The CBSS founding fathers[edit]

Is Margaretha af Ugglas one of the founding fathers, or perhaps one of the founding mothers? Perhaps the footnote should use a gender-neutral word, such as officials, instead of fathers.

Is a footnote the proper place for this list?--Dthomsen8 (talk) 02:16, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest simply using "founders" and leaving gender out of it. It does seem like a list of the founders could be integrated into the history text of the article. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 04:40, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a good plan to me.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 01:32, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
