Honestly, the current version seems as good as it has been in some time. As I mentioned in summery, the marriage issue can only be taken one way: the last article that gives any status is the one referenced, which specifically states they are married. Whether she's wearing the ring is irrelevant, as we don't know the situation surrounding that action. Remember, WP:OR. Other than that, POV isn't rearing its head with this version, which is good. I'd like to see this article stay protected for a good long time (read, indefinitely). Given that there is relatively little information about Skinner available, any changes could be placed in Talk and included in the article later. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 19:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree; Wikipedia's verifiability policy is not being fulfilled by the editors who seek to include the information about Skinner being separated. I think The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it sums it up. However, I don't agree with Huntster that the article should be protected or semi-protected indefinitely; that's not really in keeping with the spirit of Wikipedia and (IMO) should only be reserved for vandalism magnets like George W. Bush and the like. -Big Smooth 14:16, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
