Editing Tips

For women with different birth and married names - something I came across editing Elizabeth Garrett's entry you can use the birth_name in the panel of information about them. For an example of how this fits into the Wikipedia person entry formatting I'd recommend Jessica Hynes' Wikipedia page. NicolaOsborne (talk) 13:15, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

Thanks Nicola, that's a really good point and useful for a lot of the women we'll be writing about! ACrockford (talk) 14:41, 23 January 2015 (GMT)

Places table (in development)

I'm just working on putting together a Wiki-fied table of the relevant places for the Tuesday workshop - if you know of other relevant, authoritative links that can back up research into these sites please do add them (feel free to add them in a comment if you're not comfortable working with the table, I'll format them later!)
