Data from Find A Grave

@Enwebb: I am unclear of the "reliability" from Find A Grave website. The listing does give a birth date and the death date corresponds. The listing also contain an image of her. If that is the only clue to her DoB may it be used and cited? WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:44, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

WomenArtistUpdates, I don't think it's considered reliable--I've used it as a source before and had it removed. I have tried and tried looking for her obituary (surely one would have been published) but can't find in on Newspapers.com or the Newspaper Archives. Maybe it will turn up eventually though and be usable. Enwebb (talk) 23:24, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Enwebb I have had the same experience with using Find A Grave. I had come across it being used as a source of last resort occasionally, but have not been able to understand the nuances. Do you think we could upload a "fair use" image of the grave marker and use the death year? WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 01:24, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

WomenArtistUpdates--I assume you meant birth year? I'm really not sure if that would be acceptable or not to use as a source. I found a relevant policy about Find A Grave here. However, speaking of media, several of her paintings would be in the public domain at this point, so it may be possible to add some images to this article. Enwebb (talk) 03:01, 5 May 2019 (UTC)

Enwebb Yes I did mean birth year. I found a listing for the birth year on Worthpoint, which I added to the article. You are correct in pointing out that her paintings are in the public domain. I uploaded one. WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 18:21, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
