Talk:Cora Agnes Benneson

Infobox
@Gerda Arendt: I've removed the infobox. In this case, I don't think one is needed since there aren't many details to be added to it. Additionally, everything that was in the infobox was either in the first sentence or first paragraph. voorts (talk/contributions) 00:26, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * While all this is correct, why would you not want to serve someone, let's say from a different language, with easy access to some facts in a predictable position? No other language has an article about her yet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:02, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The article says nowhere clearly where she died, for example. I searched and arrived at Boston, but I was not sure enough to add that. Please add it in the prose, in a new paragraph. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * A reader looking at the infobox could guess easily that she didn't marry and have children, which puts everything else in perspective, while only a diligent reader of the prose would get that information rather at the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:12, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your comments, @Gerda Arendt. Here are my responses (in order):
 * I don't believe that people who don't read English (or read it poorly) are served by knowing from an infobox where and when Benneson was born and died, what she did, and where she got her degrees. In any event, the first two of those things are in the first sentence of the article. Additionally, someone who doesn't speak English can always use an online translator to get an (albeit imperfect) gist of Benneson's life. Generally, I think an infobox is useful in an article about a person where the reader might be looking for quick information on that person in particular (for example, seeing what bands a notable musician played in or what positions a a government official held). Here, by contrast, I can't imagine there are many readers who would even know who Cora Agnes Benenson is before reading this article.
 * Thank you for noting that omission. I will add that fact to the final section.
 * In order to know that she didn't marry and have children, a person would need to know that those parameters are available for use in the infobox. Only editors, not the casual reader, would know that. Additionally, I'm not sure how her being a confirmed bachelorette puts everything else in perspective. Unless there is some sort of implication I'm missing, some successful women get married and have children, and some don't.
