Unsourced nonsense?

Nicks performed in a series of shows in August 2010 (...) They did not contain any of her new music, because she did not want it to end up on YouTube. When Google'ing for this refusal to have her new music on YouTube, I only came up with Misplaced Pages copycat sites. So can we be sure she actually said that...ever? -andy 2.242.249.182 (talk) 14:05, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

A solo tour for In Your Dreams began on(...) had no source or citation for it. While it may be true is there anything out there? I looked and found videos from that night but she said nothing about touring. (Loganphil (talk) 08:09, 28 January 2017 (UTC))

Picture

the picture used in her infobox is NOT from 2015...it appears to be from sometime between 2005-2008

Change Page from Edit to View Source

How do we go about changing this page from basic 'Edit' to 'View Source', so that truly legitimate (maybe) sources may be represented on this wikipedia page. Such a change will give more legitimacy to this page, especially with claims (rightfully) of Stevie being the Queen of Rock n Roll. Please go about doing so if possible.

Like what sources? Queen of Rock n Roll sounds rather subjective. Karst (talk) 12:02, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Stevie Nicks birthday

In this article it says Nicks was born on May 26, but in the recent biography by Stephen Davis, he says she was born on May 28. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.48.132.115 (talk) 06:17, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Stevie Nicks Guitar?

I'm pretty sure Stevie Nick can play the Guitar, can anyone shed some light? Nasma654 (talk) 16:20, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Not sure, but probably can. - FlightTime (open channel) 23:21, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

Instruments

Nicks has played the guitar and piano multiple times. You can find videos of her singing Rhiannon on piano, especially during her cameo in AHS: Coven.

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)
