So was the woman's last name "Sullivan" or "Macy"? Which one was it? 174.71.92.119 ( talk) 06:38, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
It would be wonderful if you would add my website for my distant cousin, Annie Sullivan, to your great and accurate page "Anne Sullivan Macy." Thank You, cmburke@anniesullivan.org ( 173.2.88.197 ( talk) 01:47, 3 September 2010 (UTC)).
I noticed that the area of text in the beginning of the article is incorrect (in grammer in my opinion) and the html is showing on the article. The book reference also has an incorrect html layout. I checked now, its been hours, and still no change. I made this text to bring this matter to attention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.4.248.126 ( talk) 04:54, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
I don't know how to list a reference or create a citation, but the one needed for Anne Sullivan's burial is at Findagrave.com ( http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=sullivan&GSfn=anne&GSby=1866&GSbyrel=in&GSdy=1936&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=659&df=all& There is a picture of the wall plaque for Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller on that page. A better shot of it is on the Helen Keller entry at this link: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=567&PIpi=76331 Can someone please edit this in? Thanks.

I would like to replace the photo with this higher resolution image

Not done: I am reluctant to use that file because the uploader claimed it to be their own work instead of correctly attributing the photo and noting that the copyright has expired. Please click on the current image to see the correct attribution. If you would like to re-upload the image correctly, you can re-open this request. Thanks,

The first paragraph says Anne was eight when she contracted the bacterial infection that damaged her eyesight. Later in the article, the age is given as five. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NTgenes ( talk • contribs) 15:58, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

Wouldn't Keller have been 39 or 40 depending on which month the Census was taken? -- Bronwyn Gannan ( talk) 09:33, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
I will correct the date of birth in this article. In the biography of Helen Keller it says April 4, 1866. Here it is also dated April 4.-- Zartesbitter ( talk) 14:38, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Shouldn't you just have the date? The only thing that this does is make it so that every year it has to be changed. JazzaMATE ( talk) 03:00, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

I will be adding my own photo of the Anne Sullivan Memorial in Feeding Hills to the Childhood section. Neville2023 ( talk) 13:31, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

The third paragraph of the "Childhood" section states:
"In 1875, as a result of reports of cruelty to inmates at Tewksbury, including sexually perverted practices and cannibalism, which she partook in, the Massachusetts Board of State Charities launched an investigation into the institution."
There are several major problems with this. First of all, the cited source in reference [5] makes zero mention of sexual abuse or cannibalism at Tewksbury or any subsequent investigation. Second of all, "which she partook in" implies that 9 year-old Sullivan was somehow a perpetrator rather than a victim. Thirdly, 1875 would have likely been one year before Sullivan even arrived at Tewksbury according to this article, which implies that she arrived at age 10:
"When she was eight, her mother died from tuberculosis, and her father abandoned the children two years later for fear that he could not raise them on his own. She and her younger brother, James (Jimmie), were sent to the run-down and overcrowded almshouse in Tewksbury, Massachusetts"
by the way, the [citation needed] sections in the paragraphs above and below the paragraph I mentioned actually are supported directly by reference [5]
