Reorganization proposal

Since we have articles for both albums and the discography now, perhaps a reorganization to make room for new accomplishments?

Instead of posting the entire thing here, you should have done it in a user-space subpage, or as a draft. Alex|The|Whovian 05:04, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
I did that with the discography posted above, it sat for a couple year and somebody else did the discography from scratch. I just got around to moving the infobox over today.
The talk page is generally where changes are discussed, I think this will be the easiest place to remember where the discussion is occurring. We can always archive this page when we are done. --Cheers-- 009o9 (talk) 05:19, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Yes, discuss it here, but create the proposed article in a sandbox or userspace subpage. Such a large content dump is not required here , you can easily link elsewhere while keeping the discussion itself here. I recommend that you take this course of action immediately. Alex|The|Whovian 05:38, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
How's this Mr. immediately? 009o9 (talk) 06:01, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Sure, that works. Alex|The|Whovian 06:10, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
Okay, at least we have a semi-static area to discuss what needs to be moved to where, there is a lot here and I'm not the most well versed on Stirling's career. I don't want to start anything without buy-in from the interested parties. --Cheers-- 009o9 (talk) 06:25, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Maybe the interested parties could do a section in their own sandboxes and use strike though in this copy to show what content they have reused. The career section is empty, but really should be composed, I think a ton of this stuff could be condensed there. If we get all of the sections defined, when people drop off factoids, the article will stay organized. 009o9 (talk) 05:34, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Proposed sections to rework

Career

Dancing

From a young age, Stirling had a fascination for dance, and wanted to take both dancing and violin lessons. In an interview with NewMediaRockstars, she said, "...ever since I was a kid, I've always wished that I could dance, but my parents said, 'You [can] choose violin or you [can] choose dance, but we can't afford both', and I chose violin. So this is kind of a fulfillment – it's funny to say, but this is something I've always wanted to do."[1]

She impressed the judges on America's Got Talent, not only by mixing hip-hop and classical music on the violin, but by incorporating dancing with playing the violin, which she also does on her tours and official music videos. On a live-chat Stirling explained: "It is very unnatural to dance while playing the violin. I had to practice so hard to learn how to do it but now it is part of my expression and it comes naturally. I have to know a song perfectly before I can even begin to move. Once I know a song really well I can then have fun dancing." Not only in her performances, but also with her music, dancing made a huge impact: "I loved dance music so I started with that and wrote Transcendence, Electric Daisy and Spontaneous Me."[2]

In October 2013, Stirling announced she would take part in season three of Dance Showdown, a dance competition web series created by DanceOn where the winner is awarded US$50,000.[3] Stirling was the second of three finalists, but didn't win the fifty thousand dollars despite receiving critical acclaim on her three performances with her partner Anze Skrube. One of the three judges, Laurieann Gibson, classified her second performance as "one of the best" in Dance Showdown and the last one as the best she had ever seen.

2010–12: America's Got Talent and debut studio album

In 2010, at the age of 23, Stirling was a quarter-finalist on season five of America's Got Talent, where she was described as a "hip hop violinist".[4][5] Stirling's performances were dubbed "electrifying" by the judges, and won the acclaim of the audience, but after she attempted to step up the dance level in her quarter-final performance, judge Piers Morgan told her: "You're not untalented, but you're not good enough to get away with flying through the air and trying to play the violin at the same time."[6] Sharon Osbourne commented: "You need to be in a group. ... What you're doing is not enough to fill a theater in Vegas."[7][8] In her blog, Stirling confided: "I was devastated at the results ... It was painful, and a bit humiliating; however, I had to relearn where it was that I drew my strength."[9][10] Stirling decided to continue to embrace her unique style of performance, promoting herself on the Internet. In a 2012 interview she remarked: "A lot of people have told me along the way that my style and the music I do ... is unmarketable. But the only reason I'm successful is because I have stayed true to myself."[11]

Move to videos section in discography?Shortly after her performance on America's Got Talent, cinematographer Devin Graham contacted her in hopes of making a YouTube video together. They agreed to shoot a music video for her song, "Spontaneous Me". It was filmed the week of May 9, 2011. The video boosted Stirling's popularity, and she began making music videos for her YouTube channel regularly. Graham has filmed almost all of her videos, while Stirling often does backup camera work and assists with his music videos. Stirling's YouTube channel, Lindseystomp, which she created in 2007 and which is named after her first band Stomp on Melvin, is the main repository for her music videos. During 2011, the channel rapidly gained popularity and has over 1 billion total views and over six million subscribers, as of June 2015.[12] Her music is featured on Pandora, Spotify, and Last.FM.[13] Stirling also created a second YouTube channel, LindseyTime, in September 2012, in which she posts videos related to her life, vlogs, behind-the-scenes content, etc.

