Lede
The lede describes her as a Sinn Féin activist, vegetarian and anti-vivisection advocate. None of these are referenced in the article. Valetude (talk) 06:49, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Co-author of 'Outlawed'?
The article refers to a redlink template but says that Despard was co-author of 'Outlawed' with Mabel Collins but that article refers to co-author as Alice Chapin. . Can another editor clarify the position and relationship to Despard (if any?). Thanks, I am a relatively new editor, Kaybeesquared (talk) 22:19, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

Atrocious writing
This article suffers from a bizarre flaw in which the subject's surname is repeated, over and over again. This is horrifically jarring and makes the article almost unreadable. You do not repeat a person's name; you use pronouns.

This error is so truly weird that I feel the need to ask about it here. Why has someone written the article in this way? How did anyone not know how pronouns are used? It must be one person; I do not believe that multiple people could all fail to understand such a simple point of grammar. Andesitic (talk) 22:43, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Amended text Kaybeesquared (talk) 23:15, 3 February 2021 (UTC)


 * That is a significant improvement. Investigating the article history, I see it was in fact you who quite deliberately removed pronouns and replaced them with repetitions of her surname, eg in this edit. What was your reason for doing that? Have you done this in other articles as well? Andesitic (talk) 16:15, 5 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Reviewed now all such changes, amended all relevant articles'texts per another editor discussion (just had misunderstood some guidance). NFA required. Thanks.Kaybeesquared (talk) 12:42, 6 February 2021 (UTC)


 * You misunderstood some guidance? Which guidance? On Wikipedia or elsewhere? I cannot understand how you could possibly have thought your changes were beneficial and I'm horrified to see that you had made them to dozens of articles. Andesitic (talk) 00:48, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
