There appears to be a fairly even split on whether she was born in 1908 or 1909 -- Someone else 01:24 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- On the 1910 census, taken in Aprilm she was 2. On the 1920 censusm taken Jan 1, she was 11. That makes 1908 the better choice.Questors 19:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
In order for this person to remain in Category:Gay icons, the article needs to mention this "fact" in the body and cite reliable sources to support it. --Rob 17:59, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not a fan site
The bane of Wikipedia is articles wtitten by fans, who have to plug their idols. The article is supposed to be neutral, not about how great Ethel Merman was. I removed POV and weasel words and peacock terms. Let the facts speak for themselves.
The reference to Merman's non-Jewish parentage and her Episcopalian baptism is a real eye-opener (I think most folks assume she was way Jewish), with a good source. Gershwin's advice is another great entry, but it needs to be sourced.
This could be a great article, with proper sourcing and neutral POV. J M Rice (talk) 18:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
The "Strike Me Pink" link actually links to Blondie's song, not the movie. I cannot seem to locate the Wiki for the movie at all. 11/2011 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.84.188.54 (talk) 03:30, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
