Sources edit

I will undertake the task of adding citations to reliable secondary sources. I am optimistic because some of the sources I've located are listed in the "Sources" section already. I'll try to link to specific sentences in the article. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 17:34, 12 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Birth edit

Sources reviewed include the 1920 Federal Census, Florida Death Index, Social Security records, US Public Records Index, grave marker and her obituary in the Tallahassee Democrat. These show a variety of birth years (4 August 1917, 4 August 1918 and 4 August 1919), birth surnames (Pippin vs. Pippins), and birth place (Jacksonville in Social Security records, Blountstown in her obituary). It's anyone's guess which is accurate. I chose the data contained in the Social Security Applications and Claims Index for 1936-2007 because it gives her parents' full names, which may be useful for further research if anyone decides to pursue this.

Citations and rewrite complete edit

I have added citations to sources that I believe to be reliable. This led to an expansion and re-write of the text. I have not relied on the news stories listed under "See Also." Some were written by gossip columnists and could be something other than straight news stories. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 13:51, 20 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

TCM web site edit

I have removed statements that cited the Turner Classic Movies web site article "Death of Patricia Dane." The link did not work and a search of the site did not yield support for the statements. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 21:51, 29 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
