Talk:Linda Evans

Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:30, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Miscellaneous section
The miscellaneous section should be removed since it is a trivia section whose text has no relevance to the subject in question, and the text can therefore not be be woven into the article. Talsurrak (talk) 21:34, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Evel Knievel jump
The fact Linda Evans filmed Knievel's famous 1967 crash at Caesar's Palace has been widely reported. I used the official Knievel website as the source, but there are undoubtedly others around if someone wants to add another source. 68.146.64.9 (talk) 16:58, 4 December 2010 (UTC) Don't know about adding ANOTHER source, but maybe replacing your with another, possibly this one; [http://www.tnt.tv/title/?oid=541701-5887 1968	On Jan. 1 at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas, Knievel clears the 150-foot-long fountains but crashes on landing, putting him in a coma for 30 days. Famous footage of the jump was shot by Linda Evans and John Derek.] There are others, but that's an interesting fact I hadn't heard before until you put that there.

Idiopathic edema. What is this?
I have never heard or read this term. Usually, liver or renal (kidney) or heart diseases cause generalized oedema (on legs and /or ascites). Malnutrition (marasmus)is another casuse. Idiopathic means without a clear cause. Perhaps it means lymphedema688dim (talk) 00:27, 9 December 2012 (UTC)


 * *Idiopathic* is a medical term meaning a cause cannot be found for whatever is ailing someone. *Idiopathic edema* would mean she has developed swelling somewhere, but the causes you mentioned (in addition to everything else that causes water retention or blood pooling) have all been ruled out as the reason for it, & doctors don't know why she's experiencing it. It doesn't *perhaps* mean anything else but what it says it means. Lymphedema isn't exactly the sort of thing that would go unnoticed, considering the article's wording implies this has been a problem for her since 1985.

Wrong link
The page Outline_of_terrorism_in_the_United_States has a person called Linda Evans that links to this article, which should be removed or fixed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.164.113.6 (talk) 17:56, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
