Hi, thanks for your edits to the article. I don't have any problem with most of your edits, but I've changed the spellings back to UK spelling from US spelling as the article is about British history, per WP:ENGVAR. Paul B (talk) 15:38, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cynthia Bailey Lee

Hi, I noticed your edits to Cynthia Bailey Lee, specifically, that you removed mention of her religion. Why did you remove it? Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:43, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

-- Hi, Rachel, this update reflects a more recent change and was discussed with the subject. Egthegreat (talk) 17:56, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go ahead and remove the Mormon feminists category then. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 18:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cynthia Bailey Lee redux

Beg pardon, but regarding this edit: I'm not quite sure I see how the edit in question relates to the edit summary? Sorry to be obtuse, but I want to make sure of what I'm missing. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 21:32, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

the point of the article was that she called it "ladysplaining" to the original memo author's "mansplaining" about women in tech. It doesn't seem out of place to reference it. Egthegreat (talk) 21:47, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I don't see how that relates to the category Category:21st-century American women, which you removed. That's what's confusing me. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 21:49, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is because I am a dork... please revert. Egthegreat (talk) 22:19, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Quite alright - who among us has not been once in a while? :-) I believe it's been reverted.

Please forgive my belaboring the point, but I honestly didn't want to put a step wrong and wasn't sure if I had missed something of which I should have been aware. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 22:38, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
