thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Cover My Struggle.jpg

message: I reverted the following paragraph "Aside from her amazing vocal abilities, Vonzell has real business savvy. Following her amazing performances on American Idol, she created and launched her own record label, Melodic Records. Vonzell is presently putting the finishing touches on her highly anticipated Premier CD release. Reguarding to her website"
The paragraph was taken directly from Vonzell's website , which at the bottom states "Copyright © 2006-2007 Vonzell "Baby V" Solomon  All Rights Reserved". Aspects (talk) 05:06, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

message: (I have copied this discussion between myself and Johnny Spasm from User talk:Johnny Spasm to hear to reach a wider audience and try and reach some sort of consensus on the subject.  I have twice,  and , tried to change all but the opening Vonzell's in the article to Solomon per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies), only to have Johnny Spasm revert them back saying she goes by "Vonzell" professionally, which I have yet to see proof of.

replies: text: First off I would argue that Vonzell Solomon is not fairly well know as simply "Vonzell."  Typing "Vonzell" in Google, of the first ten searches only the first one does not list "Vonzell Solomon" in the link.  The first link is Vonzell Solomon's own website which on the front states 'Vonzell "Baby V" Solomon.'  That shows if she is know by any pseudonym it is "Baby V" not "Vonzell."  Even if she was well known as "Vonzell," she is also know as professionally as "Vonzell Solomon": "For people well-known by one-word names, nicknames or pseudonyms, but who often also use their legal names professionally (i.e. musician/actors Beyoncé Knowles, André Benjamin, Jennifer Lopez; doctor/broadcaster Dr. Drew Pinsky), use the legal surname." Aspects (talk) 20:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Here is a link to the Vonzell search:  .  The first link is her own page that I talked about before.  The next nine links all have "Vonzell Solomon" in the link. Aspects (talk) 02:30, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Link #1 has 'Vonzell "Baby V" Solomon" at the top.  Links #2-9 have "Vonzell Solomon" at the top.  Link #10 uses "Vonzell Solomon" but not at the top.  Nowhere do I see anything showing she goes just by "Vonzell" professionally, but I do see her sometimes using "Baby V" as a pseudonym. Aspects (talk) 04:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: Being able to tell you what is on each page should let you know I read them.  I have yet to see any proof that she goes professionally by "Vonzell."  As a means of reaching a wider audience on this, I am copying this entire discussion and posting it on Talk:Vonzell Solomon. Aspects (talk) 15:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

text: She is not best known as "Vonzell" she is best known as "Vonzell Solomon" there subsequent use of her name should be "Solomon." Aspects (talk) 16:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well with three months of no proof Vonzell Solomon is known professionally as "Vonzell", I am going to changed subsequent use of her name as "Solomon". Aspects (talk) 16:43, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

text: I have looked her up on other sources. All other sources I've found-- including the American Idol website and Vonzell Solomon's website refer to her as "Vonzell" in the article. I don't understand why Wikipedia's entry needs to be different. "Vonzell" is not a professional name, but it is what she is commonly called in articles about her--Johnny Spasm (talk) 13:52, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This is the AI page for her  using "Vonzell Solomon". Please check out Google search of AI news . The official Vonzell Solomon site clearly has Vonzell "BabyV" Solomon on the home page. The official site clearly has no problem with her full name; why do you? So far, I see nothing you've said either supports your claim nor deals with the opinion I gave. You now need to supply links to professional use of "Vonzell", sites that have to use her name of professional choice. If you can't, you must stop going against Wikipedia policy. You have a responsibility to listen and either seriously justify any changes you want with evidence or accept the opinion. (And note Baseball Bugs's comments below.) --Doktorspin (talk) 22:59, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Fan sites typically use first names, as Doktorspin notes above. I'm not seeing what you're seeing in American Idol, but my guess would be they call all the contestants by their first names, in context. Encyclopedic writing requires use of last name. The clincher is your own admission that "Vonzell" is not her professional name (as contrasted with Madonna (entertainer), for example). And lose the accusations of meatpuppetry (as with your edit summary) unless you either think you have evidence, or are wanting to get blocked.
