I can assure you that Jessie, like me was no feminist. I have achieved some "firsts" as well in my career. I hide them because I do not want the feminists to exploit me or my achievements. I tried to write a decent, historical article on Jessie but have been thwarted at every step. I cannot remove my entry and name from the history but I wish I could. I feel very ashamed of what is now the entry. Be assured, what is here it is not my contribution. Nor do I want any of my extensive reseach included in the article. I very much regret starting this page. Any of my research that people try to sneek in will need to be accompanied by appropriate references. Fortunately my references are not recorded. Do not believe everything you read, either. Check it all out for yourself first. That can be quite expensive.
Also, Wikipedia does not like articles like this one starting with the name of the person. I know from personal Wiki'dia experience. Phala 12 May 2007
- Jessie was not a feminist, however she one of the first female doctors and her efforts were both aided and applauded by feminist groups and this cannot be ignored. The information deleted did not reference feminism at all, instead it was formatting (which made the relatively lengthy article easier to read), information about her younger years and information about her later years and death. As such it has been reverted. If you have any extensive research to add then by all means do so, but remember that wikipedia is a place for all the facts, not just those that we prefer to view.
- Also I've looked around and most biographies on wikipedia have the person's name at the start (in bold), however we can call a more experienced editor to verify this. Guycalledryan 13:33, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
- I've rewritten the last paragraph, hopefully this removes any suggestion that Aspinall was a feminist Guycalledryan 13:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
