note re: notability

[edit]

Although the article definitely needs expansion, which Chrisclaire or I will get to in the near future, since Mary is a named chair at a major university, she meets WP:ACADEMIC, even in a super stublike article. Plenty of more sources are available about her and her work that should be added in the near future, though. Kevin Gorman (talk) 05:21, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

two mistakes

[edit]

I am new to this and I have made a couple of mistakes here.

One is Mary Dietz always uses her middle initial: Mary G. Dietz. Her full name is Mary Golden Dietz. So this page should really be under either of those names. I think "Mary G. Dietz" would be fine. I don't know how to set this up and redirect.

Two, the template I used is for philosophers; technically Dietz is a political theorist. The two are nearly interchangeable but to get this may need to be fixed. If anyone can help me with either of these things, please do. Thanks. Chrisclaire88 (talk) 16:38, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Chrisclaire88: Hi, I have moved the article to Mary G. Dietz. I haven't been able to find an infobox that is specific to political theorists. I've picked a few random people at List of political theorists to see what infobox they were using, and it was typically Template:Infobox philosopher (Raymond Aron and Jürgen Habermas) or the less specific Template:Infobox person. You may want to ask a relevant WikiProject (WikiProject Philosophy?) for specific guidance. Hope that helps. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 22:47, 22 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
