Talk:Sarah Bagley

Importance

Given the dramatic change in the importance level made recently, I've begun a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Organized_Labour#Importance_of_Sarah_Bagley. Let's try to reach a consensus there before we change it again. Thanks. – Scartol · Talk 15:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

And get rid of a "lede" consisting of one long copyright-violating quote from somebody else! --Orange Mike 15:55, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. While the quote is excellent in that it summarizes neatly what a lead should include, it's not kosher to have just a quote for the lead. Let's paraphrase the ideas instead. – Scartol · Talk 16:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

In addition to the above, the conflict in reported date of death needs to be fixed. I would consider the authoritative source to be the Martha Mayo website at U. of Mass. - Lowell(http://library.uml.edu/clh/Bag.htm), which states that the exact date of death is unknown at present.Tjepsen (talk) 15:17, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Uncited statement removed

John Allen became the new editor of The Voice of Industry and immediately fired Bagley. She wrote that Allen “does not want a female department. It would conflict with the opinions of the mushroom aristocracy that he seeks to favorite, and beside it would not be dignified.” [citation needed]

  • I traced the "mushroom aristocracy" quotation to multiple reliable sources and restored it, adding a citation to the most reliable one among those I found. Clio.at.work (talk) 20:45, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
