Talk:Sylvia Chase

Infobox
I added her infobox, but it was removed by the article creator (Yngvadottir) because Chase "had a long and rich career, don't reduce it to a box. Google already has a box." Never heard of such reasoning. —  Wylie pedia  @ 23:00, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Infoboxes are optional, and particularly likely to be contentious for people; they tend to over-emphasize minutiae or force decisions as to what a person is "known for". (And please don't tell me "emitting metadata" for the convenience of machines skimming our content is desirable; as I said in my edit summary, Google already had a box, they don't need any help at all aggregating information in machine-readable form.)
 * While I have your attention, what's the source for that middle name? I find a 1940 census transcription at ancestry.com (no guarantee it's the correct Sylvia Chase, although it's the correct state and I suppose their transcriptions are reliable) and IMDb. IMDb illustrates in this case why we can't rely on it by giving an otherwise unreported marriage for her. Do you have a source for the middle name other than these two? I am also not sure she died in Belvedere; since she had reportedly recently been treated for brain cancer, she may well have died in a hospital or a hospice; but I may have missed "at home" in one of the obituaries. And you may well have found sources I have not; I've been looking for more information on what exactly she received the awards for, and on the American ex-wife/Serbian ex-husband story mentioned in one source. I've noted two books to get next time I'm at a college library, and have hopes from them, but Google News Archive has let me down badly. Yngvadottir (talk) 23:19, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
