Edit request 8 March 2021

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [see below]

Requested edits (by section):

Infobox

Information to be added or removed:

Change date of death from "28 May 1957" to "28 April 1957"

Explanation of issue:

Correcting incorrect information

References supporting change: ^[1]

Done I do not have the offline source "Hacker" available to me, but the information is verifiable in the existing source findagrave.

Information to be added or removed:

Add Education: Ontario Medical College for Women, University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine (1905)

Explanation of issue:

Adding relevant information

References supporting change: ^[1] ^[2]

Done I used a Toronto Star source I found at ProQuest 750216346. I put the institution under |alma mater= as |education= is for the degree earned. I placed the citation where the information appears in the body; so long as it's sourced in the body there's no need to clutter the infobox and lead with citations (not unless it's controversial).

Introduction

Information to be added or removed:

Remove these sentences: "Minerva Ellen Reid (20 Oct 1871 – 28 May 1957) was a teacher, doctor, politician in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1915, Reid became the first female chief of surgery in North America."

Replace with this: "Minerva Ellen Reid (20 October 1871 – 28 April 1957) was a teacher, doctor, politician in Toronto, Ontario Canada. ^[2] In 1915, Reid became the first female Chief of Surgery in North America at Toronto’s Women's College Hospital from 1915 to 1925.^[1] "

Explanation of issue:

Adding relevant information and correcting incorrect information

References supporting change: ^[1]^[2]

Done Added material with some rephrasing for MOS and tone. Sources in body support it so I didn't cite it.

Background

Information to be added or removed:

Remove this sentence: "She and her sister, Hannah Emily Reid (b. January 19, 1870 - May 27, 1955), attended medical school at the Ontario Medical College for Women in Toronto, graduating together in 1905."

Replace with this sentence: "She and her sister, Hannah Emily Reid (b. January 19, 1870 - May 27, 1955), attended the Ontario Medical College for Women until its closure. They completed their medical degrees at the University of Toronto's medical school in 1905.^[1]^[2] "

Explanation of issue:

Adding relevant information and correcting incorrect information

References supporting change: ^[1]^[2]

Not done Unfortunately, I don't have access to those sources. Feel free to resubmit this request.

Information to be added or removed:

Add this sentence: "Minerva Reid retired from Women’s College Hospital in 1938.^[2]"

Explanation of issue:

Not done Offline source

Adding relevant information

References supporting change: ^[2]

External links (Add new section for external links)

The Miss Margaret Robins Archives of Women’s College Hospital [1]

Department of Surgery Fonds in the Archives of Women’s College Hospital [2]

Explanation of issue:

Adding relevant information

Not done Although the second of the external links notes that Reid was chief of surgery (1915–1926), it does not seem to have records from before 1977, so this does not seem relevant to the subject.

Request made by Trailblazer at WCHArchives (talk) 16:15, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the offline sources suggested and could only make a few changes to the lead and infobox, and some general cleanup. I put the offline sources in a "Further reading" section since they do seem useful. Feel free to resubmit this request. – Reidgreg (talk) 13:42, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
