This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Stephen Foley (2009-02-03). "Is Wikipedia cracking up?". The Independent.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report 4 times. The weeks in which this happened: December 6 to 12, 2015 November 27 to December 3, 2016 February 10 to 16, 2019 November 19 to 25, 2023

I read the article cited for the line "Parton says that she is a committed Christian, which has influenced many of her musical releases." However, nowhere in the article does she say she is a committed Christian. In fact, her religious views in that 2022 article parallel her statements in the New Humanist article from the next paragraph. I suggest removing the line saying that she is a "committed Christian", as the source does not say anything of the kind. Johnd39 (talk) 04:38, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
