WikiProject Women GA expansion

WikiProject Women is focusing on this article for the month of September, hoping to take it to Good Article status. SusunW (talk) 17:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

• "Our Lady of the Lake University to Blackstone College for Girls? reason=The ref says this, but it seems a bit strange that she should go from university to high school and not the other way around." Belle Different sources call it different things: Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School for Girls, Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School for Girls, Our Lady of the Lake University, about equal numbers for each. This is the only source that does not show it being in San Antonio Our Lady of the Lakes near Austin, Texas. I find no such place in Austin. According to the Texas Historical Society, there were only two Our Lady Schools established in Texas -- one in San Antonio and the other in Ft. Worth. Texas Finally found this, which appears to be definitive [p 226 “Sister María Carolina went to Nicaragua…supported the Chicano and feminist movements in her classes at OLLU”. Website for Our Lady of the Lake University shows it is OLLU. Back to p 226 in the book to the foot note at the bottom of the page "Violeta Barrios de Chamorro…had attended Our Lady of the Lake High school some 45 years earlier." So...even though I find no records to say it was operating as a high school at that time frame, apparently they offered high school and college courses.

That seems quite definitive and logical and I think you've handled it sensibly in the text (and if 16 words seems a bit of a let down in response to all your hard work, what can I say? Have some more: well done; bravo) Belle (talk) 23:42, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

NPOV

77.89.148.45 Please stop vandalizing the page. All articles can be improved, but you cannot input your POV into the piece. The sources say what they do. They do not allege. This is not an article giving the Sandinista view it is an article about Chamorro. The proper venue for information on Ortega is in his article. If you want to contrast the differences between her regime and his, the place for that is on a page about the general political scene. His information is irrelevant to hers. Changes need to be discussed on the talk page, as you seem to be unable to edit without inserting POV. Thank you! SusunW (talk) 21:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

As I indicated above where your wording is better, I have no problem using it. I will not edit war with you. The BBC piece you provided says nothing at all about Chamorro's regime. It [1] is talking about the election of Ortega, which has nothing to do with Chamorro. SusunW (talk) 21:34, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

I have also added a reference to make a more balanced presentation of the "political climate" This is not a section discussing specific policies it is one discussing the overall climate. Sandinista policies are not Chamorro's and have no place in her article. SusunW (talk) 22:16, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

The repeated insertions of "alleged" or "she thought" cannot remain. None of the sources use that language. I did not make your change about assist her campaign because that implies a passive action. Taking action to "level the field" clearly shows that the US was meddling in the election. SusunW (talk) 22:29, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

Children

subsequently, they had five children together. The article mentions only four, in accord to spanish and russian wikis which have also 4 children. - Melilac (talk) 09:03, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Uncited statements

Subject article is a Good Article. 2001:8003:801f:f800:2042:810f:6ec5:6bb2, you are welcome to add cited information having to do with Chamorro, but uncited materials having to do with later administrations do not belong in her article. SusunW (talk) 01:35, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

Infant Mortality and Life Expectancy

Why was there a source here for so long reporting that both metrics above deteriorated? The World Bank's data suggests it improved. John Not Real Name (talk) 20:15, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
