Mother’s name misspelled
Her name should be Annunziata, not Annunciata. She was born in Italy. Annunciata is not correct in Italian (or any other language).Lauretano (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2020 (UTC)
- Find sources to support your corrected spelling - the source given spells it with a C. Names were frequently anglicized or just plain changed on arrival for immigrants, so what is linguistically correct doesn't necessarily translate to real life. Acroterion (talk) 18:13, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

And so forth. There are many other sources. Italian wiki got it right. Lauretano (talk) 05:24, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- Find us some English sources - Italian sources may have inadvertently corrected what they might have perceived as a misspelling. Ideally, we would cite writing by Pelosi herself, who would be in a position to know if the spelling is correct, or whether an immigration officer changed the spelling when she arrived. Other sources might be contemporary Baltimore papers.Acroterion (talk) 13:13, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

Mother's birthplace incorrect
According to this source, in English, she was born in 1909 in Fornelli, not Campobasso: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/50263873/annunciata-m_-d_alesandro Fornelli is also given in the Ellis Island entry from 1912, also in English. https://www.libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiMTAwOTM1MDMwMDk3Ijs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7Lauretano (talk) 20:36, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
- N.B. Note that these are both American sources, highly reliable, and in the English language. Elsewhere in Wikipedia Fornelli is given correctly.Lauretano (talk) 19:51, 19 February 2020 (UTC)
- And per what I posted above (and what you found, the same thing), you are correct about Fornelli, which is near Campobasso, at least. I think we can find a way to incorporate that. It's clear, though, that she used Annunciata rather than Annunziata, unless the Baltimore Sun and her grave marker are both wrong. Please keep in mind that in genealogy, spellings can change wildly over time, at least outside of Italy. Acroterion (talk) 01:58, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
Leader of the Democratic Party
User:Drdpw Pelosi has been described as the de facto leader of the Democratic Party by a variety of sources,[1][2][3] so why this is not in the article?(The Sr Guy (talk) 04:14, 25 February 2020 (UTC))
