The bio has had the public domain line put in on http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0435942/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm

Thanks for that. However there are still some very serious concerns about the article. IMDB sources are not considered reliable - anyone can create an INDB profile. Similarly TouTube, Facebook and social media sites are not considered reliable. We currently have an article which effectively has no reliable references with the possible exception of The Malibu Times piece. This urgently needs more and better sources or it risks deletion. For what it is worth, copying the IMDB content won't improve the article one jot. Regards  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   18:36, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

No I suspect that maybe considered the most unreliable. Sorry.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   18:51, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Michaelbond you are her publicist. You have said so. You should NOT be editing Tracey Birdsall at all! You are very likely to get yourself blocked from editing. Please back off now.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:56, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
