thread_title:  From Articles for Creation, for 'Katie.com (Novel)' 

message: I just went to katie.com, and it seems that it just has a generic placeholder there, no porn at all.  I will adjust the article accordingly. WMFEssaywriter (talk) 10:34, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adult entertainment?  It doesn't seem so. 

message: We need an article name change. The original book title was: Katie.com: My Story. So this title is incorrect. Futhermore the book title has been changed to A Girl's Life Online since 2004. At present WP is only fueling the confusion and victimization of Katie Jones and her web site Katie.com.-- — Keithbob • Talk •  16:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes the website is dead now and up for sale. But yes the title is incorrect and isn't the most common name for this book. Most of the reviews I've found have "Katie.com: My Story". I agree that the name should be changed but also suggest making redirects to this article can be found.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 18:43, 13 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. It does not matter that Jones is no longer using the web address Katie.com. She may use it again in future and she may be selling it and the new owner will create a website there. Either way the current title is inaccurate and conflates the book with the domain name and perpetuates past confusion. For this reason I am renaming the article and creating a redirect page for the old name.-- — Keithbob • Talk •  13:45, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Article name change

message: It seems that the mentions of Parry Aftab threatening Jones, etc. were somehow whitewashed away. I put back a sentence or two about it, but I think the kerfluffle with the online community deserves more discussion. Andrevan@ 19:22, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Whitewashed? 

message: *I've amended the section to take out the word "threatened" and replaced it with 'tried to coerce'. The source does not use that word [threaten] or anything like it and per WP:BLP we have to be very careful about making unsubstantiated [and potentially legal] allegations about a living person. Here's what the source says:
**Parry Aftab got involved: she contacted Katie Jones and tried to persuade her to hand over the Katie.com site.
**Jones wrote at the time: She tried to convince me that I should donate the domain name to them. Secondly, she tells me that they're planning on launching some school curriculum thing to teach kids about online safety - and they're calling it Katie.com. Are they insane? No wonder they want me to hand it over.
**Aftab said she was not working with Tarbox, and accused Jones of having a hidden agenda.
I'm happy to discuss this as needed. Best, -- — Keithbob • Talk •  16:20, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
