Talk:Laura Bridgewater

Article NPOV
Please let me know the specifics regarding any problems with the neutrality of my article. Are there any specific parts of the article that do not appear neutral? She is a professor at my school, however I do not know her personally and I used all the information I could find about her to create an article that states the facts about her life and discoveries. I have been trying to create more articles about female scientists, because they are underrepresented by Wikipedia. Skyes(BYU) (talk) 16:35, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I have made some changes and removed the COI template. Things to avoid in future include vague resume-like claims like "published in many journals" (an encyclopedia should insetad have specific, sourced facts); and subjective point-of-view adjectives like "prominent" or "well-known". The remaining issue with the article is that it lacks third party, independent, reliable sources. Melcous (talk) 20:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

additional info on connection
When I selected this page for me and my students to edit, it was part of an internal project, started by myself, to increase coverage of LDS women in the hard sciences (a project we stopped after creating only a few pages, because most of these women worked at BYU and there were COI concerns). Several years after our work on this page, Bridgewater became an associate vice president at BYU over the Harold B. Lee Library (so, she was my boss's boss's boss). She no longer holds that position. I would be surprised if she knew that I had worked on her Wikipedia page. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:20, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
