[edit] Sexuality

Is this woman really bisexual? She's in the category, but nothing in the article supports it.

Sophie8936 18:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC)She dated her bandmate, Carrie Brownstein. So, yes she is.

I always thought she was a lesbian... who married a man. Does that then make her bisexual, I don't know. But then again, I've never heard her label herself, so I'm unsure. --xsarahberries 05:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Section

The entire Trivia section of this article appears to be a copyright violation, cut and paste from this website:

• http://owsk.ms11.net/corinbio.html

Does anyone know the original source of the trivia that appears on this link?

Kat 10:13, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the trivia section, as it appears to have been cut and pasted from the above listed site and that would make it a copyright violation.

[edit] Use of first name in article

My edits stating that you don't use people's first names in encyclopedia articles was reverted with the statement "not in cases like these". And what sort of case is this? And can you cite a Wikipedia policy for that? Please note that there are several other places in the article in which she is referred to as "Tucker", so whichever way this article goes, that needs to be made consistent. The only reason she should need to be referred to as Corin is if there were another person mentioned in the article named Tucker and it needed to be made clear about which one was being talked about.

[edit] Photo

There's a free (not copyrighted) photo used in the article. I'm removing the non-free one that's in the infobox now and replacing it with the free one. Forward to goal of making wikipedia truely free. Zytsef (talk) 22:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
