Welcome
Thanks for your edits to Grace Macurdy. It's always nice to see people working on underrepresented areas on wikipedia, and women in classics/ancient history is one which can always do with more work. I mostly work on ancient women, rather thank women scholars, but I've been around wikipedia for a few years now, so if you ever need any help with the wikipedia editing side of things do feel free to ask me.

Disambiguation link notification for June 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Phillis Wheatley, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Neoclassical ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Phillis_Wheatley check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Phillis_Wheatley?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Association for the Higher Education of Women
I see you just converted Association for the Higher Education of Women at University of Oxford to Association for the Higher Education of Women when you probably meant Association for the Higher Education of Women. But if you fix the formatting you will then have to think about modifying Association for the Higher Education of Women which is currently a redirect to Queen Margaret College (Glasgow). Regards, Jonathan A Jones (talk) 11:21, 19 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi @User:Jonathan A Jones - Yes, sorry, the formatting has gone a little wonky there. That redirect indeed does not look right - I'm aiming to set up some links for the AEW at Oxford, which doesn't currently have its own page but should do since it has a fairly extensive and significant history (it's going on my to-do list, but I hope that putting in a couple of redlinks for now may spur someone else to get to it before I can)! KateCook (talk) 11:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * PS I see now that it should be AEW not 'Higher' so that should at least sort the issue out for now - whoever(s) put the original references to the AEW in some of the pages I'm looking at today seems to have got the title of the Association slightly wrong, which is where some issues are arising. I will fix that now KateCook (talk) 11:42, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks, thought it was something like that but easier just to encourage you to fix it than mess it up myself! Jonathan A Jones (talk)
 * Hi, I have looked at the references for University of Oxford and found multiple variants such as "Association for Promoting the Education of Women in Oxford"and "Association for the Higher Education of Women in Oxford" as well as "Association for the Education of Women in Oxford", so earlier editors were using names found in reliable sources. It will be good if you can create an article: I think part of the reason that no-one (including myself) has written the article previously is that many sources mention AEW briefly so finding in depth sources is difficult. TSventon (talk) 13:55, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know what you mean - Vera Brittain's History of Women at Oxford has got a very detailed account of the AEW, as do a couple of similar works written closer to the time, so I think those are going to be better places to look for the in-depth information rather than incidental mentions. I'm currently working on various other edits with the Brittain in hand, so I can certainly try and see if I can put something together in the next week or so. I am a bit busy at the moment, and I don't think it will be that small a job, which has been what put me off doing it immediately - but I agree that it needs doing, and so I suppose I'd better try to find some time! At least if there's a decent account there as a start, others can start adding extra detail.
 * I've just been looking online and I think I could only put together a short stub based on online sources: the Victoria County History of St Anne's College has some detail as does The University of Oxford: A History (L. W. B. Brockliss). The History of the University of Oxford: Volume VIII: The Twentieth Century focuses on the women's colleges. Her Oxford (Judy Batson) looks useful but isn't previewed on Google books. I am probably stating the obvious but Wikipedia articles should be based on a range of sources, including recent ones. By the way "reply to" only works if you sign your post. TSventon (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
 * I've now written a short article on the AEW, which leaves plenty of scope for expansion. TSventon (talk) 12:28, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I have had another go at the Association for the Education of Women article using more online sources, so it is now a bit longer. Do have a look if you have time. I see you have nominated Emily Penrose for GA, I will see if I can tweak anything. TSventon (talk) 00:51, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much @TSventon - this is definitely on my list as something I need to get to, but everything has been so busy! I've finally got a copy of Her Oxford so that will help to add some things I imagine. I will hopefully be able to take a proper look in the next week or so.
