Helen’s Death[edit]

Helen died today, April 13, 2023. I’d like to add this information to her page and also change the tenses where necessary. Or you can do it. Jo-Anne Green (talk) 16:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and did this because no one responded. Jo-Anne Green (talk) 16:57, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Working on Jo-Anne Green[edit]

These two women are important for understanding electronic literature. I am not connected with them. However, Turbulence is seminal in distributing electronic literature. I have started a draft of an article for the co-founder, Draft:Jo-Anne Green - Wikipedia @Asilvering is there a way to determine notability for these two women? ThanksLoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 03:34, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LoveElectronicLiterature Which two? Jo-Anne Green and Helen Thorington? Helen Thorington's notability doesn't appear to be in dispute. Jo-Anne Green also looks likely to me. These two articles she has on her website are good coverage: [1], [2]. -- asilvering (talk) 03:51, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this may not be a case of notability, but that Jo-Anne Green did not know about our electronic literature project and thus did some edits herself on her co-founder's page here. I did review these edits and I think they are good, with citations. What should we do about the conflict of interest post? Thanks so much! @Asilvering LoveElectronicLiterature (talk) 16:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LoveElectronicLiterature, any editor who does not have a conflict of interest is welcome to check tagged articles to see if there's anything that needs to be done to bring the article into a neutral point of view. This would include a quick double-check to make sure there isn't something obvious being left out of the article. (For example, I once checked an academic's article, which looked perfectly neutral, only to find via google that he was widely in the news for ethics violations!) It's also a good idea to check for unsourced statements, since COI/autobio editors often add in things that haven't actually been publicly reported anywhere. If you read the article carefully and there are no concerns, you can simply remove the tag. If you know either of them personally, you'd also have a COI and should leave it for someone else. Let me know if that's the case and I can have a look instead. -- asilvering (talk) 16:36, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I know of Helen and Jo-Anne's work, and I think I met Jo-Anne at a conference. But I think that is ok. I rechecked this article and added a few more citations, including the New York Times one. There are way too many other citations we could use, and I do not want this to be exhaustive. I have removed the tag. Thank you @Asilvering.
