Keep the list relevant and save it from being deleted: only active warfare are included

[edit]

A recent discussion on the talk page of one of these lists also concerns all of them: Women in warfare or simply women who conducted war? The conclusion of the discussion is the following:

Up until now, this list has been vague on the definitions about which women should be included. It has listed women who conducted war, and women who actually fought on the battle fields: that is to say both women who participated actively and passively in war.

A list of this kind is only relevant if it lists exceptions to a general rule. Women who participated in active warfare is such exceptions, and a list of them is relevant. Female monarchs who conducted war, however, was common: their is nothing expectational about them. If you which to include them, you will have to add just about every female monarchs who ever existed, such as for example Queen Victoria of Great Britain. To have a list about female monarchs who conducted war is just as pointless as having a list about male monarchs who conducted war. It makes the list non-relevant and liable to be deleted. I do not think these lists should be deleted, as they are important for gender and social studies: they have this importance because they lists exceptions. Therefore:

  • Only women who participated in active warfare, such as warriors, spies, or female monarchs who actively participated in warfare such as actually leading warfare or defended a castle or town are acceptable to include.
  • The description of the text in the beginning of the article will be changed to specify women who participated in active warfare, as this is the exception which makes a list relevant.

These list will have to be altered in this way to keep relevance and avoid being deleted. This is not big changes, but they are necessary. I will make the changes in view of time. --Aciram (talk) 12:39, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Women in 18th-century warfare

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Women in 18th-century warfare's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Anamma 2002":

  • From Legal rights of women in history: Borgström Eva (in Swedish): Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.
  • From Women in warfare (1500-1699): Borgström Eva(in Swedish) : Makalösa kvinnor: könsöverskridare i myt och verklighet (Marvelous women : genderbenders in myth and reality) Alfabeta/Anamma, Stockholm 2002. ISBN 91-501-0191-9 (inb.). Libris 8707902.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 14:33, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
