The user, ImmortalGoddezz, is an ASA who posts here infrequently under the same (or, just about the same) screenname. You could probably PM or email her and she would clean up that page to just say that Reese is not a GPhiB, and there is not a reliable source that says she is.

Thanks so much, I'll do that.

I got a detailed response from ImmortalGoddezz, and to sum it up, talk pages really shouldn't be edited or cleaned up.

IMO, I think talk pages look bad because it sits right at the top of the entry and makes it seem as though Gamma Phi as an org is mixed up about things. I think that mistakes could be corrected without a talk page, but in this case if ImmortalGoddezz erased her information, information from other users on the talk page would remain, and that would make it look even worse.

I think it boils down to someone at IH monitoring the page and correcting mistakes as they happen.

Might be more work than it's worth, but would it possibly help disspell the rumor if IH were to contact her spokesperson/publicist to get a statement indicating that she is not a member? And then making the statement public?

Maybe I'm asking too much, but it's ridiculous sometimes how people make things up.

If you're going to go that far, you might as well have them ask her to AI as well.

Feel free to post the logic I used in this post if anyone would like to add it to the Wikipedia page.

It really doesn't belong on the Wiki page.
