Uhhhh

Now being an amateur dancer on a tv show is worthy of an "encyclopedia" like this? I think we need to start documenting who's been on Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire? too!

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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Her Degree

Did Erin Andrews graduate with a degree in telecommunications (the understanding of how electrical equipment sends messages via certain protocols, and studying things like 8PSK modulation which requires knowledge of physics and calculus), or a degree in communications (linguistics and the study of the origins of speech and words)? Two vastly different fields. Just trying to clarify for certain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.235.221.33 (talk) 17:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Take it up with the University of Florida. The degree is called Telecommunications, with sub-majors in Management, News and Production. I imagine it was News, but it doesn't change the fact that this is what the degree is called. Just as 'Qwest' and 'Xcel' aren't real words, we are forced into using them.

Deadspin

Should we mention how she is worshipped by those losers on deadspin? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.242.163.230 (talk) 03:40, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Yes we should. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.82.248 (talk) 19:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Deadspin mocks Erin Andrews. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.229.39 (talk) 23:56, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

New York Post

I think it is worth a mention in the article that the New York Post has now posted photos from this infamous video. http://snarkfood.com/espn-reporter-erin-andrews-peephole-pictures-published-by-new-york-post/

And then subsequently the Post had its reporters banned from participating in ESPN programming due to the publication of the photos. Has that ever happened before - at least, in such a public way? http://snarkfood.com/espn-bans-new-york-post-reporters-over-erin-andrews-peephole-video-pictures/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeattleEditorGirl (talk • contribs) 19:49, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Nude Voyeur Video

This is definitely not encyclopedic. Would anyone really miss it if this section disappeared, with maybe a reference to the story by a mainstream news service (AP, Reuters, etc)? I know that a lot of Misplaced Pages editors are 4chan, Fark, Slashdot, and Something Awful users, as well, but this really isn't the place to be posting about porn videos, where to find them, and whether you'd hit it or not. How about we leave that to those aforementioned web sites, and keep Misplaced Pages encyclopedic? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 19:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

The section is probably too long right now, it's length is out of proportion with the incident's role in her overall career, but as this story did get wide coverage in the mainstream press it's notable for at least a mention. It's not really Misplaced Pages's place to impose supposed journalistic integrity on the press... they ran with it, that made it notable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.138.229.88 (talk) 19:19, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no interest in sports whatsoever, and I only found out about this woman because of the publicity surrounding the voyeur video. I think my case is a testament to this section's relevance. So I second your comment. Lothar76 (talk) 21:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

(ec) Maybe i'm missing something but I don't see anything in the article that's discussing where to find porn, or "whether you'd hit it or not". The section might be a touch long in relation to the rest of the article, but it looks like well referenced account of a very notable event. I'm not seeing anything inappropriate. Do you have a specific complaint?--Cube lurker (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

I think the 2nd paragraph about the controversy is not needed. Law _{type! snype?} 02:36, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps the solution is to merge wording about perception and reaction to Sideline reporter? Discussions about the role of female sideline reporters in general are not directly relevant to the Erin Andrews article, but they would seem to have a place in an article on sideline reporters. --74.138.229.88 (talk) 20:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree that it's way out of proportion with the rest of the article. I really am not thrilled with the section title either as it almost dignifies it. --B (talk) 12:48, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks like a good edit too me.--Cube lurker (talk) 13:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

This is the ONLY thing that she is famous for! I have been watching sports for 30 years or so and never have heard of Erin Andrews until her naked tapes came out on the news and The Pirate Bay!! Can anyone else say that they heard of her BEFORE her nude videos? I'll bet 90% of the people say 'no'. Plus, the only reason why she was on Dancing with the Stars is because she is famous for her naked videos. These videos are the best thing that has happened to her! I'll bet the number of her page views on Misplaced Pages exploded after this incident, and have stayed pretty high since then, thus all of the interest here on this discussion page.

Admit it - none of you would be here right now even looking at her page or engaged in this discussion but for her naked videos.

