Talk:Sue Bailey Thurman

message: Does this qualify as "original research"? First recipient Marian Banfield of Howard University. Derricott Committee awards 2 Sondra Elise Banfield Dailey was the first born of the late Dr. Gilbert Leslie Banfield and Marion Elza Martin Banfield, God- Daughter of the late Howard Thurman. ... nieces and nephews Jada Pinkett Smith ... Sondra Elise Banfield, obit. What I want to say is that Banfield, who was Thurman's goddaughter, was the first recipient of the scholarship and would later become the grandmother of JPS. (Marian Banfield is mentioned in JPS's bio as grandmother). SusunW (talk) 04:08, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not original research if the sentences have an inline citation, i.e. sentence1 has citation1, sentence2 has citation2, sentence3 and citation3, and so on. Peppy is a big dog.(citation1) Peppy plays with Pokey the cat.(citation2) Pokey is fond of big dogs.(citation3) Original research would be to say, "Pokey is fond of Peppy". This probably doesn't make as much sense written down as it does in my brain, but I'm getting tired. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:20, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think I get the gist. Make the statements, cite them, don't interpret it. SusunW (talk) 04:26, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Much better said than the Pokey and Peppy example. Where in the world did that come from, I will never know! Lol! --Rosiestep (talk) 04:35, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Tired too, but Pokey and Peppy got me where I needed to be. My goal is to add something every day until we are at 15K characters and then turn Ian and Dr. B loose on her to c/e the prose. LOL SusunW (talk) 04:42, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:   Juliette Derricotte Scholarship 

message: I think we have covered most of the important stuff. Do you want to do a copy edit or add anything? And anything you want to do to the lede would be lovely. I am not good at it. Seems repetitive to me, so I am always leaving stuff out. SusunW (talk) 00:19, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, definitely, I'll do the c/e and the lede building. I just flew into LA. Ok if I work on it over the weekend, or is there a rush? --Rosiestep (talk) 04:19, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  No rush at all. When you get around to it.  SusunW (talk) 06:14, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I've done a preliminary c/e but I think I should look at it again in a couple of days with a fresh set of eyes. I like doing citation cleanup but the current citation styles give me pause. I am more familiar with sfn for book refs, and Wikipedia's citation templates for everything else. I won't change what's there now as I know that's not cool, but the citations do need some cleanup. For example, some refs refer to page as p (no period) while others refer to it as p. (with a period); some citations are first name first, while others are surname first. --Rosiestep (talk) 05:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  I use wiki templates on all citations except multiple pages in a book and always go last name first. I find it hysterical, really, that the programmers would put a period after p or pp as all other punctuation and or verbiage usually seen in citations (vol., no., etc.) either doesn't appear or people remove if you input. I even have people remove location and access date all the time. But, I have no problem putting a period in there. I also find it totally weird that they don't have a template on the pull down citation for additional pages, but they don't. As for ones with first name first, no idea. I don't input them like that, so I guess just change them if you think we should.) SusunW (talk) 15:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I think I got them all changed. But, if I missed one, please feel free to fix it ;) SusunW (talk) 00:33, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
