Talk:Dorothy Canfield Fisher

message: A fine effort, Woggly!  Reads very professionally -- you've obviously got talent as a budding encyclopedia writer.  The article might benefit from a slightly more chronological ordering (after the lead section noting her significance), i.e., "born", then "educated", then "moved to Vermont", then "married", "book club", "Montessori" and "writing" in whatever the appropriate order might be, perhaps followed after by "honorary degrees", "Eleanor Roosevelt", "eponymous award established", etc., all with dates.  It shouldn't hurt to repeat some of the things in the introduction with a little more detail.  I'd be interested to know how she encountered the Montessori method, and perhaps in where and how she died (if notable or available).
(I also capitalized BotM club, which deserves its own entry, and de-wikied the second occurence of Montessori -- we don't need multiple links to the same page from a single article.)
Hope that's helpful,

thread_title:  Son 

message: A photo of Dorothy with her mother is at . Their statement doesn't assert any copyright but I'm not sure about before that - it derives from 'We Too Built Columbus', edited by Ruth Young White, Stoneman Press, 1936, and I'm not sure who before that, and not being familiar with US copyright law re photographs I hesitate to add it myself. But if anyone else knows it's safe, it would be a good addition both to this article and to Flavia Camp Canfield. --Zeborah (talk) 08:38, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Photo 

message: It comes off very oddly to have a paragraph about Canfield Fisher's son and his death in WWII in the middle of her biography. The biography is about her, not about him. This would more properly be a mention of his name with a link to his own page, if he merits one. The photo as well does not seem relevant to her biography. --Lizzard  (talk) 01:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Later that day, the editor created section Children (now sec 10) at the end of the article and moved "Son's info" and photo there. --P64 (talk) 04:17, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Son's info should not be in her bio 

message: I just picked up Mitchell Yockelson's Forty-Seven Days, How Pershing's Warriors Came of Age. It indicates that sometime between 1891 and 1895 Pershing (then at the University of Nebraska as an instructor)taught math to Dorothy Canfield (and Willa Cather) at some sort of prep school associated with the U of N. OK, Cather was in Nebraska at the time. There is no indication Canfield ever was in Nebraska. Any thoughts? Paul, in Saudi (talk) 07:56, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
