Why is it that Newsom's page is spelled incorrectly? If you type in "Newsom", you are directed to "Newsome"...??? NLK

Typing "Newsom" brings up the search result Newsome (a village in England). Searching Joanna Newsome (a very common misspelling of her name) redirects to Joanna Newsom (this article). I think that's how it should be set up, perhaps adding a disambiguation page to (the currently blank) Newsom page pointing to the two things if it really gets confusing. Most people know (and probably type) her first name though). Hope that's helpful. Jellypuzzle | ^Talk 08:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the following: "Newsom has faced a moderate amount of criticism by people in feminist circles for her child like voice." pending citations for this. I'll have a look around in the meantime. Xobxela 06:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free image

Regarding licensing for the photo that was added here:

"It is believed that the use of some such photographs to illustrate:

the person(s), product, event, or subject in question
in the absence of a free alternative,
on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law." (emphasis mine)

The previous photo was CC-licensed, so it seems to me that using the new photo wouldn't qualify as fair use. I've backed out this change for now. Also, I think Ys should remain labelled "forthcoming" until it comes out. I've reverted that as well. Hope this makes sense. →smably 21:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
