@ Ipigott and Gerda Arendt: can either of you help me with a German source? Google translate is poor and while Bing is better, I am still confused. On page 7 of this source [1] it says something about her going to Zlín around 1918 at the request of Tomáš Baťa, founder of the Bata Shoes, who was the mayor of Zlín at that time.
As ever, I am eternally grateful for your language skills. Thank you for any help you can give. SusunW ( talk) 20:41, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
Nothing in old books/newspapers as yet. but there's other information.
You can view the grave registration and headstone information here. Also a PDF of the commemorative certificate.
I think you'll need to ask those who were approved in 2016 as I'd believe neither of them renewed their subscription. I had one subscription I got little use out of when the subscriptions first started, so I didn't renew it when it was done. We hope ( talk) 15:41, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Thank you for your recent articles, including Klub Inteligencji Katolickiej, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

I found a search engine for the old nursing journals. You get one page at a time; there are times when the story is spread over 2 pages, so don't lose the index page because you can quickly find the other page you need through the index. She was also Matron at the Royal Herbert Hospital. Going to start leaving links here.
I think the hospital you were looking for at Aldershot was part of Aldershot Garrison and it may not have been standing anymore in 1921. Have a look at Aldershot Military Museum. If you don't get someone to view the full record, keep your eyes open for announcements on the internet from Ancestry.com and other similar sites. For some time, the Ancestry sites worldwide have given the public full view access to military records around 11 November for Veterans' Day. We hope ( talk) 16:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Susun and We hope. I was sure you'd be right but sadly it seems the first matron of LMHosp was a Miss Hodgson. (Morning Post, 26 July 1898) - Maybe this explains the plaque? "When the QAMH was decommissioned it was moved to QEMH Woolwich and then to the Aldershot Garrison Church when the QEMH closed. A rededication service was held at the Aldershot Garrison Church in 1989 for the plaques." [4] [5]
The bio is great. You must have spent hours digging for info. Hope you enjoy doing the research. (I do.) Lelijg ( talk) 16:32, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nursing in Japan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sino Japanese War. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Susun - I came over here partly to thank you for the BJN search engine tip (thanks to We hope too) and partly to ask whether you were thinking of doing the LM Hosp article yourself. If not I may have a go, since I have access to news archives that could be useful, though a quick look suggests the news was all about visiting royalty. Now I'm here I see you've had some interesting convos about BI Jones. The lack of obits in The Times etc., even the BJN (?), might confirm there was something to be "hushed up".

Hey Susun. Hope all is well. I got side-tracked into working on various election 2016 articles. Since it was the first I decided to create an article about the recent Commander-in-Chief Forum.

Margarita Ortega (magonist) is my 91st #100wikidays article and she is my first ever magonist! Plus she was a courier, nurse, spy, sharp shooter, and gun expert. How you could do all that in one lifetime beats me. If she isn't deserving of an article, then I don't know who is. Don't know if you or Megalibrarygirl have the time or inclination to work on it, but I thought she might interest you.

What really irritates me is how often "lead" is used as a past tense or past participle of "lead" in our articles. Just look at how mant of these are incorrect. I try to sort them out from time to time but it's a losing battle.-- Ipigott ( talk) 18:32, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

The article Inès de Bourgoing you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Inès de Bourgoing for comments about the article. Well done!

Hi Susun. I'm glad to see you've started to do a bit of work on the article and have sorted out much of the referencing and sources. I see also you have also changed her name from Blixen to Dinesen in the early part of the article. I always find the use of women's names in biographies quite a difficult matter to handle effectively for the reader but I just thought I should point out that in the case of Karen Blixen the whole business of names is a problem in its own right. There's an article titled Isak Dinesen in America which goes into her various names in quite some detail. You might find it an interesting read. In any case, I am trying to go through the article section by section, adding pertinent information as necessary. I think this will take some time. I intend to expand quite a bit on her literary works, especially as apart from the article on Out of Africa, the coverage is pretty poor. (Maybe articles on her works should also receive attention.) I reckon it will all take a few more weeks. If you come across other interesting sources, please feel free to expand as you wish. Two contributors should be able to do more than just one and you are usually expert at drawing off the most important content from the sources available. Hope we can go forward together on this basis. It's always refreshing to collaborate with you. By the way, as we are going to be away until around 10 November, I will probably not be contributing very actively over the next week or so.-- Ipigott ( talk) 16:36, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

On 9 November 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Inès de Bourgoing, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that nurse Inès de Bourgoing (pictured) was named Honorary Corporal of the Foreign Legion after she established a convalescent hospital in Morocco and a retirement center in France for French soldiers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Inès de Bourgoing. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Inès de Bourgoing), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
