Indian Kiddie marriages
editNo Indian kiddie marriages should be listed.  A marriage is between a man and a woman not between two 3 year old kids. 2600:1015:A022:2D41:BF4:37BE:3C0E:47D (talk) 20:36, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
Ron Golighty died 2021
editGOLIGHTLY Ronald (Ron) On 23rd December peacefully at home aged 101 years, Dearly beloved husband of Beryl for 80 years. 109.245.111.113 (talk) 23:35, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Photo Incorrectly Captioned
editThe photo of Herbert Fisher Sr. and Zelmyra Fisher is dated 1924 and claims to be their wedding photo. However, the clothing and hairstyles, photo quality, and older appearance of the couple suggest the date is incorrect and this was not taken on their wedding day. The photo is sourced from the gerontology fandom wiki, where it’s undated, and I can’t find more information with a reverse image search. Should the caption be simplified to just identifying the couple? 2603:7000:61F0:8970:95BF:33F6:7F91:EA9A (talk) 04:09, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, rewrite the caption --it is misleading and it is absolutely not from 1924---more like 1950s, early 60s/ 70.23.42.95 (talk) 13:04, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
