A fact from Dorothy M. Healy appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 March 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in addition to collecting and curating thousands of volumes for the Maine Women Writers Collection, Dorothy M. Healy raised thousands of turkeys on her farm?

Wikipedia

date of birth

What is the source for Healy's 1904 birth year? LCCN gives March 21, 1914 as her full date of birth. Vycl1994 (talk) 03:23, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found it in this article from the Feminist Quarterly about the Maine Women Writers Collection. None of my other sources mentioned it. If you have a reliable source, I suggest using it instead. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 16:04, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Yoninah: After a closer look at this Wikipedia entry and the LCCN, it appears that LCCN cites A Passionate Intensity, a book currently listed in the further reading section. Do you have access to the book, so we can confirm Healy's date of birth? I had made a similar request at Talk:May Owen late last year, but no one was able to track that source down. It may also be worthwhile to note that Find A Grave, listed in the external links and usually not considered a reliable source, does have pictures of her grave that list the 1914 date. Vycl1994 (talk) 21:47, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't have access to the book. But I think we should go ahead and write 1914, as no one else mentions it (or, therefore, can contradict it!). Yoninah (talk) 22:10, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding it. Though Find a Grave may not be reliable, that date chiseled onto her tombstone looks pretty real... Yoninah (talk) 22:12, 21 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
