Talk:Diamond Tooth Lil

Source dump
Only now discovering how different Diamond Tooth Lils (DTLs) were independently notable... I originally dumped a few sources here for inconsistencies with the Klondike Lil story, but they could be useful in the future as I separate the Klondike Lil coverage from that of the Nevada/Boise(?) Lil. (Also re: the Yukon News, I'm more sympathetic to using the established, footnoted sources, even with questionable understanding of the combined myths, than I am to using this local news column opinion section.)




 * (link to "Hart, Arthur" WorldCat search for book, which apparently breaks template)


 * (This was one of Allen's original refs. It has more depth than some of the other syndicated press reports, but those claims are already sourced by books in the article, save for the taxis anecdote, which I consider trivia.)

World's Fair
This source smushes Ornstein and Hildegard into one person, and while I can sympathize—the "myth" of DTL appears to synthesize many disparate traits—there are some smaller details that might be interesting to mention but don't fit well. One weird example is how DTL once "sang and played piano at the 1903 World's Fair", but there was no fair that year to my recollection, and it's hard to tell which Lil timeline the statement supports. The MacKell source's redeeming quality is that it has frequent footnotes and in this case, the Mazzullas interview, published as Brass Checks and Red Lights in 1966, p. 12. czar 04:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

Newspapers.com
, could you mark your Newspapers.com clippings as public so others/I can see them? Also I think it might be time to retire the infobox. It seems misleading to put the image/vital info of one person at the top when the concept spans multiple people. (The old image anyway.) Could move the new image itself to the second section, though  czar  01:50, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The clippings are public now, thanks for the reminder. I agree about the infobox, I'll go pull it and move the image. &spades;PMC&spades; (talk) 03:56, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
