Talk:Lynn Anderson

message: Please source this information in the article.  Lynn Anderson did come in as the #9 female vocalist of alltime in a 1996 Billboard reference book by Joel Whitburn but that was 11 years ago and it is highly possible that she has since been bumped from the top ten by several artists who has since emerged on the scene or have had major post-1995 success.
Also while I have read that Anderson has 17 gold records or so, I believe these are all from the recording of "Rose Garden" in various countries rather than different records. In America she has had a gold single (Rose Garden), platinum album (Rose Garden), and gold album (Greatest Hits) but I believe no other additional gold recordings, so this should be clarified in the article.  
Greatest Hits Vol. 1 was indeed also certified Gold by the RIAA.

thread_title: Top 10 Country Women and Gold Records, "Lynn Anderson Show"

message: Lynn Anderson was not the first female Country singer to headline her own show in Las Vegas. That goes to Patsy Cline in November 1962, when she became the first female Country Music singer to headline her own show in Las Vegas.
Nor was Lynn the first country singer to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Roy Clark and Jimmy Dean had both appeared on and even filled in for Carson as host.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.181.77.138 (talk) 16:42, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

message: I've just removed the unsourced text in accordance with WP:BLP:
*In the 1990s, Anderson was arrested for slapping her child in public. She was released on bond.
*On May 3, 2006, Anderson was arrested with a DUI charge after she got into a traffic accident in New Mexico, due to drunk driving. However, she was later released on a bond by the police. Her previous cases were later dropped by the Taos, New Mexico court, as long as she did not commit any other offenses. Anderson spent two months in the Betty Ford Clinic for alcohol rehabilitation.
Does anyone know of any sources for these? Like I said, I've removed the text, but if someone can find reliable sources, it can be put back in. Acalamari 22:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced material. 

message: I added a tag because there are parts of this article that read like a fan site.  A few examples: "'Rose Garden' was as big of a hit as anyone could have possibly had at the time, and she had it"; "one of its brightest stars was Lynn Anderson"; "Anderson has racked up an astonishing eight number one records". I also added the tag to the trivia section (see WP:TRIVIA); much of that section could be integrated into the article elsewhere. --Paul Erik 02:40, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

message: My question is what happened to Lynn Anderson's official website. Last time I looked at lynn-anderson.com it said that her website was coming soon. I remember there being one before that. Whatever happened to it? Can anyone tell me? Dottiewest1fan 15:29, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Official Website 

message: This is a segment from the article: "In 1992, she recorded a new studio album titled Cowboy's Sweetheart, released by Laselight Records. Emmylou Harris and Marty Stuart reluctantly appeared as guest performers on the album."  How does the person submitting this know Harris' and Stuart's attitudes?  I did not find confirmation in the source link.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oakbranch8 (talk • contribs) 17:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone. Per the tag associated with this page, I will be cleaning it up to meet up to current standards and guidelines. Please reach out if you have a suggestion or find anything that is not factually accurate. Thanks! ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 01:52, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I did not flag this article. Somebody else did, hence the cleanup I am doing. I would appreciate a more professional tone in regards to the communication going on here. I am very concerned about your constant policing of this page and threatening tone towards me. It is clear you will not stop making me feel uncomfortable so unfortunately I am bringing this to the attention of administration. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:03, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Once again, I am not finished. Give me a chance to finish this work. Also, I cannot simply list every single solitary fact as it would overwhlem the page. Also this page is about the artist, not the song. If a reader wants to know more about "Rose Garden", they can simply go to her album page. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

text: There are not any recent reviews of her 1970s albums. It is important to cite the original reviews as readers will have an understanding of what the industry thought of her at the time. Again, this is about fact not about fluffing it up. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:02, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

text: I am happy to do it that way. As for your image concern, images have to be creative commons. Those are the best images that I could find that fit the licensing agreement. That's about as good as it is going to get right now. Photos of that era have to be licensed properly. They cannot simply be saved and uploaded freely. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 03:00, 16 June 2020 (UTC)

text: I am aware, thanks. Give me a chance to finish the article this week. I have been traveling over the weekend. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:13, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Thanks! I will read this. I plan to add a "legacy" section so this reference will be helpful for that. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 23:13, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

text: Thank you! Definitely quality over quantity for this section. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 12:56, 26 June 2020 (UTC)

text: I have to check Wikipedia's guidelines for filmographies, but I am almost certain that only notable works should be listed, not every single appearance. I'll take a look and see. ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

text: Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to make edits. However, I nominated the page to be a "good article." When this nomination occurs, editors come in and modify the wording. Within a month's time this should be occurring, so you will not have to worry. However, if you have a couple of easy-to-make suggestions, I can do those for now. To your other point, you are correct that publicity photo is from her time at Chart Records in the 60's. However, the photo itself was taken from a magazine article in Billboard from 1971. Therefore, the published date for that particular source is 1971. Going against that would be a copyright violation and we cannot have that. Instead, I can re-write the caption and say "A photo of Anderson in Billboard magazine, 1971." ChrisTofu11961 (talk) 02:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

text: I made the changes you requested. I agree some wording was confusing so I tried to fix that. We need to be careful that there are no fluff words in the intro. Someone had written, "She is most remembered for her classic #1 hit "Rose Garden." The word "classic" should be not be used so subjectivetly as it was in the paragraph. I removed that, but let me know if you see anymore fluff words. I am not sure who may have added that but sometimes we have to be careful because people attempt to vandalize articles.
