Pseudo Anthropologist?
edit@Jessamyn I'd like to help with this article. The way it reads makes me pretty uncomfortable. I think it's problematic to represent her as an anthropologist and think we should add "pseudo" in front of that designation. A paper on cranial "jewish-ness" is problematic to present as valid scientific research. Additionally, how do we know she was a sculptor? Seems that the Smithsonian provided a team to do this portion. Thoughts? Slacker13 (talk) 21:56, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah gosh me too. I started this article before I was aware that she had some pretty serious problematic backstory so the text probably needs to be adjusted to account for this. The information in my research seems to be that she was a sculptor (she's created sculptures which were award-winning) but she worked specifically doing forensic anthropology (making faces from skulls) to help the Smithsonian with "ancient Austrians" and then as I was looking for more examples of her work, found the other stuff. So I'll see if I can do a rewrite that is both factual but accounts for, as you say, the lack of sciencey-ness in at least some of the published work she did.

- Let me know if you'd like me to jump in and add to anything after you make your edits. Sorry, didn't mean to make this more work for you, I just, you know, want to make sure we don't provide a platform for problematic behavior. Slacker13 (talk) 15:05, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Not a problem. It's one of the problems with how Wikipedia pages can grow "organically" where one piece of information gets added and then other parts of the article need to be adjusted. I appreciate the nudge, sincerely. Jessamyn (my talk page) 15:06, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Smithsonian Link Does NOT EXIST
editHello! The link to the most relevant resource for notability no longer exists. Slacker13 (talk) 22:29, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hello! Yes this is a weird permalink problem. I'm going to try to adjust it to this link and see if that solves this issue. Jessamyn (my talk page) 16:23, 28 March 2024 (UTC)

editI understand why people don't like including it but it's the only "published" source I can find for her birth date which is supported by unpublished sources. Useful because it helps disambiguate folks with similar names. I'll finad another published source. Rosa Koller at Find a Grave Jessamyn (my talk page) 17:30, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
