What I changed

I reworded some of the sentences in the early childhood and education sections and added some additional information. I felt that some of the details I added were important to get a better idea of what her childhood looked like. I also felt it important to add a little more about where she first developed her passion for writing and some of the positions she was placed in as an early writer.

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing

I read Hollingworth's book some years ago. I have posted a bibliography of Intelligence Citations for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in those issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research and to suggest new sources to me by comments on that page. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk) 21:04, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

What I changed

I reworded the intro paragraph and added a couple more sentences that i felt were very important to a short summary of Leta Hollingworth. Next I added the entire clinical psychology section because I felt like clinical psychology was one of three areas that Hollingworth was interested in and spent time on. She also made contributions to clinical psychology, therefore i believe these things to be important and I felt like they needed to be talked about.

Use of adjectives/adverbs

As I was making a few grammatical and sentence restructuring changes in the "Growing up" section I noticed that there was a lot of adjectives/adverbs used to create emotions. This creates some biased in my mind and takes away from the article being informative. LisaBlakeleySnyder (talk) 17:47, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Image & possible substitutes

I went on a bit of a treasure hunt today looking for public domain images for Leta Stetter Hollingworth. I only found one that was both in the PD & one that I could copy, but there are others that are of better quality if someone is willing to do the legwork.

• Behind a paywall; appears to be a better quality version of the February 1915 one: https://www.nytimes.com/1915/09/19/archives/is-woman-biologically-barred-from-success-results-of-studies-made.html
• Same as above: https://www.newspapers.com/image/20446795/?terms=Leta%20Stetter%20Hollingworth&match=1
• No publication dates for pictures. Nebraska State Historical Society claims copyright on all materials. https://history.nebraska.gov/sites/history.nebraska.gov/files/doc/publications/NH1975Hollingworth.pdf
• One of the pictures from NSHS is also available here, but again with no publication date: https://russellwarne.com/2020/04/21/leta-hollingworth-was-a-eugenicist-too/
• No date or publication date on poor quality image: http://faculty.webster.edu/woolflm/letahollingsworth.html

If you are able to procure any of these to upload to Commons, the category there is commons:Category:Letta Setter Hollingsworth. If you upload a better quality image, be sure to change the image on Wikidata:Q6533164 (Leta Stetter Hollingworth (Q6533164)). There are infoboxes on other language Wikipedias that use the image value from Wikidata. Peaceray (talk) 02:43, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
