[edit] birthdate
Websites seem to disagree about whether Swanson was born in 1897 or 1899. More have 1899 as the year of birth. Since her official website says 1899, I've fixed the birth date in the article. -- Minesweeper 00:46 4 Jun 2003 (UTC)
- She says 1899 in her autobiography, and it's the date on her tombstone [1]. People on here seem to believe the 1897 date simply because it says so on IMDB, but as a regular user of (and contributor to) that site for the past 4 years I can honestly say that it's far from perfect and certainly not as reliable as people seem to think.

- Could there be a mention of the problem with the dates on the article so there is no confusion as to why WP chose that (the right) date. Lincher 17:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Both her death certificate and her gravestone have 1899. Shouldn't that be proof enough to change the date to 1899? Hotwine8 15:59, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't see why it shouldn't. I see no reliable source cited that confirms 1897. Crisso 16:42, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 22:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Category: Scientologist?
Just how dedicated was she as a scientologist? I walked into a scientology center in 1971, bought one book, and have been on their mailing list for the past 34 years. I am most definitely not a scientologist, thought their standard procedure is to list people like me as believers. I'd like to see a little proof that she was truly dedicated to scientology. Please note that I have omitted my name stamp while discussing scientology; this is on purpose!
[edit] Pioneer Vegetarian?
Gloria Swanson was very important in the history of vegetarianism and the organic food movement. This should be added to the article. I'll try to find some references... JesseW 20:11, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bitchy vs. unpleasant
I read she could be a bitch; why use "unpleasant", it is too vague an adjective. 216.194.0.8 04:49, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
