 * I understand that (as this article, and several other BLPs) have been on my watchlist for a while because they are targets for all sorts of nonsense. However, it took me less than 10 seconds to find a suitable link to verify that she is Catholic. Her article has been a persistent magnet for a specific sort of vandalism (look at the edit history for specifics, particularly the edits I have reverted), and this is very small potatoes compared with the nonsense that needs to be kept out. Instead of a drive-by tagging, why not take a few seconds and cite it? As I said, I had no idea that particular item was something that would be challenged, considering some of the more incendiary garbage that has been stuffed into her article in the past.

 * Because Wikipedia does not require an editor who tags something as unsourced to find the source. Instead of griping about a legitimate cn tag, why not just source it and move on? And it's my fault that the article has a history of vandalism? Please. Cresix (talk) 03:19, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
