[edit] Mark Taylor link
The link to Mark Taylor goes to a disambiguation page. I don't know which Mark Taylor is the correct one, so could someone who does please correct the link? Thanks. Raven4x4x 08:53, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
This Mark Taylor doesn't have a page though I keep on coming across him). (Pally01 11:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC))
[edit] npov tag
I tagged it due to some of the language presented in the article that seems a bit too biased. Perhaps a "Criticisms" section is in order. Youngamerican 15:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Re-tagged
I definitely agree. A lot of far-reaching claims are made with weasel words and nearly zero sources are presented.
[edit] Clairfy
Could you please clairfy where the "biased" bits are?
[edit] I think...
I think the part "Youngamerican" was referring to is the bit at the end about her various television appearances and what others think of them.
[edit] Career
Just about zero sources and all "facts" controversial in nature. Needs a heck of a lot more evidence to protect the subject from what appears to be an animus. 69.87.160.7
[edit] Michael Richards
This entire section is incoherent.
- The first citation in it is missing as well. -- Craigtalbert 19:19, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

- I'm not even sure how you cite something that impossible to understand. Cite Derrida as a source, maybe? Deluze? BonniePrinceCharlie 19:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
This lady was on the adam corrola show and said she does not believe in free speech. She calls offensive speech 'hate speech' and wants it to be punishable if you say something that offends anyone. She says this is the basic underpinnings of the civil rights movement. Her views about this should be mentioned. -- byme
[edit] Edits
Why can't you edit this page?
[edit] Forced?
She was forced to return to her parents' home? How? With a gun? With a knife? We should probably just say "she returned to her parents' home".
A: "Forced" refers to financial circumstances and is idiomatic, as in "Since I wanted to eat, I was forced to get a job." 70.20.26.97 23:12, 19 February 2007 (UTC)Me
[edit] Protect?
This page has been vandalized. Looking at the history, does this page need to be protected again? Warped.reality 01:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removal of sourced content and addition of unsourced opinions
I've tried talking to get some sort of conversation started with Ciotech/Onerher on their talk page(s), but he/she doesn't seem to want to discuss his/her edits. Repeatedly removing cited material while replacing it with uncited opinions is not acceptable, especially while refusing to engage in any discussion. --Onorem♠Dil 12:56, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] My recent changes
[edit] Added
2 referenced comments.
- Craig Smith, a legal commentator, said in reference to her that "lawyers shouldn't try their cases in the media and Allred has tried far more cases in the media than she has ever tried in any courtroom." [1]
- When a reporter asked Jackson what he thought of Allred's complaints, he remarked "Ah, tell her to go to hell."[2] (which also includes the necessary citation for the previous paragraph.)
If you remove Smith's comment, please explain what reason you have for removing the cited quotation.
If you remove Jackson's response, at least keep the citation.
[edit] Removed
- allegedly told Mazzocchi that if she ever called the police he would have "every gangbanger in town looking to Kill (her)," the suit said.
I think that we already have enough detail on this topic. This article is about Gloria Allred, not all the specifics of a recent case.
If you want to add the additional information back in, at least keep the citation.
- Gloria Allred has gained world wide media recognition due to her relentless pursuit of truth and justice.
Just an unsourced opinion. Attribute it to someone if you want to put it back into the article.
That's it. That's the changes I made and the reasons I made them. Please reply here instead of just reverting me again. --Onorem♠Dil 13:35, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Third opinion. Remember, cited information must meet the reliave sources guidelines in order to be included in the article. [1] is a reputable source, but [2] is not, per WP:BLP, quoting "Material from self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source about a living person, including as an external link, unless written or published by the subject of the article (see below)." Hope this solves the dispute. Also, I have tagged the article with {{unreferencedsect}} and {{cleanup-section|August 2007}}, because the particular section read like a list of facts, rather than an article, and states unsourced statements. Hopefully you'll be able to clean this up, and make this a great article. — Scottjar → Talk 14:49, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] radio talkshow
- "She used to co-host a radio talkshow with Mark Taylor on KABC in Los Angeles."
That's true, but before that, she had her own show. Can't think how to add that info in smoothly, or of any sources. (She used the song "Gloria" when she was on by herself, but I can't think what intro she and Mark used when they were on together.) anon 07:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
