She was 17 when they moved to Connecticut, this cannot be "much of her childhood"

Untitled[edit]

I have reverted to a previous version to remove text copied from http://www.readseries.com/auth-bc/coolbio.html . --Slp1 00:30, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

collections only[edit]

It's standard practice to list collected works only on WP - not every short story, poem, song etc. Spanglej (talk) 07:20, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wealthy and Influential[edit]

It would be nice if we could find a way to rephrase the part about Woolsey being born into the wealthy, influential Dwight family. Even though people like the Dwights may be commonly known as "families," they tend to be more along the lines of what anthropolists call sublineages (a lineage is a group of people descended from a common ancestor). Usually there are wealthy and influential branches of the family, plus lots of branches that are just middle-class. I've seen some literature describe Woolsey as descended from the Dwight family.

Wording[edit]

This sentence seems worded poorly, has 'interesting' punctuation, and for some reason, a heart. I'm not sure how much of this sentence, if any, is pertinent to the subject. "The brothers and sisters were modeled on her four younger siblings: Jane Andrews Woolsey, born October 25, 1836, who married Reverend Henry Albert Yardley; Elizabeth Dwight Woolsey, born April 24, 1838, who married ♥ Daniel Coit Gilman and died in 1910.;[2] Theodora Walton Woolsey, born September 7, 1840; and William Walton Woolsey, born July 18, 1842, who married Catherine Buckingham Convers, daughter of Charles Cleveland Convers.[1]"Jtyroler (talk) 09:03, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Coolidge connection?[edit]

Not the commonest name in America. Do we know why she chose it? Was there a link with the future President Coolidge? Valetude (talk) 11:58, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Is there a reason for this being under her real name? Shouldn't this be moved to Susan Coolidge, per WP:common name? Rothorpe (talk) 18:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Works section may have too many details[edit]

I'm considering making changes to this article. The Works section has what I believe to be unnecessary details. In the Books section there is not just the book title and publishing date, but also the publisher and city of publication. One book lists the editor. The Short stories, poems, etc. section gives the name of story or poem, plus name of magazine, magazine issue date, volume, who published the magazine and, at times, names of editors.

I believe it would be best to reduce the Books section to name of book and date of publication. The Short stories, poems, etc. should be changed to Selected stories and poems, and list only some of author's magazine work, with just the name of the story or poem, magazine name and issue date. This would be more in line with how other author's article bibliography sections are done.

If anyone disagrees with my idea of deleting details in the Works section please comment here, so that differing ideas can be discussed. I will not do any work on the Works section for a couple weeks, to allow other editors to give their views. Karenthewriter (talk) 17:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
