 * Hi Writescience, Thanks for your corrections! StellaMcQ (talk) 02:56, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * It does take a while to get your head around it all! I haven't done any editing for ages so I am having to relearn too. I think I need to stop with Amy now (my brain is done with thinking). I removed the bit that you copied/pasted because you aren't really supposed to do that directly, just try to mash it into your own words. I Did a bit of that. Anyway, feel free to look over it now - I would greatly appreciate a more awake eye checking over the writing and punctuation, at very least :) Frustrating that there is so little available about her. She sounds really interesting. StellaMcQ (talk) 03:30, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
 * thanks - my brain is a bit mushy now too! I'm not sure what I'm editing but this workshop is helping. good that you removed the plagiarized bit! I should have re-worded. Luckily most of our edits were aligned! I will read over again in the week. Feel free to message me on Twitter (@templetonf)if I have stuffed up - might be easier. Yes, she is interesting person. will be interesting to see if we can find more. you have done a great job on it today! cheers Fleur

Made minor edits to the article "Amy Castle (entomologist)" and added citation
Hi Fleur, Just to let you know I've made some edits to your expansion of this article. You and Stella have done a great job expanding it! --Ambrosia10 (talk) 08:16, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Nice to see you
Nice to see you again at the #EditforEquity editathon. Hopefully I'll see you again on Thursday or maybe the weekend and we can have a bit more a chat!--Ambrosia10 (talk) 08:48, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
