Talk:Kristin Prim

Section

I know Wikipedia does not tend to not be very keen on fashion personalities as a majority, however I believe we need to be a well-rounded community. I surely think a 16-year-old girl who has gotten as much attention as her, completes the jobs she does so well, and acts as inspiration, both stylistically and work-wise, deserves to be credited.

I do believe this page should stay as it is an exemplary reference for the fashion community on a popular figure however I do admit some of this information seems biased, which I offer to fix. Should you disagree, I think we should give it a chance and see how it does. I can understand why you would mark this as such, as it seems she is more of an "It Girl" than a serious journalist, however we have many other fashion personalities on here who have achieved much less than Kristin and their pages are still posted. Also, I surely agree with Thefashionexpert and feel the youngest published, print magazine editor worldwide deserves to be credited, not to mention her other press, popularity, recognition, and accomplishments. I feel this is an excellent reference as it encompasses much information about her which can be used by the general public and journalists. As I said, I am offering to clean the page up. Perhaps it would do better being a part of the Wiki:Fashion community. Wikihaute (talk) 12:51, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I have removed the bias points of the article and included more relevant information. I do not understand why it is still under consideration for deletion being reasons for its stay are clearly stated (being the youngest print magazine editor on record ever worldwide at fourteen, popular model with magazine and advertising credentials, successful collaborator, front row fixture at Fashion Weeks, popular fashion personality, etc.) It is my first article here and if someone could explain to me why these are not relevant points to include in an encyclopedia entry on a popular figure, I would be able to edit it. Thanks! Thefashionexpert (talk) 17:40, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Has the copyright issue been addressed? If any copyright text from elsewhere is still present, it must go or be rewritten (or copyright released under the GFDL or Creative Commons things - see blue links under an edit box). I can't check Kristin's site to see if this is so or not as the site requires a version of Flash that I do not have on my computer (and fail to see why I should get, as it seems mainly to be used for unnecessary frills and advertising). As to the magazine - what is the circulation, etc? (I too edited a magazine at 15 - circulation about 150.) As to references - Refinery29 looks OK. so does FashionIndie. I've taken off the notability tag - I just replaced it when someone took it off with no explanation. But the copyright thing needs checking and I can't do that because of this Flash barrier. (Why do people not allow for this and have a Flash free access for those who just want info rather than moving pics and twiddly things?) Peridon (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Personally, I must say that I find the whole world of fashion totally ridiculous, and am occasionally worried to find I am wearing something fashionable. You would probably find some of the things I get up to totally ridiculous. I do keep neutral here, and have even been known to rescue an article about a rapper from deletion. Check the copyright issue and report back to me. I'll take your word on it. (Others with Flash might check up, so do be honest...) Peridon (talk) 18:52, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I thank you for your understanding to the topic! Peridon, I believe the print circu is just over 60,000 and the readership is over 500,000 between the print editions and paid online readership, as stated in one of the articles. Her website is kristin-prim.com but it links to kristinprim.typepad.com, her actual site. kristin-prim.com is simply an introduction page to her actual site. Since some cannot view it at kristin-prim.com, should I change it to kristinprim.typepad.com so all can see? Also, I believe the copyright bot is picking up on a copyright issue simply because she has her press listed on her sidebar (which you will be able to see at kristinprim.typepad.com). She doesn't even write on her site, it is a visual diary, so I cannot even fathom how it would be considered plagiarism. I understand the bot is, in fact, a bot and doesn't have cognitive reasoning to distinguish listing from sentences. Please let me know what you think about the link change and "copyright issue. I would be more than happy to edit it should it be necessary. Thanks! Thefashionexpert (talk) 20:08, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I've removed the bot. I can't see anything there to worry about. The link - I'd be happy if you'd add the typepad link as a non-Flash version - leave the other one for the Flashers.... Looks all OK to me, but others may have different opinions. (I disagree about things - like the notability of college coaches...) Peridon (talk) 21:10, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, I thought I'd removed it. It won't go. Yes, it will. Don't know what was going on. It's always gone before with no fuss. Peridon (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello! This was getting an orphan tag so I went ahead and found accounts where it was linked but failed to include the linkage code. Also, I accidentally deleted the notability tag before thinking it was the orphan tag. It said that more primary sources are needed so, again, I would only be more than happy to put more relevant information in and add more primary sources. Anything to make the fashion community a little more vibrant. When this page is settled I will surelyt go onto editing other fashion accounts. Wikihaute (talk) 11:34, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I just added citations for where they were necessary. It was getting a notability tag due to the lack of notable citations however I just added tags for the missing information. In The Fashion Spot interview, she mentions that Kristin has over 500,000 returning readers. I will also search for where it was listed that Prim hit the half-million unique reader mark in another source. Thefashionexpert (talk) 00:35, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

As will I. I saw she was just in the last issue of French ELLE as well so I will cite information scouted from the online version of that too. Wikihaute (talk) 00:40, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Just added another two sources. Will work more tomorrow then move onto a few more fashion-related articles as need be. I might have to be on the front lines a little more as extremely valuable fashion Wiki pages are being questioned. I sincerely thank members such as Peridon who might not understand the field or why these people are so necessary simply because of a few threads, but still respect the need for these pages on Wikipedia. These pages on notable and popular fashion figures are in great demand by fashion students, journalists, editors, and the millions of enthusiasts alike in this multi-billion dollar industry.
