Overlinking
Hi, please note that en.WP doesn't normally link common terms. And partner in invobox needs to have their own WP article or to have a footnoted reference to an external source. Tony (talk)  05:55, 4 August 2022 (UTC)


 * This article was created as part of Wikipedia's diversity project under the LGBT category. External references that explicitly state Carol was Louise's partner do not exist due to the rampant homophobia of the era in which she lived. However Louise was my great-aunt and I can personally attest to the relationship (footnoted in the article as #6 "oral history from her grand niece"). I have also located a photo of them traveling together (footnote #8) and a newspaper article about an event they hosted in their home (footnote #7) all of which are external sources that name Carol. And I have verified that they are buried in the same cemetery with matching headstones.
 * If you ignore the realities of the era and require explicit written documentation stating "this person was gay / these gay people were life partners" from rampantly homophobic eras and do not allow personal testimony from their friends and relatives and secondary documentation in lieu of nonexistent explicit documentation you will struggle to diversify Wikipedia at all.
 * Linking of common terms was not done by me. ShadowHistory (talk) 17:08, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
