Talk:Bridget Marquardt

message: I think perhaps maby the infobox should be added to.  I have been curious as to what her height and weight (especially weight, lol) was.  She seems to be alot like Nicole Richie before she lost alot of her weight.  I imagine she would be around 5"3' or so maby.

thread_title: Age?

message: If we aren't allowed to have IMDB as a source to confirm Bridget's marriage to Chad Marquardt, then I suggest the link under "References" to Bridget's IMDB entry be removed.
Also, if we aren't allowed to use "self-published" sources, then why is Bridget's Official Website also linked under the "references" section?

replies: text: Uh, what? It's sourced to the book. And books, especially biographies, are reliable. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 02:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: It doesn't work that way. Per WP:RS, "Wikipedia articles should rely primarily on reliable, third-party, published sources," which are "credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy or authoritative in relation to the subject at hand." As one of Hefner's former girlfriends, St. James is trustworthy about the subject at hand. The book was published by a third party source, and it went through a reliable publication process. The book is reliable, and there's no two ways about it. If you still don't like it, though, we can take this elsewhere. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 13:55, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

text: Sigh. Thread opened at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard#Bridget Marquardt. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 14:21, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the discussion at RSN, it is acceptable to put in, "as long as it's written in the article that St. James made the claim, it's fine." As such, I've restored back to the version that has the claim. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 16:24, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: 2 sources

message: Wiki does not say biographical info from IMdb is unnacceptable. Here is there standard on "Unacceptable usage" The IMDb tends to be weak, or the least, more open for abuse or mis-attribution when discussing less objective matters such as anecdotes and trivia, as well as films which have not yet been released to the general public. Any trivia which was submitted to the film's IMDb entry should presumably have an origin in either secondary sources – interviews or press reports – or primary sources such as DVD extras and commentaries. These are better sources by WP:V's standards and should be used directly in the article if trivia is to be included.
Historically, the IMDb has a bad track record for information about unreleased films, with poor accuracy and timeliness of updates. Any information about unreleased films needs to be sourced from primary or secondary sources, as there is otherwise no way to verify even basic data. As per the film notability guidelines, articles about films should not be added until production is already underway, and even then, only if the film clearly meets existing notability guidelines. And again I am not being snippy just pointing out the facts. So unless as is states in the "Acceptable usage" part about IMdb, unless there is a website stating that she isn't married to Chad Marquardt the IMdb version is perfectly usable. Also on her own personal website she has banner adds for Ooga Booga Inc. oned by her husband(seperated} Chad Marquardt.Rogue Gremlin 03:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: IMDb, like Wikipedia, is a tertiary resource and should not be used as a reference, particularly when dealing with biographical content. It's one thing to link to it for its filmographies, but it's a completely different ballgame to cite it as a source. As mentioned above, primary and secondary sources should definitely be used; if we find out where IMDb received their information, we can determine its verifiability and reliability. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 03:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Also, I would recommend reading this, which indicates the inherent problems in using IMDb as an information source. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 03:16, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't even understand why this is an issue. Bridget has talked about her marriage to the press (the recent magazine interview, which is the source cited for the statement about her being married). Considering there already is such a good, first hand source cited, I don't see why any other source should be needed for her marital status. As for her name, as has been said before it's a completely known thing -- her name has been said on the show, and in the press and official bios tons of times. I thought Wiki policy was that things should only be deleted outright (rather than tagged as unreferenced) if it is controversial or offensive. I've never heard of Wiki requiring proof someone's name is what they say it is.81.1.89.107 03:52, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Lil More

message: After initially reverting an anon IP's removal of the text about her working at the Spearmint Rhino, I actually looked into this a bit more. The book in question, Bunny Tales, is available on Google Books, and I ran some searches against it. First, neither 'spearmint' nor 'rhino' are ever mentioned in the book. The word 'dancer' is in there twice, but neither result has anything to do with Marquardt. There aren't any other news articles, books or other reliable sources that mention her dancing there, either - and any that do are either mirrors or interpretations of this article. So based on that, I'm going to go against what I've said earlier on this talk page and undo my edit. If anyone feels that strongly about this and they want the text readded, then find the quote in the book and post here before readding it. Also remember that this article needs to uphold WP:BLP, so everything in it really should be accurate and verifiable. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
