Talk:Ainsley Earhardt

Untitled

"During her time at FOX New Channel she has covered major news events including the war in Iraq, Pope Benedict’s visit to the United States and the 2008 presidential election."

Considering that her "coverage" of these events consisted almost solely of reading headlines off a TelePrompTer in the studio and not any actual reporting from the field (nor even any actual interviews with newsmakers), I'm not sure if this sentence should stand as is. I'll leave it to more experience hands here to debate and decide if that dubious sentence should remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LisaS70 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Well, unsigned person, that's pretty much what all reporters do, isn't it? 155.213.224.59 (talk) 14:58, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

True, or even worse. We could name names. She is doing great and continue to rise. -- AstroU (talk) 19:09, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Born in 1980?

Unless she was 14 when she graduated from High School (May 1995), the age listed in this article may be inaccurate. Bwmoll3 (talk) 11:06, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

She was born in 1978 Krejaton (talk) 07:46, 8 December 2010 (UTC)Krejaton

wouldn't it help to put a birthday,or at least a birthyear—if known to be put in a Wikipedia article? 2600:8801:FB13:6B00:1027:CD0C:1EA8:297E (talk) 06:47, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm sure the article could be improved (albiet it is already pretty good), but not with Liberal media, please. Their negativity for her should go unnoticed, without even wasting time reading. -- AstroU (talk) 19:12, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

This is a poorly written article. It is essentially opinion, not fact and should be removed. 141.165.92.141 (talk) 19:25, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Reads like a PR piece

This article appears to be unbalanced, excessively praising of it's subject, and highly biased. Editorial adjectives are used excessively to lionize the subject, and I question its neutrality. This issue has been raised on previous occasions and overruled--was this in large part due to Fox New's influence on this piece? Alanrobts (talk) 23:29, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

I can't agree more. It really seems odd that any sort of Encyclopedic content would involve the subject calling themselves fair. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:6C5E:537F:DB8E:9D96:97A2:1932:1572 (talk) 12:45, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Mass-removal of RS content about her punditry

This edit removed pretty much any substantive text in the article about her punditry on a show watched by millions, including the President of the US.[1] The text fleshes out what her worldviews are, and this is all reliably sourced as far as I can tell.

NPOV

The section on Fox News is slanted. Instead of "Fox News," it ought to be called "Gaffes, inaccuracies, and support for Trump". It's fine if the section includes those three things, but that can't be all it consists of. There is also a problem with the tone; it is not encyclopedic. The section has been tagged. SunCrow (talk) 03:32, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

Agreed. Much of the content could stay, albeit rewritten a little bit. I think the section needs have some additional details about her career at Fox. I believe that I've seen something about her hosting a show on the Fox Nation service. I may add that and some other details in the coming days when I have time.

Incoherent sentence

"After Trump ordered the assassination of a top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general, Qasem Soleimani, and cited what it said was intelligence that necessitated the assassination, Earhardt defended the administration against requests that the administration show the intelligence."

Birth date and age

Hi everyone, I noticed there was a lock on the edit button for Ainsley Earhardt and was wondering if someone can plz put her birth date and age on the infobox. Her bday is September 20, 1976 and her age is now 47. Plz put it in her infobox, and I can’t edit her article bc I’m partially blocked. Thank u 🙏🏻, and have a great 👍🏻 day. Also, there is a WP:RS problem and I couldn’t find her reliable sources for her birth date and age. Dandielayla (talk) 14:25, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

