Talk:Skinny Bitch

message: Fightingirishlass wishes to add the following:
*The radio talk show hosts Eric and Kathy of WTMX The Mix 101.9 talked about this book before Victoria Beckham was seen with it and when NBC came out with the Beckham promotion of the book and forgot to mention WTMX, the radio hosts called the president of NBC and he admitted it was neglectful of them not to mention the radio show's promotion of the book. I heard the entire conversation.
Unfortunately, what someone may or may not have heard is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia standards... in fact it amounts to what we call Original research, and is against our policy.  We need to have it reported by a reliable third party.
Please note that I am not questioning whether this information is true, nor am I saying it is false.  For all I know it is one hundred percent true.  It's truth is besides the point.  WP:Verifiability requires us to back what we say by citing reliable sources.  If you want to add the material about WTMX and NBC, you need to cite some reliable source that talks about it.

message: The article has plenty about its publication and sales history, but almost nothing actually about the book. --Delirium (talk) 01:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  so what does the book actually say? 

message: There should be more information on the authors, particularly Rory Freedman.  We should also have a picture of her since she is quite attractive.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.181.208.154 (talk) 05:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: More importantly, why doesn't Rory have her own entry?  She's an author of a series of best-selling books.   PicturesofDoodie (talk) 00:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The article says After finishing the manuscript, the authors had Amy Joy Lanou, senior nutrition scientist for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, vet their work. However, the article on Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that The PCRM has been criticized by the website, Activistcash, because "Less than 5% of their members are physicians", which can lead to misinformation about food. Is this an issue relating to WP:UNDUE or WP:RS? Autarch (talk) 13:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Have removed the mention of this organisation because it has a similar agenda to the authors and the above mentioned questioning of its' reliability as a source.Autarch (talk) 17:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Why is there a quote from the owner of one bookstore in the reaction section? Isn't the fact that the bookstore has sold many copies damning WRT to the reliability of the opinion, not to mention the notability of this individual is nonexistent.98.240.67.27 (talk) 23:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
