Editathon article banner[edit]
Here's a useful thing for new articles which have been created - can be amended as needed. Place on the talk page of new articles.
 | Editathon article This page was created as part of the Dig It! / Society of Antiquaries of Scotland Women in Scottish Archaeology Editathon in May 2019, held at the Central Library in Edinburgh, to encourage new editors and create missing articles about notable women in Scottish Archaeology. If there are issues with this article, please offer constructive criticism and assistance in improving it, rather than marking it for deletion. Thanks! |
