Her home[edit]

Dorthea Puentes house was not at 2100 block...it was in fact 1426 f street. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.174.53.169 (talk) 23:01, 27 August 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Dorothea did live at 2100 f street years prior to the murders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.78.162.28 (talk) 00:46, 11 November 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I concur, it was on F St between 14th and 15th where she operated her "home". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.98.196.2 (talk) 18:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The home at 1426 F St does not have a back yard. The location where the bodies were buried was the side yard which is now a paved drive way. Why this is an important distinction, is that the side yard is absolutely visible from the front of the house and from the two other homes that look onto the space, both of which are second story structures.

This boilerplate really needs to be revised so that mere mortals can understand what it means. Tkotc (talk) 00:30, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dorothea Puente Image[edit]

The Dorothea Puente image is a copyrighted image. No "fair use" exists. User "Richard Arthur Norton" can continue to revert, but that goes both ways. I can always contact the copyright holder and inform them that Wikipedia is violating their copyright. Sorry, Richard, I understand your position on copyrighted images, but the facts are it's not a "fair use" image. NEXT... =//= Johnny Squeaky 15:32, 24 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnny Squeaky (talk • contribs)

Every new image is copyrighted under US law by default, except those taken by US government employees in their capacity as a government worker, and a few other exceptions. You misunderstand the concept of fair-use, it isn't granted by the copyright holder. It isn't my policy, it is both Wikipedia policy and the law of the United States under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. You can read the ruling of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California in Lenz v. Universal Music Corp. on fair use.

This is a copyrighted image for sale for actual MONEY by it's legal copyright holder. How can it get any more simple than that? Has Wikipedia purchased the right to use it? I think not. =//= Johnny Squeaky 20:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Marriage to Puente[edit]

“ In 1968, Gray married Roberto Jose Puente. After sixteen months, the couple separated, with Gray citing domestic abuse as the main cause. In 1967, she attempted to serve him with a divorce petition,”

I do not think you can attempt to serve someone with a divorce petition a year before you marry them. Karassduprass (talk) 15:31, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
