Deleted reference[edit]

The reference which was deleted was not only inaccurate (giving her age at death as 85) it was also a dead link. No sources have cited lung cancer as cause of death. The cancer may have spread to her lungs, but the cause of death is based on where the cancer originated (in her case, colorectal), unless that is not ascertainable.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but every time I edit the personal information of my Aunt Alice Ghostley, it vanishes. I stand by my edit, and have photographs to prove it, plus family members were there as eyewitnesses. I feel it is important to know where my Aunt and Uncle are,and that they did not vanish into thin air after death. It is like knowing where someone's cemetery plot is...and here is where they are...and it is so romantic. They (their cremains) are both buried under the orange tree next to the end of the pool in the back yard of their home in North Hollywood, at 3800 Reklaw Drive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Namaste8180 (talkcontribs) 19:29, 1 July 2009 (UTC) Namaste8180 (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You probably shouldnt be editing an article about your aunt - it is likely a conflict of interest. Secondly, content in articles must be verifiable. In Wikipedia terms, that means that it must have been published in a reliables source, not based on family photos or your belief that it is "romantic". And finally, we are an encyclopedia, the content is not to be used as a place for you to memorialize your relatives. -- The Red Pen of Doom 00:01, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HOw much more verifiable can it be?! It was actually witnessed. What is the conflict? It is like saying Marily Monroe is buried at Roselawn,or wherever she is. People want to know where stars are buried. It is part of their history. What I wrote is no memorial, or conflict, or romantic story.It is fact. They are dead. They are buried in their back yard. This appeared in no tabloid or newspaper because only a handful of friends and family were there to witness it. I have read your rules and thisis clearly within them. It is fact, I verify it and can prove it, and it is what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Namaste8180 (talkcontribs) 03:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you re-read our policies because it is very clear that content must be cited to published and reliable sources and not be based on your personal experience /knowledge. -- The Red Pen of Doom 08:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Who is Marily Monroe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Captain Quirk (talkcontribs) 00:36, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from Felice Orlandi[edit]

What nonsense is that? Redirecting from the name of her husband to this article? Can anybody undo that? Kraxler (talk) 00:01, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing to "undo" since looking a history, that article has never been anything but a redirect page. However, you could write an article about him to replace the redirect. AUTiger » talk 21:59, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My Aunt Alice and Uncle Felice were together from the beginning until the end. He was also a screen writer and actor, and wrote several things for her...and was invaluable to her in the execution of her career. They lived, laughed, and loved together from day one. And I have many many photos to prove that,too!! Namaste8180 (talk) 19:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have thrid party sources that support your claims, feel free to show the sources here and ask a third party editor to include them in the article. Should there be sufficient third party content about your uncle, you can also request that a stand alone article about him be created. -- The Red Pen of Doom 00:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removing of Reference Tag[edit]

I added numerous references to the article and removed the "reference needed" tag from the top of the article. There is also a lot of information about her career that is missing like some of her most recent roles and maybe even a list of the 30+ movies that she has appeared in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CaseTrains (talkcontribs) 17:52, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
