"Hamilton never married and is now generally regarded as lesbian.[5]"[edit]

This sentence from the article has a citation from something called NNDB. Is that enough to make it correct to say she is "generally regarded..."? In any acase whether she was lesbian or not, it sounds funny to say someone is generally regarded as one. A more likely statement would be that she is generally regarded as a famous author on ancient civilizations.2601:7:7700:1A6:9031:6C2F:7613:CDE0 (talk) 05:45, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have deleted the claim on the grounds stated above, as well as on the fact that NNDB is not a reliable source. Thanks for bringing attention to this problem. --Saddhiyama (talk) 11:19, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"German-American"?[edit]

"German-American"? What evidence that she has German ancestry? It appears to me that she would be better described as a "German-born American." TuckerResearch (talk) 01:23, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see someone removed "German-"—okay. TuckerResearch (talk) 01:48, 26 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

She was born in Germany, but both of her parents were Americans who were living abroad at the time of her birth. Article content is updated with citations. Rosalina523 (talk) 22:08, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"modern influences" section, why?[edit]

This section seems to be two reviews for two of her works and a trivia piece about JFK. I fail to see the relevance of these reviews or even how a review from 1930, Australia, could be considered modern, or influential. Secondly the JFK section really adds nothing to the article and would be better suited to an article on the specific work mentioned. Crambidae (talk) 16:00, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
