Talk:Susan B. Anthony

message: "In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting"
The Article should mention explicitly that women were not allowed to vote.  The bare-text idea that she was "arrested for voting" fails to include the totality of the circumstances that made that act a crime.  Did she vote in the wrong precinct?  Did she vote more than once?  Did she misrepresent her identity and vote as someone else?  Most Americans understand the general idea, but people from other countries may not.  Further, I think it improves the Article to provide more detail on how and why her act of "voting" was "illegal".2605:6000:6FC0:25:80DF:B3F:F9BC:2D28 (talk) 16:57, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

message: Why are we using an engraving for the lead image? I can get behind that in certain cases, but there are numerous photographs that are much better and more suitable for the lead image than an engraving that isn’t even particularly high resolution. Here are two of my proposals to replace the engraving. Thoughts? Relevation Animations (talk) 22:25, 26 September 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I greatly prefer the image that is currently used as the lead image.  It is the image that she and Stanton chose for use in the History of Woman Suffrage, and it shows Anthony in the prime of life, not near the end of it. Bilpen (talk) 22:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

text: If you ignore the signature, is this a better image? It was taken in 1870 when she was only 50, and it’s a somewhat more accurate representation of Anthony during her prime. And Sundayclose, we aren’t talking about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Relevation Animations (talk) 02:47, 27 September 2020 (UTC)

message: Here is the source for the missing citation related to Susan B Anthony’s pardon...
The president of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House wrote to "decline" the offer of a pardon on the principle that, to accept a pardon would wrongly "validate" the trial proceedings in the same manner that paying the $100 fine would have.[citation needed]

replies: text: Done Adding in the already used citation for this that included your susanb.org ref and an NPR one. For someone with more familiarity with this article, why is the pardon mention both in trial and Commemoration? Is it really needed in Commemoration? WikiVirusC(talk) 12:26, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  Per the suggestion above, I removed the duplicate paragraph from the Commemoration section. Bilpen (talk) 13:53, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
