Diane Webber[edit]

Regarding your edit to the Diane Webber article, I can't find any reliable source which states clearly one way or the other in what order her names should appear. Given that the article is titled "Diane Webber", I have reverted the text back to the "Diane first" version. If you can cite a reliable source for her name, that would be an excellent addition to the article especially since the article is lacking references. Thanks and again, welcome to Wikipedia, Dismas|^(talk) 02:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By SSDI, I assume you mean Social Security Death Index? Searching at their site keeps coming up with nothing found. Could you provide a link to her record or give me the search parameters that you used to find her records? Dismas|^(talk) 03:59, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've cited the page and corrected the info according to it. Dismas|^(talk) 05:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you suggesting that editors should order a copy of every death certificate for every deceased person's article that they work on? We all do this as a volunteer effort. Buying copies of public records could run into serious money.

Additionally, you sound like you knew her or her family. I should point out WP:OR and WP:AUTO. Basically, just because you say so, doesn't mean that we can cite you as a reliable source. After all, on the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog.

And finally, you don't need to start a new section on my talk page every time you reply. If you click on "edit this page" at the top of this page, you'll see that I'm indenting my comments with colons to keep the replies separate. Thanks, Dismas|^(talk) 06:24, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If I remember, I'll check my back issues of Playboy sometime this week and see if they mention a cause of death. They sometimes list Playmate news items and I wouldn't be surprised if Webber's death is mentioned. That would be easier to cite. Dismas|^(talk) 07:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestion sounds fine to me. As for the uncited change... Her article is likely not on a lot of people's watchlists and could have been missed. I know that from my own view point, I have every Playmate on my watchlist plus hundreds more articles. It's not inconceivable that an edit or two could slip by in a day.
