde (talk • contribs) 05:57, 28 April 2007 ^^^son of an F, you effing vandalized the article twice...does that make you happy? does it make you feel good..if you don't like the message don't listen, wikipedia IS NOT the place to voice your convoluted/spiteful opinions, it's not an open forum!

But hey...why don't you myspace her and tell her how you feel...im sure she'd LOVE to hear it.

[edit] Child Abuse?

If her credibility regarding her birth name and age are in doubt, why is accepted as face value that she had an abusive childhood? Would it be more appropriate to preface it with "she states," and include a citation? Squirrelcar 11:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

If you feel that should be done then i suppose that's what you should do.

I'm not sure if she even stated that, but it seems pretty evident from her lyrics and poems.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.91.170.100 (talk • contribs) 16:28, 30 May 2007

I agree. That's why I don't like this sentence: "Other than the fact that she had a tumultuous and traumatic childhood riddled with abuse, (both physical and emotional), and that she's an "out" lesbian, much of everything else is left to the imagination of her fans." I think it should be changed or removed. Sion 00:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

^^you might be right...I'll try and reword that.wickedxjade 05:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The things about Nirvana have to go...they belong one the bands page (if anywhere at all). wickedxjade 00:05, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I've removed the mention of child abuse as, without a reliable source, it violates the Biographies of living persons policy. In fact, the whole article seriously needs some references.--BelovedFreak 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 'Citation Needed'

I know that we need to cite sources and everything; But the tags are above pretty much every fact on the page, even the ones which don't necessarily need citation, such as 'She is best known for her role as vocalist and namesake of OTEP.[citation needed]' Must they ALL be there?
