A fact from Maria Mitchell Association appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 12 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that staff members of the Maria Mitchell Association conduct research into topics as varied as exoplanets and the American Burying Beetle?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/September.

Staff section

The staff section here seems super bloated to me. Do we really need so many details about where people used to work? Is a list of staff members really even necessary? To me, this seems to be getting into the realm of crazy off-topic minutiae. Thoughts? Jessicapierce (talk) 04:28, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On further thought (and seeing the addition of a new chunk of off-topic text today), I'm going to go ahead and trim this. The inclusion of staff member's CV details and spouses' names is just way, way off-topic and irrelevant in terms of what should be included in a Wikipedia article. If these people are notable enough to have their own articles here, those facts can go there. Jessicapierce (talk) 21:18, 1 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
