thread_title: Serious help

message: Can someone add something about how she was an invited guest to the party Sharon Tate hosted the night she was murdered? she ended up not being able to make it to the party. I think its a good trivia quote. Here is a site for quotation : http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/1943/pge7.html
That's pretty much (for lack of a better word) an urban legend. There was no party that night. Susann wasn't being completely honest because a TON of people claimed they were invited that night. More than likely, they got confused with a party that was to happen earlier in the week, but was canceled. Pinkadelica 06:54, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This biography is an embarrassment(sp), ALMOST as bad as my spelling :). ANOTHER bio with ZIPPO footnotes. It should be nuked, imo. The bio by Seaman is a rag. Seaman's article in Wiki should be nuked as well....where to begin????? --Tom 14:08, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Philandering]] father?

message: I reworked the article & added the info box. Most of the info I took did come from the Swingin' Chicks website. I did try to leave the article as neutral and factual as possible. The Swingin' website is actually fairly accurate even though it includes a bit of hearsay. If anyone has a problem with how the article is written or structured, let me know or change it up.

message: "By the time Susann entered high school, she was dabbling in drugs and had earned the reputation of being a party girl" - is there a citation for this extraordinary statement?  Lanzarotemaps (talk) 15:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

message: My edit , revealing this fact was erased by User:Jayjg for Template:uw-unsourced2, though it was duly sourced. I need help against this unjustified delete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by עמירם פאל (talk • contribs) 08:42, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: My edit summary was quite clear: "Please review WP:OPENPARA". Did you click on the link provided in it? WP:OPENPARA. In particular, please note item 3.2: "Ethnicity or sexuality should not generally be emphasized in the opening unless it is relevant to the subject's notability." Was Susann's ethnicity relevant to her notability? Also, you inserted the claim that both her parents were Jewish, but as far as I can see, the source you provided never makes that claim. If it does, please quote it saying so explicitly. Jayjg (talk) 18:40, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You should have been that specific from the start - 1. Regarding the opening, I'll move the Jewish addition to the first paragraph, if you concur. 2. About both her parents being Jewish, please read the source - "Her maternal grandmother, Yuccha (Ida) Kahalofsky Jans, fleeing from pogroms in Kiev, arrived in Philadelphia on February 23, 1882... ". The Jews were the only people persecuted and suffered in the Ukraine Pogroms. And her father - Please read the whole next paragraph there about him and his ancestors. 3. You've erased the ammendment I've made regarding the Category - Please return it too. עמירם פאל (talk) 14:06, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked you to quote the source explicitly stating her parents were Jewish. It doesn't do so. Instead you've made inferences about them, based on stories about their own parents. Please review WP:NOR. Jayjg (talk) 00:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You should agree to at least add the fact you do agree to, about the one parent. Concerning the other, I CALL AGAIN FOR ANY OTHER READER TO HELP ME AGAINST YOU. I think that it's obvious from the material I had provided that she was Jewish and without help from anyone, I'm going to surrender. I refuse to engage in edit wars. עמירם פאל (talk) 07:12, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Why use the pejorative term "concealing", and ask for help "AGAINST" me? This is highly combative. You have a source that says Susann in Jewish. Feel free to include that in the body of the article. Why do you need all that other stuff, for which you have no source? Jayjg (talk) 19:52, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: O.K. To my paranoid Jewish brain it seemed you were following me and erasing every mention of good thing I had edited about Jewish persona. Let's start from scratch and work TOGETHER at the three relevant articles. Here for one - Why wouldn't you see the source I had provided sufficient enough to say her parents were both Jewish? Who's the one you question and why? עמירם פאל (talk) 05:31, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Assuming it's the mother, you have your doubts about - Here's what the relevant paragraph says about her origins: "...fleeing from pogroms in Kiev, arrived in Philadelphia on February 23, 1882...". As said before, only the Jews were the victims of the Pogroms of 1882 in Ukraine. And the fact that this refugee married a Jew seems to me to be closing the whole business up, completely. עמירם פאל (talk) 06:50, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You have a source that reliably indicates Susann is Jewish. Why not just include that? Feel free to add that her maternal grandmother "...fleeing from pogroms in Kiev, arrived in Philadelphia on February 23, 1882...", though it seems quite WP:UNDUE, given the brevity of this article. Jayjg (talk) 20:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I am going to edit, at the beginning of the "Early Years" paragraph - "Jacqueline Susann was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a Jewish family, Robert Susann,....etc." Is it O.K.? Will you just ammend it whichever way you deem correct, and add it youself if you're opposed to this formulation? Thx! עמירם פאל (talk) 14:33, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

text: We have a communication problem. I don't understand - which part do you object to? What do you agree to, if any? To her being Jewish, her father, her mother, all of them, what? עמירם פאל (talk) 11:50, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You said you were going to add "Jacqueline Susann was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to a Jewish family, Robert Susann,....etc." The source does not say that. I object to adding material that is not in the source. Jayjg (talk) 01:55, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You win. עמירם פאל (talk) 06:50, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't win anything; I'm just trying to make sure WP:NOR and WP:V are followed here. Jayjg (talk) 22:40, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: You could however help instead of winning, as you did indeed help with Peter Diamond. After all, no reasonable person can doubt Jacqueline Susann's Jewishness, in light of the sources I had provided. עמירם פאל (talk) 13:51, 11 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concealing the fact that she was Jewish 

message: Remove the part about Susann being invited to a party at Sharon Tate's on August 8, 1969, but deciding not to go.  As someone else has pointed out, it's simply not true.  Every celebrity and every celebrity's brother who was alive in August 1969 has claimed to have been invited to Sharon Tate's that night, because ooo-eee ooo-eee and celebrities are natural born attention seekers.   No party was ever planned and the only people invited to the house on August 8, 1969, were Jay Sebring and Sandy Tennant, who declined, unless you count the housekeeper, Winifred Chapman.  Sharon asked her if she would like to spend the night, but she also declined. 2600:6C5D:5A00:B1D:C1A7:162D:3013:C65F (talk) 03:48, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
