Let's try to discuss rather than editing over the top of one another and an edit war starting up, please. Obviously, things are going to change rapidly as news of her death gets out. As far as I can tell, the best references are the most local to Rule's home and family. Her daughter states she died on the 21st, a local news station states she was 84 at the time of her death and was born in October 1930. That seems the most accurate so far. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:00, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Recent research states Rules DOB Oct. 22, 1931, and DOD as July 26, 2015. Which still places her at age 84 time of death.<source IMDB>
See the following for correct date of death: [1]. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:16, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
( edit conflict):My apologies, the day of death has changed. There are times when I really, really hate the media for posting things with certainty, and then reposting "corrections" when they should have gotten it right the first time. I guess this is a lesson learned when it comes to internet news. Ugh. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:18, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
InedibleHulk, this source says in big, bold letters "October 1930 - July 2015". If her birth date was October 22, 1930, then yes - she was 84 at the time of her death, had not yet reached her 85th birthday this October. Your edit warring over this needs to stop. Your edit summary "It's a Facebook graphic, not reliable. The person who Photoshopped it probably checked Wikipedia." means nothing as we have no way of knowing where the news station got the content. But, since it's local to the area Rule lived and worked, they probably have the information from the daughter. Even so, guessing where they got it is speculation on your part. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 22:44, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
For now, I've added three sources, each indicate a different birth year, and have added wording to that effect. I've see this done at other articles when birth dates are unclear. We will know for sure when an official obituary (as submitted by the family) is published. Likely will be published by the mortuary handling her after-death details, burial, etc. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:24, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
We have a new editor edit warring over the birth year, even with the embedded notes in place. They are removing them and insisting they are right about the birth year - refusing to take part in talk page discussion. If someone would like to take over in the reverting department should this continue, please do. I'm over the limit. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 04:44, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
This is not only an interesting compilation of Rule's life, it's interesting to note that even the writer states there is confusion surrounding her birth year. That said, at this point, it seems most reliable sources I've found agree on October 22, 1931 as her birth date. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:26, 29 July 2015 (UTC)

The "Family troubles, theft" section is nearly all copied & pasted verbatim from the HuffPo article cited as its source. Thought that sort of thing wasn't allowed on Wikipedia? (Just as an aside, it's BS that the charges against those greedy brats of hers were dropped because she died.) ScarletRibbons ( talk) 20:55, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
