Talk:Betty Skelton

message: An earlier version said:
:Married to Don Frankman, she now resides in Winter Haven, Florida.
Later it was changed to read:
:Married to Allan Erde, she now resides in Vero Beach, Florida.
Which is it? I can find no evidence that she ever married an Allan Erde; her 1999 oral history interview only mentions Frankman.

thread_title: Who is Betty Skelton married to/where does she live?

message: This article needs to be rewritten, as it takes too liberally from other sources, both literal duplication and close paraphrasing. 
For a few examples, compare text from the article this source:
*"...played with model airplanes, not dolls. At the age of eight...began teaching the entire family to fly."
And compare to this source:
*"She received her commercial rating...in Tampa."
*"She first started aerobatic...local amateur airshow."
*"She bought her own aircraft...exhibition team, the Blue Angels."
To this source (+ ):
*"During her teenage years, Betty flew...during the day."
*"She mastered dozens of tricks...off the ground."
*"In 1948, she bought a rare Pitts Special...beautiful woman in a male-dominated world of death-defying stunts."
*"climbed into a Dodge sedan...discovered her second passion."
*"raced across the South American...proving grounds in Michigan."
*"set records with Corvettes, owning 10 in all."
*"They retired in the 1970s...a retired Navy surgeon"
There are likely to be other passages within these and other sources, but I believe this is ample enough to require a complete rewrite. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Have you checked to see if the article can be reverted to this revision? I know it's a great loss of content, but it looks a lot cleaner than nothing. She's definitely notable enough and needs an article. Royalbroil 23:59, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi. Sorry for the delay in response. This tag is frequently used just to give contributors a chance to preserve content prior to the restoration of last clean. (This often seems more courteous to all contributors when a lot of work has gone into an article that simply tossing it all aside.) In this case, there is a new version that is at this very moment being evaluated. Should it prove usable, it will be merged with that older history and the article restored to publication very soon. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:41, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
