message: :"She used to co-host a radio talkshow with Mark Taylor on KABC in Los Angeles."
That's true, but before that, she had her own show. Can't think how to add that info in smoothly, or of any sources. (She used the song "Gloria" when she was on by herself, but I can't think what intro she and Mark used when they were on together.) anon 07:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

message: not sure if anyone else has details or sources, but apparently the local NBC affiliate in Los Angeles will be running an interview with Allred about her life in which she will talk about, "the rape, the abortion, and answers THE question..." I can only assume the latter refers to if she's gay or not??  I didn't read about any of this in the article, so i wasn't sure if these are details from her book-- new??
In any case, the text article is located here: Gloria Allred NBC 4 interview.  It's not up yet, but later today (03/13/09) they are supposed to have the extended interview on a video on the same site.  --162.80.36.13 (talk) 14:06, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

message: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_california_governor_housekeeper
With 5 weeks to the election, the California gubernatorial race is heating up. Nicky Diaz Santillan is the driving force behind the latest controversy over Meg Whitman's past. She alleges that Whitman knowingly kept her, an illegal immigrant housekeeper, in her family’s service for over ten years. Nicky links this alleged knowledge with a secondary allegation of brusque treatment. The foundation for these claims is a 2003 letter from the Social Security Administration, which prompted the Whitman household to investigate discrepancies in the housekeeper's documents. Juxtaposed with Whitman's calls for tougher crackdown on illegal immigration, she might seem another hypocritical politician.
Allred is taking up another political case.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwaxe (talk • contribs) 04:59, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Sorry if this is not formatted correctly; I'm not a Wikipedia editor. However, there is what I suspect is vandalism in this article and that of her daughter (Lisa Bloom) with various Armenian references. I would fix them but I don't know the protocol and from what I understand, editors prefer to do that themselves, often reversing changes by unnamed people anyway.

thread_title:  Request for admin help 

message: I've restored and rewritten some of the legal career section, adding some and re-removing some. I invite challenges to individual passages that were retained. The 2000s and 2010s sections in particular could use some smoothing - converting into prose, condensing or potentially removing some of the less notable incidents, contextualizing. It should be said that Allred is probably the most well known woman lawyer in the US and she has had a long career that easily deserves more than just a few paragraphs.
I think the article can be further improved by expanding the lead, improving references, and ensuring that her landmark cases are included. I plan on adding her abortion and earlier marriage and incorporating these references  as well as some material from her book. Gobōnobō + c 23:17, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it isn't. I have removed it. There's nothing wrong with saying she's Jewish, but we don't need to draw attention to it in that way. Robofish (talk) 16:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem with the complete removal is that she then can't be in the Jewish American category without sourcing per WP:BLP.  I added back a source and single mention.  She's also Armenian descent.  Nothing I read states she actually practices Judaism so this is more of an ethnic and cultural determination and not about religion.  97.85.173.38 (talk) 03:20, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

No such source has been presented, as far as I can see. We therefore await the presentation of such a source. Until then, "claimed" and "allegedly" wording is not acceptable.

message: Instead of a criticism section that for obvious reasons quotes mainly people who dislike Allred, I think it would be more NPOV to have a Reactions section that includes also positive comments. For example, LA Mag cited elsewhere in article has quotes that Allred and her partners are "superb lawyers," also that "Allred has conviction, whether or not you agree with her position or her strategy." The Guardian calls her "America's top feminist lawyer." Cutting this short, I suggest we repurpose the "Criticism" section to provide a more balanced list of people's public statements about Allred.
