Incorrect link[edit]

I think I am what I am link is wrong, it should have a disambiguation page. --81.203.33.185 21:28, 31 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes the link is wrong Crewcut

[unsigned comment by user:203.145.173.2, 12:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)][reply]

Is "Crewcut" intended as a sig? It links to an article about the hairstyle in the present form. rags (talk 10:19, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bias?[edit]

i think the line saying 'ridiculous' backlash against disco should be rewritten. It may very well have been ridiculous, but this is an opinion not a fact, at least the way it is written (not cited).

biography[edit]

nothing about her personal life? [unsigned comment by user:190.16.43.22;, 23:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)][reply]

A decade has passed, and still nothing. I wonder particularly if 'Gaynor' is her married name, and if not, why did she choose it. An autobio seems to exist, tho I have not seen it. Any help? This seems a very low-traffic page for a talented and still popular performer. The article is, imo, relatively well-written, though almost without sourcing. rags (talk) 11:10, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up[edit]

I was listening to a greatest hits album of her music, and decided to clean up a few of the artists on her albums. I like her, but I'm no expert on her, so forgive me for mistakes I made. I tried to make the articles more NPOV, removing biased terms like "highlight tracks include", but my editing skills are limited, and even with my editing, some of the articles still need serious clean up.

Birth year[edit]

For much of her career, her birth date was listed as 1949 however it seems that more sources are saying 1943. Which one is it? 2600:100C:A210:2BB2:5DD0:D7A:950C:8C4A (talk) 23:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
