Varina Davis
Greetings and welcome! I see you have made some edits to the Varina Anne Davis article. In order to cite information added to it, you would need to specify a work and the relevant pages. Has your work been published yet? By the way, I have been working on the Jefferson Davis article recently and hope it will soon be a featured article. If I can be of any assistance to you with Wikipedia, free free to ask! Omnedon (talk) 19:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello from Heath Lee Author of Winnie Davis: Daughter of the Lost Cause
Hello! I am the author of the first biography of Varina Anne "Winnie" Davis entitled Winnie Davis: Daughter of the Lost Cause. Coming April, 2014 from the University of Nebraska Press. I am a historian and have worked on Winnie for about 20 years now-I am from Richmond, VA her hometown and have spent much time with the descendants of the Davis family intervieiwing them and working from family papers. Bertram Hayes-Davis co-authored the epilogue of the book and JEB Stuart IV wrote my Book Introduction.

The book is in copy editing mode right now-I do not have final page numbers yet. The previous article here was not bad but it had numerous errors, so I could not leave it there any more!

I am happy to work with anyone working on the Davis family history on Wikapedia. I have tons of photos I own of Winnie and will post some new ones as soon as I figure out HOW to do that! I will take all the advice I can get as I learn the Wikapedia way!

Many thanks and please feel free to contact me:

 * Great! In terms of the photos, typically those would go on Wikimedia Commons, and images there must be free of copyright issues. As far as the article is concerned, more detail and corrections are always welcome. Just keep in mind that Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth, which is why statements need citations. Since your work will be out in coming months, perhaps any major expansion of the article could wait until inline citations could be provided? Again, welcome to Wikipedia!
