[edit] Adjective order

The point you're missing is that "former" modifies only "figure skater", not "Tonya Harding", or "American". The Economist's style guide[1] includes a very similar example: "Ex- (and former): be careful. A Communist ex-member has lost his seat; an ex-Communist member has lost his party." An American ex-skater is an American who no longer skates; but an ex-American skater is a skater who is no longer American. Dr.frog 02:42, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jennifer Anniston

Hi, David! I see that Jennifer won the GLAAD media award. But she's not known for her LGBT activism at all, and the GLAAD award is the only mention in the article. The category is for people like Urvashi Vaid who are known specifically for their activism. Thanks for your input! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Yet, David won't accept the fact that Jethro Tull do qualify as an LGBT musical group despite Dee Palmer's leaving of the band as an official member. She has still worked with them for years. Go figure.
