User talk:JurgenBM

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Dido (singer), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 15:19, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Yamla. Read-write-services changed content without citing a reliable source, I reverted that edit and added a reliable source, i.e. the person talked about in the article herself, verifying that the original was true. Therefore, read-write-services deserves the comment you gave on my talk page, not yours truly. --JurgenBM (talk) 14:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dido on youtube

Jurgen, Please do not blind revert Dido(Singer) again without using reliable and verifiable sources. Her name is a nickname given to her by her grandmother. Just because she states on the somewhat contentious "Sharon Osbourne show", trying to explain to an even more questionable audience-does NOT give the statement creedence-she was trying to explain the situation in a simplistic manner-her Stage and Nickname are Dido-named after a mythical queen-NOT her real Birth name-the word "Dido" does not appear on her birth certificate ( a verifiable and legal link is supplied in the article for your reference) Cheers--Read-write-services (talk) 22:08, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read-write-services, the onus is on you to prove that 'Dido' is not Dido's first name. I cannot find the link to her birth certificate you are talking about.--JurgenBM (talk) 14:56, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NO the onus is NOT on me to provide YOU with the correct and verifiable source, The link has been removed from the MANY revisions to the dido(singer) article however just for you here is a link to an article (and an interview that I HAVE heard her discussing her REAL name (on her birth certificate) and her dislike for it. Here I found it...[1]--Read-write-services (talk) 22:31, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is just one source claiming to have seen Dido's birth certificate. It's not entirely convincing to me. The name on her birth certificate could very well be "Florian Cloud De Bounevialle Armstrong" though. In that case this name on top of Dido's page would probably be appropriate (depending on whether all wikipedia articles about a person start with the name that's on that person's birth certificate). Still, and your source supports that, in any case "Dido" is not just Dido's stage name. It's what's she's always been called by everyone. --JurgenBM (talk) 10:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