If no reliable sources are available, the information stays out of the article. This policy explains further.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 19:55, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok 👌🏻, and I’m really sry. I tried searching for reliable sources for Ainsley Earhardt, and couldn’t find it but I checked each one to see if it was reliable. It didn’t really said if it was reliable, and thank u 🙏🏻 for explaining it to me. Awwwwwwww man 😔, and can u guys edit her infobox since I couldn’t find a reliable source? There was different sources that I found, and can’t tell if it was reliable or not. Why does Ainsley Earhardt have to have a WP:RS for her birth date, and age? I wasn’t trying to be mean to u, and or her article. Plz accept my apology, and I’m still new to Wikipedia. Dandielayla (talk) 04:01, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Um, that lock icon is specifically for you, due you your persistent disruption. See; your block log. The rest of us can edit the article just fine, but we will not be editing any such thing into the article. Zaathras (talk) 21:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok 👌🏻, and awwwwwwww man 😔. I’m really sry, and I didn’t know that. U guys can’t really put the birth date, and age in the infobox? I understand now why the lock icon is on, and I wasn’t trying to be mean to her article or u guys. I was new to Wikipedia, and noticed her birth date and age wasn’t on the infobox. Only her birthplace was on there, and I feel really stupid for editing her article bc I was trying to fix it but ruin everything I touch. I feel like a failed editing her WP:RS, and I know I’m still blocked from editing. Dandielayla (talk) 04:04, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Most of the sites on the web that mentions her birthday are unreliable sources. I'm not trying to sound harsh but, if you cannot find any reliable sources, I suggest you stop editing her article completely (even after your block expires). Please note that if you continue adding unreliable sources to the article after your block expires, you will most certainly be blocked indefinitely. 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 08:03, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok 👌🏻, and I didn't know that. Thank u 🙏🏻 for explaining it to me, and I can try to find reliable sources again. I’m really sry, and I won’t put unreliable sources bc I understand it’s poorly sourced. I was really upset 😔, and sad bc I wanted to find reliable sources. I read both articles about reliable sources, and verifiability one. Now I understand why I was blocked from editing her article, and infobox. So, I don’t put her birth date and age in the infobox when I find a reliable source? I thought I failed, and was a failure to looking for reliable sources.

Birth date and age and birth year

Hi, I recently put a reliable source for Ainsley Earhardt but they didn’t accept it bc it wasn’t reliable enough and I went to the dispute resolution noticeboard to see if they could fix this problem. I never had to have a WP:RS in the past for Ainsley Earhardt, and I can’t believe Wikipedia can’t put her actual birthday and age and birth year. It used to have her birthday, and age and birth year but now they took it off. I wanted her birthday, and age and birth year permanent but it won’t let me do that without a WP:RS. I found 2 reliable sources yesterday but they couldn’t accept it bc one of the articles didn’t have her birth year on it. It had her birthday, and I fact checked it to make sure it had her actual birthday and birth year. I’m really sry, and I was wondering if dispute resolution noticeboard can notice my problem. I wrote on their talk page bc someone suggested I do that, and instead of me editing Ainsley Earhardt’s infobox. Thank u 🙏🏻, and it would mean so much if Wikipedia had reliable sources for Ainsley Earhardt so they can put her actual birthday and birth year and age. I’m not trying to be mean to u guys, and or her article. I will stop editing her article until someone finds a reliable source for Ainsley Earhardt, and I couldn’t find any reliable sources but her Instagram had a post of her with bday balloons with a bday caption so I fact checked it to make sure it was September 20, 1976. Her age is now 47, and I made sure it was her actual age. Plz help me put any reliable source for her WP:RS , and I feel really bad 😔 bc I ruin everything I touch on Wikipedia. Dandielayla (talk) 20:19, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

See WP:DOB for details on the project policy regarding the printing of this information. Many consider a date of birth and similar to be private information, the dissemination of which can be harmful and lead to identity theft or invasion of privacy concerns. That is why high-quality sources are required. If you have to do this much digging to try to verify and infer a birth date for this person, perhaps that may be a clue for you that this information really isn't that important to include? Also, please consider ceasing the usage of emojis. People here will take you more seriously if the discourse is more professional and less OMG TikTok-ish. Zaathras (talk) 00:58, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok, and thank u. I figured out how to do the date of birth thing, and I put the birth year and then the birth month and birth day. (1976-09-20) September 20, 1976 Do I put WP:RS or WP:DOB, and I previewed it but didn’t publish it. I will cease on the emojis, and I’m really sry. I will also be professional, and more of an editor. Plz accept my apology, and should I do {{birth date and age 1976|9|20}} WP:RS or WP:DOB for Ainsley Earhardt? The red template indicates birth date and age, and is that the reliable source ur looking for? I think I know what was missing, and u guys were looking for this template {{birth date and age 1976|9|20}} Dandielayla (talk) 01:23, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

The perhaps that may be a clue for you that this information really isn't that important to include? part was a polite suggestion to just walk away and forget about this. Zaathras (talk) 04:40, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Oh ok, and awwwwwwww man 😔. I didn’t know that, and I can try to walk away from it. I’m really sry, and I won’t put the WP:RS part. Dandielayla (talk) 04:59, 24 September 2023 (UTC)
