== POV ==
This article reads like a fan page or a press release.--] 19:42, 7 July 2006 (UTC)


----

Someone might want to add to the pop culture section. There was a punk song with the lyrics "sit on my face, Stevie Nicks" which might be worth mentioning. I don't have time to look it up right now. I was using this page to teach me how to do music tables for another project I was working on. --] 20:05, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

FWIW, The Rotters was a band from Ventura County, CA...

== Spam link ==

I removed a link to a site selling "Stevie Nicks style" clothes and jewelry (enchantedmirror . com), since it obviously did not belong per ]. Several anonymous IP addresses have been trying to add it back without discussion, so please remove it if it is re-added. ]] 19:51, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

== Voice ==

What do you think of making a section on her voice?

:Let's not. --] 18:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

==Blindness==

I've often heard that Nicks has very poor eyesight and may well be legally blind; surely this should be mentioned if it is true. (And if it is not, it's a common enough belief about her that should be debunked.) I haven't found anything conclusive about this, so if there's someone who can document this, please do so. ] <sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 20:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
: I didn't think Misplaced Pages was in the business of debunking myths, but if you feel so strongly about it, go ahead and add it to the article. --] <sup>]]</sup>/<sub>]]</sub> <small>&bull;&nbsp;</small> 05:42, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
::Read my post again. Is she near-blind or isn't she? If she is, it belongs in the article. I do not feel strongly about Stevie Nicks, and would prefer that someone else who knows the subject matter better add this information. ] <sup><font size="-2">]</font></sup> 07:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
:::According to , Nicks' eyesight was indeed poor, but "legally blind" would imply that she could barely see even with corrective lenses, which seems not to be the case. That article mentions her switching to semi-permanent contact lenses (it sounds like she switched to those right around the time of the plagiarism court case over her song "Sara"), and many interviews mention her need for "unflattering glasses" in the past. She also apparently had some sort of in the 90s, presumably so she wouldn't need the contacts anymore. This (a couple of years after the eye surgery) indicates that Nicks must still wear reading glasses, however. - ] 18:13, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

==Betty Ford twice?==

This article makes it sound like Stevie went to Betty Ford twice for cocaine addiction. According to any interview I have seen with her, she claims that she had to make it through the "Rock A Little" tour before she could go to rehab. There should be some clarity in the writing as there seems to be some confusion with her time with Dylan & Petty in Australia vs. her Rock A Little tour ending in Australia and then the start of her stint at Betty Ford.
Also, the straw, roadie and anal consumption of cocaine has NEVER been substantiated. In fact, Nicks says that this completely untrue. Therefore, those statements do not have a place in a Misplaced Pages article. ] 06:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

:The second time she went into rehab was to kick her addiction to Klonopin, a tranquilizer. - ] 06:41, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

The Betty Ford episode happened towards the end of the tour. She continued the RAL tour after her stay in the facility, including the Australia dates. It has been suggested that there were actually two rehab episodes for cocaine, but this hasn't been substantiated. And, you can't always go by what Stevie Nicks says in interviews. Often, her stories are inconsistent or emblished, or details glossed over.

== University of Southern California ==

I heard from somewhere that she went to USC and was in the marching band and thats why they were on the song "Tusk". Any validity to that.

--I have never heard that. I'm an avid Stevie Nicks fan and do alot of reading and have never read anything even mentioning that. --] 06:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I am also a fan of Stevie Nicks and know pretty much everthing there is to no about her. Stevie went to several high schools which are Arcadia High School and Menlo-Atherton High School where she met Lyndsey. She went to San Jose State College. She has never been in a band. This is something I got from a site The University of Southern California marching band played on this. Mick Fleetwood decided to use a big brass sound after a visit to Europe in 1978 where he saw brass bands marching down the street. The band thought it would be a good idea to hire a band to play their intro music at concerts, and this idea developed into the USC band recording this at Dodger Stadium.

== James Brown Sux Reference ==

New to this, but there is a reference at the bottom of the article "James Brown Sux.....". Not sure how to edit this out. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 19:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

== Is this album 'missing' ==

Hello...I'm not a Nicks fan so I'll leave it to those 'that know' to deal with this...

ArtistDirect.com (which I find comprehensive) has the followinig album listed but is isn't in the Wiki page:

http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/store/artist/album/0,,202122,00.html?src=search

????


