Discussion

Can someone tell me how to cite a picture source so I can list the source of Nona's picture? Thanks!

Click on the image, then click "Edit this page", and add the info. Arvindn 19:34, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Graaaah, I've got the actor box up, but the picture is distorted and I don't know how to fix it! Help!

Racial breakdown

UGGGH, I just cannot make that breakdown flow correctly! I know that Janis Gaye had a white mother (Irish) and a 1/2 Cuban, 1/2 Greek father. At this point, I'm ready to chuck all references to her racial makeup out and just link to the respective Wiki sites. Any ideas? Rattlerbrat 03:27, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, but I read the Slim Gaillard article and it says he was Afro-Cuban so I don't know how to break it down. Just put her in the list of multi-racial Americans? Least that's what I'm gonna do. And another funny thing, I can see the Irish, Cuban and African ancestry in Janis (I thought she was half-Black anyway) but not the Greek, how do you know Slim was half-Greek too? LOL BrothaTimothy 02:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One, because Jan told me. Two, because it's common knowledge that Slim's father was Greek and abandoned him there when Slim was 12. And three, because Slim Gaillard's page says he was. Jennifer 20:54, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I gotcha, I just wanted to know. LOL I had no idea...honestly. It's good to know though. Interesting... by the way, I knew little about Slim Gaillard, LOL. BrothaTimothy 11:24, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plagarism, much?

In 1993, Nona was named one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People at age 18. She made her runway modeling debut in Paris for Versace in the summer of 1994. A short time later, Nona was signed to the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency. This was a short-lived stint, however, as the curvy Gaye battled bulimia for over three years. Eventually, Nona was forced to make a choice between her health and her modeling career. Nona summed her experience up quite nicely: “I couldn't keep my weight down, and I was like, whatever.” - taken DIRECTLY from http://nona-gaye.net/101facts.htm!

Agreed, and fixed. MagentaThompson 09:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
