Talk:Vivian Stephens

I'm not comfortable using the BGSU page as a primary citation as I am the one who wrote it and I helped create this page, but if others are okay with it that's fine. Sammidown (talk) 14:09, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * oh wow, hi! Yeah, I came across it while looking for sources. I'm going to look back at what I added and see if I can find another source, but it seems to meet criteria 2600:1702:33F0:24A0:D015:DFA4:17B:68EF (talk) 18:45, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * While it's good to disclose, I think that BGSU qualifies as intellectually independent _of the subject_. It's a valid and worthwhile source for this article. Also, it is completely ok to use print sources--so for example perhaps there's a monograph on the collection which exists only in print etc. If I had time to go through this article I'd probably focus on removing things that aren't directly relevant and perhaps removing some of the adjectives. I think it's well written but many Wikipedians will prefer it to be more focused and less narrative in structure.

Re: Castle/Krentz -- good catch. I misinterpreted her bio. It said it was the first sold but shouldn't have interpreted it to mean published 2600:1702:33F0:24A0:D015:DFA4:17B:68EF (talk) 19:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Looking deeper, it looks like that first publisher (McFadden) may have misrepresented the date? Either way, it seems muddy enough that we should keep it simple.Sammidown (talk) 20:15, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
