WTMX and NBC[edit]

Fightingirishlass wishes to add the following:

The radio talk show hosts Eric and Kathy of WTMX The Mix 101.9 talked about this book before Victoria Beckham was seen with it and when NBC came out with the Beckham promotion of the book and forgot to mention WTMX, the radio hosts called the president of NBC and he admitted it was neglectful of them not to mention the radio show's promotion of the book. I heard the entire conversation.

Unfortunately, what someone may or may not have heard is not considered a reliable source by Wikipedia standards... in fact it amounts to what we call Original research, and is against our policy. We need to have it reported by a reliable third party. Please note that I am not questioning whether this information is true, nor am I saying it is false. For all I know it is one hundred percent true. It's truth is besides the point. WP:Verifiability requires us to back what we say by citing reliable sources. If you want to add the material about WTMX and NBC, you need to cite some reliable source that talks about it. Blueboar 19:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:SkinnyBitch cover.jpg[edit]

Image:SkinnyBitch cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

so what does the book actually say?[edit]

The article has plenty about its publication and sales history, but almost nothing actually about the book. --Delirium (talk) 01:04, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added what I could from reading reviews, but the library has a long wait, so it'll be a while before I can add more info.--Hraefen ^Talk 03:37, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The commentary on this page is slanted very heavily towards the pro-carnivore side. There has been much research done as of late to indicate that the more vegan one's diet, the healthier they will be. So why is there a random reference to some athlete that has nothing to do with this book? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.130.188.26 (talk) 13:31, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph contains some serious allegations but references no citations. It seems intentionally misleading. 98.245.87.105 (talk) 05:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Authors[edit]

There should be more information on the authors, particularly Rory Freedman. We should also have a picture of her since she is quite attractive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.181.208.154 (talk) 05:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More importantly, why doesn't Rory have her own entry? She's an author of a series of best-selling books. PicturesofDoodie (talk) 00:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine[edit]

The article says After finishing the manuscript, the authors had Amy Joy Lanou, senior nutrition scientist for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, vet their work. However, the article on Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says that The PCRM has been criticized by the website, Activistcash, because "Less than 5% of their members are physicians", which can lead to misinformation about food. Is this an issue relating to WP:UNDUE or WP:RS? Autarch (talk) 13:31, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Have removed the mention of this organisation because it has a similar agenda to the authors and the above mentioned questioning of its' reliability as a source.Autarch (talk) 17:02, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reaction[edit]

Why is there a quote from the owner of one bookstore in the reaction section? Isn't the fact that the bookstore has sold many copies damning WRT to the reliability of the opinion, not to mention the notability of this individual is nonexistent.98.240.67.27 (talk) 23:36, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
