Talk:Alicia Loxley

message: On todays "Today" show Alicia Gorey told everyone she was "40" today and no one disagreed with her. She dosen't look 40 but I don't know why she would make herself 10 years older. Mirrabooka (talk) 06:59, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Robbo128 has twice  changed the occupation in the info box to "Journalist & News Presenter" and I have twice reverted  to "Journalist & news presenter". MOS:CAPS is - to me - quite clear on this: "Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization." Neither "news" nor "presenter" is a proper noun in this context, so should not be capitalised. Robbo128, could you please refrain from capitalising them, or explain here why you think they should be capitalised - citing the relevant part of MOS:CAPS.

thread_title:  "Journalist & News Presenter" vs "Journalist & news presenter" 

message: Robbo128, could you please explain why you think we need to start the 2nd sentence with "Gorey" (your edits: )? Yes, it's a new paragraph, but given that the first para is only one short sentence, I don't think the reader is going to have any trouble remembering who we are talking about. (Hence my reverts: .)

replies: text: And again. . Robbo128, could you comment here please. Do other editors have an opinion on the matter? Mitch Ames (talk) 03:01, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

text: And again. . I'm still happy to discuss this, if someone wants to venture an opinion. Mitch Ames (talk) 09:09, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "She" vs "Gorey" starting 2nd sentence 

message: I've asked for help at WT:Manual of Style/Biographies#How to handle name changes? about whether we should change all instances of the name. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've commented on MoS/Bio saying I agree with the current proposal - 1. Change article title to Loxley, 2. First sentence is "Alicia Loxley (nee Gorey, born 19 September 1981) ", 3. Use Gorey until wedding and Loxley thereafter, 4. Let other media and/or articles use what ever they like. It make take a while for others to be as current as Wiki.

thread_title:  Do we change all instances of her name to Loxley? 

message: Robbo128, please read MOS:CAPS, in particular WP:JOBTITLES. We do not capitalise common nouns. I concede that the first word of the job title can be capitalised because it is explicitly on a new line (ie it is preceded by ) so starts a new "sentence", but the second and subsequent words should not be capitalised. We seem to be WP:EDITWARing over this on multiple pages, and this is not the way things should be done. I have repeatedly cited - in the edit summaries and/or the article talk pages and/or your talk page - the MOS guidelines as justification for my edits, but you seem to be ignoring them, and giving no justification for your capitalisation. If you disagree with me, please discuss the matter on the talk page rather than simply reverting. Thank-you. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:55, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Capitalisation 

message: This edit says she is pregnant, citing the Herald Sun and "subscription required". (See also previous unreferenced edit and my previous reversion). However I can't find any mention of the announcement (other then Wikipedia itself) on any of:
* Google search for "Alicia Loxley pregnant"
* Google search for "Alicia delivers baby news"
* Searching the Herald Sun for "Alicia Loxley"
* Loxley's twitter page
I find it very difficult to believe that there is no visible mention of it on the internet (even if the announcement is recent). Consequently I have removed the paragraph again, on WP:BLP grounds. I suggest that some verifiable (without subscription) reference ought to be provided for this, to satisfy BLP requirements. Mitch Ames (talk) 14:42, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It appeared with a direct quote from Loxley on page 17 of the Herald Sun. Not sure how much information you want - references don't have to be freely available online, just verifiable. Here's an expanded citation.

text: OK I'm convinced :-) and I've restored the paragraph, adding the URL. I know that refs don't have to be freely available - perhaps I was being overly cautious. It would probably be good to add a freely available source, if one should turn up (which I'm sure it will eventually). Mitch Ames (talk) 11:55, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
