Thank you for your efforts in patrolling new pages. I wanted to let you know that I have applied a speedy deletion tag to the article Josephine Baker and the waves of feminism, which you proposed for deletion, because I believe it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. In cases where it applies, speedy deletion is preferable to proposed deletion; in the future, please tag blatantly inappropriate pages for speedy deletion first if they meet the criteria. I have left the {{prod}} tag in place, so that if speedy deletion is rejected, your proposed deletion will remain in place. Thanks!

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of vegans, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page City Press.

Hi-I probably used this citation from the Minnesota Historical Society General Book LLC; many thanks for finding the original citation-thank you-RFD (talk) 12:52, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

@RFD: No problem! I actually expanded the article a bit last night. And I still have a few leads to follow up on. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 14:14, 21 December 2020 (UTC)
@RFD: Also, sorry about that Minnesota --> Missouri thing. I try to convince myself otherwise, but editing past midnight for me is just begging to make a ridiculous typo. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 14:49, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
@TheTechnician27:-Many thanks for your comments and with your work with Wikipedia-RFD (talk) 16:00, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
@TheTechnician27:-Hi-the history of Wisconsin Territory is complicated; on May 29, 1848, most of the Wisconsin Territory was admitted to the Union as the 30th state. However there was a section of Wisconsin Territory that was not included in the new state. Stillwater, Minnesota was located in that section. John Catlin (politician) who served as acting Governor of Wisconsin went to Stillwater and called a special election for the Congressional delegate for Wisconsin Territory. Henry Hastings Sibley was elected and seated. Consequently the remainder of Wisconsin Territory became part of Minnesota Territory in 1849. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 22:16, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
@RFD: Alright, I'll keep that in mind for future edits. Also, I recently dug up (aka used Google Books to find) another source, which in this case happened to detail more of Nelson's life from 1839–1844, a *second* biological daughter (a twin) who died in infancy, and what party Nelson was a member of as a state senator.

@RFD: Also, sorry about all the 19XX years where it should be 18XX. My self-proofreading is pretty bad, because my brain just skips over mistakes and corrects them to what they're supposed to be. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 23:02, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