What does it mean when some of you complain that this section is too long in compared to the rest of the article? Is it our fault that she is famous for nothing else but being naked? Is it our fault that she has does nothing of note other than being naked on tape? Other than getting hit by a foul ball and being naked, in the last 10 years of her 'career' she has done nothing of note. I say this section should remain and be expended upon as news warrants (such as ESPNs attempt to get $300k from the video guy recently). Republic of Texas (talk) 18:38, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Espn return

Anyone know when she will be back? That would be good to put in the article. --24.119.32.80 (talk) 21:40, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Possible copyright violation

The section on her ESPN career is a very close paraphrase of her official ESPN bio at http://www.espnmediazone.com/bios/Talent/Andrews_Erin.htm .-- Jimmy Pitt (talk) 21:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

ESPN Thursday

She does both Thursday and Saturday night college football games. It will not allow me to add that, but someone should. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.254.145.241 (talk) 02:43, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Andrews

Is that Erin looking on from the left?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:14, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from Nigelstwin, 5 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} The final sentence of this entry should be adjusted grammatically. It currently reads: "In April 2010 it was revealed that Andrews was receiving email death threats since September 2009. The FBI was notified and security around her was tightened." It should read: "In April 2010 it was revealed that Andrews had been receiving email death threats since September 2009. The FBI was notified and security around her was tightened." Nigelstwin (talk) 16:23, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

 Done Welcome and thanks for the correction. Celestra (talk) 16:45, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit request from 70.244.40.251, 6 April 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} In the discussion about Erin Andrew's privacy invasion incident, the following sentence should be modified: "Supposedly, the woman was curling her hair unclothed while doing squat-like moves in front of the mirror." The comment about "squat-like" moves is certainly not needed for factual reporting, is overly titillating, and and also mostly inaccurate. She apparently picked up several items, including clothing, which may have prompted that comment to an individual overly salacious-minded. The woman has suffered enough embarrassment from the illegal invasion of her privacy, surely those words could be deleted! I suggest changing to: "In the video, the woman was seen curling her hair unclothed in front of the mirror."

 Done Welcome. Misplaced Pages isn't censored and we couldn't have done this had the sources reported that detail, but none of the sources in that section support that claim. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 20:59, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Brunette

I added a comment with a reference (http://bumpshack.com/2009/08/04/erin-andrews-brunette-high-school-photo/) that she is originally a brunette. It was removed with accusations of vandalism on me and threats on my page about blocking my account. Could someone please do some google on that and then jump the gun and bullying please? Its a different matter if you would just prefer her as blonde. 67.154.172.34 (talk) 09:45, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

You have my undivided attention... - 4twenty42o (talk) 10:17, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

You may call it unimportant detail and remove it. But please dont call it vandalism and add warnings on my page because it is easy for you. If you agree please remove them as they do make a difference to my page. 67.154.172.34 (talk) 10:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Just to interject - I reverted the first edit which at the time was unsourced and pretty irrelevent. The reason you received a level 3 warning was because you have previously received warnings for additions to other pages. I suggest you set up a user account for future edits.Vrenator (talk)

This was not vandalism, so please wait until I do vandalism before you raise to the next level. I understand that you have the convenience to do that but please use your authority where it is applicable else it may be classified as bullying. And please be a little objective in your judgements. 67.154.172.34 (talk) 10:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

If you really look at a couple of lame ass templates as bullying then you got a long road ahead of you my friend. Listen, there are all kinds of people that make Misplaced Pages work as well as it does and some of those kinds of people are the "bullies" that weed out as much of the crap that people randomly toss in, as they can, hour after hour. Its not personal, its not even unfriendly. Its blunt and to the point. Stop what you are doing. Maybe you did something wrong. Maybe we made a mistake. But most importantly stop what you are doing... You did not do that. So you got a couple templates.. - 4twenty42o (talk) 10:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

What about freedom of speech. If I belive that people should know that she is not a natural blond which she does look like, why should I not write about it so other people like me who would be surprised by this would know about it. Ok I got a couple of templates before but this does not qualify as a template, so I would not stop writing things where they do make sense for the sake of fear. 67.154.172.34 (talk) 11:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I agree with 4twenty42o - also you have had numerous edits reverted hence all the warnings - again why don't you set up a user account, read the introduction to editing and do some constructive editing.Vrenator (talk) 11:04, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the explaination, can you please now take off the warnings if you believe not warranted for this particular case? I do a lot of constructive editing as well. I also have an account but it takes more time to log in. 67.154.172.34 (talk) 11:08, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
