[edit] Her name
California birth records list her name as "Tina Marie Majorino", not Albertina. Does anyone have a really, really, really good source that contradicts that? Mad Jack 16:50, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Several fansites give her name as Albertina Marie:
Tina Majorino Online
Tina Majorino Fan Site
Tina Majorino Fansite
And there's a quotation (probably from Tina's brother Kevin) explaining the meaning of "AM Project" on Tina Majorino Online's AM Project page:
GagHalfrunt 17:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)The band name: "In the studio there wasn't a name established yet so the producer called it "The Project" just for fun because we had no name. Originally the music was written as a test to see how Tina's vocals would work. Tina's been singing since she was a baby but it was always opera or other people's work, she hadn't written any of her own stuff. So when we went into the studio to see how her vocals would be it was really her first time doing any original work where she actually got to write. We just added the "AM" for her initials."
- We can't really trust fansites, most are unreliable. You can check out the California birth log here [1]. Birth certificates always list the full name of the person. Maybe "Albertina" is kind of her "unofficial" name among family members, but legally she is "Tina"? Mad Jack 19:30, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- Children with unusual names are liable to be teased at school, so perhaps her parents thought it was best not to make Albertina her legal name. GagHalfrunt 21:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
- That may well be it. Mad Jack 21:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Andrefilm.jpg
Image:Andrefilm.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
