Thanks for creating Margaret M. Perry, ClareB!

Thanks for creating a much-needed article about an important woman scientist! In the future, try to avoid directly quoting sources so much, as it can cause copyright problems for wikipedia.

To reply, leave a comment on Rosguill's talk page.

Hello Clare

Hi, my name is Asareel. I am a member of the project Women in Red. Thank you for creating the article on Zita Stead. As a project that targets women and women related topics for development into articles we rely on editors like yourself to close the gender gap here on Wikipedia. It's not easy but we are determined to make a difference. I am thrilled this article was promoted to main space and I am fascinated by Zita's work as a medical illustrator. Congratulations and please continue to create and edit. If you ever need assistance or want to ask questions please do not hesitate to ask. We have amazing and knowledgeable editors, in WIR, who are ready to help if we can. --ARoseWolf 12:05, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

@ARoseWolf:

Hi Asareel and thanks very much for your kind message and words of encouragement - I'm pleased that Zita finally has a page! I have a list of women I would like to write articles about, so now I just need to find the time... Thanks again and I'll be sure to reach out for advice if need be. All the best, Clare ClareB (talk) 08:34, 9 July 2021 (UTC)
