Thank you. But administrators must also follow the policies. Now, Gwen changed or deleted too many of my editspure and simple. I mean, where does she get off saying the police surmised Peg died on Sept 18? What's her source? She have the police report? I do! The police surmised no such thing! The death certificatenot my original researchsays ""Date of Suicide September 16,"" as does the police report, Coroners Report, and Inquest. The date of death given as September 18, 1932, is because that was when she was DECLARED DEAD by the coroner. If the coroner had not examined the body for another hour and eleven minutes, Peg's death date would have been recorded as September 19, for he would have declared her dead at 12:01 AM, yet the date of suicide would remain September 16, for the coroner knew the rate of decay. That was the way it was done in 1930s Los Angeles....The coroner knew what he was doingGwen didn't. I have official documents provided to me by the City of Los Angeles, yet Gwen would rather what? Use a newspaper as a more verifiable source than these, or just pick one section of the death certificate without reading the entire document? Has she even read it? All of it? Why am I even having this discussion?

As it stands now, the article contains a good deal of ambiguity, whereas before it had very little. And once again, I raise the concern that the article was argued over, discussed, and a concensus agreed to by numerous long-time editors such as Rossrs and Wildhartlivie, and, if I remember, Pinkadelic. At any rate, the article stood on its legs for many months before Gwen brought the hatchet. I care about Wikipedia, too, and I am concerned about unverifiable entries making their way into any article. I fully remember when Wiki was the laughing stock of the Internet and scholarship in general. Did you see how many pages Gwen used up in the ""View History"" and then had the nerve, the gall, to tell me she ""tweaked"" it? She didn't tweak it, she rewrote the damn thing. And would it not have been a polite courtesy to first talk over all the edits? This, more than anything, is why there are so many ill feelings between contributors on Wiki. Too many are simply too head strong to think, ""Wait a sec, so and so has obviously done a lot of work here, maybe I should talk some things over with him  to reach a concensus and make a better article."" That's what a professional editor would dothat's what my book editor does with me...and isn't that what Britannica and all other encyclopedia editors do?  "
