Misuse

edit

Wikipedia is being misused by fans of Ms. LeBlanc, a former participant in a Canadian reality TV show, who for some reason seem determined to use this forum to describe the history of Ms. LeBlanc's participation in the show in an inaccurate, or at least incomplete, way. Contributions which have attempted to balance the bias in the article, seriously or facetiously, have been edited out. However, any neutral account of Ms. LeBlanc's candidacy for "Canadian Idol" must reference the significant notoriety Ms. LeBlanc achieved, fairly or not, due to the attempt by the "votefortheworst.com" website over a number of weeks to sabotage the competition by encouraging its adherents to vote for Ms. LeBlanc. The current formulation of the entry, which ignores this fact and smacks of blatant boosterism, may be flattering to Ms. LeBlanc, but it is most certainly in violation of Wikipedia's requirement that entries maintain a neutral point of view. -- 207.229.4.81

I do not agree with the above. If somebody wants to indicate on the Vote For The Worst entry that Ms. LeBlanc was their candidate of choice, then I think this is fair. But to include it in this entry is not relevant and truly mean spirited. LeBlanc's Wikipedia entry should document her own history, not the twisted and poisonous negativity of VFTW. "Boosterism"? Give me a break. What exactly does VFTW think it promulgates if it isn't boosterism? I have worked very hard to maintain a neutral page on this one. -- Dubsypup 00:48, 25 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

  • It may be "twisted and poisonous", but it is still true: her recommendation by VFTW is still criticism. --216.123.196.135

What's news here - and what should be reported - is that she was targeted by this site, as others have been. I have edited the article to put in the web site reference, and people can then go there for the opinions of the site.

I think there is an important point of principle here. Lots of people - including politicians, singers, and actors - can be targeted by satirical or partisan web sites. It is sufficient to note that someone has been targeted and to give the web site references, which readers can then follow if they are interested in the opinions expressed on the site.

The same point holds for fan sites - references are OK, but quotes are not.

Any quotes should be from established sources such as journalists or professional reviewers, with clear references or links to the sources. -- JD_Fan Aug. 3 2006

Casey who? I think I'll write up an article about my cat. It's a glorified talent show, people, and she didn't even win it! -- 153.2.246.32 05:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply
