Grandee edit
i love the word myself, but - the purpose of an encyclopaedia article is to inform. does the use of words like this, which is probably unfamiliar to a large segment of the readership,(even of an article on so sophisticated a topic) contribute to that end?Toyokuni3 (talk) 17:31, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Removing what looks like unverifiable original research edit
I don't know who placed the following in this article. It is moving, right now, to this talk page pending verification from reliable secondary sources. At play here is Wikipedia:Blp Wikipedia:No original research Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest Skywriter (talk) 03:47, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
The Quinn family came from Ireland[citation needed] and are direct descendants of John Quinn, who came over as a stowaway on one of his father's ships, the Falcon in 1632.[citation needed] He was originally headed for Jamestown, but ended up shipwrecked on what is now Kent Island, Maryland.[citation needed] There were only two survivors of the wreck, young John Quinn who was sixteen at the time, and the ship's first mate; they were washed up on an oyster-shell beach.[citation needed] Her mother's family was originally from Wales; the progenitor of the family was Morgan ap William, who was a direct descendant from his fathers line, of Rhodri ap Tewdwr (Rhodri the Great, first king of Wales);[citation needed] he was also styled as King of the Britons[citation needed] in the Annals of Ulster.[citation needed] Morgans father was William ap Yevan of Wales,[citation needed] who married Joan Tudor, who was a first cousin[citation needed] to King Henry VII Tudor of England. The first Williams born in North America was Roger Williams,[citation needed] who was born December 15, 1625 in Old Rappahannock, Virginia;[citation needed] he married Joan Frith[citation needed] of Virginia. Rogers uncle was also Roger Williams, who was the founder Rhode Island.[citation needed]

Religion edit
Why is there no mention of Quinn's religion, nor any hint as to why she would make that subject her journalistic specialty? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.13.189.102 (talk) 08:01, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
Feel free to add it if you think it needs to be present. She reveals what she believes in a long, rambling article for which there is a link in this bio. The headline begins something like "What my son taught me..." Skywriter (talk) 19:27, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
