message: Okay. You guys have been flipping the Asian half of her ethnic background back and forth between Chinese and Filipino for two weeks now. Figure out which is correct and stop messing around, please. Bearcat 10:57, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest it be left out until verified. -- Spinboy 15:17, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

text: For one thing, the word is Filipino, not "Flippino". For two, people keep changing it back to Chinese, so you need to provide a source, like a web article, to back it up. Your own personal experience doesn't count. As per Spinboy's suggestion, I'm going to change the word to "Asian"; it is not to be changed until there's a verifiable reference provided to support a more specific adjective. Bearcat 18:55, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

text: The stated context is that she is "of partial {Asian/Chinese/Filipino} heritage". This is valid encyclopedic information about her, which would invariably get reinserted if somebody tried to exclude it. I think it's better to resolve the issue than to simply pretend her cultural background doesn't exist. Since it's not written in such a way as to imply that being of Asian descent makes her not Canadian, I don't see it as problematic. Bearcat 00:09, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed; I was just citing possible interim terms ... or Asian-Canadian.  I tried to investigate the topic; to no avail, though.  Perhaps someone should just drop into her chat room and ask her?  E Pluribus Anthony 01:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Could you provide a link to where you looked it up? And the word is still F i l i p i n o. Bearcat 20:47, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I am a non-registering editor, but a regular and experienced editor at WP, and I and other undertook some considerable edits of this article today. 
Notably, whole sections remain unsourced—see section tags—and considerable material in the article, though having nearby citations, remains unsourced as well (since, upon checking, we failed to find particular sentence elements in those afixed sources). 
So, as unsightly as it might seem, this is the status of the article at present—the whole sections without sources violate WP policy and guidelines (but are left in, with the section tag, for the convenience of future editors). 
And the unsightly other sections (Early life, etc.) that do have some citations: the reason that the sentences therein are parsed as they are, with citations interspersed within the sentences, is that some, but not all of the material in those sentences is from those sources. To clean up those sentences, and to remove the section and article tags, we simply have to remediate the sloppy earlier work of composing this article, and make clear—as WP guidelines and policies require—where we have derived our purported facts. 
Personally, I would prefer moving the offending, unsourced sections (on the Canadian Idol competition, etc.) to Talk, and replacing them with single summary sentences derived from some published source. Further content can then be added back when specific further facts are found in new sources. That is, I think quality is more important than quantity, and I think the WP:OR violating (or plagiarised) content should come out. But I leave this to other regular, registered editors. 
Finally, I would note that none of the most critical biographical features of the article—place and date of birth, birth name, etc. are yet factually certain, as they are among the unsourced content. For sake of the article and its infobox, these are perhaps the first elements that should be verified and tied to sources.
