message: I don't find evidence that Jo Elizabeth Stafford legally changed her name to Jo Stafford. I propose changing the lede to begin, "Jo Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 – July 16, 2008) was an American singer...", per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies).

replies: text: I found an article in The Guardian which gives her full name as Josephine Elizabeth Stafford (see here). If this is correct then I was thinking we could change the lede to say something like "Josephine Elizabeth Stafford (November 12, 1917 - July 16, 2008), known professionally as Jo Stafford . . ." Any thoughts on this? TheRetroGuy (talk) 17:47, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lede name usage 

message: I have removed this claim from the lede: "She was one of only a handful of musicians to have perfect pitch, or the ability to identify a note without having seen the piano key or instrument on which it was played."
The cited reference actually refutes this claim. IMHO the claim should not be restored unless a higher quality source is cited. See Wikipedia:Verifiability.

thread_title:  Perfect pitch 

message: There are a lot of external links on this page. I think some of them could be used as references instead, so I might put this on my list of things to do. TheRetroGuy (talk) 13:02, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I notice someone changed the date of her death, but I think some of the refs which point to her death being on 13 July are erroneous. Somewhere (I think it was the Washington Post or LA Times) I've seen a correction regarding this, and most seem to agree it was 16 July. TheRetroGuy (talk) 22:19, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Date of death 

message: Jo Stafford also participated in a Roosevelt Birthday Ball at the White House during the Truman administration.  Being involved in this or the Eisenhower tea in 1954 doesn't mean political affiliation.  I am commenting out the political information and removing the category; unless/until there is proof that she publicly favored a political party. We hope (talk) 18:23, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Need a little more information about this as I'm not entirely clear what the problem actually is. It seems to be working fine for me, but if there is an issue with something then I should be able to fix it with a few more details. If not, I'll find someone who can. I've already replied on LukasMatt's talk page, but thought it was worth mentioning it here too. This is Paul (talk) 14:49, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
