    Supplement

    I wanted to supplement the article with a few additions from various sources regarding HPB's illness, death and funeral. Even before I saved the changes in the article, I noticed about half a page of warnings about sources. I understood this as an instruction to use other sources. I am not familiar with this, so I gave up on supplements. However, I think it would be a better option if the user waited at least long enough to I save my work. In addition, it would of course be best if someone could help me in this sense by marking inappropriate sources. Thank you for following and I recommend myself for help with editing, if anyone is willing to cooperate in this regard.--Stebunik (talk) 06:42, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

    It is a pity that my work was seriously hampered before I had even finished and saved it. There are some missing and interesting data that would have supplemented the article with useful information. In this form, the article, considering some aspects of HPB's life, which are extremely extensive, comprehensive and thorough, is very deficient with regard to her illness, death and memory. Regardless of what one thinks of her, for example, her travels are extremely extensive, while the subject in question is excessively scanty. In addition, I have found on the Internet an explanation of what led HPB to take the direction she did. Under these conditions, however, I am not prepared to continue this work. Not only am I surprised that requests are coming even before the article is finished. Moreover, I do not understand what other sources I could get. Although some of my sources were probably unreliable, in my judgment they did not distort the facts. If there are no other sources on a particular topic, it would be a good idea to use at least what is available. I could only get additional information from books, which are usually inaccessible. I don't have access to other sources. Such additions were necessary and will have to be written (maybe) by someone else. Since I really couldn't do such a demanding job without the help of an administrator, I hope that someone who understands the issue will do it. Thanks in advance.--Stebunik (talk) 20:33, 16 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
