Talk:Elizabeth Bolden

message: Firstly, it is highly against WP policy to recreate Associated Press articles, especially word for word with opinion in. Secondly, Maria Capovilla died yesterday, making Bolden the oldest recognised person in the world. As such, it seems to make sense to focus on that within the article, and not the fact that she was once thought to be, when she was stripped of this title retroactively. The current title is more important, more relevant, and should be emphasised within the first paragraph. Please discuss any further changes on these sections, and please do not just revert everything without any comment or discussion. Jdcooper 16:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: *I am happy with that compromise as well, as it seems quite likely that she may become the 9th oldest, and that is information specific to her, whereas the Jeanne Calment-related statement is outlandish, and highly unlikely. However, someone other than me will probably remove that at some point, as happened on the María Capovilla article. Jdcooper 13:22, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Kewel. You realize I'm going to want to move the next person once she reaches 9th oldest. I realize the 6 year thing for Jean Clement was a stretch but I'm trying to add some fun to wikipedia. You realize that Gerald Ford prediction has been on there ever since Reagan died. About 2 years.--Dr who1975 21:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  Ah. Sad, but at least she lived a great life. Once you reach her age, you can basically die anytime. --RandomOrca2 19:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
