Unbelievable that the first paragraph of the introduction starts with the negative view, "She has never held a formal job." Obviously written by someone with an agenda. Much more objective would be the statement, "She has worked as a homemaker and raised five children and has not held a formal job."
User:Pro crast in a tor says in edit comment:
trying not to lean on official bio too much (which is the reason this article got deleted previously)
As I read the history, it got deleted because it was a WP:Copyvio of the official bio, which is different. There's nothing wrong with using the official bio as a reference for citing factual statements, like where she went to school and the like. Wasted Time R 19:58, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm sure I must be related to a princess too. I'm going to delete the similar statement in this article, unless some close connection is shown between Ann Romney and Princess Lilian.Ferrylodge (talk) 17:58, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
This was in a footnote, but I'm taking it back out. In this edit, User:84.50.18.93 gave two sources for this, http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/search/AF/pedigree_view.asp?recid=7985599&familyid=1946789&frompage=99 and http://www.thepeerage.com/p10337.htm, but I don't see the connection: the William Davies in the first married a Margaret Thomas, while the William John Davies of the second married a Gladys Mary Curran. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wasted Time R (talk • contribs) 17:39, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
It is not a tradition in Massachusetts for a governor's spouse to play any significant public role. Add to that the fact that Massachusetts is one of only 3 states without a governor's mansion, and you'll see why real Bay Staters never use the term "First Lady of Massachusetts."

Pulled this out due to objections, but isn't it instructive to put this into the context of general criticism of Mormon values by feminists? Rosen claims that Mitt doesn't believe that women are equals, but this appears to be based on beliefs by non-Mormons that the church is sexist. LGBT activists are among the most vocal critics of the Mormon church and its values. Redhanker (talk) 01:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
The Mormon church is often criticized for its intolerance of LGBT issues and for promoting traditional roles for women[1] but teaches that men and women are to be equal partners in the home[2]

The Twitter digital campaigning has become increasingly significant. Ann Romney opened a Twitter account specifically to seize the opportunity to reply to Hilary Rosen. No doubt the Romney campaign team assisted her in all aspects (1) technology; (2) crafting her short sentences with two points to make. There is a lot to note here on Wikipedia here with this significant development in the 2012 presidential campaign! Of course, we will keep it succinct and pertinent to the Ann Romney WP article.

Does anyone know if Ann Romney was present during the Shamus the Dog incident? 205.132.119.8 (talk) 18:34, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
In the Early life section, the article states "she decided on her own to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints during 1966. ... (Within a year her two brothers followed her in converting.)"
In the Marriage and children section, the article states that in 1969, "her family could not attend since they were non-Mormons".
These statements appear to contradict each other, and an explanation is therefore needed in the article. Coyets (talk) 08:46, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
I recently undid a move to change the infobox pic. The suggested pic was off-center and from below. The current pic is centered and taken at a proper level. —Eustress talk 01:13, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

I support it. --Happyme22 (talk) 03:38, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
I have two questions about the section that talks about Ann and Mitt's marriage. First, it says that they were married by a "church elder". However, the link is to the article Elder (Latter Day Saints) instead of Bishop (Latter Day Saints) or Branch president, since more often than not it would be one of these who would perform a marriage. But, since I don't know who actually performed the ceremony, I wanted to clear it up. Second, the section states that they were married in a civil ceremony, and then had a temple sealing the next day. I was under the impression that the Church's policy is that you had to wait a year before being sealed if you were married outside of the temple first. Again, I don't know if this has changed, if it's written backward, or if I simply have bad information. Please clear this up for me if anyone can. Thanks. Natt the Hatt (talk) 02:38, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
If anyone has access to one of those scripts that turns ISO-style "2002-03-22" dates into American-style "March 22, 2002" dates, this article could use the conversion. I made the choice for ISO back when I first started expanding this article in September 2007, but since then the trend for articles like this has been to switch to American style.

Speaking of conversion, the article says she converted to Mormon, but doesn't say what she converted from. Did she have a religion prior to this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.42.67.113 (talk) 09:21, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

As of Dec 25, 2018 her twitter account/page claims 24 not 23 grandchildren. The page appears protected, but this probably should be changed in the lead to reflect this (although I don't know what she believes necessary to be counted in that set (i.e adopted, step, foster, informal, etc.) compared to what Wikipedia's definition is....72.16.99.93 (talk) 20:15, 25 December 2018 (UTC)
In October 2021, Mitt announced the arrival of their 1st great-grandchild and why is 24 written in words and not in numbers? [11:22, November 26, 2021 2a00:23c5:80e:6800:c9d3:ee44:9d6e:7279]

In the first paragraph below the photo/info section, change: She converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1966. To: She converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in 1966. Specifically the “t” needs to be capitalized Citation: https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/style-guide “The” is officially part of the Church’s name.
