Hello, I have just reviewed your article draft in your sandbox. It looks like you are off to a great start! As a suggestion, I would add more information if possible and cite my sources. Tsess003 (talk) 01:54, 6 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

While the subject is actually worthwhile...

...this article really isn’t. It is written by someone who appears to believe that your average urbanite chopped wood for his (or her...) fireplace in 1918 as the only choice available...at least that seems to be their belief in the first few paragraphs.

There are a good many articles on wiki already that mistake patents for minor improvements in existing technology for major innovations. We don’t need one more. Qwirkle (talk) 06:37, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Death date

Is death date verifiably 1920? That would make her only 25 as of her death. AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 17:33, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As with so much of this, there are. very few useful sources. One of the sets of dates floating around on the various glurge sites conflates her with a woman from Vermont, for instance. Qwirkle (talk) 17:41, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is sourced to something that claims she invented central heating...80 years before her birth, give or take

Garbage in, garbage out. Qwirkle (talk) 03:34, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the part claiming that she created central heating, so your complaint no longer justifies the tag)

No. The source still vectors absolute nonsense. So, you believe you can pick out just the facts you like, like a bird winkling the better parts out of a horse apple? Qwirkle (talk) 04:44, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You continue to make bizarre accusations without providing any specific evidence. Again, if you don't approve of a source you are free to remove it. And it seems you have been doing so. So why belabour the point? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 04:54, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really have to edit war over a stub tag?

The point of stub tags is to organize articles so people can improve them. {{US-engineer-stub}} is the closest one I could find. Why remove it? AleatoryPonderings (???) (!!!) 05:48, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It misrepresents the subject in a way that could mislead the reader. Since this article, like other woozle effect-plagued pieces, is especially prone to citogenesis, that is an especially bad thing. Qwirkle (talk) 05:59, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
