Caution: The Biographies of Living Persons applies to this article!!!
[edit]Taylor Swift wrote this song about her freshman year of high school. Taylor uses an autobiographic style. As such, Fifteen draws on biographical information about her, her friend, and their classmates. The Biographies of Living Persons policy states:
Editors must take particular care when adding information about living persons to any Wikipedia page. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to all applicable laws in the United States, to this policy, and to our three core content policies:
* Neutral point of view (NPOV) * Verifiability (V) * No original research (NOR)
AND
Biographies of living persons (BLPs) must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives, and the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to BLPs, including any living person mentioned in a BLP even if not the subject of the article, and to material about living persons on other pages. The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia rests with the person who adds or restores material. [emphasis added]
Taylor and her peers were minors when these events occurred. Therefore, by Wikipedia policy and common courtesy, they are entitled to a greater presumption of privacy. Sehome Bay (talk) 00:06, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Cute little vandalism
[edit]diff. Be on the lookout for IP's "correcting grammar errors" (it's more suspicious than empty edit summaries). I'm seconds away from sleep or I'd fix it myself now. Chances are I'll still get to it first, but in case anyone's watching this page, take care of it.

Comments
[edit]Lead:
- In the lead section, it would help to describe Nathan Chapman's role (seems he is a music producer)
- It says, "Swift self-penned the song and co-produced it along with Nathan Chapman." I suppose I could add the word producer in front of his name, but that would make it redundant. Anyhow, I think since it says he produced it that makes him a producer. -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 04:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- No problem, it is also mentioned he was a producer at the infobox. -- Matthew RD 12:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Background:
- Ref [1] seems to say "Cut by But", but the title on the webside says "Cut by Cut"
Done
- "And Abigail gave everything she had to boy" never heard the song before, but isn't there a word missing here? Or is it just me?
- the word "a" was missing.
Done -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 04:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- the word "a" was missing.
- Ref [1] does not say exactly which high school she attended.
Done
- The ref also doesn't recall the first verse quoted there either, but is mentioned in ref [9].
- It does. "I wrote this around the story line of my best friend from high school, Abigail. I started everything with the line “Abigail gave everything she had to a boy who changed his mind” and wrote everything else from that point, almost backwards. I just decided I really wanted to tell that story about our first year of high school because I felt in my freshman year, I grew up more than any year in my life so far." -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 04:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, missed that. -- Matthew RD 12:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- "Swift became very nervous to show Abigail the song, for she did not know how Anderson would respond." You mentioned Swift's friend's name by both first and last names, the only instance in this article. Since you mentioned her by last name more, perhaps change sentence to "Swift became very nervous to show Anderson the song, for she did not know how her friend would respond."
Done
Critical reception:
- "best rack"? I thought the review was about the song not Swift's chest :)
- LLMFFAAOO! ;) -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 04:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
Music video:
- "The world moved from situation to the next." What situation? The one mentioned in the previous sentence?
- It's in general. I added the word "one" before "situation". -- ipodnano05 * leave@message 04:20, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- "in order so she could guide herself." reword to "in order to guide herself."
Done
@15:
- "scenes of Swift encouraging reminiscing on high school" doesn't make sense, it seems "encouraging" was added by mistake, and it is included later in the sentence.
Done
And that's about it. Quite a few concerns but shouldn't take too long hopefully. The article was a good read. I will place it on hold for seven days. Good luck. -- Matthew RD 02:57, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for your responses. As all the issues have been addressed, I will now pass the article. Good job. -- Matthew RD 12:54, 27 March 2011 (UTC)
