After reviewing all these citations and noting there are many more - I think its safe to say Thelma Johnson Streat's date of birth is unknown (circa 1911-1921). However with closer review I noticed more of the reliable sources - including the Thelma Johnson Streat Project (which is run by her family and mentioned in the citation Abioto, 2019) and various larger museums are using the 1911 date. Does anyone have thoughts about this? Jooojay (talk) 22:49, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reliable sources[edit]

Someone keeps adding private gallery publications to the biography (specifically Tyler Fine Art Gallery), these would be considered not reliable sources because they are promoting the sales of her work (unlike museums). Please see WP:RS for information on what is considered a reliable citation source. Jooojay (talk) 23:07, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
