:Hi, [[User:Thmazing|Thmazing]] I corrected the one in the infobox to match the one in the text, but looking back at it, I don't think I should use Facebook as a source for his birthday (like I did when I created the page in 2017). The information isn't on his Facebook page anymore that I can see. I managed to find a tweet from BCC about it ([https://twitter.com/ByCommonConsent/status/902741542690947074?s=20 here]), but I decided to replace it with the authority record from worldcat, which has only the year. Let me know if you find a more reliable source about his birthdate. [[User:Rachel Helps (BYU)|Rachel Helps (BYU)]] ([[User talk:Rachel Helps (BYU)#top|talk]]) 17:06, 8 June 2021 (UTC) |

Edit Request
I appreciate all of your efforts on Wikipedia--you and your team do great work.
I read an article a couple years ago about a female scientist in England writing a wikipedia article a day on a female scientist to improve the number of female-centric articles. I loved the idea and decided to do something similar, but for female members of the Church. I have completed about 25 so far. I was going to reach out and see if you guys wanted to edit or add to any of them. I am pretty good at sourcing, but my editing skills need work.
Here is a sample list:
- Catherine Stokes
- Janis Mars Wunderlich
- Jennifer Reeder (historian)
- Fiona Givens
- Caitlin Connolly
- Bonnie D. Parkin
- Suzanne Fei
- Melissa Wei-Tsing Inouye
- Bonnie H. Cordon
- Alex Warnick
- Rose Datoc Dall
- Laura Harris Hales
- Erin Morley
- Morgan Lyon Cotti
- Cydni Tetro
- Camille N. Johnson

- Hi Fullrabb, I am just now getting back to work and replying to things. I actually had a similar idea--to improve the pages of prominent Mormon women scientists. I ended up not pursuing it after our first 2-3 pages from it, because other editors perceived our writing about current BYU professors as a Conflict of Interest (COI). We have plenty of work to do that is less controversial. I'm happy to look over your work though--are those linked pages ones that you've worked on? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:14, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
