US first ladies
I saw Epicgenius's ping on the Signpost about your work on Ida Saxton McKinley. A while back I put together this page to organize the US first ladies articles. You might be interested in the list of sources that I've compiled at the bottom. Thebiguglyalien ( talk ) 18:13, 13 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I've been out of town and I really appreciate all the work you've been doing. I had a userpage that did something similar, albeit it was a bit inaccurate as I cobbled it together at 10PM after seeing the wikiproject us presidents page. ❤History Theorist❤  23:34, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Reviewing pending changes, when to accept an edit

Hello there. Please do not accept unsourced entries to days of the year pages, as you did here on June 3. See WP:DOYCITE for further information. Thank you. CycloneYoris talk! 01:50, 29 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I've stopped accepting them as I can't keep up with adding the citations myself (as I was a bit busy) and the user is starting to accrue warnings. However, I looked at the revision you mentioned, and while I wrongfully accepted other entries, I found a citation from es wiki and added a citation to support the edition. ❤History  Theorist❤  02:51, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries. I did notice you added a citation, and that's why I immediately restored the entry that was cited. Thanks again! CycloneYoris talk! 10:31, 29 January 2024 (UTC)
