Death

The article notes she died of cancer, without further details. 70.89.177.161 (talk) 00:08, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

articles announcing her death have timestamps like 1 am eastern time. isn't it more likely she died on the 13th then? for her to die on the 14th requires it to have been just after midnight and the papers getting notice (and posting it) within the hour. seems pretty unlikely to me. 209.172.23.58 (talk) 00:46, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Birth year?

Different birth years (1954 & 1955) are given in the lead and infobox. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:12, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Fixed, 1955. — Wyliepedia 07:09, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Gwen Ifill - "take that Bibi" tweet

Her tweet was a very controversial topic in 2015 and should be included in her page. Citations can provided if needed. Mtujohn (talk) 19:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

i somehow missed that when it happened, but now having googled, i agree. should find its way into the article somewhere. 209.172.23.57 (talk) 05:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
This is an encyclopedia, guys, not Reddit or some dime-store tabloid. The uncontroversial (it didn't even make it out of the 48-hour news cycle) fact that a person made a tweet doesn't tell us anything about the subject of the article. There is a reason it doesn't "find its way into the article somewhere". Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 02:26, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
what was the tweet? Samswik (talk) 03:02, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
