Question[edit]
Do you have any connection with User:Factoad? I ask because your edits to Leah Hunt-Hendrix are very similar and it would be helpful to know if I'm communicating with the same person or a different one. Additionally, if you are the same person, the use of multiple accounts is discouraged and I would encourage you to just stick to one of the two. —Ganesha811 (talk) 22:51, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with the username but I am doing a group project for a political science class and have chosen this person to profile and research. There was some feedback on our team about PR speak and we have corrected those errors and edited our work to include only factual information, which is supported by sourcing, including the sourcing that was originally on the page. We have added information that we have deemed pertinent to our subject and removed excesses. Grammarmonkey3 (talk) 06:01, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you - please coordinate with them - I did indeed give some feedback to them recently. I appreciate you all removing the list of profiles and the laudatory words, something that generally comes across as PR-speak. I'm going to trim and organize a little, but I think that most of what you added has been an improvement to the page and should remain. We appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia! —Ganesha811 (talk) 12:55, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, we appreciate it. A few questions on our end so we can better the page before submitting to our professor for review: We cited the subject's original thesis made available by Princeton University, yet it says a better citation is needed. I guess we're just unclear on what is a more verifiable and trusted citation that the initial thesis itself that was submitted to the university with the advisors listed. The alternative sourcing we have found are self-published pieces by the subject. Some more clarity would be appreciated on that front.
- Also, there's a message on the page saying we could have a conflict of interest with the subject. We don't feel comfortable submitting that to our professor as this is a research project, which we have just conducted research via newspaper and magazine archives, online archives and primary sources. If you could provide more info on that, that would be great as well as we'd like to rectify this.
- Thanks again! Grammarmonkey3 (talk) 18:18, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for your questions - I've replied here so future editors can see the discussion. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:47, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
