This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
To add an “end=died” parameter (or something similar, such as the phrase “her death” following the text “1985-2012”) within a template documenting the years Dr. Ride was in a romantic partnership with Tam O'Shaughnessy in the article’s infobox, for clarification purposes, as the pair never separated; Dr. Ride died in 2012 from cancer. The absence of this parameter could inaccurately lead some readers to assume the relationship ended, when it didn’t.

She died in San Diego. The La Jolla neighborhood. Shouldn't we list her death as in San Diego for simplicity of people reading from a glance. Most people outside of California don't know what La Jolla is. ~2026-29162-10 (talk) 00:56, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

Substantial writing about her salary in § After NASA seems like a non-standard detail to include. Is there some contextual relevance to it here in the article or commentary to make other than the simple fact for WP:PROPORTIONal coverage? The cited ref seems to be primary about the move to that position, so in the context of that news story it is, but "the move" is only a minor aspect of the position and the position is only barely discussed here in the WP article.

A lot of personal and relationship info sprinkled across this bio page. I am willing to do/suggest edits, but I'd like to know if others agree that many of the comments about the state of her marriage or who she dated in college belong in a Personal Life section, not in her career profile. I think it's inappropriate, draws attention away from other significant aspects of her life and sometimes borders on a gossipy tone that doesn't belong here. I also noticed several of those references are from a single biography written by a journalist. This creates concern if the reader doesn't know whether the "source" biography is quoting facts, which have been verified, or just the way the biographer saw it at the time. I believe it's source #2? Thoughts on adding a PL section? MandieJ1975 (talk) 17:14, 26 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
I would strongly object. Moving this material into a personal life would obfuscate important points and make the article much harder to understand. Effectively forcing Ride back into the closet posthumously. Lynn Sherr is not only an award-winning journalist, but was a close friend of Ride who guarded her secrets.
