TheFamousPeople.com as a source

Hi Black BIC Ballpoint. I've been looking over the use of thefamouspeople.com as a source or link in Wikipedia. There have been concerns of it being spammed, and doesn't appear to be a reliable source per Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2017_May_29#The_Famous_People:_Reliable.3F. I noticed that you've added it, and wanted to let you know why I removed it. If you disagree, let's discuss it. Thanks. --Ronz (talk) 22:53, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Jeanette MacDonald, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Republican (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Patricia Ellis correct birthdate May 20, 1918

Hi Black BIC Ballpoint

Patricia Ellis's May 20, 1918 birthday is supported by a number of references including Ref. 7 (Ohio marriage certificate), the External Links reference to Patricia Ellis O'Brien, and the following reference to the 1920 US Census for Patricia O'Brien, daughter of Eugene and Florence O'Brien, Birmingham, Michigan:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9RX3-DVZ?i=9&wc=QZJ5-6MM%3A1036472001%2C1037373801%2C1039840001%2C1589335556%3Fcc%3D1488411&cc=1488411

Warner Brothers put her birthdate as May 20, 1916 to make her appear 2 years older than she actually was when she signed her first contract May 20, 1932, thus the error in the SSDI (social security death index) which copied her assumed birthdate for her Warner Brothers contract.

Pamela Kosh moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Pamela Kosh, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
