text: Actually, I don't think that wikifying is needed here. Everything is linked properly. It's not a great article but it's written ok and...well...wikified. --Woohookitty(meow) 10:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And "needs improvement" usually would mean the attention tag or one of the cleanup tags. Not wikify. --Woohookitty(meow) 10:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the first sentence currently in the personal life section really necessary? It seems too personal to be included in any Wikipedia article and I think it should be removed. Catherinejarvis (talk) 20:08, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Nothing on Wikipedia is necessary, but this is not an invasion of privacy. McGraw herself has used her personal circumstances to publicise the issue of abortion. Considering that a comprehensive article about her life would most likely include such information, and considering that she has discussed her abortion openly I see no valid reason to delete the sentence from the article. Betty Logan (talk) 20:28, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the sentence should be retained, but I see no reason for it to be the first sentence of the section. I think it would be appropriate in the paragraph about MacGraw's autobiography. I'll move it in a few days, depending on whether there is further discussion here of course.CWBoast (talk) 12:27, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: I think part of the problem is that it is an isolated statement. Perhaps it wouldn't stick out so much if the section briefly detailed her pro-choice campaign work. Betty Logan (talk) 17:30, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  First sentence in Personal Life section 

message: Ali Macgraw's father Richard Macgraw was Scottish-American.  The actress has confirmed this fact on several occasions.  One only has to Google her name alongside the word 'Scotland' to find this confirmed by different sources, including a short biography on YouTube.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.181.16 (talk) 19:51, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
