Re-writing Carol Tavris' page

I think that Travis's page is lacking in information and sources and so I'm going to attempt to take a stab at rewriting it. I plan on using more current material (as well as old material). If anyone knows of great citations or has any ideas, please let me know! I would love to hear them. Just post them on the talk page and I will check back here every week.

Because it appears that this page needs a complete re-haul and rewrite, this is something that I'm going to need to do on my own space. Once I'm completely finished with the rewrite, I'll launch it so everyone can pick it apart and make any needed edits.

I plan on taking about two months to get this done. I would like to have this page rewritten by March 21st so stand by for the changes then! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurencarr24 (talk • contribs) 23:13, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re-write complete

I have finished my re-write of Carol Tavris' page. I tried to be accurate and have sources for everything I stated. However, I was unable to find a source that proved she graduated from Brandeis summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa. She said it, but other than her word, there is nothing written yet that I have found.

A couple other thoughts:

Because I haven't read her books, if anyone has any summaries or additions to make regarding her books, it might be a good idea to add them in.
If anyone has access to the Times Literary Supplement, perhaps you could add links to the three articles I listed. I know she wrote them, I just can't find them online.

I have no problems if others improve the page, I know I didn't read every article or interview involving Carol, so I'm sure there could be more to add. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Laurencarr24 (talk • contribs) 02:44, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's your concern? Have you looked at WP:EL and WP:LINKFARM? --Ronz (talk) 16:09, 9 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ACLU

@Nightscream: Despite your objections, the inclusion of the statement "As of 2014 Tavris was a member of the American Civil Liberties Union" is disputed, as it has been removed at least three times[1][2][3] by two different editors (myself and Ctavris). Per WP:VNOTSUFF, the onus to achieve consensus for inclusion is on those seeking to include disputed content. Here's why I don't think it should be included: it's trivia apparently based flimsily on a single primary source (and see WP:BLPPRIMARY). Unless I'm missing something, the name Carol Tavris appears only once in this annual report in a list of supporters. From this alone all we know is that someone named Carol Tavris gave an unspecified donation to the ACLU in 2014. We don't know if she was a supporter the previous year, nor the subsequent year. We can't even be sure it is the same Carol Tavris as the subject of this article (Don't build the Frankenstein) (Previous versions of the article had more blatant of original research, stating "Tavris, like her mother Dorothy, has been a lifelong member of the American Civil Liberties Union.", which certainly can not be inferred from the given source). Even if it is ascertained that it is the same Tavris, do any reliable sources connect Tavris to the ACLU in a meaningful way? If some Wikipedia editors are the only voices saying it should be mentioned, it probably shouldn't be mentioned, otherwise it's giving undue weight to minor aspects per WP:PROPORTION and WP:UNDUE. Note that Wikipedia is not everything. Please provide reliable sources that give weight and context to any mention of ACLU affiliation. --Animalparty! (talk) 00:19, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
