All the information in the article was previously added by me on the basis of it being included in one of the four references I had listed. If you are aware of contrary information, probably the best thing to do would be to indicated exactly which pieces of data you dispute based on which sources on the article's talk page, and then we can go over how to phrase the content accordingly.

Are you saying all the information you added was based on that single source? I need to know this because no information can be added without having at least a listed reference. John Carter (talk) 16:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear John - am I supposed to answer you here? The information was based on three sources - the biography by Georgiana Fullerton (I even put her words in quotation marks), the biography by Gino Cotini and the book of Edmund Gardner. The book I had for a while from a library but the first two sources you can see in the "References" where I already had put them a while ago. Vincas (talk) 16:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You can answer wherever you want. I'm going to assume your sources are better than mine and try to adjust the content accordingly. Unfortunately I'm a bit pressed for time today, but will try tomorrow. John Carter (talk) 17:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have made most of the changes you requested, as per my most recent comment here. If you could indicate specifically which sources you used for each of the various points you made, I would be very appreciative. John Carter (talk) 18:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I don't know anything about Italian geography, so I didn't know how distant the two places are, and thought they might be neighbors or something. Thanks for the clarification, I'll change it as indicated. However, if you were to want to add citations to the article regarding which statements were specifically sourced where, that'd help a lot. I've read elsewhere that people think the length is good enough for GA status, but that it would need additional in-text citiations to get there. If you can give me any ideas where to put citations for the information you've given, that'd help a lot. John Carter (talk) 14:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Am leaving now; will try tonight. Yes, I was also very surprised about the distance - that they would come to the idea to bring her body back to Narni 440 years later - in 1935!! Vincas (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And my apologies for not having said or done this before. We are supposed to ensure that all new editors be told how things work around here. One of the ways we do that is with templates, like this one:

You should know that you are more than free to add any additional content which you deem important enough for inclusion, provided that content can be sourced. In all honesty, I think at this point you probably know the subject a lot better than I do. If there is any additional information you think should be included, please feel free to do so, preferably with citations added. If for whatever reason you don't feel comfortable about doing so, contact me and I'll see what I can do. Thanks. John Carter (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Dear John, thank you for this invitation. I tried to respond to it on your User Talk page. Vincas (talk) 15:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
