Possible copyright problem

Hi, I've reverted this page back to an earlier version as it appears that material has been added from http://www.debbieallendanceacademy.com/id80.htm and may thus present a copyright problem. - Politepunk 14:54, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think you are wrong, I believe that their bio was lifted from Wikipedia. Their website is promoting a 2006 tap dance festival and the person who added the biography here did so in November of 2005. Dwain 16:23, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds credible, please feel free to revert back to a more recent version. - Politepunk 17:11, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non Notable? What?!

Did the person who suggests this article be deleted even read it? I can't believe that someone would suggest that Walker is non-notable. Maybe tap dancing ain't your thing, but to suggest that she is non-notable is ridiculous. As for sources, some of them are included within the article. Friuli (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:13, 20 January 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, the person is notable, but not because you say so--and there were no reliable sources in the article until I added them. Drmies (talk) 19:51, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What? Not because I say so? What the heck is that supposed to mean? I didn't say so because it's obvious that she is notable. I didn't have to state the obvious. But, I see that you did by saying, "Yes, the person is notable." Does this mean she is only notable because you said so? What a brilliant statement! I guess the Boston Herald isn't a reliable source then, huh? I'm glad you took the time to do something worth while by adding some sources, but we could have done without the attempt at wit. Friuli (talk) 21:56, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it wasn't an attempt at wit. I was merely stating the facts. I think your attempt at wit is the unspoken claim that "The Boston Herald has called her "America's First Lady of Tap" is enough reason to call this article referenced? No, you meant that quite seriously. And it is not obvious that she is notable, not obvious at all, not to me. Proof, my friend: read up on Wikipedia:Verifiability before your next rant. I have proven that she is notable because I have added references to reliable sources that state that she is notable. Happy editing! Drmies (talk) 22:17, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
