The most recent revision removed any discussion of the controversy surrounding Ms. Shamblin and removed articles from reputable sources detailing the controversy. In fact, the current article is not from a neutral POV at all. I would prefer to see this article reverted to a more neutral POV. Anne 13:34, 17 January 2006 (UTC)Anne
- I agree. Given that this anon has made similar edits on two other occasions (see history)), and no other edits to WP, as well as no explanation or edit summary, I think it's safe to assume that they have an agenda to push, and it's not NPOV. :) I reverted the edit. If they or anyone else would like to question this, please do so here before making similar edits. pfctdayelise 16:03, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
- I fully agree with User:Pfctdayelise the current version is much more neutral and better cited than the one before the revert. DES (talk) 16:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sources
while some additional sources are needed, it looks to me as if most of the factual statemes, including the more controversial ones (the child abuse issues) have been reasnably well sourced. i think the BLP tag cvould be removed. DES (talk) 20:15, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gwen's birthdate
I've bunnyhunted every source I could on this page, but nowhere can I found mention of Shamblin's birthdate. In grand Southern tradition, she seems to be hiding how old she is. If anyone's looking to put their mark on this article, they could easily do so by being the first person to find a confirmed source for her birthday and birth year! Efkeathley 30 March 2007
- Generally there is no vital need to include the precise birthdate of a living person, and in the age of identity theft, since a birthdate is often considered a significant piece of identifying information many people have good reason not to publish their birthdates. See WP:BLP. The year of birth is sufficient to put the person in historical context, unless for some reason the precise date is particularly significant for a particular person.

- Sorry about that, I thought the tag at the bottom stating "Year of birth missing" meant that a birth date was needed; I understand about the ID theft thing though and have stopped searching for this. Efkeathley 04 April 2007
