SusunW, Megalibrarygirl, Ipigott, Copyvio report is returning 44,8% (https://tools.wmflabs.org/copyvios/?lang=en&project=wikipedia&title=Barbara+May+Cameron&oldid=&action=search&use_engine=1&use_links=1&turnitin=0), but it's due to the fact that Cameron was part of many affiliations, and I cannot change the names... and I do not want to ignore them, since they are important. Is it acceptable the article as it's or do I have to change it somehow?--Elisa.rolle (talk) 19:45, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

I've edited it some which brought the number down to 36.3 and yes, it is hitting on the names of books and conferences, which you cannot really change. I think you are fine, though it does read a bit as if it were a listing of accomplishments rather than smooth prose. SusunW (talk) 20:54, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
SusunW, you removed the cats, the dog and the bridge :-( I'm joking I know they weren't to survive, but yes, I wanted to give something more than just a list of affiliations... but she is quite overlooked in the resources in favor of her male companions...--Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:04, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
As so often happens. But, it's a solid article. Editing needed is not a valid reason to delete ;) SusunW (talk) 21:08, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Do you think, Elisa.rolle that you might want to add the affiliations as a list? Maybe that would work better. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 21:32, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
Megalibrarygirl, I think SusunW did a good job in grouping them so that they do not resemble a list. I like it. If I make a list, the copyvio will be the same, but the readability of the article would be worst.--Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
In general, we prefer running prose to lists. Looks fine as it is.--Ipigott (talk) 06:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

in this sentence, "That same year, was a participant in the International Indigenous AIDS Network as part of the International Conference on AIDS, held in Berlin." the word she or Cameron should be inserted after the first comma. Hirchert (talk) 12:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

Barbara May Cameron is the subject of a Google Doodle (published today) honoring her work. Perhaps a brief mention of "Google marked Cameron's 69th birthday with a Google Doodle" can be added? The link is here: https://www.google.com/doodles/barbara-may-camerons-69th-birthday 2603:8001:2A00:7428:55E6:E97B:8F2:D3E3 (talk) 15:28, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply

This is already in the article; I added it myself. Funcrunch (talk) 16:40, 22 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
