Talk:Lottie Holman O'Neill

4th grade grammar error
Currently the article features this passage:
 * In 1920, women in Illinois gained the right to vote. In the next election cycle, O'Neill was encouraged by her husband to run for the legislature. She ran as a Republican and won one of the 41st districts three seats. That same election, Illinois elected Winnifred Sprague Mason Huck in a special election to serve in the United States House of Representatives from November 7, 1922 to March 3, 1923, the remainder of the term left vacant by her late father William E. Mason. At the beginning of her legislative career, she was frustrated when out of her thirteen proposed bills only three of trivial substance were able to pass the Illinois House.

I've added boldface here to the problem word: "she". Who is she? By the rules of English grammar, it is Winnifred Huck. But that makes no sense since the following sentence makes it clear that "she" is a state representative, so we can conclude "she" is O'Neill. The confusion is caused by the unnecessary inclusion of the information on Mason Huck. This article does not need this, and I will excise the largely-irrelevant sentence in the interest of making the article more clear. Unschool 05:49, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * 4th grade drama. Just fix the problem and leave a detailed edit summary. Magnolia677 (talk) 13:58, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I certainly agree with you that this was overkill. I have unfortunately over the years had my head bitten off by persons who lacked your common sense, and for whom, without a pedantic explanation, an offense would be alleged. As to a longer edit summary, I am no longer a regular contributor around here, and had forgotten that edit summaries have been greatly extended.  Thanks for the reminder.
