Talk:Edith McKay

See also list
The "See also" list was added by an anonymous editor. Based on the ones I checked, I think what they will all have in common is the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service. I think the anonymous editor was trying to do was to draw the reader's attention to other women in that service. However, as the Scottish Women's Hospitals for Foreign Service article has a long list of people in it, I think it's not necessary to repeat the individuals in a "See also" in this article and they could be deleted from here. I think we are seeing a well-intentioned but inexperienced Wikipedian at work. Kerry (talk) 07:50, 22 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Kerry, thanks for this. I am pretty inexperienced myself, so this is good to know. I changed around some ‘see also’ entries on all of these people. I took off a few that didn't even seem connected to the Scottish women’s hospital group. But do you think the individuals who have done similar things are not really what ‘see also’ is about at all? If so, I can go back and removed them all?AdaWoolf (talk) 08:22, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has a policy for just about everything (or at least it seems that way!). In this case, it is MOS:SEEALSO. It gives examples of good and bad uses of "See also" but it does make clear that items in the list must have an obvious connection to the current article, either just from reading the name of the other article or by adding some words of explanation. If the other women listed are all involved in the Scottish Womens Hospital, I think you can delete the whole list, but if you prefer, you could link directly to the list on the organisation's page, so just put in the "See also", a direct link to the list in organisation's article. If you are not aware, you can link to sections of articles not just the whole article, so below I have linked directly to the list of volunteers

 * Oh okay cool. That makes sense, so I will make those changes tomorrow. Thank you for your advice and the link to the policy. I appreciate it!
