Hi, I noticed that you were adding a lot of women into the Warrior Women category. The category itself is fine, but I have to take issue with adding people like Angelique Brulon and Nadezhda Durova, in light of the fact that the word warrior generally refers to pre-modern fighters, and Brulon and Durovna were modern soldiers, not warriors.

An article which you started, or significantly expanded, Virginia Foster Durr, was selected for DYK!

advice about bios

Hello. Good work on and thanks for the contributions. However, you often seem not to provide any references or sources in the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. This is especially true for historical figures who ' likely to show up in google. Can you list in the article any websites, books, or other sources that will allow people to verify the content in it? You can simply add links, preferably as inline citations, or see citation templates for different citation methods. Or just list some references at the bottom -- Even from a printed encyclopedia or standard history. If its worth writing, its worth writing so it stays in. I will defend any articles of this sort that show up on AfD, but I cannot do it effectively if the article isn't written the way people like it around here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 09:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
