This article has numerous problems, including the fact that it seems to be written with extreme adoration for this person. As such, it seems very POV and not encyclopedic. I have altered it to remove a few of the more obvious examples, added a cleanup tag and done some minor copy-editing. I highly recommend that someone who cares or knows more about the subject (I got here by clicking "Random article", as I often do) go through and fix up the article. 0x0077BE ( talk) 19:21, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
The article was her obituary, as written by her best friend Evelyn Watts (deceased) and published in The Guardian. Vendeka ( talk) 13:10, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Be that as it may, Wikipedia isn't a newspaper, it's an encyclopedia. My above comments strongly stand. Also, what is the rationale for a wholesale reprinting of an obituary? 0x0077BE ( talk) 03:58, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
Agreed about encyclopedia. The obituary was just the starting point for an important historical figure in lesbian herstory. More to follow, when time permits. Vendeka ( talk) 09:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.16.217.180 ( talk)
I've removed the cleanup tag, as the article looks much nicer now than it did 3 years ago. I think there are still some little things that could use some editing - one quick example is at the end of "Education" is this sentence: "After passing her Matriculation (University entrance) in 1935 Esmé abandoned formal education and at the age of 16 moved to London, found a boyfriend and through necessity lived a frugal life." Seems a bit weird. Not sure what the author was going for so I'll leave it there fore now. I think the article can still use expansion but it hardly needs the cleanup tag. Good job Vendeka! 0x0077BE ( talk) 17:55, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
The article is still terrible.
