[edit] Images

[edit] Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:47, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Early hits
The table of hits lists only later hits, though I recall "Heart of Glass", "Denis", "Call Me", "Rapture", "In the Flesh" were all significant hits in Australia prior to of during 1981. I'm sure the band had other hits here too. Wasn't "In the Flesh" a hit in Australia before charting anywhere in the world? Any experts keen to add this sort of thing to the article?

- OK My mistake. Those were Blondie hits and are described there. Asa01 19:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Double Switch
Though not extremely significant, Debbie Harry also was in the video game Double Switch
[edit] Stilletoes?
Is Stilletoes corectly spelled? Not knowing anything about the band, I'd guess it should be "Stilettoes". 85.226.122.205 00:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Timeline
"Launching just on the cusp of MTV," Wrong. Blondie were around several years before MTV. "Debbie Harry and Blondie put out some of the first rock music videos" Also wrong. Music videos have been around since the '60s (though were mostly simple live studio performances, at that point). (And i'm not even counting clips from movies--by which measure, the Beatles take that credit.)

[edit] Dreadful
Another poor article, like the Blondie article. Who is writing these and think it is appropriate to make up the majority of the article with a list of "points" consisting of one of two sentences? Help this article someone please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Paul75 (talk • contribs).
- I think it's more a matter of people randomly adding one factoid at a time, alas. I'll give it a copyedit later, maybe stick it on cleanup after that. There are boatloads of music articles like this, unfortunately. --Dhartung | Talk 01:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Playboy
No mention of her Playboy appearances??? July 22, 2006
She didn't pose nude for Playboy, she worked briefly as a Playboy bunny in a bar before becoming famous
[edit] Urban Myth?
I don't know how it could be applied to the article, but I can't be the only person who has heard the rumor that Debbie Harry is the illegitimate daughter of Marilyn Munroe. Obviously this exists as an urban legend but is there precident to include this under trivia? The article for Jamie Lee Curtis handles the rumor connected to her in a specific way which isn't possible here, and i'm stuck for any other comparisons. Any ideas?

- It's more of a personal legend.[1] --Dhartung | Talk 00:06, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Wow, that's one heck of a leap; it was reported to me as 'fact' (obviously dismissed out of hand) but what a fantastic example of an offhand remark spiralling. Brilliant stuff, I wonder if the "When I was a little girl, I imagined I was Marilyn's daughter because I knew my parents had adopted me." is worth including under a 'quotes' heading; it does seem a little lacking that someone as wonderfully outspoken as Harry hasn't got a quotes section yet...
