Comment: When making claims like "thought leader"
, that has to come from an independent and reliable source, otherwise it is peacockery and the author's POV. The source cited against that statement (ref #2) does not describe her in those terms. Even if it did, it wouldn't mean much, given that the source is closely associated with her place of employment.The next claim,"significantly shaped [something]"
, is not referenced at all, but assuming the next citation (source #3) is meant to support that statement, then it does not use this phrase, and again is a close primary source, quite possibly written or at least approved by herself. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:55, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
