 Unfortunately, I believe that an incorrect statement about Karen Black that was posted on Wikipedia prior to her death has been copied by several major websites and been reported as fact. 

 This is in regards to Black's first marriage. 

 All online sources published or updated prior to her death say that she married Charles Black in 1960, with no year of divorce given. 

 But all of the very recent ones published after her death say she was married to him from 1955-1962. 

 When Black died, I started reading up on her and found this conflict of dates fishy. So I looked up the Wikipedia revision history. 

 Here is the original edit where the years given for this marriage was changed from Charles Black (married 1960–?) to Charles Black (married 1955–?). 

 That edit was made in 2009. The individual who made the change was only active on Wiki for a short time and only edited Black's page. Based on the edits this individual made, I am inclined to believe that the editor had inside knowledge and was correct. (That's just my opinion, I have no way of knowing.) 

 Here's where I come in. I remember visiting Black's Wiki article in 2009 and noticing the conflict - IMDb said she was married in 1960, but Wiki said she was married in 1955. No year of divorce was given. I have an IMDb account and edited Black's marriage details on her IMDb page. IMDb had said she was married to Charles Black from 1960 - ?. I not only changed the year of marriage to 1955, but I also added a divorce year of 1962, based purely on a guess! (It was a very unprofessional, unencyclopedic, bad thing to do, but to me it was just play). This is where I feel guilty. There was no source whatsoever that said the Blacks divorced in 1962, I just made up a year because for some reason I didn't want to leave the divorce box blank. So I feel responsible for all the major websites reporting an error, because I came up with the 1962 year out of nowhere, and typed it in the divorce box in her marriage details section on IMDb ... then Wiki copied it, then when she died every website copied Wiki! 

 By 2010, someone had changed Wiki's information for Black's first marriage from 1955-? to 1955 to 1962 and given the unreliable IMDb trivia page (where I had inserted those years) as the source.  

 As of this writing, the Wiki article still says she was married to him from 1955 to 1962. But IMDb is no longer the source being used, TCM.com is. The problem is that TCM says she was married in 1960 and thus contradicts the statement that Wikipedia is citing it for! This should be fixed immediately. 1960 is the year that most sources said she was married the first time. 

 The horrible thing is that several major websites such as ETOnline reported that Black was married from 1955-1962 in the wake of her death. I believe that they just copied it off of Wikipedia! For that reason, I feel guilty that I contributed to a lie being spread on several sites. It is *not* known when she divorced Charles Black, and every website prior to the 2009 edit said she was married in 1960, not 1955. 

 Now, at first I felt responsible for lies regarding dates being copied onto several major websites. However, after doing some extensive research, I believe that Black actually was married in 1955 based on an article on her high school's official website which reads: “As far as I know, she was probably the first married woman that came to Jefferson High School,” said classmate Connie Lux, who graduated in 1957. 

 It has long been known that Black fumbled about her age over the years. Nearly all printed publications list her year of birth as 1942. And at one point I recall her official website saying she was born in 1945! But apparently she was born in 1939, as that is what most sites have said for years. 

 Anyway, I hope I have not confused you with this long message. I have contacted other editors about this in the past, but nothing came of it and I've been looking around articles to find a careful and meticulous editor who can fix this mess and reconstruct the page properly. Are you up to this? Someone should double-research this and make the correct correction to her Wiki page, perhaps something like "There is some ambiguity as to when Black married her first husband..."
