Doubtfulness

Hello guys. To begin the discussion here, I am not really sure, but i think she has a EP called Unfold. Is that true? Darrencomp 16:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, sorry. Its called Start Here EP. Did some research on it. Darrencomp (talk) 01:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Astroturfing controversy

There's a name for the practice described in the Controversy section of feigning a grassroots campaign—it's called astroturfing. An anonymous editor removed some text I added to the article about this, I just added it back. I don't think this is a POV, it's an accepted name for the activity. —johndburger 02:45, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've never heard of astroturfing, I don't think that the average reader would know what that means.Born That Way (talk) 05:47, 8 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe it's a fairly well known term. There's been a WP article about it since 2003, and the NY Times has been using it since 2002.[1] -- But|seriously|folks 00:26, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Astroturfing is known well enough, particularly in the U.S. where in spring run-ups to the 2010 midterm elections then Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi famously decried the entire Tea Party movement to be conservative astroturfing. Any term easily substantiated through most common search engines should not be edited out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cliff Clavin from Cheers (talk • contribs) 15:28, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reasons to delete controversey section

1) Grassroots: Are you kidding me? Youtube is hardly grass roots anything. Its about the most mainstream popular thing there is today, everybody and there dog and Hillary clinton use it for promotion.

2) Why wouldn't youtube be considered a legitimate form of promotion, even if your a class A celeb?

3) I don't think any of her videos attempt to conceal her status as a "serious" musician, she has numerous songs/videos done in a professional way that is a cut above the typical "youtube idiot singing into their camera". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.51.143.60 (talk) 08:49, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These points have only to do with whether there should have been any controversy in the first place. You're entitled to your opinion, but the fact is that there was controversy—and in the Wall Street Journal, no less. If some of the biggest coverage about Digby has to do with accusations of astroturfing, then it belongs in the article. —johndburger 03:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic

Much of this article is written in a "adoring fan" style, quite inappropriate for an encyclopedia. The "How to contact Marie" section is especially off-key, as are all the entreaties to listen to her on MySpace. It's not even in the right section sequence in the article. Please leave this deleted. —johndburger 02:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the article should in my opinion be reverted to the revision dated 12:15, 18 January 2008, to undo all the edits by 24.87.61.227, since none of those edits seemed to add anything of value. --Chekkie 23:28, 22 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chekkie (talk • contribs)

Agreed and done. Aside from the MySpace speak, just too many ungrammaticalities and downright errors. —johndburger 02:12, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Much of this article is written in a "adoring fan" style" - very appropriate for the current state of the article. I've added the 'unencyclopaedic' tag.

Wow

A whole entry for someone who gets noticed for posting a cover on Youtube? The stuff she writes herself is totally average, even AngryAsianMan thinks so. Youtube should just have it's own Wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.170.68.234 (talk) 08:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marié actually has two full-length albums out and an EP. Her cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella" is not the only thing attached to her name. Born That Way (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:50, 8 September 2010 (UTC).[reply]

THIS IS a Public page.

DO NOT come in here and change or RE-WORD the information to your own satisfaction. Everyone may contribute to this page but should NOT delete something and re-word it just because YOU did not contribute it first. Everything here is factual and is very much apart of Marié's career and should be stated here. The leak of the album is very much a sign of the times and the evidence of Marié's popularity and should be documented here. All of the information about the album leak and release date is factual and available from all of here information websites and news. PLEASE, once again, do NOT delete or revert to a state which YOU put this page in when others are adding information as well. If you want a page dedicated to YOUR information on Marié, then you can create your OWN web page on her.

You are a new editor, and are clearly unfamiliar with what Wikipedia is and the way it works. You may therefore find this page useful, along with the links I placed on your talk page. Please do not yell at other editors who are trying to help you. Best, faithless (^speak) 00:04, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More Music

In 2012, she recorded two songs with Hiroshi Sato (who doesn't have an English Wikipedia article, but is mentioned in the Wendy Matthews article). One was in English and was titled "Sweet Lullaby". The other was in Japanese and was titled "Angel". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.18.224.13 (talk) 02:54, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
