Immediate attention

State atheism needs a reassessment of its Importance level, as it has little to do with atheism and is instead an article about anti-theist/anti-religious actions of governments.

Dang...

This reads like a high school intro to philosophy report. Jeez, have Wikipedia standards sunk this low? 209.104.239.26 (talk) 15:24, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning "citation needed"

Dear Friends, without doubt, the missing references are included in the book: Adrian Desmond / James Moore: Darwin, 1991 - but I'm sorry, I only have the german edition Hamburg 1994 (look the new article about Martineau from today in Wikipedia de).

Needs more sources

There seems an over-reliance on one article by Postlethwaite; other sources should be added.Parkwells (talk) 12:13, 19 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One book?

The article starts saying she wrote only one book, then has her writing books and novels throughout her life. Huh?! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.20.158.134 (talk) 22:49, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Material about other people

The article now tells us:

In February 2014, it was reported that London's National Portrait Gallery held several portraits of Harriet, whose great nephew, Francis Martineau Lupton, was the great-great-grandfather of Catherine, Princess of Wales, the gallery's patron.^[1] Harriet was close to her niece Frances Lupton, who worked to open up educational opportunities for women.^[2] In April 2023, Catherine, Princess of Wales visited Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter where her great-great-great-great-greataunt – Harriet Martineau – is buried at the Key Hill Cemetery.^[3]

I don't remember ever encountering an article about somebody that, via a mention of their niece or the niece's son, goes on to say that a great×4 niece visited the burial site, or the area thereof (but not that she thereupon said or did anything noteworthy). I don't believe that this Lupton/Middleton material says anything significant about the person who's the ostensible subject of the article. Suggested abridgement:

In February 2014, it was reported that London's National Portrait Gallery held several portraits of Martineau.^[1]

Hoary, I support your suggested abridgement. TSventon (talk) 14:28, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, TSventon. I'll wait a few days for others' comments. -- Hoary (talk) 22:06, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For (my) "a great×4 niece" above, please read "a great×5 niece". -- Hoary (talk) 02:51, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody suggested that I shouldn't, so a few minutes ago I deleted the material. -- Hoary (talk) 10:24, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
