Having read well over a hundred artist profiles, I don't find this one any less neutral than the average write-up. It certainly would be helpful to know what is objectionable, that is, potentially in violation of [[WP:POV]]. These profiles are not critiques that require balanced pro and con presentations. They just shouldn't be overly glowing and thereby nothing more than puff pieces. I'll scour the article for non-neutral language. Meanwhile, the only major issue here is the lack of citations.

:I've read the entire article and find nothing in particular that needs to be changed. In fact, it's a fairly decent account of the artist's career, meaning objective, even-handed and apparently complete. Since nobody at all has chimed in with a complaint, I believe it's fair to remove the template. If anyone has an objection, feel free to restore it. Thanks.

Are not appropriate for wikipedia articles. This article needs a lot of work -- clearly she is a notable australian singer but this is written like the cruft-filled promotional effort of a non-notable person. Trying to get more "myspace" links into this article is not the way to improve it, believe me.

Infobox Photo
I realise that there has been disagreement to date over which photo to use in the infobox, and that there have been numerous conflicting revisions. I have had no part in these aside from uploading the initial publicity shot. The problem with the previous two images, as far as I see it, was that one was an unfamiliar promotional shot and the other was an out-of-focus, amatuer shot.
Now that there is a brand new publicity shot available - one that has been widely distributed as the most current photograph of the artist - I hope that we can use it to solve our dilemma. bobbo 16:35, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I've uploaded a recent concert picture. [1] Could do in lieu of anything better. Trikeabout (talk) 13:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Blasko needs a photo, her article looks "stingy" without one, can't we use a publicity shot? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.255.2.155 (talk) 02:43, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Stupid Comment
Sarah Blasko is HOT Any credible sources to back that up? ;)
Covers
Anyone know of any other covers she's done? i added Gooodbye Yellow Brick road Hallelujah.
I have conferred with artist management and there is no record of Sarah ever performing 'Hallelujah'. Where did you get this information?
- As far as I'm concerned I'll take your word for it. One thing I should point out is that material in Wikipedia should not only be true, but verifiably so by already having been published in a reliable source somewhere else. So, for instance, if you happen to know from personal contact with Sarah that hasn't been disclosed publicly (say, hypothetically, that Sarah gets very nervous before appearing on stage), we can't really add it in without it having being published elsewhere (say, on her personal website, or in a newspaper or magazine article). But that also means that if you see something in the article you believe is wrong that is unreferenced, feel free to remove that material.

Fair use rationale for Image:Flametreesblasko.jpg
Image:Flametreesblasko.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:48, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
