Dearest Team Nancy:
I know you are probably on your Thanksgiving holiday, and I hate to bother you
with this.
In an attempt to make the Nancy page on Wikipedia in the required form, I was
corresponding with a Wikipedia volunteer, Ansell, who has helped shape this
page. It seems we need REFERENCES in order to "verify" the information on the
article.
David is so busy with the CD and DVD production, and I will not bother him with
this paperwork. I have lost touched with Rusty Kransky who might have a lot of
materials. I just have to ask all of us to help out.
Does anyone have anything at all that was in print, for example, the MAMM
article?? I don't have the year, volume, and pages, so I can't quote it. Also,
any reviews in Playbill Online or something like that would suffice the
requirement.
I understand that all the reviews were rather old materials, except for those on
the LIVE album, but they carry more weight than the words of mouth we put on
there.
Please do help out in any way you can. You can go in and edit the article
without having to register. Or you can send details to me, I will do it. If
it's too technical for me, I will have to bother Robert to use his expertise to
rescue the page.
Right now, Wikipedia has "tagged" that page and asked for a cleanup.

Here is what Ansell has commented:
"Does she have a printed biography? The information from her manager needs to
be verified somehow. Are there newspaper articles relating to her career, or
reviews of her work by critics? I assume that there is a review community for
cabaret performers.
"What I am trying to say overall though is that the information must fit
inside the main policies, being verifiability, no original research, and neutral
point of view (essentially that the language and the article tone are from the
appropriate viewpoint for an encyclopedia article). I also have to make sure
that the things that wikipedia is not are not happening on this page. The main
thing I want to make sure is not happening in that respect is that Wikipedia is
not a memorial (which does not mean the page cannot be a full life story, just
that it should not be in the style of a newspaper obituary). Hope that helps,

"You may want to integrate the following quote after it is authenticated from
a primary source "There is no more beautiful musical instrument than the voice
of Nancy LaMott. Bob Harrington, New York Post" The link for this may also be
useful for backing up the statement about the recording of her last album.
"It looks like there are a few reviews out there which comment on her work.

And a similar request of help goes for the Christopher Marlowe article on
Wikipedia, too.
I don't have materials on David, so I haven't started a thing on it even though
he is already mentioned on Wikipedia.
Thank you, everyone. Enjoy your turkeys and pumpkin pies!
