Talk:Isabel Cobb

Wagoner, Oklahoma
, thank you for your contributions and edits. One question I do have is why the addition of "near modern day Wagoner" and the removal of category "People from Wagoner, Oklahoma" from the article? She actually lived in Wagoner, Oklahoma where she died. They have a museum to her in Wagoner and Wagoner is in the same location it has always been. I'm not following the necessity for those changes.Tsistunagiska (talk) 15:33, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, . The "near modern day Wagoner" change was due to the fact that Wagoner didn't exist at the time, so she and her family couldn't move to it.  The Category removal was purely technical as having both categories, a parent and a child cat, is redundant. One already belongs to the other.  I felt in her case after reading the article, that keeping the all encompassing county category was more important than the city one.
 * I hope you don't take my copy-writing edits personally, as I often get very detailed while working on articles from the newer editors. I understand that this is a learning experience for the folks new to Wikipedia editing, and my intent is to teach what our Manual of Style calls for.  If you have other questions about editing or Wikipedia in general, or ever want me to look over one of your creations, feel free to ask.
 * Good job on the article, BTW. You're batting way above the league average for a newer editor.  Regards,  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 16:05, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Oh no! I don't take offense to any edits unless they are overly egregious and clearly defined as vandalism or changing the meaning of the subject. I have always welcomed editing and collaboration to improve an article and educate myself and others. I appreciate your explanation as the description on edits are limited by characters and sometimes can't explain the purpose behind it or I just haven't learned the technical terms yet. You are correct in that Wagoner was incorporated in 1896, well after Isabel and her family moved into the area. I had no idea the parent/child relationship between the two categories but, when explained, it makes much more sense. Thank you for taking the time to answer. I wanted this conversation here so that other editors/readers can learn from the experience and see our collaboration.Tsistunagiska (talk) 16:27, 23 September 2020 (UTC)
