Ethel Hedgeman Lyle[edit]

I've reverted your change to Ethel Hedgeman Lyle. 1) I'm not sure why the removal of the referenced information regarding friendship with the Alpha Phi Alpha brother. 2) The change in season would be best replaced with a month, or list of months. Wikipedia avoids seasons (if only because the Australians are going to read it differently. :) )Naraht (talk) 12:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the information about the friendship with her Alpha brother, because it is false and he was her husband. FDwebb (talk) 21:18, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What information was copied? FDwebb (talk) 15:58, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I just wanted to make sure that it is noted that I have attempted to change the name from Hedgeman to Hedgemon, on more than one occasion because her name was Hedgemon. I have copies of her signature and studied her for over 27 years. Her headstone has been changed by her family to reflect this as well.

Your recent editing history at Ethel Hedgeman Lyle shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Vivian Osborne Marsh[edit]

Hi there! You recently made this edit to the Vivian Osborne Marsh article, where you added a date of "December 26–20". This date is generating an error in reference #3. Could you please fix this typo? Thanks! GoingBatty (talk) 18:44, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you. FDwebb (talk) 21:31, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Women's Suffrage March[edit]

Curiousity, due to some edits that you have made. What sources do you consider neutral on the participation of GLO women (Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta) in the Women's Suffrage March?Naraht (talk) 08:31, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Newspapers, magazines and first hand accounts from people who witnessed the march in March of 1913. FDwebb (talk) 22:56, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the school, Howard University where both Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority were created and the only place Delta Sigma Theta Sorority existed as they voted to create the organization in January of that year.
A video recording of Alice Paul who coordinated the march also says it was Howard and there is no mention of any sorority at all in the march until after 1980. College women marched not sororities. FDwebb (talk) 23:01, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not video, audio recording. FDwebb (talk) 23:03, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dent, Jessie McGuire[edit]

I put a notice on the education paragraph that you added to the Jessie McGuire Dent article because it was plagiarized from copyrighted source. It is a word-for-word copy of the referenced Handbook of Texas article, which has a copyright. The paragraph needs to rewritten. As the Handbook editor who worked on that article, I largely wrote that paragraph with the author; hence, I cannot rewrite the paragraph in the wikipedia article.
