@Dunamis44: It is not appropriate to change text saying simply that this is what JE wants! There is a clear conflict of interest in your edits. If there are factual errors in the page then please indicate what is factually wrong and give a reference for the change. With respect to publications please note that scholia gives a considerable list of her publications. With respect to the issue of "moving to Canada", that has now been corrected. Please note that wikipedia pages are not the property of the subject. Changes are not made on the basis of the subject's desires except where factually wrong.

I notice that some edit summaries from Dunamis44 state "from JE". Does that mean that Joanne Etheridge, the subject of the article, has provided Dunamis44 with material to add to the article? This would be a breach of the independent, unbiased nature of Wikipedia editing. A better way for JE to contribute to the development of this article is to post reliable, objective sources about her career and achievements on this talk page. Then, interested editors can read them and use them to develop the article. MurielMary (talk) 11:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dunamis44 makes that claim, only, they have been advised to have that confirmed. There are several reasons I can see to remain sceptical. ~ cygnis insignis 11:55, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @MargaretRDonald:Thanks you for your response and for the changes to the above page. I am aware that Wikipedia pages are not the property of the subject but believe, not unreasonably, that they should describe the subject as accurately as possible. Regarding the choice of publications included in this page, a selection provide by the subject may have been more appropriate rather than a random choice. The link to Scholia is not always helpful as many people will not view beyond the main page.
I will be adding a (copyright verified) photo to the page infobox in the near future.--Dunamis44 (talk) 04:21, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dunamis44: It is considered good wikipedian manners to continue a discussion on the page where it starts or is most relevant. Hence I copied your note to me from my talk page. (See above.) MargaretRDonald (talk) 21:47, 12 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Had the subject supplied a list of publications on her university page, the selection of publications might well have reflected her choices. Her publications are well represented on her wikipedia page both by scholia and by the list of selected publications. It is not appropriate that the publications on the wikipedia page be chosen by her. She may do that at Joanne Etheridge: Publications which at the time of writing this note remains empty.

Hi Dunamis44, great that you appreciate that a WP page is not the property of the subject. This extends to such aspects of the page as the list of publications included. It's up to editors to decide whether to include all the person's publications, or a selection, and if a selection, then which ones to select. As for your comment regarding readers not viewing beyond the main page, I disagree. There is plenty of researched evidence which shows that readers use WP as a starting point for their research into a topic or person, and very frequently click through to links to other pages, to references and to external links.
