== American Comedy Awards: Lifetime Achievement Award in Comedy twice? ==

Apparently (according to the [[Lifetime Achievement Award|Lifetime Achievement Award page]]) she won only in 1997. If so, then the 1996 entry should be removed. [[User:Renatokeshet|Renato]] ([[User talk:Renatokeshet|talk]]) 19:38, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

== In Hospital ==

Someone did an edit saying Reynolds had died but that was quickly reverted. She is only in hospital; no real specifics on the cause although TMZ claims it is a stroke. (Many other sites claiming it is a stroke also got the info from TMZ). http://www.tmz.com/2016/12/28/debbie-reynolds-hospitalized-stroke/

'''Example of a news item that gets the stroke info from TMZ''' http://news.nationalpost.com/arts/celebrity/debbie-reynolds-carrie-fishers-mother-rushed-to-hospital-after-suffering-alleged-stroke

Of course, I would not cite TMZ so I went with two highly-respected sources. Other credible sources: http://www.cnn.com/2016/12/28/entertainment/debbie-reynolds-hospitalized/ '''and''' http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/debbie-reynolds-rushed-hospital-medical-emergency-report-959634 '''and''' http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-debbie-reynolds-ill-20161228-story.html [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 23:45, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

::::And [[User:SNUGGUMS]] we have been very, very careful to word the info about this to be as factual as possible. We did not claim it was a stroke as TMZ claims. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 00:47, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Even the Washington Post is quoting TMZ about the stroke. Strange. (But Wikipedia is NOT doing so) ..... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/12/28/debbie-reynolds-rushed-to-hospital-reports-say/?utm_term=.0c0620a2d770 [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 00:57, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

:It's best to avoid using claims from TMZ, and we shouldn't even use links that contain things like "according to TMZ" or "TMZ reports" as they use TMZ (which is an unreliable gossip site) as a basis for reports.

::OK, I deleted the citations and added one from the LA Times that does not mention TMZ. But so many major news organizations, including NPR and Washington Post, are citing TMZ. Weird. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 01:04, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I guess [[User:Frank]] and I are now on the same wavelength. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 01:34, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
::But [[User:SNUGGUMS]] and I are not quite on the same wavelength on one issue: Both [[User:Frank]] and I are convinced that the Facts section should show that her daughter is deceased. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 01:37, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
:::If by "facts section" you mean the infobox, then its purpose isn't to be overfilled with details. What's important for an infobox is the children themselves rather than whether they're alive. The only death an infobox should focus on is the article subject him/herself and spouses if they are widows/widowers as that tells how marriage ended. On another note, I'm glad that the lead citation has been replaced with something not based off of TMZ reports.

BBC Radio 5 Live has just announced she's passed away, quoting agencies. No doubt reliable sources will be available shortly. -- [[Special:Contributions/83.104.44.241|83.104.44.241]] ([[User talk:83.104.44.241|talk]]) 01:55, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
:Personally, I think TMZ is reliable. I've never known them to report anything erroneously. They vet their sources extensively, although I can understand the perception that they're not a legitimate source. For something more reputable, Variety is also reporting that Ms. Reynolds has passed away.

::::::I have yet to find a highly reliable source that states the official cause of death. All discussions about a stroke had been based on a [[TMZ]] article and TMZ is not the most reliable source. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 02:11, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

'''No cause of death provided to the media yet.''' We cannot speculate or rely on TMZ. e.g. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-debbie-reynolds-ill-20161228-story.html

:::::'''Still no official reason for being in hospital nor cause of death.''' It might be a stroke but we want some definite statement about that, not news sources repeating [[TMZ]]. [[User:Peter K Burian|Peter K Burian]] ([[User talk:Peter K Burian|talk]]) 03:43, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

What exactly makes TMZ unreliable? Just because you say it doesn't make it true, and, if you check, their right/wrong ratio is going to be as good as any source you've dubbed "reliable". There's a reason that "reliable sources" quote them without a second thought. As stated above, they aren't some rag like the Enquirer. [[Special:Contributions/24.14.224.157|24.14.224.157]] ([[User talk:24.14.224.157|talk]]) 04:02, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

I was going to ask what makes TMZ unreliable? But the person above me has beat me to it. Is there a rule that TMZ can't be used a a source? When has TMZ been wrong? I've never seen TMZ sued over false info. Other sources cite TMZ, ABC, CBS etc, yet Wikipedia won't use TMZ as a source? [[Special:Contributions/2601:483:100:CB54:85BA:B8EA:B077:5A31|2601:483:100:CB54:85BA:B8EA:B077:5A31]] ([[User talk:2601:483:100:CB54:85BA:B8EA:B077:5A31|talk]]) 04:16, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

::::::Ok here's the specific policy I don't see how it's the least bit applicable here:"Recently dead or probably dead
Anyone born within the past 115 years is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death. Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the dead that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or a particularly gruesome crime. In the absence of confirmation of death, anyone born more than 115 years ago is presumed dead unless listed at oldest people."

In three places, the possessive of her last name is written ''Reynold's''. Her last name is Reynolds; you cannot form a possessive by inserting an apostrophe into the middle of it. The apostrophe must come ''after'' the name, making the possessive either ''Reynolds{{'}}'' or ''Reynolds's''.
