[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:26, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

I would love to see a few Phyllis Diller quotes, please. --Maikel 11:32, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

It would be much better if we could load sound files with that screechy voice and cackle ... - DavidWBrooks 13:25, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Why did you remove this interesting quote?

According to Peter Whitmer's book, The Inner Elvis: A Psychological Biography of Elvis Aaron Presley, Phyllis Diller said that if Elvis Presley's twin had lived, I am sure that he "would have been gay." Onefortyone 19:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Because it was peripheral, silly and confusing. It comes out of nowhere - why would she say that? what connection does it have to her life? her beliefs? anything all all? - and adds nothing to the article. The reason to put in a quote would be to cast light on Phyllis Diller's character, her humor or her personality. - DavidWBrooks 00:10, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death

After undoing four straight joking vandalisms and finally blocking the anon IP, I'm going to be very embarrassed if Phyllis Diller *does* die of avian flu in Paris! - DavidWBrooks 21:48, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fanclub

The one linked has SIX members.

[edit] Adult swim

phyllis lended her voice on an episode of robot chicken on adult swim, should someone add it to the tv listings? --mike 03:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Code

Someone, in their infinite wisdom (sarcasm intended) saw fit to change the image code--so that the image did not appear. I changed it back to the correct name of the image: Phyllis diller 2-25-2007.jpg If it ain't broke ....MrEguy | ♠♥♣♦ 06:49, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St. Louis Walk of Fame

why is she on the st. louis walk of fame. the article suggests that it is for spending money on plastic surgery. Was it done in st. louis or something? DaronDierkes (talk) 02:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
