Talk:Carol Doda

Check her age when first wearing the Monokini...
Her birth date, "1937", quoted in the first paragraph, and her age, "19", when First Wearing her Monokini "in 1964" simply don't add up!

"ture hole"?
The first paragraph of the article includes the line: She descended from a ture hole in the ceiling

I've never heard of a "ture hole", and Googling it turns up things like "tempera-ture hole" and "su-ture hole". Is there such a thing? -Dan Griscom (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

In 1983 her piano killed the assistant manager of a club where she performed. Apparently he and his naked girlfriend were accidentally levitated, and he was so off center that the piano got tilted, missed the ture hole and squashed him. --88.73.43.37 (talk) 22:49, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * And how is that relevant? I'm inclined to remove that parenthetical statement. 2600:8802:5913:1700:F50D:DDC9:D673:E278 (talk) 00:13, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

possible copy/paste copyvio
Parts of this article appear to have been copied verbatim from a SF chronicle article (reprinted here: ). Triona (talk) 10:04, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I compared the Wikipedia article and the SF Chronicle article and this is not a blatant "copy and paste" job. The first sentence in the Wiki article is very similar to one in the newspaper. However the sentence had a link to the newspaper story which I converted to a proper reference. I don't see how this close paraphrasing is a violation of a copyright. Did you find any other violations?  I removed the "needs additional citations" tag because this small article has 13 references and no fact tags. -- SWTPC6800 (talk) 01:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I removed the tag - I couldn't find any direct copyvio either. Through my edits and other editing process the sentences have been paraphrased, so I don't really see the problem.  Incidentally, I could not find sources for the claims regarding Doda's age, and the new chronicle article reports uncertainty regarding the age (but a much younger age than the article had claimed).

Birthplace
A redlink editor with only two other edits in the last couple of years made claims today based on dubious sourcing, as I explained in my edit summary. I would also note that the Vallejo Times-Herald only has her AP obit. An editor needs much more specific citing than "this appeared in a newspaper at some date I can't exactly tell you, but trust me." Also, there's the fact a Google search turns up zero hits for "+Vallejo 'carol doda' ".--Tenebrae (talk) 21:04, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
