Is it really about sex?

Was this scandal really about sex or was it about blackmail of government and business leaders? 192.174.37.64 (talk) 18:44, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It definitely is about blackmail. She was a mossad agent. 2600:100F:B106:7B65:0:49:8F6D:B401 (talk) 00:32, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NOTFORUM applies here. Please stop or we will remove this talk page section entirely. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 04:45, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar correction

"In 2021 she was found guilty in a New York court of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,[8] and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment on 28 June 2022.[9]" is structured in the wrong way. It shold have been like: "In 2021 she was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offences in connection with the financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,[8] and was sentenced to 20 years imprisonment by New York court on 28 June 2022.[9]"

Current version of text implies that there is a court of child sex trafficking, not that the latter is the crime Maxwell commited. XSome1Else (talk) 08:04, 8 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All it requires is the insertion of a comma: guilty in a New York court, of child sex trafficking

Photo rollback

I rolled back 2 edits where a "nicer photo" was added at the top which already was in the article further down. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 02:24, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Attempts to locate Maxwell to serve court documents edit request

This bit needs to be amended a little

"claiming she needed to return to the United Kingdom to be with her deathly ill mother" to,

Maxwell's attorney claimed "she needed to return to the United Kingdom to be with her deathly ill mother"

And maybe a a note, that her deathly ill mother managed to hang on for another 3 years? 121.98.30.202 (talk) 13:00, 7 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Name.

A few portions where Ghislaine and her father are both referenced read fairly awkwardly, case in point -

"After Robert Maxwell purchased the New York Daily News in January 1991, he sent Maxwell to New York City to act as his emissary.". Robert Maxwell sent Maxwell to New York?

Should this, and other similar sentences, be written with her given name in place of "maxwell" for legibility purposes?2A02:C7C:5F61:5000:E9C4:AE63:13D5:51D (talk) 08:57, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reddit

Why is Maxwell being a top employee with Reddit not mentioned in this article at all. 100.6.24.73 (talk) 00:32, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps because the multiple reliable sources required to verify such a statement in a BLP article have not been found. Davidships (talk) 19:36, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mis-placed newspaper headlines

This is not a newspaper. When there's a section "Dispute over release of court documents" which is about the sealing and release of court documents in the very same case, we don't need a "2024 release of court documents" heading for stuff that is just more content for the immediately preceding section.
