Performance Order #.[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Please do not remove this. I integrated this into the charts very successfully last season. (This applies to all of the Top 12 contenders.) It is factual information, in that it is an indisputable order in which the contestant performed on that particular night. And it is relevant to anyone doing a review or synopsis of the show who wants to analyze statistics and such. (Notice how all 3 who performed last on their respective nights made the Top 12.) It is an especially good record one they all perform on the same night. Thank you.--Cinemaniac86^Oy_gevalt. 00:30, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Recent changes[edit]

Today, User:Sammi127 made several unexplained, unsourced edits and then reversions. I am bringing up the discussion here to try and get a consensus here.

1) Birth date/Birth place/Hometown - Deleted without an explanation. Unless these can be proved to be incorrect they should be kept. 2) Music genres - Singer/songwriter is not a genre and I think both pop rock and power pop are incorrectly applied here. Unless there is a reliable source to back up these genres they should be left out of the article. 3) Occupations - Speaker, which leads to a dab page, and author have no reliable sources to back up this information, so they should be left out of the article.

Hopefully this will spark some discussion here. Aspects (talk) 04:43, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As management, we are attempting to correct this article on behalf of Scott MacIntyre. There are many inaccuracies in your original version related to Scott's visual impairment, his birthplace, his career, and certain facts about American Idol. We kindly request that you allow us to make these changes without reversing them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammi127 (talk • contribs) 05:57, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As MacIntyre's management, you have a conflict of interest in editing this article. Even if you did not have this conflict of interest you could "fix mistakes" if you had reliable sources to back up the information you are trying to change. Aspects (talk) 23:47, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the changes again because here was no reliable sources to back up the information. Please read through WP:Reliable sources and find some to support the information you want included. Aspects (talk) 21:28, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect number of CDs[edit]

Scott was born in Redondo Beach, CA. Scottsdale, AZ, is where he currently lives. If you don't believe me, email him at scottmacintyre@cox.net. He'll tell you, I'm sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.204.34 (talk) 23:36, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed this article says that MacIntyre has released 5 CD's. He has released 9, if we count the Glute's EP. http://www.scottmacintyre.com/cds.htm The paragraph does mention the Christmas Angel EP and Heartrings, but the statement that he has released 5 CD's is incorrect. BEFORE Idol he released 7. Since Idol, 9. I don't know how to edit this but someone should!

Sammi127: I think Scott's management has every right to edit the article about him. As a graduate journalism student, I am taught that spreading false information (which is all over this page) is absolutely unacceptable. Scott's management must know him better than anyone else, and would be able to get facts correct. Just my opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.165.204.34 (talk) 23:39, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
