Untitled edit

Too much opinion. The arguments were "realistic" just because they were harsher? Not all arguments are harsh or very serious, nor do all couples argue the same "realistic" way. I deleted that sentence. Plus, it claims she was blacklisted when I've seen other sources say she didn't join the regular CBS show because she fell ill. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.57.121 (talk) 10:15, 1 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Explain why she was blacklisted edit

Blacklisting occurred for a variety of reasons. The article as presently constituted mentions twice or more that she was blacklisted, but doesn't explain anything more about it. Usually an article will explain that the person had voted in an election as a communist, joined the Communist Party, participated in activist causes, was gay, or whatever was the basis of blacklisting at the time. In addition to the tone issues already mentioned, which suffered heavily from the weight of personal opinion, this oversight needs to be fixed.

I second this. If it's significant enough to mention that she was blacklisted, then it is significant enough to add a section explaining why. Best regardsTheBaron0530 (talk) 12:50, 27 April 2020 (UTC)TheBaron0530Reply

Inconsistent Article comments on dropping of Kelton from the Honeymooners edit

Why was Kelton dropped from the Honeymooners. 3 alleged reasons are given. First that she had a heart condition, which is mentioned as a false reason. Then the 2nd at the start indicates she was black-listed, imply she was deemed communist or communist sympathizer. Then later the article implies she was too old for the part. Perhaps the way to get this straight is simply to state that 3 explanations have been given. And if no solid evidence is available, leave it at that. Wikipedia is not a gossip column.
