This is a horrible article

[edit]

I don't even know where to start... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epigrammed (talkcontribs) 02:59, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At first, I thought you were trolling, and I apologize for that. After taking a look at the article, it seems that an anon decided to copy and paste Ms. Friesen's biography from the Global National website. That doesn't belong on Wikipedia.  █ EMARSEE 03:50, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed changes

[edit]

Hi Jytdog, apologies for the inconvenience. Can you please review my changes and see if it fits WP:NPOV? In my edit, I had updated the infobox, added some more references, claimed that she is the first full-time female news anchor to lead a nightly newscast in Canada, expanded her current career section, provided citation asked for the award which she won, changed her date of birth to the correct one and removed Tom Kennedy as her husband because they are not married and neither in any sort of relationship. Dawna Friesen has a son with him. That's it. Please have a look. From next time onwards, I'll go through the talk page. Thank you. Mr RD 20:43, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The proposed edit is here. I have added a "request edit" template which you should have used; please use it going forward. Mr RD please also add the template:connected contributor (paid) template to the top of this Talk page and complete it . Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:05, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Samantha S" is not sufficient. Please complete that, thanks. Jytdog (talk) 21:12, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I've completed the disclosure. Thank you. Mr RD 17:57, 6 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, is there any timeline when this request can be reviewed? Thank you, Mr RD 19:00, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I don't see the details of the disclosure, because you have stated that you are waiting for input from your customer. There is no hurry on our part for you to complete the disclosure if there is no hurry on your part to edit. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Robert McClenon, I have completed my disclosure in this edit. I'll no longer be editing the page myself and will only be suggesting the edits through the talk page for subjects for which I have been paid according to Paid contributions. Please take a look at my last edit on Dawna Friesen's page which was reverted by Jytdog. Thank you, Mr RD 17:20, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I reviewed the proposed changes and took was well-sourced. I also worked over the whole article so it is all well sourced. Jytdog (talk) 06:27, 23 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Jytdog, thank you for having a look at my edit request and your work on the page. A few points, I'll like to point out here:
  1. Ms. Friesen's date of birth is not what is mentioned on the page. From what I gathered from the internet and my client, her actual date of birth is 8 October 1964.[1][2] However as I'm not sure of the reliability of the sources, I leave this decision to you.
  2. For Gemini Awards here is the link. She won a solo award for "Best News Anchor". (She was also nominated for one team award under the name "Best News Special Event Coverage" so I guess you might have missed this one because of this).
Please let me know if you need anything else. And thank you once again for all your hard work. '

no, those are terrible sources, especially for a BLP. I added the gemini award winning, not the nomination. 23:35, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello Mr RD - Since these aren't great sources, should Dawna's partner be removed as well? These articles aren't accurate. Samanthajayne77 (talk) 14:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hello, thank you all for your help on this as the article is now more up to date. Can I ask about the other edits proposed by Jytdog? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.15.65 (talkcontribs) 16:05, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't propose any edits, but sure you can ask about content and sourcing here. Jytdog (talk) 18:50, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jytdog, I was referencing the additional edits you requested in the info boxes. Could we update this with the more recent coverage points? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.15.65 (talk) 16:13, 15 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'd like to add some recent coverage points to keep this article up to date. I'm prepared to provide a long list of reference points for this. Could an editor without a conflict please assist with these edits? Samanthajayne77 (talk) 14:54, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, although this might seem unlikely, I am her nephew, Dashiell Friesen (although this doesn’t really prove anything). I would just like to comment and say that her birthdate was incorrect (it should be December 31, 1963). She also wasn’t married to Tom Kennedy, and was just with him. Her first marriage was Rick Anderson in 2018, and I was in fact at the wedding. I celebrated her 50th birthday in Winnipeg at the end of 2013. There isn’t really a way for me to be able to prove this, so I guess you just have to trust me. Mashdash (talk) 6:49, 29 December 29 2018 (EST)
