Mary Harris Armor

I'm afraid an unknown person on the internet saying "I am her great-granddaughter" is not a reliable way to source Wikipedia content. Do you have any of this published in a reliable source? Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 15:39, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

My name is Ann Armor Clarke. I was born in Atlanta, but currently live in Richmond, VA. My grandmother, Armor's daughter (Mattie Armor Hale), wrote and privately published a memoir of her mother titled "One Great Lady" https://www.ebay.com/itm/352674081727?hash=item521d036bbf:g:kboAAOSwtB1c6pBS&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoNsOmNhJtPg2VaTGW3%2BlsrYOh3FJkp%2Bieu0uYK9ty12z1KcHTZ8H8ezYGzgAoEHClsDM%2BxEsDf0EpWHGHgJvtaMTQ94yrcR5ukQyZK1n1ddBbX8onFBdU7mrb%2FNe2Bp%2FdMvrhcFJrBAzWRs12%2BJpc%2FAQbgv4jM6YVxnslXoPUg0OcTCPRwOgPMNmCKYQY4rwGgn%2FHfTTAgKZSKpus3hqt%2Bo%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7CgtP34YA. One copy is available for purchase on eBay. I have my own copy, in which she inscribed "Love to Ann Armor. I am so glad you carry that name - Armor!" Chapter II is titled "Early Days". It begins, "Her father, an honor graduate of Mercer University and the Augusta Medical College, was successful first as a teacher, then as a physician. She was born in the university (Mercer) town of Penfield, Georgia in 1863." Chapter IX is titled "A Joy and a Job". It begins "In 1910 the dream of a lifetime came true and she found herself on the S.S. Celtic on her way to Glasgow, Scotland and the World's W.C.T.U Convention." There is no publication date in the book, but I think she wrote it in the early 1980s. I believe the Emory University library has a copy you can read but not check out, if you want to verify my citations.

I will not publish my birthdate nor birth certificate here. So I don't know how else to prove my identity. If you will not accept my corrections to my great-grandmother's page, then I am asking you politely to remove the page altogether, as it has too many inaccuracies to stand as is. And if you will not accept my corrections, then my question to you is - how is it that you allowed other (unknown) people to publish disinformation about my family? As far as I can tell, this article did NOT originate with a family member, as there are too many false statements here - such as her personally being a racist, with no citation as proof. 2600:4040:1279:3A00:2555:BD82:7C4:E022 (talk) 16:42, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Please understand that Wikipedia does not contain new or original content. So even if you could prove your identity, it would make no difference. Wikipedia needs content that is verifiable by citing reliable sources, where the information has already been published. If there is anything on the article that is unsourced and you would like to challenge, then please do remove it. State your reasons in the edit summary, and/or the article talk page.

A self published book is not usually considered a reliable source, because it is a primary source. --Escape Orbit ^(Talk) 13:46, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
