A barnstar for you!

The Sweden Barnstar of National Merit | |
| For you extraordinary work on creating and writing articles related to the Swedish feminism movement. Kudos! w.carter-Talk 11:05, 28 March 2016 (UTC) |
While I was doing some cleanup and fixes on Swedish feminists' articles and subjects related to that, I saw that you had created almost all of them. I'm in awe! Great job! 
If you have your work linked to your watchlist etc. your alert system must be going berserk by now, sorry about that... w.carter-Talk 11:05, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you! Yes, I have all the articles I create on my whatchlist, and I noticed your name among their editors today, but my watchlist are always full, so no worries, I am glad that they are corrected and adjusted! I am a Swedish female interested in history, and virtually all my contributions here are about women in history, especially before 1900, and here on English language Wikipedia, I have noticed that I have created or expanded at least two thirds of all articles about women and women's issues in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Finland before 1900, something you can see if you look at the women's articles in the categories of "Swedish 18th-century people", "Danish 17th-century people", "Finnish 16th-century people", "19th-century Norwegian actresses" and so on. That may be bragging, but I think the reason is mostly that no one else has been interested in writing about pre-1900 Women from these countries, or lacked the information to do so, and I am somewhat proud of it, I must admit! I am happy to be appreciated, and will paste the barnstar on my page with pride!--Aciram (talk) 15:01, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- You are very welcome! You have every reason to be proud of your work, I see your name from time to time in the page history of nice articles. I'm also a Swedish female, but by now I'm so used to being called Mr, Sir or "dude", I don't bother correcting people any longer. ;) My edits are all over the place I'm afraid, but I always gravitate more towards historical articles particularly those about artists and authors. My newest project, when I don't get distracted by other fun things, is prepping Moa Martinson for GA and if I make that I will try to make it FA. There is only one FA article about a Swedish woman and Moa is such a fantastic character with lots of sources written about her, so I think it would be great. Talk about Släppa in en katt bland hermelinerna, fingers crossed! Cheers, w.carter-Talk 19:01, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, people do always assume that you are a man when they do not known your gender, and it is somewhat sad that this actually increase the respect - but it makes it easier, so one should see the advantages. Such a good goal of yours! I wish you good luck with the article of Moa Martinson, and I keep my fingers crossed as well, because I do agree that she deserves it. My very best!--Aciram (talk) 17:12, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
