[edit] Dyke or Dike

It seems that both spellings of this word are legitimate but it seems we should standardize on a single one. When first reading the page I had thought it was vandalized till I checked to see that "dyke" was indeed a proper variant of "dike". 63.73.225.234 17:28, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The image in the infobox needs to be replaced with one of a younger, more attractive Jane Fonda, not one of her in her 50s signing books.Fistful of Questions 04:33, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

how about the anti-aircraft gun one Furiouszebra 07:36, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] time, distance, Internet

Theres something wrong with "The POW camp visits [1972] also lead to persistent stories - widely circulated on the Internet and via email [ca. 1990s]" that requires that section to be rewritten to put it into context. -Ste|vertigo 01:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christian or Buddhist?

The intro paragraph claims that she has been Buddhist since 2001. Later, under "Christianity", it claims that she became a Christian in 2001. Which is it? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.210.147.94 (talk) 18:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Wow

What a bunch of left-leaning POV crap. Articles like this drag down what Wikipedia aspires to be. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.242.30.129 (talk • contribs).

  • You dont't like it? Then fix it. Mieciu K 00:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Constructive criticism of articles is what Wikipedia needs. Calling anything "crap" here serves no useful purpose. Furthermore, I don't see any bias here for her or against her, just a lot of verifiable historical information, that is commonly known by her supporters and detractors alike. T.E.

[edit] Fonda and the Dykes

Fonda’s trip to Vietnam inAugust 22, 1972, where she made the allegation that the US was attacking the Red River dyke, despite Tom Haden’s commentary, was little more than a Potemkin style show, courtesy of her tour guides.

Although several targets on the dykes were attacked (AA artillery and the like) the US never attacked the dyke system, because had they really meant to destroy it, it would have been destroyed. The damage she saw was from non bombing related flooding, as the civilian population that would normally maintain these were involved in other war related efforts. The article Bombing of Vietnam's dikes, has more information including sources for this (among them Seymour Hersh). Torturous Devastating Cudgel 21:33, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] jane fonda's ancestry

whereas in the wikipedia it is stated that Henry Fonda has distant Italian ancestry. Jane herself on a several visits to the Netherlands stated that their family's roots lie in the north of the Netherlands in the Province of Friesland. The Fonda name like so many Friesian names end on -a (compare Buwalda, Wiersma etc.). Jane herself stated on one of her visits that the first name Douwe appears a lot in their family. Which is a typical Friesian first name. Also she stated that whenever she visits the Netherlands, she goes up to Friesland to trace her roots. 86.42.29.38 16:04, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
