Talk:Back Dorm Boys

message: It is very important to independently source and cite the statement that the Blogger site has been "proven" to be a hoax.  At the moment there is an indirect point within the text (not the appropriate way to verifiably source something on Wikipedia) to a blogger saying that he tracked an email from the author of the blog site and it was in Amsterdam - that doesn't "prove" anything, and the source is of questionable verifiability by my lights, given that this is an accusation of hoaxing, which is pretty strong.  What do other editors think? I think it should be deleted until something a bit stronger can be sourced, or perhaps multiple blogger investigations with all evidence posted?

message: I'm removed all reference to the controversy over the authorship of the English-language Back Dorm Boys blog on Blogger.  I think it's pretty obvious looking at the Blogger site that it's a hoax, but the other blog linked to did not really PROVE this.  Better evidence comes from plain old common sense.  The BDB have a contract with Sina.com, so why would they have an English blog hosted by another site?  Why would they devote their English blog primarily to linking to other English blogs, when their official Chinese blog mostly talked about their daily lives and school activities?  But it's unlikely that solid proof will ever come to light unless the hoaxer decided to reveal himself, and I don't think we need to waste time and space on the issue here.  More important is providing factual, sourced information about the BDB themselves.  CKarnstein 18:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article photo shows (and the caption names) 3 people, but the article only mentions two. I know nothing about this, perhaps someone with more knowledge should adress this? Random89 00:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Jayvivi.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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
