Patrick started her professional career in 1990 as a dancer at [[Kings Island]] theme park in [[Mason, Ohio]] in the show ''“It’s Magic”'' it was one of more popular show in the parks history. <ref>[http://www.visitkingsisland.com/events/event_detail.cfm?event_id=512&ec_id=15 Kings Island website - Event page: Labor Day Weekend - Carmen Electra]</ref>
She moved to California in 1994, where she met [[Prince (musician)|Prince]] while auditioning for an all-girl rap group. Prince persuaded her to change her name to Carmen Electra and instead record a solo album. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince's company [[Paisley Park Records]], marking the start of a short-lived singing career.


In 1995, Electra started appearing in various television programs. Then, in May 1996 she was featured in a nude pictorial in ''[[Playboy]]'' magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including ''[[Baywatch]]'' (cast member from 1997-1998) and [[MTV]]'s ''[[Singled Out]]''. She returned to ''[[Baywatch]]'' for the 2003 reunion movie, ''[[Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding]]''.
I'll reply here or on your talk page, so keep an eye on both. However, I will ''never'' reply via email, unless I know you personally.


Electra became so popular among readers of Playboy that she was featured in the magazine three more times, with her second appearance in June 1997. She subsequently graced the cover twice, in December 2000 and April 2003. In the [[Playboy Cyber Club]], she was the first woman invited to be a [[List of Playboy Cyber Club celebrity photographers|celebrity guest photographer]]; she chose Playmate [[Jennifer Walcott]] as her subject model.

===Other work===

G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney|this page]] (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Australia/Incorporation here]). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).


Released in January 2008, the ''[http://www.moocowstores.com/items/polekits/118 Electra-Pole]'' is a pole dancing kit inspired and endorsed by Carmen Electra that users can assemble in their home in 5-minutes. Suitable for all levels of dancer from beginners to professionals, it is stable enough to support any pole dancing move, including flips and inverts.
If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Sydney#Future_meetings:_to_be_arranged...|head over here]] and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, [[User:Privatemusings|Privatemusings]] ([[User talk:Privatemusings|talk]]) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


''Embrace'' is a [[comic book]] putatively written by Electra for London Night Studios. "Glam Slam Ulysses" Interactive Musical Theatrical Production,” conceived by Prince, choreographed by Jamie King. Debuted at Prince's legendary Glam Slam L.A. nightclub.

Electra also appeared in commercials for ''[[Maxim Magazine|Maxim]]'' Men's Hair Color products (2004-2005) and Taco Bell (2006-2007).
Hi there Enoch!


She also appeared in an episode of "[[House (TV series)|House]]" where she portrayed an injured golfer and an injured farmer, playing out House's fantasy.
A university class I've been trying to convince to get involved in using WP in their class has today agreed to do so. In the class they rewrote the text of [[Nationalism#Religious_nationalism|Religious Nationalism]]. I was wondering if you could have a look at it and edit it mercilessly (as the saying goes). Perhaps if you could convince others to get in on the act too that would be great.


==Personal life==
Here is the diff of the edit they made [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nationalism&diff=prev&oldid=207569644].
Electra's first rock and pop star relationship was with [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], though the relationship was short lived. Electra was previously romantically involved with rap star [[B-Real]] of [[Cypress Hill]] from 1995 to 1998. It was revealed when B-Real and Electra were both on [[The Howard Stern Show]] that B-Real had bought her [[breast implants]].


Electra achieved publicity during her on-again, off-again marriage to basketball star [[Dennis Rodman]] from 1998 to 1999. The wedding to Rodman took place at [[Little Chapel of the Flowers]] in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]]. Later, she had a brief affair with [[Tommy Lee]], the ex-husband of [[Pamela Anderson]].
Thanks for your help,


On November 22, 2003, Electra married [[Dave Navarro]], former lead guitarist for the rock bands [[Jane's Addiction]] and [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]]. The couple documented their courtship and marriage in an [[MTV]] [[celebrity]] [[reality]] show called '''Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen & Dave''.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/til-death-do-us-part-carmen-+-connor/show/24055/summary.html Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen + Dave TV Show - Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen + Dave Television Show - TV.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> On July 17, 2006, she and Navarro announced their separation. Their rep confirmed their separation to [[Star Magazine]]. Electra filed for divorce on August 10. It was finalized on February 20, 2007.<ref>[http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20012334,00.html Carmen Electra & Dave Navarro: It's Officially Over - Divorced, Carmen Electra, Dave Navarro : People.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.tmz.com/2006/08/10/carmen-electra-files-for-divorce/ Carmen Electra Files for Divorce]</ref>

