This page states that she decided to become an actress at the age of six when her sister got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. That would be 1981 given Sara's birth year of 1975. However, her sister didn't get her star until 1985, when Sara was 10. I do not know which is correct but I am removing that sentence until the truth is verified Rs180216 ( talk) 06:44, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
An IP editor has recently questioned referring to Gilbert's recent child as "their" child, in regard to Gilbert and Perry. Under California law, the spouse of a woman who gives birth is legally a parent (see this discussion.) So yes, it's their child. We don't limit the possessive on children to biological parents (see any discussion of an adopted child, for example.) -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 15:17, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
An editor has repeatedly tried to delete the listing of Adler as a partner (with dates for the period of partnership), saying "this section is for current relationships or former wives/husbands not ex girlfriends". I know of no policy for that, and the relationship with Adler is significant, as they had children together. As such, I've restored that content. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 14:16, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
"If particularly relevant, or if the partner is notable; "partner" here means unmarried life partners (of any gender or sexual preference), not business partner."I would assume the plural "partners" to mean multiple partners if they are relevant or otherwise notable, so that would include ex-life partners. In this case, both qualifications are met, as Adler was presumably a relevant life partner since they established a family with children, as well as being independently notable.

He didn't say anything about Gilbert and Adler being business partners (and Gilbert and Adler have never been business partners anyway.) The brave celery ( talk) 03:25, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
What I did was not important. Do not remove my comment (and that's not me being self-absorbed, that's Wikipedia policy anyway.) But what the quoted policy above said was that the Partners section is for romantically involved people of any sexual preference, not business partners. Whether the information concerning business partners was just left in there or whether the editor thought that Gilbert and Allison Adler were business partners is unclear to me, but they are not and never were partners in the "business partner" sense of the word.

An editor (presumably one, it's a series of IPs) has been repeatedly inserting the descriptor "comedian". This is unsourced, and is usually used to refer to stand-up artists, which is not something we have sourcing on for Gilbert. Even if they mean a comedic actor, this would be a subset of how we already describe her, not an "and". Multiple named users have reverted this change. Please do not re-add until you find consensus for such an addition on this talk page. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 01:51, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
A move discussion at Talk:Sarah Gilbert (scientist) has been started, with the intent of moving the article Sarah Gilbert (scientist) to Sarah Gilbert, which is at the moment a redirect to this article. Thank you. -- Ted Edwards 22:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
