Talk:Andrea Seabrook

Seabrook needs to be interviewed-- (with a recognized reporter) about her upbringing / heritage

There are no sources on the Internet about where she was born, who her parents were, what her upbrining was like, what high school she went to etc...

Did she have any special interests growing up?

And what is the ethnic heritage of her parents?

The article says she grew up in Cheverly, Md, but that is going to have to be removed-- because she never told that to a journalist or put that in a (credible) bio (a friend must have put that in, but Wikipedia will eventually delete it because it lacks a solid reference).

Usually you can find such info when editing a Wikipedia biographical article about a journalist.

Consider-- there are young women who may look up to Seabrook as a role model, but they can never get any inspiration from her early life story, because it is not available anywhere that qualifies as a credible source.

You know unsourced additions to BLPs are not allowed, but you went ahead and added it anyway? The subject of the article may not share these details intentionally. Please don't add original research to the article. 73.6.77.46 (talk) 06:32, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Looking at it, not only did you add additional materials, you also added an alleged birth location a couple of hours before coming here and complaining that it would be removed because it's unsourced and her friend must have put it here.... If you are claiming to know them, you have a COI and should stay away from this article.

I had a very bad series of migraine headaches on that day and forgot I had added the Cheverly birthplace, hours earlier (sorry).

NOTE: Bad migraines ***can cause you to forget things***.

PLEASE SEE THIS ARTICE-- "Migraine, Brain Fog and Memory Loss: How They Affect You"

Again, I'm so sorry.

What I added was (if memory serves) (I think, maybe) from NPR online sources.

My migraine eventually became so severe on that day-- that I stopped editing-- and didn't add the sources.

I don't understand your suggestion that I know her-- I do not know her (or any of her friends or relatives) at all.

There is NO claim written here (by me) I that know/knew her, or them, either.

Removed negative, unsourced sentence

I have removed the following short section from the article:

She briefly hosted NPR's "Science Friday" program, but was pulled from that position due to numerous complaints from NPR listeners about her lack of understanding of science. This was evident in such blunders as an interview with an astronomer which she concluded with the comment "for all AstroLOGICAL things considered, this is Andrea Seabrook."

I'm not disputing the accuracy (I have no idea), but my curiosity was stirred and I followed the referenced source. It turns out that it is a comment on a blog post (yes, a comment, not even the blog entry itself). Here it is:

ANDREA SEABROOK IS AN IDIOT! Say it loud and clear! She was, she is, she will be. One of my favorite displays of her idiocy was when she concluded a story on astronomy with the comment "for all AstroLOGICAL things considered, this is Andrea Seabrook." Clearly she doesn't have a clue of the difference between astroNOMY and astroLOGY. [Anonymous]

Sorry, I don't think we can accept this as a credible, unbiased source... --178.201.100.215 (talk) 02:45, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
