Anderson vs Robertson

[edit]

The article mentions “Anderson” several times, but I suspect that was intended to be Robertson who is the cofounder of Tartine. 172.103.187.221 (talk) 17:35, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

suggest deletion of Liz's daughter's medical condition

[edit]

The article says "Prueitt went into premature labor, and their daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy." Chad & Liz's daughter is still a minor. As a young teen she'd be horrified that this information was so public (if she knew - I don't think she knows). If no one cares, I'd suggest deleting it. There are SO many more interesting things to say about Liz than her daughter's medical condition. I checked with Liz (my sister) and she strongly agrees.

Is it your bot that keeps deleting the entry I've put in about Prueitt's cake recipe being featured in Oprah's O Magazine? The cake is described in O Magazine and others as being "lemon cake filled with layers of caramel, lemon cream, and lemon-grapefruit curd" topped with hand-formed sugar flowers. Is that what's glitching this entry? Could you explain so I can change whatever is objectionable? SCPL (talk) 01:48, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am not a robot, I am a volunteer on this website. If you read these sentences from the article I linked (Conflict of interest (COI) editing involves contributing to Wikipedia about yourself, family, friends, clients, employers, or your financial and other relationships. COI editing is strongly discouraged on Wikipedia.), you would have noticed that you need to use the {{edit COI}} template to make this request. Henceforth, it is not a glitch, and it can be reinstated by using the template linked in the reply. Thank you. DACartman (talk) 01:52, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, @Sara Prueitt. I completely get why you'd like to have as little information as possible here. Medical conditions are rather sensitive, and I think it's best to err on the side of privacy. In this individual case, I think the fact that your niece has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy will likely need to be included, since the sources indicate that it both impacted her mother's career and caused her to found a non-profit. Those are pretty big details to leave out of a biography, and a lot of the sources in the article make reference to them. However, as a compromise, I've removed her gender and exact year of birth for now. (Though I can add them back in later if her mother is okay with that). I can't stop anybody from adding those details back later, but this seemed to be a reasonable solution for now. I've also removed the fact that she was born prematurely - the source only made passing reference to that fact, and I don't think leaving it out hinders our reader's understanding of Prueitt's life.
I'm also going to echo the advice to use the edit COI template going forward, though it's not required in this particular instance. I do reccomend it, however, because it's really hard to edit neutrally about people or organizations you know. However, I've taken a look at your reverted edits, and your tone has been fine. The main issues are with sourcing. I can add the books she's published, and summarize the reviews they got. The Oprah fact is interesting. Do you have any sources discussing it? I might be able to add a mention of it in a "Publications" section. Similarly, the blog is interesting, but I'm going to have a hard time talking about it without sources. I might add it as an external link for now, because it sort of seems to be her official website in a way and those are generally fine to add to external link sections. But, if you can't tell by now, the thing Wikipedia cares the most about is sources. These can be things such as newspaper articles about her or reviews of her books in magazines.

I am echoing GLL's sayings here. I respect your wishes, and I was a little aggressive, and I apologize for that. DACartman (talk) 16:12, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
