Ozzy and Sharon separation

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Name confusion

Latest comment: 1 year ago3 comments3 people in discussion

In the "family" folder it randomly states "Osborne died after battling Parkinson's July 2025" and makes it seem as if Sharon herself died of Parkinson's and not her husband Ozzy. I think it should at least say "Sharon's husband Ozzy Osbourne" died 2601:247:447F:5C70:4585:1D43:8E67:C086 (talk) 13:12, 24 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

That sentence does not seem to have any relevance to the paragraph, and likely needs to either be moved elsewhere in the article or removed completely. 2601:18C:9281:E4C0:4D90:2EF6:3A5E:C5ED (talk) 16:03, 31 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

(Sorry for changing the title "Family" here, in case that breaks something.)

The same confusion reigns in the section "Early Life", where "Levy" and "Osbourne" are used, and it takes more than a little study to find out if it’s about her or her father/husband.

I would prefer using "Sharon" everywhere, but I know that’s not the common way it’s done on Wikipedia, so that’s why I’m asking here. There must be some guidelines for which names to use in such situations, but I don’t want to spend half a day looking for them in the unwieldy Wikipedia help library, to be honest.Geke (talk) 09:05, 30 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not obvious who 'he' is

Latest comment: 11 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion

"Arden resented his daughter for dating Ozzy and managing his career. In her memoir, Osbourne relates that he had robbed her, once tried to kill her, and once told Ozzy that she had tried to seduce him, to turn Ozzy against her. She soon lost contact with her father and did not speak to him for 20 years"

It is not entirely clear whether this quote refers to Ozzy, or Arden. It would be bring clarity to make this obvious. 92.40.215.101 (talk) 17:29, 3 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
