Wikipedia has very little content concerning indigenous people in Honduras. Deleting one of the only citations of an author who is well known and respected on this topic is inappropriate, and could be construed as xenophobic, racist, and possibly sexist since she's a woman. I strongly recommend that Wikipedia reconsider its position. Mariashafferg (talk) 17:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining your position. Can you point me towards some of the places where other people are talking about her research? I could not find them. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 15:12, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your response. Some people who know Ms. Griffin and her work have been trying to add to this entry, but have not been successful yet. Ms. Griffin worked with a variety of people in Honduras, but the one that we had contact information for is a native Spanish speaker and isn't comfortable writing in English. This may be an issue with other Honduran work colleagues, too. I know that Honduras This Week went out of business years ago. I think the editor or publisher died. Some of the other people Ms. Griffin collaborated with in Honduras may have died as well. Much, but not all, of her work with indigenous Hondurans was grassroots rather than academic. Apparently working with minority populations in what may be considered to be a small, third world country doesn't lead to a lot of exposure in English language publications. In addition, her published work concerning the exploitation of indigenous people and their land didn't endear her to the Honduran government, and I don't know if that made it more difficult for her to get work published. 2601:547:C500:3A70:3592:7090:C6DA:A56D (talk) 17:52, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If there are Spanish language publications, those would be great, too! We do have some bilingual editors. Unpublished/personal information is generally not considered reliable for Wikipedia. This obviously does contribute to systemic bias on Wikipedia--using non-English sources may help with that. My Spanish is not good enough to search for sources in Spanish, but I might be able to cite them if you can find them for me. SomeoneDreaming (talk) 19:30, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
One of Ms. Griffin's friends sent me the following:
Wendy is consulted in this video of La Ciudad Blanca, The White City.
Additional material has been added in order to address concerns that were brought up. I also asked for help from the culture of Honduras page contributors to see if they had any suggestions for improving this article. Also a stub for Honduras This Week was created. Lastly, many of the people that would contribute to this article don't have English as their native language so their contributions to this article is taking more time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lrgriffin3 (talk • contribs) 02:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
