Mary Church Terrell
Hi Lemnaide68, on your edit to Mary Church Terrell, you removed the word 'née' from "Their half-siblings, Robert, Jr. and Annette, were born to their father's second wife, Anna Church, née Anna Wright, during his second marriage.", leaving a sentence that didn't make sense. I replaced 'née', but I don't actually know if this is correct. Was Anna Church born Anna Wright or is this her name from a previous marriage? Leschnei (talk) 13:19, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Hello!


 * Thanks for the feedback! While editing Mary's early history section, I noticed the words 'née' left solely by itself but after researching Mary's family records, I didn't see any names associated with it. I assumed perhaps it was a typo and removed it. Anna was born Anna Wright and received the last name Church from marrying Mary Terrell's father, Robert Reed Church.


 * Currently the sentence is: "Their half-siblings, Robert, Jr. and Annette, were born to their father's second wife, Anna Church, née Anna Wright, during his second marriage." For clarity I will make this new edit: "Their half-siblings, Robert Jr. and Annette, were born to Robert Church's second wife Anna Wright."


 * Hope this clarifies the edit!Lemnaide68 (talk) 15:13, 24 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Looks good, thanks. Leschnei (talk) 12:26, 25 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Also, FYI, if you want another editor to see your reply, you have to include some sort of ping. I happened across your reply because I was browsing through my watchlist; otherwise I would have missed it. It took me awhile to work out all of these details when I first started editing and friendly notes from other editors helped a lot, so I'm passing it along!
