Talk:Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal

Brother or ex-husband
This woman is described as having once been married to Eric Foner. However, on Maggie Gyllenhaal's entry, Eric Foner is listed as her uncle. I don't think both can be correct.


 * most sources say brother. the only vaguely official thing in support of the ex-husband argument i can find is this . She mentions having lost a brother to cancer in her blog (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-foner/terminator-in-deed_b_12196.html) but Eric Foner's still alive right? This source (http://www.columbiaspectator.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2003/11/21/3fbdf5683a759?template=pda) from the Columbia spectator says she graduated in 1966 and that ""Foner is another member of one of Columbia's most famous families, which includes her brother Eric, a professor of history". Anyone got anything better? I'm inclinded to belive Columbia.

Eric Foner is her ex-husband, not her brother. I'm editing the relevant articles using a letter from Eric Foner to the Columbia Daily Spectator, which corrected them after they made the same error, as a source. Calindigo

I've met Eric Foner, Naomi Foner and Jake Gyllenhaal and have discussed their relationships with Naomi and Jake. Eric Foner is Naomi's ex-husband. After their divorce she married Steven Gyllenhaal. Jake and Maggie are their children and are not related to Prof. Foner at all. When he was a high school senior Jake told me he'd never even met Prof. Foner, though they may have met later when Jake was a Columbia undergrad. Maggie also went to Columbia and likely met Prof. Foner there for the first time, but I don't know this for a fact.

Why does Wikipedia insist on using this erroneous naming convention?
Wikipedia insist on calling married women by the convention 'Firstname Herfamilyname Hisfamilyname'. Nowhere else is she credited as such. Having her credited like this is misleading and erroneous. I don't understand Wikipedia's agenda here. NorthernThunder (talk) 20:51, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
