[edit] Dispute

The Oprah Winfrey article states that the midwife transposed the "r" and the "p" when writing the birth certificate. This article states that the name was mispronounced so much that the parents decided to change it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cluster (talk • contribs) 12:58 April 16, 2006.

06/02/06 Confirmation of the dispute. I just watched the Oprah Winfrey show and she said exactly as above. The midwife mispelled "Orpah."—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.214.253.30 (talk • contribs) 17:01 June 2, 2006.

Does Oprah Winfrey have to be mentioned here? Doesn't it make more sense to leave it only in her own article? -- Avi 14:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I think it makes sense to include it in both articles. It's not like we are starved for room or something. Orpah is related to Orpah, so both articles should be related to eachother. Simple as that -- GIR 20:33, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

She is mentioned. The "trivia" you quote is contradicted by Oprah's own interview. See the Oprah Winfrey article where I cited both. Let's leave the link, and keep the cpntroversy where it belongs. Just because there is extra space doesn't mean we should fill it with very tangetial items. There is a link to the proper section in "See also", that should be sufficient. -- Avi 01:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] attention
