- Are you serious? She's definitely not unknown, and is internationally one of the best known female bloggers. Check out the links on the page, and realise that she doesn't qualify for deletion on any instance. Hauser 09:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Xiaxue urges her readers to update her page
Xiaxue urged her readers earlier to update her page[1], and resented the fact that Wikipedia editors "can't be bothered to upload a chio photo of me despite me splattering them all over the place."
To all of her readers that may follow her link here and happen to see this, I draw your attention to WP:FU, which states that "any non-free media used on Wikipedia must meet all of these criteria: 1. No free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information ... if the subject of the photograph still exists, a freely-licensed photograph could be taken." Thus, grabbing one of her "chio photo[s]" that she did not license under an acceptable free license or release into the public domain is prohibited. Please do not do what Xiaxue seems to want us to do, that is, grab a photograph off her blog and upload it onto Wikipedia. Instead, wait for someone else to take a photograph of her and license it under an acceptable free license or release it into the public domain, do this yourself, or wait for her to license her photograph(s) accordingly.
I'm saying this because her blog supposedly attracts up to 20 000 readers per day, many of whom would probably not be familiar with Wikipedia policies and are immediately marshalled to upload a photograph of her. —Goh wz 02:38, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Alternatively, someone could ask her to provide a photograph that she agrees, in writing (e-mail or whatever), to release under the GFDL. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 05:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the picture because it has so much crap on it and does not fit the tone of an encyclopedia. Please have a non-animated picture. Secondly, we need something a bit more explicit as to permission given; i.e. it has to be GFDL-compliant. Whoever uploads the image should include the text of the e-mail in the copyright tag. Best case, get her to write something on her blog confirming it so we can verify that she has indeed given permission. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:00, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
Screenshot of website added. This should resolve under WP:FU Cocoma 11:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
i think there is a need to talk about Vandalism since it is so rampant. it is to be expected since she has offended quite a lot of people. please discuss.
