Talk:Doris Haddock

Name
She is still referred to in media (today's article in the New York Times, for example) as Doris Haddock - shouldn't that be the name of the article??

Rating
This is high start class. A little more expansion, and I could be persuaded to upgrade this to level B. Drop me a note when this is done. ludahai 魯大海 02:23, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Arrest
At the end of her cross-country walk, wasn't she arrested at the Capitol for reading the Declaration of Independence? And if so, could this charge get an explanation? And how was this resolved? --Mrzold 21:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I've edited a single sentence in the Arrest section, as it sounded more like a politically charged campaign press release than an encyclopedia article, changing "the police of Trent Lott & Mitch McConnell" to "the Capitol Police", as it was the CP that performed the arrest. The original statement was lifted from a quote by Haddock herself, but no context was given... no quote marks or explanation. As written, it implied that Lott and McConnell had a kind of personal police force outside of the CP. DesScorp (talk) 22:50, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Legal name
I reverted my own edit regarding the scare quotes around her nickname/middle name. There's doesn't seem to be any question that "Granny D" became part of her legal name, but it seems to remain unresolved what full legal name that rendered. The article says she was born "Ethel Doris Rollins". She took her husband's name after marrying. Later in life she was affectionately known by the nickname "Granny D", and eventually petitioned a judge to legally change her middle name to Granny D, a request the judge approved. Apparently she never used her given name of "Ethel", being known as Doris Rollins and then Doris Haddock. Even though there are references for all of this, it's hard to piece them together without straying into OR-territory. I wonder if anyone has any better information about this.