In 2006, Electra stated that when she was eight years old she had a "little girl crush" on [[Joan Jett]]. In 2007, tabloid sources linked the two of them together romantically.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2007130578,00.html|title=Baywatch babe 'a lesbian'|accessdate=2007-05-06|author=Gary O'Shea|date=[[2007-03-23]]|publisher=The Sun Online}}</ref> However, Electra's spokeswoman has insisted "They are just friends."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://64.90.166.24/carmen_electra_not_a_lesbian|title=Carmen not dating a lady|accessdate=2007-05-17|author=Noel Hancock|date=[[2007-03-23]]|publisher=US Magazine}}</ref> In June 2007, talk show host [[Jimmy Kimmel]] asked Electra if her relationship with Jett was romantic. Electra stated, "We're just friends". She went on to say that she collects tabloid articles that suggest she and Jett are dating because she is a fan of Jett and finds them amusing as well. Carmen is currently dating [[Rob Patterson]] current live guitarist for [[KoRn]]. She recently got an "R" tattoo behind her ear.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tmz.com/2008/03/18/nothing-says-love-like-fresh-ink-and-a-needle/|title=Nothing Says Love Like Fresh Ink and a Needle|publisher=[[TMZ.com]]|accessdate=2008-03-18}}</ref>

It is confirmed that Rob and Carmen are now engaged.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20195106,00.html/|title=Carmen Electra Engaged to Rob Patterson|publisher=[[people.com]]|accessdate=2008-04-24}}</ref>

==Deleting images on Commons but not replacing them==
* ''[[Singled Out]]'' (host in 1997)
I noticed that you [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Burgesplan.jpg deleted] an image that apparently is also on Commons but did not change the link in the [[Trinity College (Connecticut)|article]] that uses the image. Is this a common occurrence? Do administrators typically delete images from Wikipedia because there is a copy on Commons without replacing the actual links in the articles? --[[User:ElKevbo|ElKevbo]] ([[User talk:ElKevbo|talk]]) 15:12, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
* ''[[Loveline]]'' (host in 1997)
: I deleted that a year ago. I don't remember this image in particular, but based on the deletion reason I entered, I suspect that at the time that I deleted it, there was an exact replica of that image on Commons with the same name - in which case, yes, admins on the English Wikipedia will delete the local version, because the image link will still work (if a local image is not found, it will look on the Commons for a file of the same name). However, this image was deleted on the Commons recently [http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=Image:Burgesplan.jpg], because it was not tagged correctly. It appears that this image was a PD-old image, so I'm happy to restore the local version on the English Wikipedia if you like - not sure why it wasn't tagged correctly on the Commons (I'm not an admin there, can't see deleted edit history).

[[cs:Carmen Electra]]
Greetings, Enochlau. You have probably not noticed, but I have been regularly making minor edits to articles of the ''[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost|Wikipedia Signpost]]'' for at least a month; in your case, I have mostly spend these on converting the hyphens between the external links and their descriptions to en dashes. The latter are much more suitable for this usage, and constitute an aesthetic improvement over hyphens—the [[WP:DASH|style guidelines]] seem to agree with this view. Although I do not really mind continuing making these minor adjustments (and increasing my edit count in the process), it has finally dawned on me that it would be best to simply go to the source and see what the author thinks. At least I get to know if you agree with my changes (in which case I trust that you will take them up yourself) or disagree (in which case I should leave the hyphens be). In any event, that will be one thing less to worry about. [[User:The Duke of Waltham|Waltham]], <small>[[User talk:The Duke of Waltham|''The Duke of'']]</small> 03:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

==Your deletion of [[Mack McLarty]]==
[[sr:Кармен Електра]]
Was this deletion a mistake? I noticed you deleted the page as G8, but it was not a talk page so that obviously wouldn't apply. The person is definitely notable as a past White House Chief of Staff, and surely deserves a page. I'll be restoring the page as a presumably mistaken deletion if I don't hear from you within 24 hours. Thanks, [[User:VegaDark|VegaDark]] ([[User talk:VegaDark|talk]]) 05:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

== Your bad English—deal with it or don't write high-profile pieces ==

Look, don't write those right-ups if your English is so bad, or if you can't be bothered properly reviewing them before hitting the button. Sorry to be blunt, but it was very sloppy—embarrassingly so—and remains embarrassing since your friend Taxman (never the best writer despite his self-perception as such) has blundered in and reverted my inline queries without dealing with them. I'm not going to baby-sit what you write: I've pointed out the problems, and you're quite satisfied in leaving the crap in there for all to read. It's such a bad advertisement, for you and for the project.

:: No, the rest was wanting. "... whether "it's fit for purpose, the context, the relevance, whether there's an alternative view"" was pretty bad, and discredits that organisation through its illiterate use of the language.

