Talk:Frances Ellen Watkins Harper

message: Hi all! I am adding a new section about Harper's suffrage activism. That said, I will be changing some headings around. I'm planning on changing all the sub-headings under the "working life" heading to regular headings. There is also some overlap between my draft and some of the published work, so I will be addressing that too in my edits. I also rephrased some of the "personal life" section at the end and added an image. HollyLovesHistory (talk) 19:07, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

message: FYI, the first Hubbard footnote does not include this quote: "enslavement and abolitionism, human rights and dignity, women's rights and equality, racial and social justice, lynching and mob violence, voting rights, moral character, racial self-help and uplift, and multiracial cooperation for common good." I see this page is active, and I don't know where the quote comes from, so I figure someone more knowledgable can fix it. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Solidmuldoon (talk • contribs) 22:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Zinn's A People's History of the United States says Iola Leroy or Shadows Uplifted was "the first novel published by a black woman." However, the direct source is not cited within the text. --Beefyt 06:21, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the Harriet E. Wilson article, the first novel written by a black american was Our Nig in 1859. I guess Forrest Leaves, being a collection of poetry, isn't relevant, but this page on UUA has some information about the book. I suggest that that the wording of this article be changed to "...one of the first novels published...," and the wikilink to Forrest Leaves be removed and replaced with some information about the book. --Beefyt 06:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I have just failed the GA nomination for this article after checking two sources, supporting six different sentences, and finding that neither of those sources had any relevance to the sentences they supposedly supported.  I have tagged the claims in question with , but I have not yet checked any of the other sources.  I am going to bed now, but have watchlisted the article and shall try to get back to it later in the week to check out some of the other sources. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 22:09, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Quickly looking before I switch off for the night, it looks like all of the problems I have spotted so far were added in this editthis edit, so that's probably a good starting point for further digging. Caeciliusinhorto (talk) 22:13, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should remove cites that fail verification. I am also seeing problems in works cited that link to incorrect sources. Also, one of the sources is classified as "Juvenile Nonfiction" by its publisher. Harper deserves a higher grade of source.Parkwells (talk) 16:23, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering the length of time since this matter was discussed, I have removed the two citations which failed verification. The user who added them has apparently made no other contributions and is unlikely to revisit. --Midnightdreary (talk) 20:48, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Frances Harper →  – I cannot find a single reference, much less Web site, that antedates Wikipedia and calls her by only two names. The four names were used routinely. She was from Maryland, and the Maryland State Archives uses the four names (https://msa.maryland.gov/msa/educ/exhibits/womenshallfame/html/harper.html). deisenbe (talk) 18:58, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
