[edit] In development
My wife user:lfinder is continuing to develop this page. She is doing research to expand the page without direct plagarism (cut and paste). Please give comments here to help her expand. Naraht 19:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks you SimplyCM
I hope SimplyCM reads this. I consider this user's contributions to be more than helpful for me. Thanks! Lfinder 20:00, 8 April 2006 (UTC)lfinder
You're very welcome, Lfinder. Thank you for the nice comment. I'm glad I could help. Simplycm 20:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Copying
I've noticed some of the wording is too close to that in the external links. It must be reworded, as copyright violations are illegal. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 22:01, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
- Haven't checked exactly how closely worded it is, but if it really is a problem then possibly the user who added them can try asking permission. Wouldn't be too surprised if it is given. Mathmo Talk 03:33, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] link to Ambleside Online
Ambleside online states that you need permission to link to them. Would simply having the URL on Wikipedia without the brackets (so that the user would have to copy the URL into the part of the browser that they type URLs into) be acceptable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Naraht (talk • contribs) 18:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC).
Why should it be anywhere in the article? The article is about the person not the College, although I think I was right to have added the mention of the College. Ambleside Online has got nothing to do with Charlotte herself. --Bduke 22:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bangor?
Where is Bangor, England? There are two Bangors in Wales, one of which is sometimes erroneously described as being in England, even though it is no where near the English border. There are two Bangors in Ireland, one in the Republic and one in Northern Ireland. Is it a section of Liverpool or was Charlotte actually born in Wales or Ireland? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.230.141.75 (talk) 16:38, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
The main 'Bangor' in on the North Wales Coast & is where CM was born —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.139.62 (talk) 11:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] General comments on the article
I have boldly done some editing of the article. I felt that every other line needed a Ref template adding to it as they make claims that cannot be verified without a reference. I removed a couple of the most far fetched claims. There are a number of sources listed under References section but they are not linked to the text - it would help the article if they could be.
The lead paragraph teases us with "Her ideas led to one of the primary methods of homeschooling." but it never gets mentioned again - so we never do find out the secret.
I could not follow the logic of "Since Mason lived in England, her students learned French as a second language." but I left it for now.
It is not clear what is meant by "Classical education". Is it this or something else?
