Incorrect information about Nina Olivette

[edit]

I have commented out the "(born Elizabeth Tucker; August 7, 1910 – October 17, 1993)" material that followed Nina Olivette's name in this article. As I did research for the article Nina Olivette, I never saw "Elizabeth Tucker" as her birth name. I don't know why she would have had Tucker for a last name when "Mrs. Stockwell was ... a daughter of Edgar and Kazia Lachmann," according to her obituary in The New York Times. As for dates of her birth and death, that same obituary, dated February 23, 1971, gave her age as 63, indicating that she was born in 1907 or 1908.

Have found her exact dob of 10 May 1907 listed in New City records as per index listed on Ancestry and added same to her article. RossRSmith (talk) 01:29, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
RossRSmith, thanks for doing that. Unfortunately, Ancestry.com is not generally considered reliable for Wikipedia articles, but that date is a good start. I added a comment on the talk page of Nina Olivette with a link to the non-reliable source discussion. I appreciate your help. Eddie Blick (talk) 16:00, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Overall there is a lack of sourcing, even for his name. Figureofnine (talkcontribs) 14:45, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
