There are a number of unsubstantiated claims that need to be sourced or deleted. - Ted Wilkes 20:21, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- That is not a factual accuracy dispute. I'm no expert on her, but I believe the article is basically correct. The tag is inappropriate and I will remove it. Calsicol 19:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
- What about her death? The Notable Names Database lists heart failure, while this article lists pulmonary edema. But beyond that, this article has no external links or cites any sources. I'm adding unreferenced. Hbdragon88 05:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
- This article is completely unsourced and contains POV. Flagging for cleanup.

==Christina Onassis==
No sources, lots of speculation and bias (e.g. "...she was an akward-looking child. At the age of seventeen, she had plastic surgery to shrink her nose and remove the dark rings under her eyes." I don't have any suggestions on where to find this information, but it sounds as if it was copied from a tabloid (unsourced statements like, "Christina always knew..." or "Roussel...insisted Christina stay thing..") Uses passive language to imply a source when there is none: "Experts say that her premature death was caused by constant prescription drug abuse and dramatic changes in weight." "Some say that she died from taking dangerous slimming drugs, others suggest it was too many sleeping pills."

[edit] ALEXANDROS
Please, notice that the Greek for Alexander is Alexandros! English-speaking peoples often don't care about the right spelling, but I think that translating first names is uncorrect.
[edit] Minor clean up

[edit] Accuracy of Biographies
I've got a problem. I've looked in a book on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, checking the index for Christina Onassis. The author makes clamims about Christian Onassis. The bio blurb on the flap says the author is a historian. I can cite the book as a source to support the claims made about Christina, but he book doesn't cite sources so why should I believe it?
"America's Queen: the Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis" by Saran Bradford, ISBN 0-670-89191-6 P338
- "Their mutual dislike of Jackie drew the Onassis children closer together. Christina, two years younger than Alexander, was a sad figure, longing only for the approbation of her father, who largely ignored her. When Tina was pregnant with her daughter, Onassis had beaten her so savagely that there was blood on the carpet. He had hoped to cause Tina to lose her chold. Christina was born unwanted. While Alexander was handsome in his way, and attractive to women, Christina resembled her father rather than her pretty, slim, youthful mother. She had beautiful dark eyes and looked attractive or not, according to her mood swings. She suffered from drepressions and a deep sense of being unloved, which resulted in binges of chocolate and Diet Coke."
Some of this claims seem to require getting inside people's minds to determine. On the other hand the author didn't get sued so maybe there is support for the claims somewhere. RJFJR 03:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
