Talk:Theresa Duncan

message: I have been reading about creating footnotes on Wiki but have run into some problems doing it for this article. I've made some progress but they still need some work (particularly the last two, which are supposed to refer back to the first footnote but don't, even though I thought I was following the instructions given). Is there anyone here who has footnote experience who can either straighten them out or tell me what I'm doing wrong? (I suspect there is a place to ask for footnote help, but I don't know where it is.) Was I wrong to try to create footnotes in the first place? Candy (talk) 08:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed them - you were nearly there. Creating footnotes is almost always a good idea. You can get general editing help at Wikipedia:Help desk. Hut 8.5 10:40, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I just made some edits, with I believed a sufficient explanation as to why. I would have thought this would be a fairly non-controversial one and not be a source of contention. In this circumstance, please do not undo an edit without an explanation as to why you thought the previous version was better, else you are the pot calling the kettle black, no?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Empyreal1 (talk • contribs) 03:56, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds good to me. Your changes (and link changes from earlier) all seem solid, very nice work. The problem I had earlier was the complete removal of the death of Blake from this article, I think it should have been referenced here along with their feelings about Scientology. It seems like a pretty major point. Snowfire51 (talk) 05:41, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: k, made the edit. i actually hadn't removed the reference to blake's death, but i have now put back in that his death was confirmed when his body was found. to be honest, at first i thought the quick response to my edit was a bit unfair, but now i realize this is a good example of what makes wikipedia work. there have been some pretty screwy attempts to edit this page, some well-intentioned and others downright malicious. i now feel fairly confident that things will go more smoothly from now on. thanks for your help!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Empyreal1 (talk • contribs) 06:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'm glad to see the cooperation shown here regarding the edits. I was concerned about the deletion of the reference to finding Jeremy's body because I thought it was a major omission to leave out the fact that he actually was confirmed to be dead. But I don't think all the details about Sea Girt, etc., are necessary. I'm also pleased to see that Theresa and Jeremy's allegations of harassment by the Church of Scientology have been reinstated, since that played such a critical role in their final years. (Yeah, it's covered in Vanity Fair, but not everyone will read the whole article.) Candy (talk) 07:32, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  By the way, Empyreal1, thanks for adding the link to the NY Mag. article that reported on the Corriere della Sera interview with Beck in which he mentioned his plans to make a film that sounded much like Theresa's film. Candy (talk) 07:39, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

message: As tragic as this may be (assuming it's even real), is this a person of any import (I never heard of her or her alleged accomplishments or alleged death), or can anyone put themselves on Wikipedia?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skaizun (talk • contribs) 03:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "Assuming it's even real"? "Alleged death"? You must be trollin'.  Candy (talk) 05:36, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Asking legitimate questions is not "trollin'", and unjustly accusing someone of doing so is against the Terms of Service of this website. Skaizun (talk) 11:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  It was a reasonable speculation (not accusation) on my part. The article is properly sourced, so your reference to her death as "alleged" and your insinuation that Duncan posted the article herself seemed unfounded to me. And even though the article is sourced, you cast doubt on its legitimacy by saying "assuming it's even real" without giving reasons you thought it might not be. If you are skeptical about the authenticity of Duncan's death or the facts presented in the article, you are free to present your reasons.  Candy (talk) 16:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: While Duncan, her short films, her work on early CD-ROM video games for girls and her death were all real, it does seem that she created her own Wikipedia entry almost a year before her death. The same user that posted the first short entry on her also posted an image of Jeremy Blake, claiming to be his husband. While Duncan and Blake were in a long-term relationship, they were not legally married. The user name is Tuesdaytd: Duncan was very interested in Tuesday Weld, and of course those are her initials at the end.Kongjie (talk) 17:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Very interesting! I'm not surprised. (I bet lots of living people write their own Wiki articles, and Duncan would have been likely to do it, I think.) But still, the article as it stands now presumably has material Duncan didn't write, unless she faked her death. I'm sure there are people who believe she did.
