Date rape allegation
User: 51.9.221.57 has been removing and continuously reverting a cited reference to the date rape allegation regarding Loretta Young from the article without discussing it. I think an argument can be made that it is appropriate to include it in that section because of the year it happened. But three separate editors have restored the cited text and there isn’t consensus for removing it. The contentious edit needs to be discussed on the talk page before it is reverted again.

Bogus Citation
In this paragraph about his WW2 service: Gable spent most of 1943 in England at RAF Polebrook with the 351st Bomb Group. Gable flew five combat missions, including one to Germany, as an observer-gunner in B-17 Flying Fortresses between May 4 and September 23, 1943, earning the Air Medal and the Distinguished Flying Cross for his efforts.[93] During one of the missions, Gable's aircraft was damaged by flak and attacked by fighters, which knocked out one of the engines and shot up the stabilizer. In the raid on Germany, one crewman was killed and two others were wounded, and flak went through Gable's boot and narrowly missed his head. When word of this reached MGM, studio executives began to badger the Army Air Forces to reassign its most valuable screen actor to noncombat duty. In November 1943, Gable returned to the United States to edit his film, on an old Warner's lot donated to the war effort, assigned to the 18th AAF Base Unit (Motion Picture Unit) at Culver City, California, where other stars contributed with any film equipment they had as well.[94]
The link takes you to an Air & Space magazine article titled World War II: The Movie. That article actually only mentions Gable's name once and that in connection with him joining the film unit. There doesn't seem to be a citation of the mission where his fellow crewman were wounded and killed.John Simpson54 (talk) 02:01, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Gable's First Name
If Gable was given the first name William because his father's first name was William, yet his father went by the nickname Will, how does it make any sense to claim "Gable was named Bill after his father...."? I'm changing "Bill" to "William". Jersey Jan (talk) 13:17, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
defibrillator?
Articel says "Medical staff did not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation for fear that the procedure would rupture Gable's heart, and a defibrillator was not available."
However, defibrillators are not used to treat heart attacks. 71.128.242.202 (talk) 00:50, 24 May 2025 (UTC)