] 13:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

That album is not considered a major album. The same thing happened with Fleetwood Mac's Mirage Tour DVD, it was excluded because it didnt make a big enough impact to be noticed. If you feel strongly about it then somebody can add it to the list. ] 06:17, 16 February 2007 (UTC)



== Vandalism ==

On the last paragraph of "Personal Life", someone put that they didn't like and stupid stuff!
Misplaced Pages is not a personal journal for your opinion thoughts like that, it's considered vandalism, please do not that again. (] 05:16, 11 February 2007 (UTC)).

==Cocaine, Novel method of ingestion==
It's a well known fact that she used to have a novel method of ingesting cocaine which comprised of a roadie blowing cocaine into her rectal canal. However i can't find a credible link to this story, is it worth noting? It is part of Rock and Roll history. ] 11:21, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
:if it was a "well known fact" you'd be able to find a link to something on the subject. It's an urban legend. ] 14:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)It is not true. Rumors spread like wild fires. Remember when they said Richard Gere put gerbils up his rectum. This is just one of the many rumors out there. Stevie only snorted cocaine
::Nicks responds to this rumor . Most versions of the rumor claim that it was because of her "destroyed nasal passages" that she had to do it that way. Nicks has certainly admitted that there was a hole in her nose, even describing its size. She says, however, that she had no idea about the hole until urged by a friend to see a plastic surgeon in 1985, who informed her of the hole, and the danger of cerebral hemmorage if she continued to use cocaine. According to , once she had finished touring after learning this, she checked into Betty Ford and has been coke-free ever since.

::She does say she did a "tiny, little bit" of cocaine before that tour was over, but she says she "had to be very careful", which may imply that she continued to use nasal snorting as her method of ingestion up until she quit completely. Of course, it could also imply to some that there is truth to the rumor.

::Unless one were to find reliable eyewitness accounts from several people of this "novel method of ingestion", I doubt anyone will ever know one way or another what the real truth was.

::I would argue that it is certainly worth mentioning in the article, simply because so many people have heard it. I doubt this rumor will ever die, but at least if it can be written about here from a ], then the rumor and its associated sensationalism can at the very least be discouraged. - ] 19:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

::Ha ha ha, I seriously doubt that such a method is even possible. Try holding an empty bottle sideways and blowing some powder into it; it won't go inside, it'll just blow back out toward you. Urban legend.--] (]) 00:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

==Breast Implants, and Chronic Fatigue / Epstein-Barr Syndrome ==

Nicks had breast augmentation surgery in 1976. The silicone implants were, however, to give her problems later in life. Plagued by chronic fatigue and persistent malaise, Nicks believed the implants to have broken, blaming them for her declining health and consulted numerous physicians in order to prove (?) her theory. After several test results proved negative, against medical advice Nicks had the implants surgically removed. It subsequently transpired that the implants had indeed been broken.<sup>1</sup>

Due to the high levels of silicone left in her bloodstream by the implants Nicks spent the next year in and out of hospital, as well as making several visits to acupuncturists and undergoing numerous sessions with cleansing IV drips to remove the toxic silicone from her blood.<sup>2</sup> Reflecting in 2004 Nicks remarked "It was truly awful...I'd advise against having them"<sup>3</sup>

:The notion that silicone implants (anywhere in the body) cause chronic fatigue is '''completely unscientific''' and without any foundation. Numerous careful scientific medical studies have shown no connection between the two. Also, silicone materials are inert in the human body and in other animals. We are a carbon-based lifeform, and silicones consist of long chains of alternating silicon & oxygen atoms, tightly bound together, and non-reactive with biochemical compounds. They are just as inert as titanium and its alloys are. <br>Furthermore, the terms "chronic fatigue" and "persistent malaise" are synonymous with each other, and so it is redundant to write both of them down.<br>Also, their is '''lots''' of difference between ''proving'' a theory and endeavoring to find evidence that supports it. It is quite common to try to find evidence that supports a theory or hypothesis - and then, finding none or very little, the notion must be discarded of.<br>Please take your unscientific thinking elsewhere, and also do endeavor to learn something about science and correct reasoning.] (]) 18:26, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== Stand Back EP and iTunes ==

I recently found out that a "Stand Back EP" has been released onto iTunes. Does anybody think that should be mentioned or should that be left out for now? ] 00:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I added that Stevie Nicks currently holds the 14 spot on the dance club play chart with "Stand Back".
:This should all go into the ] article. "Stand Back" is the album's first (?) single. - ] 18:12, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

==Ancestry==
Does anyone know what's her ancestry? She looks like she might have native american ancestry?
:Nicks mentions some of her ancestry (German) . If you go to Ancestry.com and search for Stephanie Nicks, you'll see a result from their OneWorldTree. Unfortunately, you have to have a membership to view it, but you can also see it if you take the free three-day trial. I haven't checked it out myself, though. - ] 21:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

== Not bisexual.... ==

I just noticed a couple of sentences in the "personal life" section claiming that Nicks has said she is bisexual. In however, she specifically says she is not bisexual. If anyone can find citations for this then OK, but otherwise it seems like someone added that to be mean or start a rumor or something. It should be removed from the article in that case....