On April 22, 2013, it was announced that Lady Gaga's manager (Troy Carter) inked a deal with Stirling after being impressed by her rise in the media. "By looking at the numbers, automatically you could see this girl knew how to move the needle and understood YouTube was a venue to engage fans both online and offline," Carter said. Stirling, who had previously refused to work with other management companies explained her new deal with Carter: "But with Atom Factory, they were up to date on current things and trying new stuff all the time, and I felt so creatively alive when I met with them."[18]

College Graduation -- Propose Education section

Until some of the sections get condensed, I think we might continue to get people coming by to drop off the graduation news in various locations. For instance, I moved one of the mentions to Early life because she started the degree young and 28 is still pretty young to me.

Should we do an Education section so that people can readily find the news? --Cheers--009o9 (talk) 04:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

The article is fine. -- AstroU (talk) 15:35, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

New NEWS today, for future editing

When someone sees dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling’s book cover for the first time, one of his or her first questions is likely, ... 

Headline-1: Dancing violinist Lindsey Stirling discusses her new book, LDS faith and taking a different route to stardom

QUOTE: "As Stirling finished second grade, her struggle with reading led to her being diagnosed with cross dominance, a condition that causes “mental health, language and scholastic problems.” The recommended treatment included wearing an eye patch. The eye patch bothered Stirling until one day when she began to embrace it by imagining she was a pirate. She writes that she developed a fascination with pirates, particularly their attitudes toward life." -- AstroU (talk) 16:15, 17 January 2016 (UTC) -- PS: FYI for future editing.

Lindsey Stirling 2012/2013 Tour

For those interesting in Lindsey Stirling, there is an ongoing draft for her 2012/2013 Tour: Draft:Lindsey Stirling 2012/2013 Tour. Much of the information is from copy-pasting the 2014/2015 Tour article, and needs to be replaced. Alex|The|Whovian? 01:00, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Only the Background and Reception sections need filling in/expanding - if anyone has any content related to these sections, it could then be moved to the article namespace. Thanks. Alex|The|Whovian? 12:17, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

Appearance on Good Mythical Morning

The Good Mythical Morning show doesn't have a stand-alone article on Wikipedia, so I presume it's not notable. The burden is on anyone else to prove that the show is notable. Also, I have a big problem with using the YouTube video as the source. That's a primary source because it's the YouTube channel of the show. As far as I'm concerned, it's nothing more than a blatant attempt to further boost viewership of not only that video but also to promote the show using Lindsey's article, hoping to increase the number of subscribers. How can you justify having a primary source for this information? Furthermore, keeping in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and having watched the entire video, I fail to see the educational value of this information. Did you watch the video? You need to watch more than seven minutes of it in order to confirm that the claim is true. I don't see the point in mentioning her appearance on that show. Dontreader (talk) 02:39, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

As expected, I cannot find an independent reliable source that talks about Lindsey's appearance on the show. Clearly it's a non-notable event, unless my search missed an independent reliable source. So we've got two guys with a very successful YouTube show, and Lindsey was invited on the show to judge them dancing in an imbecilic comedic manner. Who cares? Is this worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia? Dontreader (talk) 03:00, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Dota 2 TI6 Appearance

I don't have all the facts, but Lindsey Stirling was part of the opening ceremony for Dota 2's The International 6, which is incredibly widely known. It should probably be mentioned somewhere. Here is a link to the performance.173.78.82.117 (talk) 18:52, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Singer?

