Talk:Mary Müller

Original research
The last paragraph discussing the assertions that Müller was a nationally syndicated columnist appear to be original research. I've therefore added the original research template as well as the citation needed template. Hopefully this will prompt editors to rectify this apparent lapse and at the same time improve this article.- Ambrosia10 (talk) 04:31, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I looked around for a reliable source for the information and couldn't find one. I commented out the paragraph and removed the original research template. All documented in the edit notes. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 00:53, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

Here's the commented out text; this is probably a better place for it:

"It has been asserted that she contributed articles on women's rights to the Nelson Examiner under the pen name 'Fémmina' and that she was a nationally syndicated columnist. However there are only about 10 letters and no articles to be found under this name in Papers Past, the digitised repository of New Zealand newspapers. Two are to the Nelson Examiner, one about female education, the other on the Married Woman's Property Bill. The remainder are to a variety of newspapers and cover a range of topics; a new church, teacher grades, the navy, parliamentary behaviour, sympathy for 'fallen women' among others. This assertion appears to have come from the first chapter of a 1905 book by W Sidney Smith 'Outlines of the women's franchise movement in New Zealand' which offers no references or sources and which has not been challenged. It is therefore possible that her contributions have been overstated or misreported."
