 * Hodgdon&#39;s secret garden consider this a gentle reminder that this is an encyclopedia, not a billboard or a fanzine.E.M.Gregory (talk) 23:03, 19 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you be serious? ... Perceiving the seriousness of your gentle reminders, sir or madam, let me say I'm actually not a genuine Westover fan, here. Well, per se. I mean, I'd not read her before contributing the lion's share of her WP blp stub nor have I since then. It's just that... my having noticed she'd become notable I had proceeded to access secondary sources about her and cite the same in the article recently created about her, that had been pinged for deletion. Whoa! Wait a mintute there!, I tell myself. Wow! Yes, it's true, E.M.Gregory, I admit it: Now I think about it I did listen to an interview or two of her.... Sure, I was claiming to myself that I was merely researching article content. Yeah, like a reader of Playboy loves the articles: obviously stinkin' thinkin of the fanzine addict if it's ever been seen, I'll tell you that. Yesiree. But this admission is my cry for your help. What in the aitch-eeh-double-toothpicks could such interviews have told me about whether this subject passes Notability_(people) that more traditional secondary sources could not have, I ask? I feel oh so ashamed!!! Please, those of the Wikipedia Community, perform an intervention. A noticeboard case? Not severe enough. Truly egregious behavior so detrimental to Wikpedia's mission requires a much stronger deterrent so please refer me to Wikipedia®/media/whatever Foundation's legal team and have me sent a cease and desist letter them open a federal case.... Wait a minute. Really? You think my mention an author-whose-WP-article's-been-pinged-for-deletion's book has been reviewed here, there and everywhere (Times of the London, the NYT, etc.) is a fan fanatic move? I'll fight this to the highest court in the country!--Hodgdon&#39;s secret garden (talk) 00:16, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

birthday inconsistency
the top of the article says she was born Sept 27, the quick data box says Sept 30. is there some doubt? 203.99.128.1 (talk) 01:34, 10 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Yes, in the book "Educated" by Tara Westover, the uncertainty over her date of birth is the subject of the better part of a chapter. 107.191.235.154 (talk) 22:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
