Start classification[edit]

I have classified this article as a start. It needs a bit of work on presentation and sourcing needs to be improved. A picture and an infobox would be useful. Capitalistroadster 23:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright violation[edit]

Someone needs to rewrite the entire article. Almost all of the biographical information up to her death is copied directly from Billy Graham's website.[1] Usually I delete all copied material from such an article, but that would leave almost nothing, and out of respect for Mrs. Graham, I have left it alone for now.

I didn't think much of the excessive quotation either. I also think the section on her passing should not overshadow her life's work. Rklawton 01:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Biography section at present is all copyvio (as well as unsourced). I'm going to restore a previous version until we can sort this out. Rklawton 02:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten the article adding sources mainly obituaries. Capitalistroadster 11:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Also, awkward paragraph listing her works at beginning of article needs to be removed. This function is served by bibliography section toward end. Uninitiated observer 8/5/10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.48.112.158 (talk) 18:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
