I made this article less of a laudatory bio/résumé and more of an encyclopedia article. I believe the original text of this article was copied from somewhere: it behooves us to find out where. - montréalais

It is from this NASA webpage: http://www.quest.arc.nasa.gov/women/TODTWD/jemison.bio.html

So it should be uncopyrightable, right? --rmhermen

I would say so. Yet another reason we should always cite our sources -- many other websites probably have the exact same text as the NASA website. If somebody were to do a Google test on the text he/she may see the other sites using the text and not the NASA one. Then we are faced with one user wrongly accusing another of copyright infringement. I just place the URL of public domain text in the edit summary to avoid this. --mav

the first woman of color to go into space - were all the previous women transparent? -- Zoe

Har, har, har. - Montréalais

I'm reverting this back to Mae Jemison. We don't normally include unimportant middle names in article titles. -- Zoe

To clarify, you can't "revert it back" because it was never at Mae Jemison to begin with. But I approve of the change. - Montréalais
