Article rearrangement proposal.

Hi everyone. =] I've been thinking about the way this article is arranged recently and thought that it might need some improving. I didn't want to just go ahead and move everything around myself, so I thought it would be appropriate to show you my proposal and discuss it first. You can view my proposal at my sandbox, here. Below is a breakdown of what I have changed:

  • "Appearance" sub-section has been moved and retitled to "Public image".
  • "Founding" and "Lawsuit against Wind-up Records" subsections have been merged together.
  • "Solo career" and "Other projects" have been merged together and retitled to "2000—2012: Early solo projects"
  • "Aftermath and Indigo Grey soundtrack" has been retitled to "2013—present: Aftermath and other soundtracks" in light of Voice from the Stone soundtrack.
  • "Engagement and Marriage" subsection has been merged with main "Personal life" section.

The only part I'm a bit unsure of is the lengthy "2000—2012: Early solo projects" section, but besides that, I feel my proposal gives the article a better flow and is a bit more organised. Please share your opinions below whether you like it, dislike it or would change anything else. Thanks a lot! =] - Jonny (talk) 12:16, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

I don't immediately see any issues with your rewrite. I'd give it a little more time to see if there are any additional comments/objections, but it seems good to go.Huntster (t @ c) 11:18, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
Change "Evanescence (1995—present)" section to "(1995—present) Evanescence", to keep the same format. Or change the other two Career subsections to parallel that one (a format I'd prefer here). Everything else looks fine. Go for it. Lapadite (talk) 03:37, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Good catch. I've fixed it in the sandbox, and changed emdashes to endashes in the same section headers (emdashes separate thoughts, like parentheticals do). Huntster (t @ c) 03:47, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

  Done — Thank you both for your feedback and edits! The changes have been made. =] — Jonny (talk) 18:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

  • We would need sources to be able to say anything about her ancestry. That's why the article doesn't mention it currently. —C.Fred (talk) 01:01, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Vocal Range

This Website identifies Amy Lee as a "Lyric Mezzo soprano" we have a source now and we can include her vocal range in the infobox.—  talk 16:21 30 May 2016 (UTC)

"DivaDevotee is my little space on the World Wide Web to share with the world my thoughts and feelings on one of my favourite topics: music's Divas. My decision to go public with my ramblings was in the hope that I'd meet other like minded people who share my interest."[1] In other words, the site is not a reliable source. —C.Fred (talk) 14:49, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
There might not be a reliable source, but isn't [ttps://youtu.be/uVoqf4YLJcs this] enough proof? Amy Lee is clearly a Mezzo-soprano and I think we should definitely include that in the infobox. And if you think the rules of wikipidia prevents you, If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it. So for this one there is no need for sources in my opinion.—  talk 00:36 31 May 2016 (UTC)
If the fact or statement is challenged or is likely to be challenged, a citation is absolutely required. So yes, consider a reliable citation as required for this one. Ignore All Rules handles a lot of situations, but backing statements with citations is a vital component of a good Wikipedia article, secondary to literally nothing.

Pic

ttps://flic.kr/p/HRRfzr is this picture good to be uploaded? (You need to add the h in the "https" to work, it was blocked so this is the only way I could put it here):  talk 11:36, June 5 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zhyar Merlin (talkcontribs)

@Zhyar Merlin: No. A TinEye search revealed that the image was scraped from the web somewhere else. I've found it with a Getty watermark, so I don't see how we can get a sufficiently free license. —C.Fred (talk) 14:22, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Ben Moody as an associated act

Should we add Ben Moody as an associated act? I mean they have had many works together even before David Hodges.—‎Lost Whispers talk 17:15, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Quotation

@Huntster:

this is a direct, specific quote attributed to Lee, so yes, the quotation marks are necessary.

So how come it doesn't have quotation marks on the Evanescence article?—‎Lost Whispers talk 14:24, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Lost Whispers, I have no idea, but it should. I'll fix it in a bit. Huntster (t @ c) 14:29, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
as you can see in this edit I have added it as a quote, before you removed it (which is not a problem), but I was a bit surprised.—‎Lost Whispers talk 14:59, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
I did not remove it, I moved it to an appropriate section. This was far too narrow to go in the lead of the main Evanescence article. Huntster (t @ c) 15:14, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
aside from that, I meant the quotation marks.—‎Lost Whispers talk 20:41, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
I'm definitely confused. When I moved that material to the dated section, I retained the quotation marks, and they are still there today. Huntster (t @ c) 23:03, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Link

Well, I would update the external links with her IMDb profile: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1341624/ As all artists who have an IMDb profile has it on their external links. But then I see this message: "DO NOT ADD MORE LINKS TO THIS ARTICLE. WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A COLLECTION OF LINKS. If you think that your link might be useful, do not add it here, but put it on this article's discussion page first (...) Links that have not been verified WILL BE DELETED. See Wikipedia:External links and Wikipedia:Spam for detail

So what? IMDb profile is a verified link and it's everywhere here on Wikipedia, I don't see a reason for not putting Amy's then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Galo de Barcelos (talkcontribs) 01:28, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Per what source? —C.Fred (talk) 21:23, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

"Vocal range" sources

Hi, the YouTube sources cited for her vocal range are not good enough to support the assertions. They are of dubious copyright status and depict Lee warming up and singing various notes. There is no accurate instrument measuring the pitch of her notes. These are WP:PRIMARY sources, and so putting them together for a "vocal range" statement is WP:SYNTH and WP:OR.
