This will be a B class article when these issues are addressed. BTW: There are very few military history articles about women, and I'm pleased to see this one. Djmaschek ( talk) 00:58, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for looking in, User:Djmaschek. The article was quite a mess when I found it, with a lot of leftover text from the poorly cited version, so I had envisioned keeping it at C-class. But since you found so little that was needed to take it to B, I went ahead and made your suggested edits as well. How unfortunate it is that Wikipedia was propogating a story that is questioned by scholarly sources, and using non-reliable sources published by her family to do that! I hope it's cleaned up now, thanks again, SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 01:32, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
In edits of 11 July, 162.83.190.171 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) is stating that Ludington's birthplace is Branford. They say it can be cited to Dacquino; a page number is needed. Higher quality sources (Hunt) say Fredericksburg. I can add a footnote saying that sources disagree if IP 162 stops edit warring long enough to allow cleanup.
IP162, edits must be sourced. Books require page nos. If we you want to contradict higher quality sources used here, please provide quotes and page nos from the books you want to use. Other sources indicate Dacquino is not entirely neutral on the topic, and Purple Mountain Press is not high quality. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 23:58, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
In this version, I propose to fix the following:

I would like to state that, the location of birth should be disputed. We can not stand with only one source on this B class article. I personally also agree with ip 162 on the topic of birth location. The reason I think stating Edmond Ogden served with John Paul Jones is important because Sybil later in her life tried to get edmond’s pension. 63.143.104.2 ( talk) 19:09, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
heroine, is a word full of value judgement that conveys nothing. What is she claimed to have actually done? John Pack Lambert ( talk) 14:16, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
