"Lenski received no help with household chores from her new husband"

Is it really necessary to libel her husband with such a sweeping statement? How does the author of the article know this? For this to be factually true, the husband must not have (for instance) carried his dish to the sink even once. --Kerry (talk) 15:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I also found this line problematic. Without a clear reference, it seems like Original Research. And as the primary contributor has not modified it or replied here in two years, I have removed it. Boneyard90 (talk) 10:39, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been reverted by a bot to this version as part of a large-scale clean-up project of multiple article copyright infringement. (See the investigation subpage) This has been done to remove User:Accotink2's contributions as they have a history of extensive copyright violation and so it is assumed that all of their major contributions are copyright violations. Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases. Accordingly, the material may be rewritten, but only if it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Please see our guideline on non-free text for how to properly implement limited quotations of copyrighted text. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously.

Lois Lenski collections and papers

[edit]

(quote) Her papers are held at University of California, Berkeley,[5] and University of North Carolina, Greensboro.[3]

We provide Ext links for those two. The latter refers to four other "Lois Lenski Collections". Here I have fixed two of the three broken links; the other (ISU) may be a correct address for restricted material.

  • Lois Lenski collection at Illinois State University.
[1] -- Special Collections, no access
  • Lois Lenski collection at The University of Montana Museum of Fine Arts.
Books and Book Illustrations inclg "drawings by Lois Lenski for her children's books."
  • Lois Lenski collection at Syracuse University.
Raising Rebels: an exhibition of radical children's literature
  • Lois Lenski collection at The University of Southern Mississippi.
Lois Lenski Papers in the USoMiss De Grummond Collection

Update/Expansion in progress

[edit]

I'm working on expanding this piece (started out trying to fix problematic citation in previous version and got carried away). I plan on adding sections on Lenski's literary approach and on critical reception. Womump (talk) 07:36, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
