 * Hi @CorbettPOE I am not an admin but when you make a request, you need to specific and it should be something that is actionable. Have you uploaded the photo to either Wikipedia or WP:Commons so there is a file name? See WP:Uploading images for more information and be mindful of copyright.  Generally, its best to use a photo you took so copyright is clear. What is the misspelling?  For future requests you might find the WP:Edit Request Wizard helpful.

 * Hello there CorbettPOE. S0091 provided a good response above, and in the future, I suggest that you try filing an edit request via the wizard that is linked above if you want to make changes to a protected page and need some help formatting a request.

"Her sixth book, The Red Dog: A Tale of the Carolina Frontier (Lizzy's Yarn), received the 2017 Historical Book Award from the North Carolina Society of Historians.[1]'' Change to "Troxler received three Historical Book Awards from the North Carolina Society of Historians." CorbettPOE (talk) 18:39, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
 * What I think should be changed (format using textdiff):
 * Why it should be changed: This award is not as notable as the subject's non-fiction books are. Also, she received two other awards from this Society, which while well-established and reputable, is not a professional historians' organization. I suggest the text above be deleted; If an editor wishes to use the marked text, you may wish to replace the paragraph with the following and add the following reference to the one that is there.

 * Hi @CorbettPOE, if you can provide the URL directly when making edit requests, that would be very helpful. I've added these to the article, though not quite as you asked for. Please do make another edit request if there is anything else you'd like to change. I'm looking into the other ones you've added to this page as well. -- asilvering (talk) 22:11, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Please change

Continuity and connections in the subject's research and publication do not appear as originally written. Also, the geographic term "lower South" with respect to the loyalists treated is incorrect, and "Stockard" is misspelled as "Stockyard."

I have been told here to use the request edit wiki but the page Carole W. Troxler is extended protected
The subject page is extended protected. I followed wiki for edit request and used template, but I do not have the editing privilege. CorbettPOE (talk) 18:57, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi @CorbettPOE I fixed a couple formatting issues with the templates but other than that, you have successfully submitted your request so someone will be along to review it. I am not sure what the normal turn around is but a month would not be surprising given we are all volunteers.  In the interim, I will at least fix that typo and see if I find someone willing to review it so maybe it will not take as long.  S0091 (talk) 19:43, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @CorbettPOE, I'm going to close the above edit request because I'm finding it hard to understand what references you mean to be adding in the numbered square brackets. If you don't mind, would you respond here with the sources you want used? Just copy-paste the URL/doi of the source, that's fine, I can sort it out from there. In the meantime, I'll try to make some edits that I hope are in the spirit of what you're asking for. -- asilvering (talk) 22:42, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks.

 * Troxler authored a bicentennial history pamphlet for the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources in 1976. In 1977, Troxler was invited to present a paper at the University of Edinburgh during a joint program sponsored by university's School of Scottish Studies and its history department. In March 1988, Troxler was promoted to full professor with Elon College's history department.
 * Troxler's research for Shuttle & Plow: A History of Alamance County, North Carolina (1999) led to later biographies of the African American Reconstruction leader Wyatt Outlaw and Sallie Stockard, a pioneer in women’s higher education. Susan Schramm-Pate wrote that Troxler’s treatment of Stockard is a "masterfully crafted biography."
 * Troxler's 2011 book, Farming Dissenters, is an investigation of the pre-Revolutionary Regulator Movement, which Alan D. Watson characterized as “the most historiographically exciting and controversial topic in North Carolina's past.” Watson found her account of the May 16, 1771 defeat of the Regulators to be "the best account available of the bloodiest confrontation among white English colonials in the eighteenth century." This period is the context for Troxler's Young Adult history novel, The Red Dog, which received the 2017 Historical Book Award from the North Carolina Society of Historians.
 * In 2003, the North Carolina Society of Historians recognized her book, Pyle’s Defeat, and a digital reference she edited, Alamance County, N.C., Transcripts of Census and Tax Records: Vol. 1.

 * Career Troxler has written about white Loyalists who fled the Southern Backcountry during the War of the American Revolution and Black Loyalists who joined the British forces in the Southern Theater. Both groupsleft with the British at the war’s end, and Troxler follows their subsequent lives in the loyal colonies of East Florida, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Bahama Islands.[14] She has treated the pre-Revolutionary Regulator Movement, which Alan D. Watson characterized as “the most historiographically exciting and controversial topic in North Carolina's past.” Watson found her account of the May 16, 1771 defeat of the Regulators to be “the best account available of the bloodiest confrontation among white English colonials in the eighteenth century.” [15] The background of the Regulator upheaval is the context for a book of Young Adult/Adult historical fiction, for which Troxler received a book award from the North Carolina Society of Historians.[16] Her research for Shuttle & Plow: A History of Alamance County, North Carolina (1999) led to later biographies of the African American Reconstruction leader Wyatt Outlaw [17] and the pioneer in women’s higher education Sallie Stockard.

shorten submitted list of publications
I submitted a list of article publications, which now I think is silly and excessive. I am adding chapters from collected works under Books and simply listing the professional journals that have published articles. Thanks. CorbettPOE (talk) 20:20, 2 March 2024 (UTC)


 * @CorbettPOE did you see my response above? For now, I suggest taking this a step at a time.  Right now you have two edit requests so please let those be addressed first before making any additional requests/comments.  S0091 (talk) 20:29, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Absolutely! This can wait. Thank you SO MUCH for taking the time and effort to deal with me. I have taken time off from writing to address this Wikipedia issue, (which I did not instigate), so I happily will return to writing -- as soon as I do taxes. You're a jewel. CorbettPOE (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
 * @CorbettPOE I am aware of the request to have the article deleted (WP:Articles for deletion/Carole W. Troxler) and know you did not create it so are left with dealing with it. Also, I'm not sure what's worse...doing taxes or being a new editor trying to navigate Wikipedia. :) S0091 (talk) 20:40, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
