First, I object to my previous edit being labeled vandalism. It was not vandalism. The paragraph as written was out-of-place (but the re-written paragraph is somewhat more acceptable).

Second, surely there is some controversy whether Chase (or anyone else) actually suffers from multiple personalities. The article as written is overly credulous, apparently POV. Surely some mention of the controversy is in order. Phiwum 09:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Not on this article. It is linked to other articles which fully explore current beliefs about multiple personalities, MPD, and DID. To begin a discussion of the controversy in this article would be a digression. --Bluejay Young 18:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Date of Birth

I'd like to talk to whoever at 220.237.49.69 (Asia Pacific Network, Australia) put in Truddi's date of birth. I want to thank them, I am very glad to have it and I will work it into the article in the appropriate place. I won't ask where you got it, but I would like to know if you have other appropriate information that could go into the article. --Bluejay Young 18:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

According to Category_talk:Year_of_birth_missing, Truddi does not want her date of birth in the public domain. ("As long as I have known of her, Ms. Chase wouldn't give her exact date of birth.") Therefore, I am removing it. I have removed the day and month of birth and will remove the year of birth in 1 week's time unless someone can come up with a strong reason why it should remain.Tmrussell 10:10, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

The fact that Chase doesn't want it published is irrelevant. She became a public figure the moment she published that book, much less circulated the talk shows. However, the accuracy of the source is iffy, so leave it out. Doczilla 18:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

I'd say if they don't want their info published, even if the correct and verified information becomes available, leave it off and state that explicitly in the article. --Bluejay Young 04:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
