Editing Medieval Spain (English article). Eep! Not much info! dmoneypenny
Editing Deaconess and removing the text that said there probably weren't deaconesses in the West. I've included a citation for this and added another for the role of deaconesses in Early Christian baptism. theartdoc
Editing Elizabeth of Töss to add that she did write the Revelations of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, with lots of citations and new bibliography of Barratt and McNamer's work on the subject. laurasaetveitmiles
Editing Heloise. Deleted some uncited assertions about Abelard's hormones. Added a bit about Heloise's point of view in the letters (previously only Abelard's). Attempting to post article on The Material Collective, an organization devoted to the study of object agency in the Middle Ages.
Editing Radegund. Corrected date of death, removed references to canonization, added references (needs more), corrected some smaller details. The article heavily emphasizes her English cult but ignores the French area significantly. It also needs more on Baudonivia, who appears as an afterthought. kirsa14
Started editing very problematic Holy Roman Empire entry. JHK ( talk) 10:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
