Platinum Weird note (check your fiction)

[edit]

A mockumentary has been made to go with the Platinum Weird album, and editors should be careful about mixing fact with fiction. I will list some anachronisms here for a later PW article (waiting until they release an album) as a reality check.

  • (as of today) On the platinumweird.com main page, Erin Grace is shown holding a Polaroid Pronto OneStep camera in one of the "1974" pictures. That camera was produced beginning in 1977 for the 1978 season.
  • The "lost 1974 interview" on various PW Web sites is with an adult Adam Curry, but he was 10 years old in 1974.
  • One of the "lost 1974" tracks is with George Harrison, singing "This Guitar", but his voice is as it sounded in the 1990s. (this has since been pulled off the main PW page, too many people noticed this.)

More anachronisms will come, if and when I recall them.

This isn't some "shocking truth" that needs to be made prominent in related articles -- that's why I added it at the bottom -- but we shouldn't be misreprenting fiction as fact on Wikipedia.

I've extended the story, because people really need to think twice. This is an organized attempt at misinformation and I have no intention of allowing DioGuardi and Stewart deceive people on this scale. KittenKlub 16:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relatives

[edit]

Is it known whether Kara DioGuardi is related to former Congressman Joseph DioGuardi? 208.65.57.69 (talk) 16:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops ... the answer is yes.208.65.57.69 (talk) 16:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Warner Music Group Fluff Edits

[edit]

IP addresses registered to Warner Music Group (where DioGuardi is senior VP of A&R) have made repeated attempts to edit out mentions of The One: Making a Music Star. Let's keep an eye out for fluff edits in the future. -- Aeonian (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Website Spam

[edit]

For some reason her webmaster thought it was necessary to include the following text hidden on her website:

GWEN STEFANI. BRITNEY SPEARS. PUSSYCAT DOLLS. KYLIE MINOGUE. ASHLEE SIMPSON. CLAY AIKEN. LINDSAY LOHAN. JESSICA SIMPSON. SANTANA. ANASTACIA

So? Is this at all relevant to Wikipedia? -- Aeonian (talk) 19:20, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They hide things like that to coin in on search results... Some search engines forbidden this (looking on hidden results within page code)... Great find... Boredom Swells (talk) 04:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It was necessary for the google summary to read right. Its not spam, just an old method of tagging. Sytable (talk) 21:23, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Birthplace

[edit]

The text says Ossining, the Infobox says Scarsdale. What is correct? --slg (talk) 13:25, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I originally would have guessed Ossining as there is a reference provided for it in the article: nydailynews.com while the Kara DioGuardi imdb.com entry says Scarsdale abut imdb.com isn't the most reliable site in the world. However after some googling nypost.com, hvmag.com say Scarsdale and even nydailynews.com goes back on its original story of four months previous (first link). Also there are 130 ghits for "Kara DioGuardi Ossining" while there are 1090 for Scarsdale. So its probably Scarsdale but I don't know. AngelOfSadness talk 22:36, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the DioGaurdi site (the "Official family website", #7 in footnotes) it states that she was born in Scarsdale, NY. [2]. So somebody who knows how to do it, should change it in the main article.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.166.165.188 (talk) 22:23, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Quitting Idol

[edit]

There are VERY MANY rumors that Kara might not return on the next season of American Idol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 13taylor (talk • contribs) 22:20, 5 May 2009 (UTC) Rumors are just that.[reply]

Professional songwriting section.

[edit]

This section of the article seems to be the most jumbled, uncited, and vaguely informative. Among the scattered and many "citation needed" tags (which we should work on finding sources). I believe this entire section needs to be thoroughly redone in a more fashionable manner. Kara has written 200+ songs since the start of her career and this section seems to only be pointing out a few works of hers, and those are more recent ones. It seems as though people have just picked out their favorite songs/artists that she has written for and added them to the section in the manner I exampled below. I believe that the section should be written to be more informative about her whole professional songwriting career, which includes working with many many artists and other songwriters, writing 200+ songs. I also do not think the section should look like:

"In (year), Kara worked with (artist) and did this"
"In (year), Kara worked with (artist) and did this"
"In (year), Kara worked with (artist) and did this"

That same line is currently being repeated in this section many times with just different years, artists and works and that is not being informative about her songwriting career.

Do you agree this section should be redone? Rockin56 (talk) 02:12, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

========
[edit]

Also, what is this? "DioGuardi has a songwriting catalog of several hundred songs, of which over 279 have been released on major labels worldwide, and over 169 have appeared on multi-platinum selling albums." So is it 280 songs? 281? 756? Same with the "over 169 have appeared". Is it 170? 172? 5,280? I don't have the real numbers, but someone must. Please get rid of the "over" modifier. -DKM- (talk) 19:18, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Make ten edits, I believe, and you'll be authorized. Which you should have no problem with now. Gage (talk) 04:34, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

American Idol top Three????????

[edit]

Dear Kara, I hope this sugestion gets to you and the other judges. I would like to know if it could be aranged that the final three or four contestants can become a singing trio at the end of the season as something different or new to the show. They are all great artists and I just thought it might be a completely new aspect of American Idol. It might be a way to start a new series. I guess it seems to me that it is a waste of such fantastic talent to let the balance of them dissapear from the greater public. I hope this can inspire someone to expand on my idea. Love American Idol , Fred Galietta sr. Hampstead N.H. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.62.77.130 (talk) 03:14, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fired?

[edit]

I removed the rumors of Kara DioGuardi being fired based on either on the unreliable source TMZ or other sources saying TMZ is reporting it, which does not make those articles reliable sources. There have been no confirmations of this from American Idol, Fox or DioGuardi.

There are also reports that there will be an official announcement from American Idol/Fox on Monday. If these reports are true, then we should wait until this announcement or wait until there are confirmations from any of the players involved. Aspects (talk) 23:04, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