I'm curious why the page says that Lindsey is a singer? As far as I can remember, she used her voice mostly in medleys/covers like Thrift Shop, Assassin's Creed and Lord of the Rings, Silent Night and one original song Stars Align where she only did some background stuff or said just a few words. Is that enough to consider someone a singer or am I missing something? Regards, mrDoctorWho 08:16, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

mrDoctorWho, I agree with you. I don't think Lindsey is notable as a singer, although I haven't been following her career for almost a year now. The claim in the lead section that she is a singer is not supported by the provided source [1]. Instead, it reads, "Lindsey Striling is a solo violinist, composer and dancer." Without a reliable source stating that she is a singer I believe that claim should be removed. The infobox has the same problem because we see violin and vocals in the Instruments field, but that seems to be a mistake according to Template:Infobox_musical_artist#instrument, which reads, "Instruments listed in the infobox should be limited to only those that the artist is primarily known for using. The instruments infobox parameter is not intended as a WP:COATRACK for every instrument the subject has ever used." So I really think you have a strong point unless a reliable source is found that claims she is a singer. Dontreader (talk) 15:06, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Don't please get me wrong — I don't want unchecked info in Wikipedia — but I think we first need to see what the new album brings. When Lindsey was answering fans' questions, back in 2015, I remember she told that she's actually planning to start singing. mrDoctorWho 15:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

So, the new album Brave Enough has been released yesterday. And as far as I can judge, Lindsey is still not a singer. I want to remove this title from the page. Any objections? — mrDoctorWho 13:36, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, Lindsey is actually a singer. She has a single named Firefly where she actually sings. However, I could not find anything about it, it not seems to be available to purchase or download. This video is all I could find as a proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhdCT6ZtD50. Could anyone else find something or this video is enough to put the singer title back to page? —mrDoctorWho 13:11, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

That needs a third party source, I'm afraid. Karst (talk) 13:52, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Social media accounts that are verified (i.e. in YouTube's case, have a grey tick next to their name) are able to be used as reliable sources. The second YouTube link meets this requirement. Alex|The|Whovian? 14:05, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
Great, but it does not say whether Lindsey sings the song or just plays the violin as usual. — mrDoctorWho 14:18, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

She's not on this list because she's not born before 1980. Why do you have to be born before 1980 to be in that list? I'd say if someone is notable enough add her to the list. NicoLaan (talk) 10:08, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

It's not necessary for a related page to have anything specifically about Lindsey Stirling. They already have a common topic: female violinists, so I wouldn't remove it. Although, I personally consider this a shame that the mentioned list has such rules about birth year. — mrDoctorWho 10:48, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
@NicoLaan and MrDoctorWho: as best I can tell the primary author for that page was working chronologically and simply stopped at 1980. I'm sure it would be fine to add Stirling and remove the note about "1980". –xenotalk 22:23, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Eating disorder

Hi, Lindsey Stirling recently did an interview where she talks about her struggles with eating disorder (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grxbFqp14bo), I think this would be good to add to the page. Just putting this here as a note. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.85.8 (talk) 12:20, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Singer

Years ago, after "Brave Enough", there was "a debate about whether to include that Lindsey Stirling is a singer". At that point, it nearly left in because of the Firefly video on the YouTube verified account Barbie[1], but was left out because although the voice was identifiable as her, the video description itself did not clarify whether Lindsey was only playing the violin, or also singing. A lot has changed since then. It's no longer occasional singing during live performances, and small vocal segments on released songs. In the past 2 years, Lindsey always sings at concerts now. Lindsey has confirmed that although she wants to primarily be known as a violinist, she has been taking vocal lessons; although her original intent for lessons was to improve singing at concerts, she really liked how she progressed and released "Warmer in the Winter" and "Santa Baby" with her singing rather than getting someone else.[2] Lindsey confirmed she sang Firefly, as it was released on the Pledge Music pre-order of Brave Enough.[3] On "Warmer in the Winter", she sang "Warmer in the Winter".[4][5] On the 2018 deluxe edition of "Warmer in the Winter", she sang "I Wonder As I Wander"[6] and "Santa Baby"[7]. Both of these videos she just released even feature her singing, rather than just having it in the background. Numerous articles regarding her current Christmas tour now reference her as a singer.[8][9]. Glitter Magazine did as well.[10] Heavy is including calling Lindsey a singer[11], including Bloomingdale's calling her a singer in their advertising that Lindsey would be at their reveal of their holiday windows[12].

Cross dominance/oculular dominance

Is there a reason that 'cross-dominance' links to 'ocular dominance' rather than the article for cross-dominance? It seems counter-intuitive to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dstar3k (talk • contribs) 01:45, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Should we add a bibliography section? She wrote her autobiography (The Only Pirate at the party) and was at least involved in the Artemis comics and maybe other books.
