message: WikiProject Biography Assessment
With a couple references, it would be a B. Could use a lot more information, though.
The article may be improved by following the WikiProject Biography 11 easy steps to producing at least a B article. -- Yamara 03:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: It says she was married to Mr. Billy Dee Williams from 1957 to 1966, with 2 citations from Ancestry.com which can’t be accessed without a subscription to them. However, Williams’ Wikipedia article statesman he was married from 1959 to 1963 to a different woman and has no mention of Ms. Tyson. Ivan Zarco  (talk) 11:05, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this points to the major shortcoming of Ancestry, which is that it can be pointing to different people with the same names.  I have an Ancestry subscription and I'll try to look into that. Coretheapple (talk) 21:22, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
