RITA Award Winner

In the Awards section it should say that Gabaldon won a RITA Award given by the Romance Writers of America in 1992. The award was "Best Romance of 1991" for Gabaldon's novel Outlander.

Name

If she didn't take her husband's name, as stated in the article, then why does the article start with stating her name as Diana Jean Gabaldon Watkins, as 'Watkins' clearly is her husband's name? Modallist (talk) 11:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Religious Beliefs

Gabaldon has stated she is a Roman Catholic on several occasions, e.g. here: ("I'm a practicing Roman Catholic".) http://januarymagazine.com/profiles/gabaldon.html and here.(" I’m a Roman Catholic and a Libertarian, but that’s as far as I’d go in description") http://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/nonfiction/interview-diana-gabaldon/

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 7 external links on Diana Gabaldon. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
