From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.

[edit] 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! DGG 22:57, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
