Talk:Emma Willard

Untitled
As part of my U.S. Women's History class I researched Emma Willard and improved her Wikipedia page. I am looking for feedback on the article and ways that I can continue to improve it. Thank you! Kaliwhitney (talk) 00:55, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Congratulations on your effort. Requests for Comments are usually called out to resolve a specific dispute with respect to "article content, user conduct, and Wikipedia policy and guidelines." Also, RfC's are usually meant to offer a binary choice, e.g. "Agree" or "Disagree"; "Include" or "Do not Include"; "Merge" or "Do not merge." In other words, they are meant, more than anything, to resolve disputes. Seeing as your request is rather general, I would think that a peer review process is what you're after. But I could be wrong. Congratulations, again.The Gnome (talk) 16:45, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

she was a smart young woman during her years who studied what back then was considered education for boys —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.108.128.129 (talk) 02:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, she established a couple schools, and did a great job of enforcing the status quo. Education didn't cover anything other than the arts and how to be subservient (spelling?) to men. (all this is from a tertiary source, useless for the article)Kumlekar (talk) 20:43, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Revision Emma Willard was an amazing woman in U.S. History, establishing the first school for women's higher education. I have been working on improving the article on Emma Willard.

I have recently updated Emma Willard's page. I am new to wikipedia and would like for someone to review my article. Any comments or ideas for improving would be greatly appreciated!

HST218 Comments
I would appreciate it if members of Fall 2011 HST218 US Women's History Salem State University would comment on my first wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SSUProfessor (talk • contribs) 17:47, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Great job! Lots of good information, well-written. I corrected some minor grammatical mistakes where periods were placed outside of footnote numbers. Blizzardbaby (talk) 02:10, 20 December 2011 (UTC)

Went through and added some tags and other minor changes. I also added a new section for "Works with other Authors" because the gap needed something extra. Other than that it was well written and flowed well.Bvahnee (talk) 02:53, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

caution advised

 * Hello. I don't really have time to do the in-depth digging that would confirm (or disconfirm) the suspicions that came up in my initial sniff-test, and so I sincerely hope you will accept my apologies if I am completely wrong. The article, however, just has that certain "Hi, I'm copied from various sources" look about it (see forex this from the National Women's History Museum (copyright 2005), but don't limit yourself to that source; dig deeply). It also skips around somewhere near the line between biography and hagiography. Alas, the article about the Emma Willard School does not "tread near" that line; it leaps over it...  and has that same WP:COPYVIO odor as well.
 * Please be careful! It takes a lot of work to write this type of article. –One Leaf KnowsAutumn (talk) 07:05, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

National Women's Hall of Fame Recognition 2013
I notice that there is a link to the Hall of Fame recognition at the very bottom of Emma Willard's article. There is no reference in the page highlighting the recognition nearly 150 years following her death. Given her work during her life, the recognition received while she was alive, and the AMAZING continuing recognition of her lifetime of work to enhance her citizens' quality of life through education I think this should be highlighted herein. The reference material may be found at

Seneca Falls has benefited from Emma Willard's focus on education for young women.

Not sure how to do all of this, but. . . . Twincol (talk) 02:01, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

one co-written book from "Works" moved
The section under Works lists a book she co-wrote with someone else so I moved it to the section under Works with other authors. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 22:00, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Not a Californian
The most recent edit should be reversed; the city of Orange did not exist when Emma Willard was born, and there is almost no chance that she was born in California.Pinikadia 23:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Vandalism, now corrected. Thanks for picking it up.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 08:25, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Lafayette
It might be a good idea to include something about how Lafayette visited the Troy Female Seminary and met with Willard. I don't really have the time to do it right now unfortunately. Bobby Neirs (talk) 02:58, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
