message: I recently saw an interview including Kyra Phillips, John Seigenthaler, and Jimmy Wales... in this interview, Kyra claims that information on her page (in addition to information on John's page which no longer exists) is false; however, it should be clear that as an objective source, it's okay for a wikipedia article to say that one was "accused" by someone or some group by being something; providing the article does not validate or negate such allegations.  The objective fact is that Kyra has been accused by some people as having a bias, and that remains a fact whether or not she actually has a bias or not.  As for Seigenthaler, his view towards the first amendment contradicts his attack on Wikipedia in that Wikipedia functions as a community forum of factual information that must, by nature, be edit-able by anyone.  However, it is the responsibility of Wikipedia volunteers to seek out false information and bias and get rid of it so that the 99.999999% of Wikipedia that carries factual, objective information can retain its credibility. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 170.140.91.111 (talk • contribs) 15:37, December 5, 2005  (UTC)
:I don't hear Phillips say that anything on the page is false, she only complains that it isn't the way she wishes to present herself; she says the page makes her sound like "a right-wing commie" -- whatever that is.  However, the purpose of Wikipedia articles is not to present their subjects as their subjects would wish to be portrayed, so  her complaint has no merit. -- 68.6.40.203 06:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

text: "...it's not good for Wikipedia just now."????  So are we to change every article depending on which way the wind is blowing?  If something is a fact and notable, it should stay.  Period.  End of story.  Is this an encyclopedia or a PR department? Dismas|(talk) 13:08, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I never said "every".  Any which it is wise to change.  And that decision is not up to you or to me, but to the man whose sweat lies in this project.  Then his decisions must be final.  --VKokielov 16:28, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: CNN's bio says that Kyra has recieved four Emmy awards, but I can't find any reference to these awards anywhere. I don't think CNN is making this stuff up or anything, but I'd like to see an actual source about the awards in questions, so we can identify the specific awards in question and maybe even provide links to more information... just in case. -User:Fennec (はさばくのきつね) 19:40, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know how old she is? I saw somewhere that her birthday was in August 1968. If her Kyra Phillips is her real name, then there was a Kyra J. Phillips who lived in Texas that was born on May 8, 1961.--Fallout boy 05:17, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Just added her birthday as 8 August 1968 per this. That date makes sense if she got her undergrad degree around 1989 at age 20/21 per this. Jokestress 00:14, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: "Long after it was proven that tainted lobbyist Jack Abramoff did not directly donate any funds to Democrats in Congress, Kyra maintains in her reporting that both parties received funds from Abramoff, which is factually incorrect.  Many Republican members of Congress received funds directly from Abramoff, while some organizations he is tied with, have donated to Democrats.  Abramoff's investigation, is about his admittedly illegal actions, not those of people he was once affiliated with."

thread_title:  no source 

message: One expressly does NOT have to cite a Web link for an article to cite that article. It helps, but it is not a requirement. Otherwise, it is tantamount to saying that anything you can't find after five seconds on Google News is not verifiable or reliable - which, you'd agree, is horsepuckey. Of course, again, a five-second Google search found several references (including The Times Online) noting that the incident described in the FT citation did, indeed happen. FCYTravis 21:39, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Phillips is guilty of a poor comparison, more on the likes of a mishap or gaffe. We can cite the orignal transcript if we have to. It is sure to draw criticism, but please explain why such criticism is notable to her biography? Electrawn 21:45, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are misunderstanding what I said above.  I said it is poorly cited because it only cites to the issue, not to the article or page.  I explicitly said that either to hard-copy or web form would be good.  I continue to believe that this is poorly sourced without a full citation, but this may not be all that significant.  GRBerry 22:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  http://search.ft.com/searchResults?queryText=kyra+phillips&x=0&y=0&javascriptEnabled=true . FT back issues require a subscription. I make earlier claims that using FT as a source is outside FT's normal field of view for this article. The actual claim/statement supported by the source itself is just a poor analysis/comparison of the french riots to china by Phillips and is not really needed in the article. Just a notable incident. Electrawn 00:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When a colleague has to apologize for Phillips to the French Foreign Minister in front of a room full of journalists, I think that’s a rather noteworthy event in her career. Other sources -- we can combine the original Phillips quote with the New York Times quoting the "regrettable" response . There's also this article from the Bangkok newspaper, The Nation (Thailand) (not related to the other Nation). There's this French source Agence France-Presse had an article on March 29, 2006 titled "Un journaliste de CNN à Paris juge "regrettable" l'évocation de Tiananmen". AFP serves its news in French, English, Arabic, Spanish, German, Portuguese, and Russian, but I don’t think there’s a lot of English newspapers that subscribe to the AFP wire service. Yahoo does, but unfortunately doesn’t have this article. And AFP doesn’t let you search their website, but a staff member did post the article on the Liberation blog (scroll down for Isabel's comment), if anyone wants to use this to find a more reliable (and ideally English) source. -- Sungrazer 03:42, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The New York Times link here can readily be made into a full citation, so it is better than the Financial Times one that hasn't yet been made a full citation.  I'd treat the times bit as reliable, and I don't think which CNN person said it is important enough to chase down.  In fact, knowing that it was a correspondent is more significant than knowing a specific name.  GRBerry 14:05, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The name of the CNN reporter is Chris Burns.  It's right there in the article.  If you'd like a copy of the Financial Times article, I can email it to you.  There is no byline, so that's why the citation is incomplete. Gamaliel 14:11, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is no byline, its likely the opinion of the paper, and can be cited by "editorial board" or via style guides. Electrawn 14:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the more important part of the incompletion was not citing the article.  The citation was only to the paper and date.  Anyone trying to look it up as hard copy would want the title and/or page.  GRBerry 16:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The page number is now in the citation. Gamaliel 17:52, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Kyra has been engaged to Fox News correspondent John Roberts for 8 years. That's an awfully long time to be engaged. I wonder if that is still the case. Or maybe they secretly got married a few years ago and it's not in the article.
