List of the first female holders of political offices in South America
Paulina Urrutia was the second Minister of Culture of Chile, but the first minister, José Weinstein, doesn't belong in List of the first female holders of political offices in South America. Piaractus (talk) 17:44, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Well that's fine then. I assumed that if the first minister was male then he did not even warrant a mention in your edit-text, which is why assumed that you were referring to an earlier female one. --Aciram (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

Category:Swedish Empire people -> Category:People of the Swedish Empire
Hi there! Would you agree with me that moving the category to the proposed name would be an improvement? I saw that you have edited the category itself as well in the past, hence I decided to visit your talk page. ;-) - LouisAragon (talk) 19:50, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello! Yes I find it a useful category, but when it comes to the exact phrase of its title, I gladly lave that to someone more knowledgeable in the English language than me: I can't be sure which would sound best to an English speaker, but that also means I have no objection to change it. They should of course be phrased in the same way as other categories of the same kind in Wikipedia. I trust you will no better in this issue! Perhaps you would also be interested to change the two following epochs, if those could also be improved. Regards, --Aciram (talk) 20:02, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I didn't exactly get what you mean with "I trust you will no better in this issue!". Haha. Yeah sure, you mean Category:Swedish Empire diplomats? Yes, when the category "Swedish Empire people" will be moved, obviously "Swedish Empire diplomats" will have to get changed as well. - LouisAragon (talk) 20:22, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I meant to say: "I trust you will know better (than me!)"! Sorry about that, but it illustrates my point: my english is not good enough for me to have an opinion here! :) I hope i didn't say anything insulting: English is not my native language, and I have no confidence for my ability to handle the language at all. I also suffer from panic attacks, so I am not the right person to get involved in any projects, I'am afraid! --Aciram (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Nooooo you didn't say anything wrong, don't worry! Your English is good enough, don't worry about that as well. I just wondered about that particular sentence, as it didnt sound completely coherent, thats all : -) Anyways, I will just make a WP:BOLD move and move the categories. If anyone will object, they can always message me or leave a comment on the talk page of the categories. Thanks much for your constructive responses. I can tell you're a kind person. All the best, and if you ever need help, feel absolutely free to let me know. - LouisAragon (talk) 02:27, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

Regarding Maria Sofia De la Gardie
Fair enough. Thanks for your generous efforts with biographic articles on notably prominent female individuals in the Swedish history! By the way, I am in a bit of situation on the Swedish Wikipedia as indicated on my talk page, should you care to contribute. Chicbyaccident (talk) 22:56, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * I see. I'm afraid my anxiety problems to not permit me to participate in any sort of conflicts or anything in Wikipedia outside of my article work. Besides, I know nothing of this conflict and have no more influence on svWp than any other member. Thank you for your acknowledgement! Happy editing, --Aciram (talk) 23:07, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your answer. I regret that. Chicbyaccident (talk) 23:21, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Duchess consort
Was Maria titled duchess during her husband's life? Do you know this? Do you have a source? I don't. I'm not saying it is impossible, but Patricia Skinner, Medieval Amalfi and its Diaspora, 800–1250, p. 125, seems to me to imply otherwise. Srnec (talk) 14:04, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Hello! I appreciate your messages, but I am afraid that I do not have the mental strength to give this more attention, at least not at the moment. Of course the references should be correctly formed, but the main thing is that they are references to the information. At least for now, that would have to be enough. I posted a link to one of the references I used the most as a reference in the page you are talking about, but I am afraid that I do not feel well enough to give this any more attention right now. I apologize to you. --Aciram (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I would not have posted that message to that article talk page if you yourself had not already posted a near identical message to that same page on 20 April 2017 (diff). I judged it useful to post your second reply there so that others who come to the page in the future can see how the conversation ended. If you had been able/willing to be more helpful, I was going to bullet point list the citations on the talk page in plain text, you could have added the extra details in plain text at the end of those points and I would have added them to the article. However as you do not seem willing even to discuss the necessary improvements, it seemed to me to be best to terminate the conversation with your last comment about it. -- PBS (talk) 11:52, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
