Notability as film editor in question

[edit]

So the discussion about deleting this article settled on "keep", which is fine with me. But I cannot see that Gladys Pearl Baker deserves the introduction "was an American film editor" and the accompanying categories. I know of no relevant film she edited, and not a single one is mentioned on her IMDb page. The text says she worked as a "film negative cutter" – which is not the same as a film editor. Negative cutters had zero creative input into the film; they simply followed the instructions given to them by directors, producers and editors. So that would not give her any notability. Until a significant film that she edited herself is pointed out with citation, I suggest removing the misleading introduction and the categories. --Sprachraum (talk) 06:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to TrueHeartSusie3 for following through on this so quickly. --Sprachraum (talk) 21:51, 31 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Time-lines

[edit]

https://www.cursumperficio.net/FicheAB3.html .... 0mtwb9gd5wx (talk) 04:21, 23 August 2021 (UTC) This book <https://archive.org/details/secretlifeofmari00tara> says she was born in 1900. I'm new to editing Wikipedia, so I don't know the procedure. Should I just change it? TheDudetteDude (talk) 04:24, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for asking first. This isn't a reliable source. Let me look into this a bit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I found in the 1910 census that she was eight years old in 1910. I added that to the note about her year of birth here that the census shows she was born in 1902.–CaroleHenson (talk) 22:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Melson

[edit]

I reverted this edit and clarified in the article that:

  • Melson cared for Grace until Marilyn's death
  • Was the administratrix of Marilyn's estate after her death

from Vanity Fair article. If you have differing information, what is your reliable source?–CaroleHenson (talk) 01:04, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
