Recent editing patterns

I know it's Black History Month - which might explain why this article has become a vandalism target in recent weeks - and I'm reluctant to suggest that it be protected, given the scope for genuine improvements to be made to the article. But... would it be better if it were protected for a while? Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:22, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

I've now proposed that the article be semi-protected. Ghmyrtle (talk) 23:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Strange way to choose a husband

From the order of the Career section in the current article, it appears to claim in the first paragraph that she first began her haircare products and chose the name Madame C. J. Walker, and _then_ in the second paragraph, she found a husband with the same name (C. J. Walker). Clearly, that time-ordering is not correct, but the article's order implies some very strange reasoning for her choice of husband! It would be far clearer if her meeting her future husband was introduced earlier, so it may be clear why she chose the name for her company. Ex0du5 5utu7e (talk) 17:48, 14 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out! Obviously something had gone amiss in previous edits, so I have now corrected the sentence order. Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:08, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
