message: Is she really deserving of a wikipedia page?
:Depends on how you define notable. Her list of articles and her TV appearances might make her notable enough. Though I really don't think we need her ENTIRE list of appearances and press submissions listed in the article. Blade 18:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Notability

message: This page had gotten way out of control, listing every article and performance she'd been a part of. It read like a resume and was out of proportion for her notability. I edited way down. Blade 19:57, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Major Edits

message: Myself being the sole editor of the wikki and a personal friend of Tonya Kay i do admit some bias. Though most the information i can gleam as of the moment is from her bio, or say resume,  I am trying to fit it within the guidelines of no bias. So give me time. She did personally write out the early years section herself. I posted it up. As to notability, doesn't practically everyone, that doesn't deserve  one have one. 
If anyone has any questions or comments please speak up? Also this is my first wikki article some help would be greatly appreciated.
:Well, welcome to Wikipedia! I suggest you look at the Wikipedia:Tutorial, especially Wikipedia:Tutorial (Keep in mind) and Wikipedia:Notability (people). The longer the article, the greater the implied notability. Remember that articles need a neutral tone and have verifiable facts. Statements like "Tonya is perfectly insane" are not neutral, nor is it verifiable (unless a psychologist has written an article about the perfection of her insanity *grin*). Also, Tonya's account of her childhood may not be relevant, given her notability. Remember, the audience you are shooting for is the general reader. Additionally, unless it's been published in a secondary source, constitutes original research, which is against Wikipedia policy. Hope this helps! Blade 01:27, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright

message: This reads like it was written by someone who doesn't speak english and just went off their meds or something, what the heck happened here?
--- Tonya Kay is a magickal Child ----
what?
----from Michigan farmlands since age 4 and playing Cosmic Muse even longer----
what does this even mean?
---Tonya Kay is a raw food athlete.----
Again, I'm simply perplexed.
---Her, performances include 3 years in Stomp She believes, that she is living proof of what a child raised by love grows up to be.----
Apart from punctuation and such this makes the most sense so far.
----In 2006 Tonya Kay quickly became a household name as well as a cult icon with an appearance as the fruit-eating superhero, Creature, on SciFi's Creature----
A household name? Ehm, no. A cult figure? Possibly, but how can one be both a household name and a cult figure?
----she is an performing dancer, raw vegan, and compulsive gypsy.----
Ehm, compulsive gypsy? Is that like being a pathological jew or clinically asian?
---and current commercial appearance as the 14 inch high gremlin, in the Progressive Auto Insurance Commercial. Tonya Kay has also made a presence known by being a Dominatrix dancer for the mega hit band Panic At The Disco's on their most recent Continental Tour.----
Well, that's at least comprehensible

thread_title:  Is this a joke? 

message: Fixed a mix-up on my part. The sentence reading "She was voted out of the contest partially because she did not reveal that she was a professional entertainer at the time, instead of an amateur talent that the producers were looking for." has been replaced with a more correct one. The contestant eliminated from Season 1 Who Wants to be a Superhero?for not being an amateur entertainer was Mary Votava (Monkey Woman). -- Yamara 21:44, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry about including the birth name, I have removed it from the article and I placed a note not to include it. WP:BLP is our policy on how we deal with articles on people who are living or are recently deceased. Thanks for giving us a photograph. I hope you don't mind, but I am having a few other people looking at the article to check on formatting and other issues. Thank you again. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 21:02, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Bad editor, no gluten-free seaweed biscuit

message: Hi, Z.  Thanks for helping.
I really like the header pushed up too.  But then it is uneditable and the text is not matching what I had intended.  Oh, and thank you so much for removing my birth name.  Thank you for understanding.
There must be a better way to communicate with you about specific changes, but this discussion board is the only way I can see to do it.
:This might be shocking to you, but I noticed you talked to a "Zachary Harden" via the Wikipedia. This is the shocker; I am him. So, pretty much, my personal email is open, OTRS is open and I am not sure what else I can suggest. This discussion board is perfect for editing the article, but there are some privacy issues still, email is the best to go. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 21:08, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what you mean by text becoming uneditable. The entire article can be edited, either each section with the '[edit]' link, or the entire article with the edit tab at the top of the article. (The text above the first section header is only editable by editing the article as a whole - maybe that's what you mean.) Generally speaking, this is the best place for discussion on the article - articles are community effort, so this is the best place for the conversation on that. :) Oh, and remember to sign your posts using four tildes (~~~~). That adds a signature to your post. Blade 02:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: She meant that she couldn't fix the heading (tier one). That is pretty much as a title. But I am sure that, if she wants to know how the format works, we can teach her. Plus, not only you can do the four tildes (to the left of the 1 key, you have to press shift in order to type the tilde), but you can use the signature button in a tool bar when you are editing a page, such as this. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 02:36, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

text: If you are wondering how the title can be fixed, that would have to be done by a page move. I can perform that for you, we just need the new title. But as for normal editing, there is a bunch of tabs at the top of the article. They include talk, move, edit, watch (for admins, there is more things that appear). You can press that to edit. Or, what you can do is go to the section headings (they will have a edit button towards the far right). Press that and you can edit the section only and leave the rest of the article alone.

text: I'll remove it for you. Anyways, the way references are usually done in Wikipedia is by using the following format: Your source. At the bottom of the article, if an editor adds either </references> or , all of the references will be listed. In order to remove a reference, what you need to do is edit the section where it is at. I will give you a template or two to look at and see what you can do. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:32, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

text: We got the SCIFI show mentioned in the sentence, that you are a dancer. We also mentioned about the other performances you did in a later section. The lead section, lets say, is a summary of the article. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:14, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hey, fellow Wiki Editor! 

message: The target of these links provide images of secondary and third-party sources that need to be attributed to the article as inline references. A list of unattributed links attached to the article does nothing to establish notability for inclusion on Wikipedia. Notability needs to be established through reliable sources. As such, I believe these images may assist in that endeavor. Please do not delete this list until all attributions are made. Thank you. Cindamuse (talk) 13:01, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images of secondary and third-party sources 

message: If it is possible, or there is a compromise of sorts. Is there a way to keep Tonya's birthdate out of the article? Also since, I am not a professional wiki maker,  Mistress of Darkness aka Tonya has stated there is portions that she cannot edit. Which I personally do not understand, since I believed anyone with a user account has the same access?  Is there  different privileges for different sets of editors? I am able to edit anything on Wikipedia yet she seems to have  limited access, If anyone has any input.  I would like to clarify this issue.
