Ouida
can i just ask for the thinking behind removing the victorian catagory from Ouida, who spend most of her life living under the reign of Victoria. thanks. Edmund Patrick – confer 07:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Yes, you may. She is already placed in the "Victorian women writers"-category, and that is a subcategory to the "Women of the Victorian era"-category: the entire "Victorian women writers"-category and everyone in it is thus already placed in the "Women of the Victorian era"-category, so there is no need to place her in the "Women of the Victorian era"-category when she is already in the "Victorian women writers"-category and that entire category is in turn already placed in the "Women of the Victorian era"-category. --Aciram (talk) 23:11, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll return to undo what I have done!!!Edmund Patrick – confer 08:08, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Plantin-Moretus articles
I hadn't noticed that you had worked on the articles for Plantin and Moretus family members, but then I read from you that you had done so. I have mostly written articles about people from the U.S. and the U.K. If I have done anything that you don't agree with, I am very open to hearing about it. My goal is always to improve as I go, but there may be some things that are outside your approach. That would be good to know.–CaroleHenson (talk) 04:08, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I write mainly about women before (or during) the 19th-century, and almost always from non-English speaking Europe (Sweden, Norway, Austria, Bulgaria etc), so if you edit an article of a non-English speaking European woman before the 19th-century, there is always a chance it was written by me. I wrote about those women who managed the Plantin Press during the 17th- and 18th-century, but it was mainly stubs if I remember correctly, so I'm just happy they are expanded. Thank you for letting me know, I will. --Aciram (talk) 13:36, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Thank you very much, that was kind of you! I have always focused on women's history and translated articles from that subject between different language versions, so it came natural to me. --Aciram (talk) 03:18, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It has been so much fun working with you on this article. Today there were some lovely surprises that showcase your search skills: printers from the Ottoman Empire and Bohemia. Amazing!!!


 * In the meantime, I am delving into the Plantin and Moretus articles. –CaroleHenson (talk) 01:51, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your appreciation. Truth be told though, I am simply doing what I have done here for years - my task on Wikipedia has always been to write about women's history, preferably under or before the 19th-century, so to me this is my ordinary Wikipedia work. But it has been fun to focus on printers and publishers, so your article was a good idea. Good work on the Plantin-printer as well; I wrote the articles about the women printers of the Plantin press originally, with the intention to expand them some day, but I never got around to it, so I'm glad someone else does. --Aciram (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and I am so glad that you are here and found a lovely, and what seems to be a satisfying niche for yourself.–CaroleHenson (talk) 02:13, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Categories on Thyra Grafström
Why did you remove two relevant categories? And you seem to have missed one of the set of matching cats you added, omitting Category:20th-century textile artists. Thanks. Pam D  07:48, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I seem to have forgot to put in the 19th-century Swedish women artists and the 20th-century Swedish women artists, which of course makes 19th-century Swedish women and the 20th-century Swedish women uneccessary since they are sub categories of them (those categories are placed in the 19th-century Swedish women and the 20th-century Swedish women-cats). I also forgot the 20th-century textile artists so thank you for putting it in. To discuss it is not neccessary, but of course, when you already have categories that are sub categories in an article, then the main category of those sub categories are not longer neccessary. For example, now its no longer neccessary with the article "Swedish textile artist"-main category, since the article already have two sub-categories (19th-century Swedish women artists and the 20th-century Swedish women artists) that are themselwes placed in the Swedish textile artist (the categories must be kept clean from being flooded). Thank you--Aciram (talk) 12:32, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
