Talk:Lyn Duff

Untitled

A simple Google search for "lyn duff lesbian" yields numerous pages referring to Ms. Duff's coming-out/kidnapping story. I'm reverting to the version of the page that included these details. If it is someone's contention that these events did not occur, please cite references and do not simply remove whole portions of the article that seem to be a important reason this person is notable in the first place.

Include with LGBT/Queer Studies

The article, in my view, conforms to the guidelines that it should be included with those relevent to Bold textLGBT/Queer StudiesBold textseries. Lyn/Athena's apparent devotion to children's rights grew out of her personal struggle against anti-gay "reparative therapy" forced upon her as a child.Buddmar 20:44, 26 May 2007 (UTC)buddmar

I tagged it to be included in WikiProject LGBT studies.  – AMK1211^talk! 02:55, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Did she sue Rivendell?

The article Reparative therapy says Duff sued Rivendell. However, this article mentions only her emancipation case. Did she sue Rivendell, and what was the result?

Early years

In this section is this sentence:

• "After seeking help from the ACLU, the South Pasadena Unified School District agreed to allow Lyn Duff to return to school."

Perhaps the School District did seek help from the ACLU, but it seems more likely to me that the young student did? Someone who knows the story should clarify this. Thanks. --Hordaland (talk) 15:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Copycat?

I found another website that gives her bio verbatim. http://www.smso.net/Lyn_Duff . Even the sources are exactly the same, but I don't find anything on it that cites Wikipedia as a reference. Can anyone explain this? --Crackthewhip775 (talk) 03:54, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Involuntary conversion therapy

This bulk of this section was originally sourced with "emails" in violation of WP:RS. Now that those have been removed, there are only 3 sentences cited with inline citations and 1 of those is dead. The section has privacy issues, and contentious claims and per BLP that content must be removed. This is mainly a courtesy to editors not familar with WP:BLP. The only remedy is to provide good sourcing: removal of this content is clearly within policy and not subject to WP:3RR. Lionel (talk) 02:10, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

The information was present in articles that were already cited, and The Advocate is not grapevine. If you have a problem with the sources, bring it to talk, but don't pretend the sources don't exist. Roscelese (talk) 03:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

"Pretend the sources don't exist"? Don't understand your accusation: the content removed had no inline citations and was unsourced. (Except the part about her being homeless which is not verifiable due to dead link.) Lionel (talk) 03:17, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Removing content cited to three separate sources and explaining in the edit summary that it was unsourced is a pretty good example of pretending sources don't exist, wouldn't you say? Inline citations are another matter - they are there now (because I can't be on Wikipedia 24/7) - but I should think there's a difference between pointing out a lack of inline citations when the actual information has been laid out plainly for you - and slashing out content that doesn't suit your personal biases and hoping no one will notice.

References removed

Extransit recently reverted an edit that added a few references to the article. I'm not adding them back because there doesn't seem to be any problem sourcing the article's content, but I just thought I should leave this in an accessible place so that if any of the statements are contested, we have more references to look at. Here's the revert. Roscelese (talk) 02:08, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Lyn Duff is Athena Kolbe?

This is a credible source stating that Lyn Duff is/was a pen-name for Athena Kolbe. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/author-of-lancet-article-on-haiti-investigated/article1103480/ This seems like relevant, important information for both these Wiki pages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena_Kolbe — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.147.87.243 (talk) 19:12, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

CONTROVERSY

according to the work of the American anthropologist Timothy Schwartz, The great Haiti Humanitarian Aid Swindle published in 2017, Lyn Duff, who sometimes calls himself Kolbe, would have manipulated, rigged the figures of his surveys in Haiti. she would also be responsible for a training scam for Haitian students. the research carried out by Schwartz is supported by many elements, serious arguments. 2A01:CB09:E03C:2329:1458:F64:9375:71C7 (talk) 22:06, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