== Too Long ==

Hi, I really think that there is a lot of information in here that is not needed. The stalker part is competely out of place, and I am not really sure if her fleetwood mac albums should be included because her solo career had nothing to do with Fleetwood Mac, does anyone else agree? ] 05:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)Kyle
:There's a balance between duplicating content and ignoring or minimising major elements of her career. FMac should definitely be discussed, but not duplicated, except elements relating to Fmac and their work that are material to Nicks herself (issues relating to writing, behaviour during recording, performance etc). But I haven't looked at the article in a while, I don't know how much could (or should) be trimmed. The stalker thing, well, why do you think it's out of place? ] 06:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, just a Misplaced Pages user here, but I have to agree that this article is simply too wordy. There's way too much information provided, even compared to some country pages!!] (]) 12:52, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

== What about 1975? ==

For all the detail that is in this article, there seems to be a big leap between the end of the "Buckingham Nicks" section and the beginning of the "Rumours" section. Of course a lot of that would be duplicative of the history of Fleetwood Mac, but it would be nice to know how, for example, Stevie was accepted into Fleetwood Mac, and how their first album as an integrated group came to be. I do remember that that self-titled album took a year to get to the top of the Billboard Top 200 album chart. Some detail about Stevie during this time would be much appreciated.

==Stupid hatnote==
== Visits to wounded soldiers ==
Nobody in the known universe is going to confuse one of the most iconic singers in popular music history with an obscure album track by a barely known band. Reeks of self-promotion. ] (]) 04:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
:Let's reel in the rhetoric a bit.
:You don't think we should have the hatnote. That does not make it "stupid".
:As a Fleetwood Mac fan for several decades who has seen them in concert several times and Nicks solo once, I'd say "one of the most iconic singers in popular music history" is an exaggeration.
:"Self-promotion"? I guess it's ''possible'' {{u|Jax 0677}} created an account in 2008, edited for 4 years, became part of a Texas band in 2012, waited for the band's 6th album 8 years later and decided to use his 12 years of editing Misplaced Pages to back up the weakest possible self-promotion I can think of in 2020. Then again, it's more likely you just disagree with the hatnote.
:IMO, per ], "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." It seems unlikely that a non-single and otherwise non-notable track from an album with no singles (does "Entertainment One Music" have A&R reps?) from a weakly notable band, it's unlikely someone came to Misplaced Pages looking for details on the song.
:Additionally, the edit warring to remove the hatnote is absurd. The hatnote sat there for a month before an IP decided it was somehow "spam". They were reverted. That would be a good time to ] the issue. Instead, the IP removed it again. Another good time to discuss the issue... FlightTime reverted again, asking for discussion. Then we got the above, and {{u|Escape Orbit}} removing it again.

::Sorry, I wasn't aware there had been edit warring about this, but I stand by my edit. Very few people are going to come to Misplaced Pages looking for this album track. The album track is not of any significant notability, otherwise it would have an article of its own. No-one is going confuse the album article with the BLP, or expect to find an article on the album track in preference to the BLP. I don't believe the fact it sat there for a mere month to be a good reason for it being kept any longer. I'm not going to speculate on why it was added, but the editor who added it was misguided.
::I am, of course, happy to be reverted if anyone can put a good case why it should be there. But I doubt it, and can't image why anyone would think it needs discussed. --] <sup>]</sup> 08:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)


== Mystical stage persona ==
A childhood friend of mine is in Walter Reed hospital after being gravely injured in Iraq. A few days after he was admitted, Nicks visited him, talked with him for a while and gave him a fully loaded Ipod. The staff told his parents that she has been doing this for every wounded soldier who comes there. Has anyone else heard of this? If an RS can be found it should definitely be in the article -- it's far more noteworthy than an interminable list of TV shows that have mentioned her. ] 10:01, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

