Is this NPOV?

  "Constantly fighting, the pair began to sink lower into their world of experimental drug use."

Source? The language also seems biased to me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.167.236 (talk) 20:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Best article written on Abigail Folger

This page on Abigail Folger, is by far the best source of information available on Folger's life. No other site even comes close. Does anyone know who took the photograph of Abigail used on the Wikipedia site? Was it at Cielo Drive? - Nico

Why was the Abigail Folger photo removed?

Why was Abigail Folger's photo removed from this page? Member Craigy 144 deleted it from this site and did not bother to explain as to why. How rude can that person be!---Mike Altmann

Mike, please do not make personal attacks such as "How rude can that person be!". Craigy 144 very clearly "bothered to explain why" - according to the image's "deleted edits" log, this image was removed citing the reason "listed on Phase II of WP:PUI for 15 days and not tagged by the uploader after being contacted", which is completely legitimate. Images need to be tagged to provide details of copyright status. Please research matters before making this kind of inflammatory comment. CLW 08:41, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Use of nickname

I've reverted back the frequent use of Folger's nickname "Gibby", as this is an encyclopedia article, not a magazine article. The reference to her nickname at the start of the "Early life" section is fine, elsewhere she should be referred to as Abigail or Folger.

Also, section titles should be brief and to the point. For example, "Early life" is all that is needed. Changing this back to "Early life and becoming a debutante" is not necessary, since this section deals with "Early life, her parents marriage, her father's second marriage, going to school, going to college, going to university and becoming a debutante" - far too long for a heading! "Early life" does the job nicely. CLW 08:36, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Per the Biography Manual of Style shouldn't subsequent uses of her name simply be Folger, and not the familiar form Abigail? Itsfullofstars 22:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vital information on subject continuously removed

Yoda4peace has removed large portions of vital information on the Abigail Folger article. Can the deleted information on Abigail Folger please be returned in its original format?

photo

How would it be possible to add photos of Abigail Folger to the article? I dont' know how the copyright stuff all works, so could someone help me out and tell me how to add pictures of her from the internet onto here and if it is legal or not. I think they would really improve the article! thanks

Failed GA

No refs, needs an copyedit, lots of one sentence paragraphs. Jaranda ^{wat's sup} 23:22, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heading

I'm a little confused as to why all that information about her death is in the heading. Shouldn't that be in the section about her death? It seems a little much to list everyone that was murdered with her and the names of all the defendants in the actual heading. All it should say is something along the lines of the fact she was murdered in 1969 as a part of the infamous Sharon Tate murders committed by the Manson family, not everything that is written there.Zdawg1029 (talk) 17:48, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
