Talk:Nancy Kerrigan

message: Back in'94, '95 and possibly '96.  Manager Jerry Solomon at least 10 or 15 years older than her saw his "meal ticket" and left his wife and 6-year old son and married Nancy.  His wife didnt go empty handed, sources reported a hefty divorce $ettlement from Solomon to her.  Also these publication reported much friction between Nancy & Jerry, and Kerrigan's extended supportive blue collar family as the family felt "he took over her life".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.184.195 (talk) 23:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  From accounts in People Magazine and The National Enquirer 

message: Why is there so much more empahsis on her negative publicity than on her '94 Olympics experience?  She (and the drama on the ice) commanded a huge share of the television audience in her home country, and she is at least as well known for the Games (getting clubbed, coming back and earning the silver) as for her unfortunate remarks afterward, whether or not they were misinterpreted.  I'm no NK fan but the article should talk more about those Games, and the controversy over the results (personally I feel OB should've won, but that's a completely subjective opinion--I just liked her better :) 68.161.128.140 (talk) 04:13, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  '94 Olympics 

message: I removed the following wording from the "1991-1992 competitions" section:
 While Nancy was a beautiful skater, her spirals needed work.  She couldn't perform one without the "kerrigan catch".
I know next to nothing about Nancy Kerrigan and merely happened across this article, so don't look to me to debate the merits of this, other than I'd strongly recommend that someone provide a verifiable source for this.  According to Google, the phrase "Kerrigan catch" is only found on Wikipedia, and the fact there seems to be a style of figure skating spiral named after her doesn't tell me that spirals are her weak spot.  Again, I'm not a fan of the sport, so if someone has evidence to refute this, please do so and feel free to update the article (with appropriate references). --Quintote (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I can't find an internet source to back me up, but in a mini-documentary during the 1994 Ice Wars, they pointed out that Olympic officials had asked Kerrigan not to attend the closing ceremonies because they couldn't provide security for her and that she had received death threats.  I just don't know how to source it.  The video is on youtube here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iopX6YkD7Zk.  I'll go ahead and add it, but hopefully someone can source it for me...24.125.150.215 (talk) 17:34, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Closing ceremony controversy 

message: There is a Youtube video in which a photo of Kerrigan is shown representing one of the girlfriends of  Andre Chad Parenzee. Photos of Tonya Harding and Kristy Yamaguchi also stand in for his wife and another girlfriend, respectively. The filmmaker seems to regard the three as fair game. Was there some kind of pop-culture SNL-caliber attitude of hostility towards all three, and if so, should it and links to the video(s) representing it be included in their respective articles?

replies: text: Why is a Youtube video she had nothing to do with, and that is not even about her, notable or relevant to Nancy Kerrigan's life or career?  Dr.frog (talk) 21:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Kerrigan image in HIV/AIDS YouTube video

message: No strong feelings about this, but outside the relatively small world of figure-skating she is best known (sadly) for the Harding incident. Perhaps the lead should reflect this.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 16:15, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Without question. The ledes in both this article and the Tanya Harding article end with the same vague sentence, as if the 1994 attack was a blip, when in fact it eclipsed both of their careers in terms of general notability. Skating fans might disagree, but without the attack the vast majority wouldn't give a hoot about either subject. Allreet (talk) 19:22, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: An editor named "Sometimes the sky is blue" has indicated that he/she would like to discuss an editing issue that has arisen in this article.
My sentence is the following:
"In April 2017, Kerrigan said she had had six miscarriages while attempting to have her three children. This had been "devastating" and a strain on her marriage.[61]"
Sometimes the sky is blue has repeatedly altered this, among other things by inserting the loaded and emotive verbs "suffered" and "endured" in place of the neutral "had".
Please feel free to discuss.

replies: text: While I disagree with you that "suffered" or "endured" are loaded, other words, such as "went though", can be found in the name of compromise. This is what I did in this edit. Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 02:11, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: Edit warring

message: I added a Findagrave source to the death of Daniel Kerrigan that was reverted because Findagrave is an unreliable source. I do not deny that Findagrave can be unreliable, but Findagrave links always appear in the External Links section of articles. Those links are not reverted, and I don't understand why a link within the article has to be reverted. Also, in the case of Daniel Kerrigan, his Findagrave link is backed up by the immediate previous source that shows his obituary. If the Findagrave link is known to be correct, I see no reason why it cannot be used within the article.Anthony22 (talk) 11:22, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: It can be used within the article - in the External Links section - but is generally considered unreliable; therefore, it's not a good idea to use it for inline citations. If you go back to the article and click on View History, you can see the edit summary I left. I left a link to the relevant guideline. Click on that, then scroll down to the name of the website for more explanation. Larry Hockett (Talk) 00:26, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
