Talk:Cassie Deveaux Cohoon

Some proposed changes
I'm requesting these edits in accordance with the Wikipedia conflict of interest guidelines (I am the author's son).

These edits were suggested by another researcher involved in the study of Acadian history and the role of Jeanne Dugas.


 * the title of Archbishop should be replaced with Bishop in the second paragraph of the Biography section - Joseph-Octave Plessis was not nominated Archbishop of Quebec until 1818.


 * In that same sentence it would be nice to change the second occurrence of Cheticamp to Chéticamp - (adding the e acute, for consistency) - minor.


 * also in that sentence, it was suggested that the word 'travelled' be changed to 'roamed' - they were running from British soldiers, not on a pleasure trip.


 * finally it was suggested that the last paragraph read "Cohoon's work helped the efforts of an entire community to gain further recognition for Dugas, who was named a Person of National Historic Significance by the Canadian government in 2014." - keeping the same references. Note that Jeanne Dugas was named a person of national interest in 2014, not 2016, though it was 2 years later in 2016 that a plaque was unveiled in her honour.

 * 1) ✅ The title of archbishop was changed to bishop.
 * 2) ✅ The "e" in the 2nd instance of Chéticamp was changed to one containing a diacritical mark.
 * 3) ✅ The word travelled was changed to encountered.
 * 4) ❌ The last paragraph could not be expanded with the suggested prose because the reference(s) from the article which were to be used as reference(s) for the newer information were not included on the talk page with the request.

Revised edit request
Re the previous request that was declined - here is the requested text (to replace the last paragraph of the Biography section) with references:


 * Cohoon's work helped the efforts of an entire community to gain further recognition for Dugas, who was named a Person of National Historic Significance by the Canadian government in 2014.

 * Also, on reflection, perhaps the word 'encountered' in the second paragraph of the Biography section could be changed to 'had relocated to'.
