Death - Media Blackout
[edit]An anonymous edit from 50.244.131.50 on 11 July 2023 adds a paragraph to the foot of this section; it's unreferenced, and doesn't come across as at all neutral in tone:
In absence of any explanation, many surmised that Locke must have requested the blackout in her final wishes, perhaps to keep her true age under wraps. It's deducible, given Locke's vanity and history of deceiving the public, that she coordinated with end-of-life caregivers, mortuary staff, et cetera, to ensure news of her own death would be suppressed as much as possible. The delay itself was and is unprecedented.[a]
The same edit adds the factoid that she lied about dyeing her hair, and updates some references.
50.244.131.50 is a comcastbusiness.net IP address, and the few other edits from this address all relate to Clint Eastwood films, so it looks like the editor may be promoting their personal views or biases. 203.16.208.50 (talk) 01:51, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
- Regardless of who added that or their motivations, it is uncited analysis and WEASEL. I removed it. DMacks (talk) 02:05, 15 October 2023 (UTC)
In this section, there is a quote from the New York Times: "A list of survivors was not immediately [sic] available."
Why is there a [sic] added? The grammar and spelling appear to be fine. 76.106.165.149 (talk) 18:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- Because the death notice came out 41 days after Locke's death and the NY Times said "immediately"... It's kind of an ironic "sic", as if the article is saying "well, DUH." as to the term 'immediately'. Shearonink (talk) 19:59, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
