The article shows wrong picture of the first wife of Robert Gould Shaw II

The picture is the painting of Nancy Viscountess Astor by John Singer Sargent, not of Nancy Witcher Langhorne, first wife of RGS II. Grencove (talk) 13:46, 17 July 2014 (UTC) grencove[reply]

Nancy Witcher Langhorne is the same person as Nancy Astor. SNUGGUMS (talk · contribs) 22:07, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete IMDb and Find-a-Grave

WP says that neither IMDb nor Find-a-Grave are Reliable Sources, as they are user generated rather than published secondary sources; they should only be shown as External links.Parkwells (talk) 20:55, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Pauline Agassiz Shaw

@User:SNUGGUMS Why did you revert my redlink of Pauline Agassiz Shaw? She founded a school for immigrants in the North End of Boston, she introduced kindergarten to Boston schools, she's mentioned in many articles on Jstor, and she's included in the Boston Women's Heritage Trail. [1] She is clearly a notable person who needs to be included in Wikipedia. I'll put her on my To Do list, but it may be a while, and it would be nice if someone else could get to it sooner. That's the purpose of redlinks, to call attention to such omissions. If I've got the wrong Pauline, please explain. Rosekelleher (talk) 08:51, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My rationale can be found here, though I noticed she has since gained a standalone article. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:28, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
