-Find a Grave claims that Barrymore had an illegitimate son named Gene born in 1915 (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=15537384), and Geni.com even seems to allege that the mother was Evelyn Nesbit http://www.geni.com/people/Geme-Barrymore/6000000006805237135 [[User:AloysiusZimmerfloss|C&#39;est la vie]] ([[User talk:AloysiusZimmerfloss|talk]]) 03:26, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

-== External links modified ==

I made the following changes:

-== Infobox ==
-Since when adding a few names to the infobox is "forcing personal preference"? The fact is that as a major contributor of this article, [[User:SchroCat|you]] are probably the one who prefers to keep the infobox in its current format, based on your preferences. I respect your opinion, but may I ask why you insist on removing those names? <span style="font:'Pristina'">[[user:Keivan.f|<span style="color: #1E7HDC">Keivan.f</span>]]</span><span style="font:'Pristina'"><sup>[[user_talk:Keivan.f|<span style="color: purple">Talk</span>]]</sup></span> 19:23, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
-*Its your personal preference as this IB has been without the names since 2016 (to the best of my recollection). When you were reverted you should have come here, rather than try and force the issue by re-reverting. We do not need to add lists of names to the box. We have a link to the whole family, so there's is no benefit in adding swathes of other names to duplicate: less is more is a good rule of thumb when it comes to IBs. – [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat|talk]]) 19:27, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
-::You are the one who started reverting, and the fact that the infobox has been without the names since 2016 doesn't make it forbidden for everyone else to edit it. As I had realized earlier there's no point in this discussion because both of us have opposing views. Probably I should open an RfC and ask what the other users think. <span style="font:'Pristina'">[[user:Keivan.f|<span style="color: #1E7HDC">Keivan.f</span>]]</span><span style="font:'Pristina'"><sup>[[user_talk:Keivan.f|<span style="color: purple">Talk</span>]]</sup></span> 19:32, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
-:::Yes, I reverted first: it's what BRD suggests should happen. What it suggests next is for discussion, not for you to enter into edit warring. If you wish to waste people's time with an RfC, that is entirely up to you. As to your rationale of "{{tq|Only those whom he hadn't met, like his grandparents}}", perhaps you should start by reading the article to understand his relationship with, for example, his grandmother, before try and sum up his life in meaningless factoids. – [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat|talk]]) 19:39, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
-::::Of course I have already read the article, otherwise I wouldn't have become interested in editing it. "{{tq|not for you to enter into edit warring}}" I suppose you don't even know what edit war means then. One revert per 24 hours is not considered an edit war. And as you are already aware, I'm able to open an RfC and ask for the opinions of others. Whether it's a waste of time or not, however, cannot be determined by you. <span style="font:'Pristina'">[[user:Keivan.f|<span style="color: #1E7HDC">Keivan.f</span>]]</span><span style="font:'Pristina'"><sup>[[user_talk:Keivan.f|<span style="color: purple">Talk</span>]]</sup></span> 21:24, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
-:::::''You'' breached BRD: that's edit warring. End of story. Despite your claim to the contrary, I do know what I'm talking about.
-:::::If you had bothered reading the article you wouldn't have written "{{tq|Only those whom he hadn't met, like his grandparents}}", as his grandmother was the main female role model in his life – something the article makes clear. – [[User:SchroCat|SchroCat]] ([[User talk:SchroCat|talk]]) 21:48, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
