Talk:Louise Chandler Moulton

Personal Life
This section reads very oddly. It appears to be an unreferenced quotation, made in her lifetime, and refers to her in the present tense. Valetude (talk) 12:15, 19 August 2017 (UTC)
 * a very belated yes, it does indeed read oddly. "Moulton has every summer sailed away for foreign shores" – seemingly stated in Wikipedia's voice with no attribution – is, for someone who died in 1908, very time-warped remark. However, the reference at the end of the paragraph provides the clue. I've tracked down an online source at https://archive.org/details/representativew00elligoog/page/n27 where the text is even more flowery. Perhaps our copy editing has been rather too slight. I'm afraid I'm not sufficiently incentivised to do anything about it, however. Thincat (talk) 16:53, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Have corrected a few errors. But the whole article needs redrafting to make it encyc. Valetude (talk) 17:05, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
 * PS I note that some of that section is quoted direct from 'Representative Women of New England' by Julia Ward Howe and Mary Elvira Elliott. Valetude (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
