Affair edit

Latest comment: 6 months ago4 comments4 people in discussion

It is well known that Dr. Seuss cheated on his first wife while she was dying of cancer with their family friend and his later wife. Her suicide can likely be attributed to this affair. This should not be omitted from his page. Talk Aug 29, 2021

And? -Stiabhna (talk) 20:46, 17 December 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes it should be omitted, unless you can cite a reliable source (WP:RS). Wikipedia doesn’t go by what is “well known” or “likely”, but by what can be documented in a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.255.97.2 (talk) 01:47, 24 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

I've added it back it. Looks like it was mistakenly deleted in this edit. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)^[ᴛ] 09:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

It well known and documented. Their are numerous articles he admitted it publicly. This article is extremely bias.

Biased. Even if it were true and well documented, this is not (or only sometimes) the National Enquirer or whatever. Seuss miss-pronounced (?): just heard on a podcast, his mom thought of Zeus.--Ralfdetlef (talk) 14:06, 14 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
