Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream

Shonda Rhimes is currently listed as the director of Hank Aaron: Chasing the Dream in her filmography section, but she is not in fact the director of the movie, but rather was the research director of the documentary. Listing her as the director is misleading and confusing and should be changed. I think the fact that she's previously noted as being the research director for the film previously in the article should suffice. The part in the filmography section which credits her as the director should be changed and we can just leave in that she was in fact the research director but not the actual director of the documentary.

edit the page to add 3 daughters names!

why is this page locked? i want to edit to add her daughters names. shonda released the names in press releases. they are named for famous authors. shonda is also on a book tour and talks about her kid so the names can be here!

It's locked because of persistent vandalism. Her children's names are not on the page because they are minor children not notable in their own right and have a right to privacy. Librarynerds (talk) 00:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In the mobile version of Wikipedia (native app), the one line summary of the article has blatant vandalism: "American screenwriter, director, producer and **life ruiner**". I have no idea of the place where this summary is written, and thus cannot be more specific. Please fix this, as it is particularly obvious and unseemly.

Bibliography

I have commenced a Bibliography section using cite templates. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.

Queen Charlotte. I never write to writer/producer. However, I finished the Queen Charlotte series and it touched me deeply! I think this is your most extraordinary series. I can not think of words to describe how the last episode touched me, I cried, I laugh and just fell in love with your characters. Thank you!
