Soc314: Wikipedia Critique an Article Assignment

[edit]

The only facts in the article that were cited were the birth date and date of death. The article should include more citations to the facts, for example the sentence stating that she became the "first female Fellow of the RCPE in 1929". Also, the sentence stating that she was born in a time when the opinion of women were changing seems to be biased or opinionated.

Prior content in this article duplicated one or more previously published sources. The material was copied from: https://www.rcpe.ac.uk/sites/default/files/notable_fellow_2.pdf.

Image removed

[edit]

I have removed the image File:The upper flat at 57 Craiglea Drive, Edinburgh.jpg because the address is not mentioned in the text. Presumably it was mentioned in the removed copyvio content, but the source which was copied only says that she lived in this street in 1891, no source provided for "57". I thought the file description might have said "childhood home of ...", if it is, but it doesn't. PamD 16:34, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
