It is requested that a picture or pictures of this person be included in this article to improve its quality. Note: Wikipedia's non-free content use policy almost never permits the use of non-free images (such as promotional photos, press photos, screenshots, book covers and similar) to merely show what a living person looks like. Efforts should be made to take a free licensed photo during a public appearance, or obtaining a free content release of an existing photo instead.

Does this article really need to be so long? Most other academics have a paragraph or two. This article is longer than Charlotte Bronte's article! Can it not be pruned a little? 86.129.40.6 16:35, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I would say that longer is better and contains more information. Wikipedia is not limited by article length. I would say if Charlotte Bronte's article is smaller than it needs work. This encyclopedia should have as much information as it can. It is good for people who want to know about this woman, and that is the point in the first place. I would like more information on what she said to anger the CFS community though. A quote would be nice. SadanYagci 14:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
