Mediate edit war
editThere has been an edit war over whether the fact that her parents got divorced should be in the article. Both of you have violated WP:3RR.
- I'm going to see if I can help out here. I have to agree that the fact that her parents got divorced does not belong here. Although I do not have an opinion on the subject's notability she is far from notable enough to have a fact like that included. This isn't Obama. --mboverload@ 22:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
- It is a fact about her life. Early life, middle life, what have you. Regardless, it was a big part of her life, as divorce is with any kid. If it is a fact, then it should be included. Just because she's not the most well-known person in the world doesn't mean that it's any less pertinent to her biography. We can't simply be like "Oh, I guess this person is more notable now. Let's add in that information we've been deleting before." Or in reverse, what happens if wiki is still here in a similar incarnation in 100 years. Can we be like "Who is this Obama guy? His article is too big. We need to get some of these documented facts out of there because he's not very notable anymore." I mean, it just seems kinda silly to leave something out that we would definitely put in if she were more (in)famous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.51.83.101 (talk) 17:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
Paul and Patricia?
editApparently Patricia was "adopted" by Paul...? Has anyone else read this? Also, Patricia a fucking nut. Google her. Seriously --76.105.145.143 (talk) 05:04, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
Patricia is a great human. I dont know why is insulting not putted away here? No one took bad words away since Nov 2012? My god. Learn to talk without curse around yankee, then talk about others. Greets, Vitali. --87.161.74.94 (talk) 15:41, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
Just to set the record straight...
editAlthough the assertion that Mr. Gilroy was "murdered" was posted, though "removed" but still on record, nobody was murdered. By Amendment to Death Certificate, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office declared his death to be a suicide by (pharmaceutical) drug overdose. According to his D/Cert., Gilroy's last occupation was Sales Mgr. Live Foods, which I presume is now the Bragg Co. 173.228.71.128 (talk) 21:45, 18 September 2013 (UTC)
Entry
editThis makes no sense at all. I found this through Women in Business category and there is nothing on her career. I don't see how any reader would find this useful.--NorthBond (talk) 18:01, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
Was Patricia Bragg demonstrably vegetarian? MaynardClark (talk) 02:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
What obituary? Where? When? Source? Not phantasies... source!
edit"This confuses the reader because an obituary has been found that says something different." Source?

Patricia Pendleton Bragg's mother's obituary appeared the day after her death in the Oakland (CA) Tribune newspaper, & was specifically published on July 30, 1964. This is plainly stated in Bragg's Wikipedia page. As to WHY Patricia told the Santa Barbara newspaperwoman that her mother died in an "automobile accident", rather than of lung cancer, well, who knows? If you wish to get a scanned copy of the actual obituary to confirm, email the "Oakland, CA Public Library". I believe they offer this service, as the full archives of the stated newspaper are on microfilm & in their possession. No "phantasies" are involved, at least at this end. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8101:F462:D08:4F17:9F4D:7990 (talk) 17:10, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
