Talk:Barbara West

Date of Birth
I have just came across a possible inconsistency. Encyclopedia Titanica, a well-known and respectable site dedicated to all things Titanic, has Barbara's date of birth as May 24th, however under her father's biography, her date of birth is listed as March 11th. I know most sites have Barbara's date of birth as May 24th, but I wonder if there are more sources available to support this. I will try contacting Encyclopedia Titanica and see what I can find out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadow2700 (talk • contribs) 15:37, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Age at sinking
CNN reports she was two months old. Have we got the wrong birth date? ____________ I'm not happy about her death, but Am very glad Ms. Dean has outlived her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.244.188.174 (talk) 13:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Everywhere else I've seen it, she is listed as about ten months old. I think you have her confused with Millvina Dean, who was two months old. Morhange 05:30, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * You say "everywhere else" but you provide no sources. You say I might be confused, but I provide sources.  Rklawton 13:15, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Er, sorry. I meant "everywhere else" as in passenger lists and articles about the disaster. For example, her birthdate is listed at her entry at the Encyclopedia Titanica, here and browsing through the google news results will give plenty of places indicating either her birthdate as May 1911, or her age at the sinking as 10 months.

 * Gees, I really did have them switched! Sorry about that.  Rklawton 05:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:West35456.jpg

In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

- indeed. And reading the obituary of this "intensely private" woman I feel deletion would be respectful as well as in accordance with the fair use criteria. I'll delete it by Friday 9th May if no one can specify the fair use rationale. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SeamusSweeney (talk • contribs) 11:24, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

"One of the second youngest passengers" is incorrect usage of English. It should be rephrased. Madeinsane (talk) 01:36, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
