"Philanthropy"

[edit]

The list of charities she supports is SO impressive -- and SO unsourced. This is just pure advertisement and namedropping. It is also totally meaningless, as there is no way to know if she just gave a dollar or a significant percentage of her income. Not that I want to know. But neither do I want to read this kind of unsourced stuff in an encyclopedia. --217.239.0.16 (talk) 12:18, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if the press covered that she gave a dollar to each, that would be quite worthy of inclusion. However, I agree, an unsourced list of charities has no place in the article. Removed. Trimmed the mention and added a CN flag.17:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Under the philanthropy section, this sentence, "In December 2010, she performed "The Rose", joined by The Gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles in remembrance of the many gay teenagers who committed suicide in 2010" should be altered to replace "committed suicide" with "died by suicide". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:1B20:8EC0:1822:1882:4575:B769 (talk) 17:48, 22 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The Masked Singer

[edit]

In the "2009-present: Television film transition" section, it is claimed that she appeared alongside Darius Rucker as a guest panelist. In fact, she was the sole guest panelist, Darius Rucker having appeared in the episode prior to her appearance. Icoll52 (talk) 21:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

GA?

[edit]

So, I've been thinking about revamping and taking the article to at least a good article at some point, using The Mavericks, Lynn Anderson and Hank Williams (all of which are currently GAs) as points of references. I have some concerns about the article, however, with one of them being that the lead section might not need any references, since most of the facts about LeAnn are cited elsewhere. Also, we can use newspaper articles and Joel Whitburn's Hot Country Songs 1944 to 2017 book as additional references for her life, genres, singles and so on. Thoughts?

Lead image

[edit]

I'm opening a discussion as I can already see this potentially being an issue - and I don't want to start an edit war. Per MOS:IMAGES, "a biography should lead with a portrait photograph of the subject alone". It has been changed from File:LeAnn Rimes 2014 Big Apple Awards Gala (1) (cropped) (cropped).png to File:LeAnn_Rimes_at_Mentor_Rocks_(1)_(cropped)_(cropped).jpg. I originally uploaded both images, which have since been cropped. While the Mentor Rocks image is newer, it is not a portrait image and certainly not a better lead image than the Big Apple Awards Gala image. She's not looking at the camera, her eyes are not visible, and it's not a portrait. I have looked through the photographer's other images and unfortunately none are more suitable than the Gala image as they all have a variety of the same issues. Seeing as the Mentor Rocks image is clearly against the Manual of Style when a suitable image is available, does anyone have any rationale to the contrary?

Keep to the current "Awards" image, more representative of her normal appearance and she is not making performance faces with her eyes closed and her mouth fully open as in the "Rocks" image. It would be nice to get a better image than the "Awards" one though, looks a bit unnatural too, but not as bad as the other one. Geraldo Perez (talk) 00:54, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
