On 26 February 2025, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Jerry Butler, which you updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page. Stephen 23:00, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Laura Barton is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Laura Barton until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hello, someone using your name and Wikipedia profile approached my company offering to secure our page with an editing lock for a fee. Are you the individual we're speaking to? Thank you. Steve.iska (talk) 18:06, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking of this, thought I'd also let you know a Wikipedia article creation company recently claimed (off-wiki) that you were working for them (which is obviously not true). I suppose you could take that as a rather unfortunate compliment, that scammers companies are using you as a selling point. GoldRomean (talk) 04:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you are keeping well. I am looking a little deeper into this lady's history and see that Wikipedia has her born somewhere between 1885 and 1895. It appears that BARE favours 1888 - is that so ? It is just that most online stuff I have come across regularly states 1895, which would align with her moving to New York around the age of 20 (in 1915) and her dying in 1943 at the age of 48. Colin Larkin gives 1895 in his Guinness Who's Who of Blues. One online site is more specific, stating she was born on Sunday June 23, 1895 here. That source seems reliable on face value. I know you are not around much here these days and I do not want to tax you too much but, as ever, your thoughts are welcomed. I am a lttle worried too about Martin Evans' absence from Wiki for almost two weeks - maybe he is simply on holiday ? Cheers. - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 18:15, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The 1888 year in BARE apparently derives from her age being given as 52 in the 1940 US Census, although the writers note (in a footnote, p.527) that she was "reportedly born in Atlanta, 1895.". I think the reference that gives the date of June 23 is rather dubious - it says the date "is celebrated as" her birth date, but I believe that sites like that sometimes select a random date to "celebrate" someone's life when the exact date is unknown. So... we don't know! Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:34, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
