If there is someone who's skilled at uploading photos (I never got the hang of it myself), please add one of Pam to the article. Remember to follow Wiki's upload image policy. -- Pinko1977 03:00, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

The Wiki List of Suicides includes Pamela Courson. Was her heroin overdose a suicide, or was it accidental?
Hi i'm editing this because Pam dated Arthur Lee of The Band "Love" also signed to Elektra Records, I doubt she dated Manzarek. Jim was Obsessed by Arthur Lee and used to always turn up at Love gigs on the sun set strip. 05:26, 28 January 2007 84.68.142.108 Moved by nut-meg 05:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Did Morrison's parents end up with anything?
I don't understand the reference www.swinginchicks.com/pamela_morrison.htm Its in here for nearly a year. But the link target seems to be removed. I better also remove the reference. -- 80.171.10.130 ( talk) 00:17, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm restoring a paragraph from a previous edit. The first words are "Eve Babitz." It is sourced. Feel free to remove it if you like. Newcastleind ( talk) 05:13, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Non sequitur. I've read several Discussion pages and I haven't seen anyone explain his or her own screen name, much less ask someone else about his or hers. Your "incarnation" comment is a little strange, so I'm going to gamble that my error regarding the list of footnotes is the real reason you reverted my edit. I'll try to get it right this time.

I did more than make an effort to rewrite the content. I added the headline of the Esquire article: "The Second Coming of Jim Morrison." Read more carefully. If you find what you're doing tiresome, you don't have to do it. You seem to be overthinking this. It's interesting that you don't object to the changes I made to Mark Herron and Nathanael West.

I'm keeping my statements as concise as possible. Trying not to overthink this. I am not the sockpuppet you are imagining. You're ignoring what I said about Nathanael West and Mark Herron. Maybe you're not very interested in them. Newcastleind ( talk) 09:57, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
Blowback from the super-clandestine "image police" rally I have referred to in earlier edits is here, y'all! All images are fair game for image deletionists, and it seems that only one non-free image is allowed per page (apparently: NFCC rules #3[a] and #8, so vaguely worded, continue to allow for death squads to roam the WP landscape unchecked). So, we've got to pick an image for Pamela here (one out of two). I uploaded both of them (since no image existed before, probably deleted in a previous "pogrom" of images). I opt for the one of Pam and Jim, rather than the one "chosen" of just Pam. Pam was famous and notable because of Jim, so why not have that pic in her Infobox? Anyone?

It states in this article that Pamela Courson attended Capistrano Valley High School for her senior year rather than returning to Orange High School. This is quite literally impossible as CVHS was not even built and opened until 1977, three years after Pamela passed away and long after her senior year of high school. I just thought someone ought to edit that. I am new to this and don't want to edit the article and mess something up. Just a heads up though. That info is clearly false. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.5.195.248 ( talk) 04:44, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
At the bottom of the article under the "external links" list there is one entitled: Investigative Findings on the Death of Jim Morrison. This is a bogus link that someone has either hijacked somehow, or is intentionally misleading people to for advertisement. The links real address is: http://www.subcin.com/chaos.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.2.205.116 ( talk) 06:02, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
they are often making such strange decisions! Ricky59 from Austria — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.47.252.59 ( talk) 15:33, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
... which is Wonderland Avenue. I added to the article details from author Danny Sugerman about how deeply Pamela Courson became addicted to heroin after Morrison's death. She was concerned about law enforcement's possible knowledge of her smuggling drugs in her car.
Also, I added the words "loud arguments" to the section about her marriage to Morrison. Prior to my adding this, the article cited "infidelities" as the only example of the marriage being "tumultuous." Many married partners who cheat on each other don't necessarily have loud arguments, but Morrison and Courson did, so I added that detail. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.9.176.223 ( talk) 22:09, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
"In his follow-up book to the seminal Jim Morrison biography, No One Here Gets Out Alive, Jerry Hopkins mentions that Courson might have prostituted herself after Morrison's death, probably to keep up with the costly lifestyle she was used to, and was apparently pimped by a former Doors chauffeur."
So Corbievreccan undid my edit, in which I disputed and corrected the notion of Pamela Courson being on a "quest" to inherit Jim Morrison's estate. The simple overriding fact is that Morrison wrote a will leaving his estate to Courson (with certain conditions, which were met). Although the will was contested, Courson subsequently inherited Morrison's estate as per his wishes. Therefore she was never on a "quest". She simply got what was always coming to her. Other people came forward to try to claim his estate: they may well have been on quests. Corbievreccan's commentary on his undoing of my edit mention that Courson was financially dependent on Morrison? So what? That has nothing to do with a falsely claimed "quest". Corbievreccan says that Courson's parents produced an unsigned application for a marriage license: this is immaterial as Jim Morrison's will left his estate to Courson irrespective of whether or not they were married. Furthermore, Courson's parents being "pushy" (according to Corbievreccan) might (possibly) indicate they were on a quest: but their actions in no way justify Corbievreccan's insistence on claiming that Pamela Courson was on a "quest". It is very typical of old-time Wikipedia editors like Corbievreccan to resist edits to *their* articles, to be unable to accept their shortcomings, and to use unscientific, inaccurate, opinionated language. I realise it is pointless for me to reinstate the edit I made as Corbievreccan is too obstinate and self-assured to admit their errors. Plus ça change. Quel domage. 2A00:23EE:15C0:6829:6D13:A2D4:B98:A5EC ( talk) 23:43, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
