Dear COI IP-hopper who keeps removing cited facts from this article
Please stop removing cited facts from this article. You appear to have a WP:COI and/or are the subject herself. That means you should stay completely away from this article, and if anything, only make edit requests on this talkpage. If you continue to remove cited facts from this article, you will likely be blocked from editing. Softlavender (talk) 01:31, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
When researching sources, it is necessary to search for both "Sylvia Whitman" and "Sylvia Beach Whitman", since for many years publications were calling her the latter instead of the former. Softlavender (talk) 04:35, 4 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
