[edit]

I removed Sean Penn from the See Also section. Please do not vandalize the article with political attacks on people such as him. --Revolución hablar ver 16:16, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He is scum and little different from Mildred Gillars so it should stay there along with other traitors such as Vanessa Redgrave. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.18.58.55 (talk) 00:36, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This sounds like a stupid statement:

Gillars didn't know it at the time, but American authorities had gotten wind of her broadcasts.

Of course they had "gotten wind of her broadcasts", she was publicly broadcasting! What is this sentence supposed to mean? 70.20.153.165 (talk) 13:29, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

yes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.2.231.100 (talk) 08:12, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

'Entertainment career' (and previously "Show business') replaced as too narrow a heading by 'Biography'. Neither of these headings accounts for Gillar's employment as an artist's model, dressmaker's assistant or teacher of English. Also this article now reads as something worthy of Perez Hilton himself and the gossipy style is not in keeping with the seriousness of the theme. Mekonite (talk) 01:02, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Last Broadcast[edit]

Any info on how she could possibly do her last broadcast from Berlin on the 6th of May, when Berlin had surrendered to the Russians on the night of 2nd/3rd May, with the "Haus des Rundfunks" (the Central Broadcasting Building) being officially captured on the 2nd of May? Did the Russinas allow her to continue broadcasting? 213.61.58.164 (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proliferate ?[edit]

Perhaps you mean 'disseminate'. 121.44.175.17 (talk) 08:12, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Two minds with a single thought! I corrected this before I read your suggestion. Valetude (talk) 23:47, 22 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
