Notability as film editor in question[edit]

So the discussion about deleting this article settled on "keep", which is fine with me. But I cannot see that Gladys Pearl Baker deserves the introduction "was an American film editor" and the accompanying categories. I know of no relevant film she edited, and not a single one is mentioned on her IMDb page. The text says she worked as a "film negative cutter" – which is not the same as a film editor. Negative cutters had zero creative input into the film; they simply followed the instructions given to them by directors, producers and editors. So that would not give her any notability. Until a significant film that she edited herself is pointed out with citation, I suggest removing the misleading introduction and the categories. --Sprachraum (talk) 06:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to TrueHeartSusie3 for following through on this so quickly. --Sprachraum (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Time-lines[edit]

https://www.cursumperficio.net/FicheAB3.html .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC) This book <https://archive.org/details/secretlifeofmari00tara> says she was born in 1900. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I don't know the procedure. Should I just change it? TheDudetteDude (talk) 04:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking first. This isn't a reliable source. Let me look into this a bit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I found in the 1910 census that she was eight years old in 1910. I added that to the note about her year of birth here that the census shows she was born in 1902.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Melson[edit]

I reverted this edit and clarified in the article that:

Melson cared for Grace until Marilyn's death
Was the administratrix of Marilyn's estate after her death

from Vanity Fair article. If you have differing information, what is your reliable source?–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
