Sensational lede
[edit]Indeed Bateman was tried, convicted, and executed for witchcraft, but the lede is sensational. She was convicted of witchcraft, but witchcraft means poison. The reader must get to the end of the article to find that a jury found her guilty of murder. I am going to soften this. Randall Bart Talk 17:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Broken Link
[edit]When I'm typing this, the article contains the statement that its subject once worked as a mantua-maker. The word "mantua", although entirely in lower-case, is hot-text that will, when clicked, lead the reader to the Wikipedia article on the city in Italy that is named "Mantua". It should be linked to a garment called "a mantua". I find this exasperating. I mean, put yourself in the reader's position. One gets to the word "mantua" to describe something that the subject made. One has no idea what a mantua is. One SHOULD be able to merely hover the mouse over it and be informed by a little mini-window. But no. One clicks, goes to Italy, then has to start over with a search for "mantua", avoid the placenames, and it takes forever, plus one must then go back to the original place, open the Talk page, and notify the slackards who run Wikipedia that they should be charged fees for such wastes of time. It is beyond what the public should endure.2600:1700:6759:B000:E894:BFCC:705D:880 (talk) 17:38, 27 March 2024 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
- Alas, there are no "slackards who run Wikipedia" just volunteers putting time and effort in make knowledge freely available for everyone out of their own good faith and will. Thanks for the comment. I have fixed the link. If you'd like to learn to contribute to, I'd recommend WP:Teahouse - we're always keen to welcome new volunteers Lajmmoore (talk) 18:23, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
