Family photograph edit

Of all the possible photos that could have been chosen for the top of the article, couldn't one be found in which the woman doesn't look like a reject from a bikers' gang? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.152.18.131 (talk) 06:06, 5 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agreed. Can we get a better publicly available photo? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.188.171.4 (talk) 23:53, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

A question about vocabulary edit

The section "Family of choice" starts with this sentence: 'The term family of choice, also sometimes referred to as "chosen family" or "found family", is common within the LGBT community, veterans, individuals who have suffered abuse, and those who have no contact with biological "parents".' Why are there quotation marks around the word 'parents'? Is it intended to assert the idea that biological parents don't exist for some people? If so, how, exactly, did these people come into existence? Or is it intended to convey some other idea? Is so, what is this idea? I note that further along in the paragraph, we have the phrase: 'the biological family'. There are no quotation marks here. Are we to assume that there are biological families with no biological parents?

Another vocabulary question is what the word 'roots' means in the picture caption which reads 'Extended family with roots in Cape Town, Kimberley and Pretoria, South Africa'. It is not at all clear to me what the word 'roots' is intended to convey here.

I think some rewriting to clarify the intended meaning is definitely in order.Saintonge235 (talk) 20:17, 23 January 2022 (UTC)Reply
