References to Maine are copyediting errors, not fact[edit]
I discovered that this 2008 copyedit and disambiguation accidentally introduced to this article the (incorrect) idea that Ryan was from Maine. The editor in question apparently missed that MA is the abbreviation for Massachusetts, not Maine. This error was further propagated in October 2018 when another editor changed the "MA" abbreviation to "ME" (for Maine) and copied the Maine reference to the infobox. It should be clear from the section headers, not to mention the sources, that Ryan was from Waltham, Massachusetts (not the town of the same name in Maine). She not only had an architectural practice in Waltham, Mass, she went to school in Massachusetts and was buried in Waltham, Mass. Searching for her name in conjunction with Maine only turns up material that was derived from this article. I'm recording this here so we don't accidentally further propagate these errors. Thank you for your attention. (cc: @RHaworth and Frederika Eilers:) --Krelnik (talk) 19:03, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