==Your deletion of [[Developer 2.0]]==
Was this deletion a mistake? I was writing this page to outline which is the principle of Developer 2.0 in an Enterprise Context. I don't really mind why it is blatant: advertising when: I'm writing about principles... without making reference to business. Is it maybe to the references lists. Well that's my blog too, and if you think it is advertising, ok (just remove it). To me, it's only a set of dump idea I wrote around the web and if you're thinking it's offending I would remove it. Can you resume that page without references? Developer 2.0 is an emerging idea, and what I've written is valuable (at least for me). <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Fmondora|Fmondora]] ([[User talk:Fmondora|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fmondora|contribs]]) 04:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I'm worried how about your deletion is democratic, and how the way you do things is collaborative making spirit of writing on wikipedia when:
- I wrote an article about principles there;
- You deleted it without informing me
- I've asked you different days ago
- You've never replied

Is it democratic? Is it the base principle of Wikipedia!

I don't think so, and I believe something wrong has happened because it's unbelievable watching how you're using your power of judging only because you're a moderator.

I'm sure it's the last time I'm writing on wikipedia... <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Fmondora|Fmondora]] ([[User talk:Fmondora|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fmondora|contribs]]) 05:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

: Sorry for the delay in replying - I have been busy in real life. The article as deleted read like a promotion, looking at the tone and the lack of emphasis on ''what it is'' as opposed to ''why it is great''. The three links to your blog didn't help either. If you believe that this is a legitimate concept that deserves a place on Wikipedia, I encourage you to rewrite it, focusing on especially on these issues: verification ([[WP:VERIFY]]), especially with finding references that come from a variety of reputable sources, and tone ([[WP:TONE]], [[WP:Spam#How_not_to_be_a_spammer]]). For the record, two other users expressed their concerns with the article before I deleted the article. [[User:Enochlau|enochlau]] ([[User talk:Enochlau|talk]]) 06:49, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

:: I don't like how the conversation is going and your judgment until people can read only your judgement and not my tones... It is still not democratic! Maybe it is a good strategy for driving people to different business target. By the way, I want my content back because its mine. I think it was a better policy to help authors growing in writing their ideas instead of deleting. I'm really afraid to see how a public service like wikipedia is not so public and how the only thing will remain public is your judgment without any evidence. Can you send back me by email my deleted content?

::: Sorry to break the news to you, but [[Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_democracy|Wikipedia is not a democracy]]. Regardless, given the borderline nature of this case, I have restored the content of [[Developer 2.0]], and added tags that represent what I believe to be problems with the article as it stands. Please try and rectify the problems to the best of your ability, and please request assistance from other users familiar with enterprise software principles to help you understand how to write your article. If the article still reads like an advertisement in a few days' time, the article may be considered for deletion again (by me or others).

==Deletion of [[Baunt]]==
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Baunt This] shows you deleted the redirect to the [[Bount]] page. First off, mispelling it with 'a' instead of 'o' is a plausible mistake. It is not an implausible typo or mosnomer. There is discussion on the talk page of the article [[Talk:Bount#Transylvanian_connection.3F|here]] by [[User:Dekimasu|Dekimasu]] as to the alternative spelling based on the German references of the clan. 'Baunto' is listed on the page and it is unclear as to whether adding the 'o' is a way to pluralize it for the entire clan, meaning Baunt could refer to a single individual. I do not see the harm in redirecting [[Baunt]] there, could it be restored? [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 14:03, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

You could have had the decency to wait for an answer from me before proceeding with the speedy deletion. I, unlike you, can't imagine why you want to delete an article about a useful piece of software. Maybe an article about it could make it notable.
BTW, you probably will want to delete also the article about [[Moji extension]] I also wrote (sarcasm).

My apologies: it wasn't you who added the template.

: Yes, I didn't delete it, nor tag it the second time. But as deleted, you still hadn't addressed the problem of notability. Notability of a subject is a ''precondition'' for an article; so "Maybe an article about it could make it notable" doesn't make sense.

== Use of your photo ==

Hi Enoch,

I used one of your images as an album cover for a performance by five guitarists who use electronics in various combinations. The performance was staged on August 2, 2008 at The Nave Gallery, so being clever, they called themselves "Five Knaves at The Nave." Your image was not so much altered as simply "framed." with some text. You can find the cover art and performance at: http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/32210 . I credited your image in the text with the following:

== About your photo of an orrery ==

Hi Enoch,

I'm a science teacher in secondery school (12 to 17 years old) in Montreal, Canada .I am about doing a project on the orrery. I'm searching orreries that I can see the mechanisms and that I can unsettle easily, but they are really hard to find. I saw your photo of an orrery on wikipedia and it is exactly what I need. I was wandering if you could tell me where I can find one of those. If I can't get one from here (Montreal), could you send me one (of course I would give you the money necessary to send it)?

Here's my e-mail : profguillaume@gmail.com

Thanks!
