Untitled
[edit]The daughter of British-American immigrants, her family worshipped at historic First Baptist Church in Providence, Rhode Island, where she worshipped starting at the age of three. Apart from the comment on her ancestry, this hardly seems relevant. At the very least it should be demoted to a lower section. Dajon (talk) 05:06, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
Ken Burns film
[edit]I don't think a press release belongs in this article, but here is the link for someone who wants information for updating https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Ken_Burns#Filmography and for creating a wikipedia page for the film. MichelleInSanMarcos (talk) 00:12, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
Loaded with "citation needed"
[edit]A previous editor abused the use of citation needed templates with little regard for the already cited material. I went ahead and reorganized the information, added citations, and removed the overwhelming number of templates and hidden comments. Wikipedia already has a backlog of these, so please use them sparingly and be sure to attempt to verify that the information has already been cited before adding a citation needed tag. Thank you.

I glanced over these changes, and wish to express my gratitude to User:Azcolvin429 for undertaking this cleanup. Many of the remaining citation needed templates could refer to the Ken Burns film, particularly the Feigl reference. Query: would it be appropriate for the article to cite information from a documentary film? ArthurOgawa (talk) 15:54, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
- Citing a documentary can have its controversies; however, in this case, the quality and reputability of the documentary alongside the fact that the information within can be verified elsewhere gives it its credibility. Further, the documentary was published accompanied by a "companion" book which has a great deal of references; lending support to the reliability of the history of Martha Sharp. Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 23:24, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
- Also, I went ahead and added a scholarly journal citation. From reading this source, the article appears to reliable and corresponds well. Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 00:20, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
What is her name?
[edit]There seems to be conflicting information about Martha's full name. A recent edit changed her name to Martha Alice Dickie. But the lead says Ingham. Websites and sources all have different combinations. Is her name really Martha Alive Ingham Dickie Sharp Crogan? Andrew. Z. Colvin • Talk 07:48, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