The notion of having a section on "Future Plans" is a loco one - because this is supposed to be an encyclopedia of verifiable knowledge of things and events - and as such, "Future Plans" are completely irrelavent here, since the future is always in a state of change / unpredictability. Plans are always evanescent.<br>For example, Richard Nixon's plans for the rest of his second term as the President of the United States are irrelevant, and aren't documented here, since those plans never came to pass. They didn't have a chance, since Nixon resigned from the Presidency in 1974, well-before the end of his term.] (]) 18:47, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Stupid hatnote

Nobody in the known universe is going to confuse one of the most iconic singers in popular music history with an obscure album track by a barely known band. Reeks of self-promotion. 2A02:C7F:8F1A:F700:53:B8E6:7522:7E49 (talk) 04:11, 22 July 2020 (UTC)

Let's reel in the rhetoric a bit.
You don't think we should have the hatnote. That does not make it "stupid".
As a Fleetwood Mac fan for several decades who has seen them in concert several times and Nicks solo once, I'd say "one of the most iconic singers in popular music history" is an exaggeration.
"Self-promotion"? I guess it's possible Jax 0677 created an account in 2008, edited for 4 years, became part of a Texas band in 2012, waited for the band's 6th album 8 years later and decided to use his 12 years of editing Misplaced Pages to back up the weakest possible self-promotion I can think of in 2020. Then again, it's more likely you just disagree with the hatnote.
IMO, per WP:HNR, "Mention other topics and articles only if there is a reasonable possibility of a reader arriving at the article either by mistake or with another topic in mind." It seems unlikely that a non-single and otherwise non-notable track from an album with no singles (does "Entertainment One Music" have A&R reps?) from a weakly notable band, it's unlikely someone came to Misplaced Pages looking for details on the song.
Additionally, the edit warring to remove the hatnote is absurd. The hatnote sat there for a month before an IP decided it was somehow "spam". They were reverted. That would be a good time to discuss the issue. Instead, the IP removed it again. Another good time to discuss the issue... FlightTime reverted again, asking for discussion. Then we got the above, and Escape Orbit removing it again.
Seriously. - SummerPhD 03:38, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, I wasn't aware there had been edit warring about this, but I stand by my edit. Very few people are going to come to Misplaced Pages looking for this album track. The album track is not of any significant notability, otherwise it would have an article of its own. No-one is going confuse the album article with the BLP, or expect to find an article on the album track in preference to the BLP. I don't believe the fact it sat there for a mere month to be a good reason for it being kept any longer. I'm not going to speculate on why it was added, but the editor who added it was misguided.
I am, of course, happy to be reverted if anyone can put a good case why it should be there. But I doubt it, and can't image why anyone would think it needs discussed. --Escape Orbit 08:55, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

Mystical stage persona

What is a "mystical stage persona"? The lede says she has one, but there seems to be nothing in the article to support it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:27, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

I don't think that kind of wording belongs in an encyclopedia. Besides, the cited source is from a blog on her own website. I will remove it. /VFD Very Fantastic Dude (talk) 12:56, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
Nicks says "muse" about Harry Styles, who in turn says Nicks supports him. The connection was found Notable there. Is this notable here, and how could it be written in this article? TGCP (talk) 21:12, 3 July 2022 (UTC)

2023 concerts with Billy Joel

Below is a quote from the tour section in the article:

"In 2023, she and Billy Joel will perform a series of concerts across the United States".

It is 2024 now, either the concerts happened or they didn't. Either way it is out of date. (Fran Bosh (talk) 21:03, 22 March 2024 (UTC))

Stevie Nicks

She also playes the piano. 2601:243:2181:1AC0:5F0:AB77:8E6:24D7 (talk) 13:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Recommendation

The article's lead section appears to be overly descriptive of her accomplishments rather than providing a broad overview of Nicks' life and career. The extensive coverage of her awards distracts from the introduction of some of the article's other subtopics, like her artistry and personal life. Ramblinman1 (talk) 12:43, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Touring with Joe Walsh

The following sentence:

Nicks toured with Walsh in 1984.

is inaccurate. The tour with Walsh as opening act was in 1983, not 1984. See Waddy Wachtel’s website for confirmation (Wachtel was the lead guitarist on the tour).

what is Stevie Nicks husband name and what does he look like? 2600:6C54:7E00:1AC7:E438:698B:E0AC:F7E5 (talk) 11:38, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
