Hey Rosie!! You know this Wikipedia is so difficult to follow....seems odd leaving messages like this, but I guess it works.

If it is easier to email,,,my email is blashlee@hotmail.com.

I have a couple of pictures I would like to upload, but I simply cant find a way to do that either. Would you want me to email them to you? I leave for a deployment to Afghanistan in 3 weeks so if you decide to do this, I guess I would have to get them to you quickly!

Anyhow, yes, I am connected to the subject matter...she is my grandmother so maybe it would be better for a 3rd party to publish the bio. As to proof.references...I guess all I have is the history books of Tennessee. I have a picture of her which is a news article back from 1944 referencing her as Tennessee's first women elected to the senate, but here are other referencs. You have to emphasize ELECTED....there was a woman senator before her who simply filled a vacant term, but my grandmother was the first woman to win an election.

Here are some reference: http://frank.mtsu.edu/~library/wtn/wtn-pol.html http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/history/misc/tga-senate2.pdf

Nashville Banner news article & obiturary dated: 2-23-1966

Would you prefer I email the pictures and article to you? I dont know what else to provide other than what I have typed up. I would gladly pay you for this.....I am a pretty savvy person and follow directions really well, but this is confusing simply in that there are so many links and it appears Wiki is geared to a "computer programmers" mindset. I hail from a political family so I am also writing another story about a group called the Rural West Tennessee Democratic Caucus who ruled this state from 1972-2009...would you want to see that!? Really interesting.

Thanks for your assistance...let me know where we go from here!

Mildred Jolly Lashlee
Hello Blashlee. Thank you for reaching out to me. To put the Mildred Jolly Lashlee article into mainspace, click on the redlink that I've created as a header to this message and paste the work you've created into the article. Note, per wikipedia naming convention of biographies, the article name will be "Mildred Jolly Lashlee", not "Mildred Jolly Lashlee - Tennessee's First Woman Elected to the Senate". That said, I could not find an online reference that Mildred was Tennessee's first woman elected to the Senate. Please include that resource as a reference; I can assist you with creating a reference if you state what resource you are using. I can assist also with article formating, i.e. wikilinks, etc. after you put the article into "mainspace". Lastly, let me mention that as your Username (Blashlee) is similar to the article name, one might suspect that you have personal ties to the subject matter and may give greater scrutiny to any content that does not have an inline citation. I'll watch for you to create this article and if it appears that you haven't done so within the next few days, I can do it for you. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers, --Rosiestep (talk) 02:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi again Brett. Please review the comments left by the article's reviewer and make the necessary modifications so that we can get this article into mainspace. The issue revolves around verifiable references. Note the references don't have to be "online". If the reference is a newspaper article from long ago, and there is no url, then indicate newpaper name, publisher, date, author, article title. Putting into quotes anything notable may be helpful. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

James,

I have two articles, one laminated and the other in a picture frame. This subject matter (Mildred Jolly Lashlee) is my grandmother and I can guarantee 100% she was the first woman elected to the Senate in Tennessee. The history books of Tennessee back this up, but the two articles I have is one of her obituary, dated by the Nashville Banner newspaper on 2-23-1966. The other news article I have is from the Nashville Banner/Tennessean and this one is in the picture frame but in the article is says "Tennessee's First Woman Elected to the Senate". She is show in the picture at the State Capitol on the day she took her oath. She had already been a senator for 7 months, but this occassion she was coming in as an "elected" senator. It would have been January 1945.

I could take a photo of the picture and zoom in on the headlines and email the photo to you and that of the obituary if that would help? my personal email address is blashlee@hotmail.com

Not sure if I am editing and submitting this stuff correctly. This is the most difficult instructions to follow...seems everything is written in programmers language?
