Women in Red

Hi there, Cactusisme, and welcome to Women in Red. I see you are working on Draft:Anne Demerson. In this connection, you might find it useful to look through our Ten Simple Rules. Please let me know if you run into any difficulties or need assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:44, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

@Ipigott Thanks Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 09:08, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

• Let me know when you would like me to take a new look at Anne Demerson. If you draw on the equivalent French article, you should mention this in an edit summary in accordance with Help:Translation.--Ipigott (talk) 11:14, 4 January 2025 (UTC) I see there is a summary of her career here.--Ipigott (talk) 11:20, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Ipigott Yes I plan to do that. Cactus🌵 ^{spiky ouch} 11:40, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
