Advice regarding Louisa Gann
Hi - I noticed your discussion at the AfC reviewer's talk page - I took a quick look, and wanted to offer you a little bit more advice. Wikipedia adopts a neutral point of view; we avoid describing subjects in subjective terms. Phrases like she brought a profound commitment to opening opportunities..., Gann was committed to enabling young women, she was a force to be reckoned with - all of these seem like they are praising the subject of the article. What we should be trying to do is describe, neutrally and without judgement, what she did. It is possible to include relevant attributed quotations from historians however - so, you could write something like Madeup Nameson, a historian specialising in women's education in the early twentieth century, said that "she brought a profound commitment to opening opportunities...". In other words, write in such a way that the reader would not infer that you yourself have any opinion about the subject, just present facts about her. Hope that makes sense, best Girth Summit  (blether)  11:21, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
