I have classified this article as a start. It needs a bit of work on presentation and sourcing needs to be improved. A picture and an infobox would be useful. Capitalistroadster 23:27, 14 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Someone needs to rewrite the entire article. Almost all of the biographical information up to her death is copied directly from Billy Graham's website.[1] Usually I delete all copied material from such an article, but that would leave almost nothing, and out of respect for Mrs. Graham, I have left it alone for now.

I didn't think much of the excessive quotation either. I also think the section on her passing should not overshadow her life's work. Rklawton 01:46, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

The Biography section at present is all copyvio (as well as unsourced). I'm going to restore a previous version until we can sort this out. Rklawton 02:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

I have rewritten the article adding sources mainly obituaries. Capitalistroadster 11:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Also, awkward paragraph listing her works at beginning of article needs to be removed. This function is served by bibliography section toward end. Uninitiated observer 8/5/10 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.48.112.158 (talk) 18:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Ruth Graham. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070926221728/http://www.billygraham.org/mediaRelations/pressReleases.asp?pr=203&src=6 to http://www.billygraham.org/mediaRelations/pressReleases.asp?pr=203&src=6

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
