Hi again dear I dream of horses! Thank yo for taking the time to look at my draft page Zipporah Ritchie Woodward.

I retrieved a lot of the sources for this page from news stories. I found them via Proquest, as the stories were mostly too old to be online through the original newspapers themselves.

Somehow the Proquest links vanished when I entered them manually under "news". Is Proquest considered a website or news?

Thank you again.

A suggestion

Hi, Bizzyfan! Hope you're doing well. You may want to consider asking the Women in Red (WiR) WikiProject on their discussion page about Draft:Zipporah Ritchie Woodward. I think what Wikipedia calls "significant coverage" may be a problem, but I am not confident in my assessment. So I think soliciting some other viewpoints from the WiR regulars, who work on a lot of these kinds of drafts, may help. Cheers, Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 17:35, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
