[edit]There are way too many. Killiondude (talk) 07:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Dates
[edit]The dates given for her birth and graduation from college show that she was only 19 when she graduated? That's unusual. I tried to find a source to verify this but can't find one. Can anyone provide a source for these dates?

- I have received personal correspondence from Ms. Jacoby and she reports her graduation date as 1965 (age 20). Still impressive! I've made the change in the article. Pseudovector (talk) 17:35, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Life
[edit]This article needs more about its subject's life aside from her career.--Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 19:12, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
- I concur. In particular, the statement about her atheism and secularism sits in the opening paragraph like a billboard in the middle of a clear open space. It is ugly, not in and of itself, but because it stands out. Let us relocate it to a section in the article body, where it will be in better harmony with its surroundings.

Online Articles
[edit]In addition to her books, should there also be a section concerning online articles she's written? Heather Chait (talk) 19:44, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Canard = hoax?
[edit]In the article it says that "Jacoby has argued that the idea of anti-Catholicism being a significant force in American life today is a canard," but do you have a citation for the definition of "canard" meaning "hoax"? Wiktionary does indeed say that a "canard" is something that is deliberately misleading, but it is not clear from the cited source whether, by using that word, Jacoby really intended to accuse her opponents of lying deliberately.

Detail
[edit]I want more detail about her early works, such as "Moscow Conversations". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.117.79.25 (talk) 14:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. --Guy Macon (talk) 05:11, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Actress of the same name
[edit]There is also Susan Jacoby, actress. Maybe most well known from Columbo An Exercise in Fatality,
