Talk:Wallis Simpson

|
Your biograqphy of Wallis is crap. She and the Duke had a daughter who is alive today, has six children and very almost a dozen grandchildren (at the last count). The daughter's life is extremely well documented both here and in the US. She is married to the great-nephew of a famous US wartime president and bears his name as her surname. Wallis herself was never a Nazi and received a presidential medal in recognition of her covert wartime work as well as her contribution to outing Nazis after 1945. The family are bringing out a biography of her in January 2004. It is full of photos of her with her family including her grandchildren, with whom she lived on and off in London, New York and elsewhere until her death in 1986 in Paris. Guy Trundle was never her lover. The slur on her character re branding her a Nazi was because she sued the Queen Mother in the High Court for harassment, defamation and slander and won massive damages in an out of court settlement. Likewise her daughter who also sued the Queen Mother, Princess Margaret and others and won after, her mother's death.
- Does anyone have any references for any of this?
- She also won the Nobel Peace Prize, is being considered for sainthood, and was deputy mission commander on Apollo 13. In other words, no, there's no references for that stuff because it's crap. RussBlau 21:37, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
- I note that the first paragraph above was inserted by someone using IP 194.202.96.100, which has been used occasionally by User:VampWillow. Just to try to unannonymize [such a word?] things. Too Old 23:27, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:14, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Wikipedia Convention re Names
Should this and other similar entry of famous people known by other names than their birth names be changed? Should she be listed under "Wallis Warfield"? I know, given the many entries, this would be a difficult task but was just wondering. Mowens35 18:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Article moved
I have moved this article to Wallis Simpson. This is the name by which she is far better known, not only does the article say so but also the vast majority of articles link to this title rather than Wallis Warfield. Also, as much as I do not like the method, the Google test supports my suggestion (8430 vs. 38300). Rje 01:42, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
