Dean at Hartford

[edit]

Our article says she became the first dean at Hartford in 1940. This source (which I can only see in snippet view) says that she was the successor to Helen W. Randall, and this source calls Randall the first dean. Is there some way to resolve this apparent contradiction? —David Eppstein (talk) 21:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with the Hartford University Blog, that said she was the second, also since she became dean in 1940 and the College was founded before. The obituary is probably wrong. --Elisa.rolle (talk) 21:38, 21 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The obituary also misspelled Abyss as Abess, which the writer of the article did not pick up. The correct spelling is given in the Wikipedia article on the book The Abyss (Yourcenar novel). Xxanthippe (talk) 22:57, 27 September 2017 (UTC).[reply]

This [1] appears to be the diff in which the inaccurate information was added. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:38, 28 September 2017 (UTC).[reply]
Xxanthippe: this is an uneccessary thread, as I said above, but I did not question that I "missed" a wrong info from an official source (that btw is a leading journal). I questioned that I'm not the "writer" of this article, I'm just "one editor". Said that, the main point is that the thread you started is not on topic. You found the mistake, you copyedited it. Good. Then what?Elisa.rolle (talk) 07:50, 29 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
