Talk:Miriam McDonald

message: Generally, the lede section in a biography should be discussing what a person is notable for. McDonald is not notable for yoga (based on three self-produced youtube videos). (In any case, she is clearly not claiming to be a "guru".)
A couple of weekends ago, I installed a new dishwasher. Am I now a plumber? If I balance my checkbook and do my taxes, do I become an accountant? (While I haven't put up videos of either, I've certainly discussed them on Facebook and Twitter.)
Any number of notable people have worked as cashiers, servers, landscapers, etc. before their "fame". We don't list these because they are not relevant. Note, for example, Pete Best "...is a British musician, principally known as the original regular drummer in the Beatles." not "...is a British musician and delivery truck loader...".

text: We could of course, directly cite her videos without interpreting them. Like if she said "I will be your yoga teacher" or something. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 04:53, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I noticed in the 2008 AOL interview she mentions the nickname Billy she's had since 5 years old. Is this worth mentioning? 184.145.18.50 (talk) 04:48, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

message: While checking the state of cites here, I begin to wonder if we have a cite to support this. Is she ever credited using her middle name? I only ever recall seeing her referred to as MM not MKM. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 04:56, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Should we call her a former actress? I noticed this and am wondering if it is appropriate. Do we have a source stating she is retired? How long from the last confirmed role does it need to be before we say something like this?
Sure it's about roughly 2 years since Wolves, but consider that she has had 2 year lapses between roles before: 1999 and 2001 initially, then 2010 and 2012. I think we should wait until at least 2017 and knowing no 2016 roles happened before jumping to conclusions like this. For that reason am removing the word. 184.145.18.50 (talk) 05:00, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Why Miriam McDonald doesn't have a photo on her Wikipedia article while my least favorite Degrassi star Aislinn Paul has? SMH!

replies: text: , you are at liberty to 1) find a free image that might be available on a site like Flickr. Be sure that it is licensed for our purposes (typically this would be a share-and-share-alike license) otherwise it is not considered free. Upload it, and be sure to properly attribute the copyright holder. If that's beyond your level of interest or skill set, you can 2) add an  template to the top of the talk page as I have done here and someone will eventually come by and add an image. Frustration free. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:52, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

text: According to WP:DOB, information like birth dates must be well-sourced. Aislinn Paul tweeted her birth date, so it's included. McDonald's full birth date isn't included because there's no source for it in the article. If you know of one that satisfies WP:V and WP:RS, please provide it. clpo13(talk) 18:42, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

text: We cannot include information that isn't supported by a reliable source or, in the case of personal info, published by the person themselves (e.g., on a verified Twitter account). This is not an issue of "fans" adding or removing anything. EvergreenFir (talk) Please  19:06, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Somethings not right!  

message: Miriam McDonald is still one of my favorite Degrassi Legends, but why her years active says 1998-2014 while Aislinn Paul (the other Degrassi star who is not one of my favorites) got Years Active: 2000s-present? SMH! Something's not right again! 
I was jealous when I seen the Years Active of Wikipedia articles of Miriam McDonald and Aislinn Paul while Aislinn is still acting, while Miriam is not active. SMH!
