Self-contradictory sentence

This sentence says his second wife was both 22 and 23 when he married her:

"Livermore married 22-year old Dorothea (Dorothy) Fox Wendt, a 23-year-old former Ziegfeld ..." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Halidecyphon (talk • contribs) 03:20, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Link

First link refers to ‘Brandi Love’ some porn star who is apparently the subjects granddaughter. I suppose this is relevant, but the link is not used anywhere in the article. 5.148.149.200 (talk) 17:03, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

Granddaughter or Great-granddaughter?

Last sentence under the "Marriages" subheading indicates that adult film actress Brandi Love is his "granddaughter," which is supported by the source cited. However, while possible, that seems unlikely based on his 1877 DOB. Further, her own Twitter (https://twitter.com/brandi_love) heading currently states "Jesse L Livermore is my Great Grandfather". Would her Twitter content be considered an appropriate source in this case? I haven't located another published source to replace the existing citation. Oh, and the relationship fact is shown in the Infobox, but conflicts with the main text, reading "great granddaughter" Chachap (talk) 08:58, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Could her family tree be researched? The exact relationship of this person with the subject would be useful. 2601:647:5800:7D80:172:2005:2FF5:6F1F (talk) 06:20, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Use of "Pornographic"

Again, re. his descendent Brandi Love: She is labeled as a "pornographic actress." I'm changing that to "adult film performer and erotic content entrepreneur" to be more in line with a WP:NPOV description (and is also backed by the source). Chachap (talk) 09:48, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

She is a pornographic actress. POV would be calling her something like a ‘cheap whore’. This change reads like the sort of thing someone would write when padding a resume. Which is what it is; no wonder it is ‘backed by the source’. Reccomend going back to the original neutral description. 2601:647:5800:7D80:172:2005:2FF5:6F1F (talk) 06:19, 10 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
