How does one both win and not win the same prize?[edit]

Untitled[edit]

Seems contradictory to me. September 2006

You you elaborate on this? Where does it say she won and did not win the same prize? Michael Hardy 00:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More?[edit]

Is this everything we know about such a great guitarrist?

If you know more, write more. Matve 13:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone corroborate or refute the part that has been added about Isbin not winning the Madrid Queen Sofia and Munich competitions? It seems to have been written in a fit of pique, but I am reluctant to remove it until I know more... Matve 13:37, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lesbian[edit]

It should be added to the article that she is a lesbian. Need sources? Try google.

A lesbo? Too bad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.72.10.104 (talk) 22:05, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No one has caught this for a year? First, the term "lesbo" is insulting. How would you like to be insulted for one of your inherent, private characteristics? Second, if by "too bad" you mean that you are a male and you think she might be interested in you, I suspect you are flattering yourself. What have you accomplished that is comparable to all that Ms. Isbin has done? David Spector (talk) 18:45, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Include Sharon's birth date? Spouse?[edit]

I came to this page wondering how old Sharon is, and was surprised to find that her birth date is not listed, which seems odd for a biography page. Also, she is married - to Elizabeth Schulze, at least as of May, 2018 - which is also something that tends to be included in biography pages. So I thought I'd just mention it. And I still don't know when she was born, so I can't update that. Sammyjava (talk) 22:27, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find reliable sources for any of those claims then we will definitely add that content to the article. SQGibbon (talk) 05:55, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
