Hi Dmitri
Your subbed article is here: A87880855 please remember to subscribe! it just requires a read through by your good self and I will return it for final polish
What a fascinating woman!
I have already categorised her in Historical Figures, but am unable to find a category for Nobel prize-winners, of which there should be one, don't you think?

Hi, GB.
I read it through carefully because of all the surreal Ruritanian geography and language salad. I snuck in and changed the spelling of Enderträume because I could, it was my typo, and you shouldn't have to hunt umlauts.
Looks fine to me - I enjoyed researching and writing this one. Bertha was a dear.
And yes - we should have a Nobel prize category, definitely!

Umlauts!
Thanks for fixing that!
Glad you agree, how's about
3. Everything / History & Politics / Historical Figures / Nobel Laureate (?)
I have found quite a few in the EG already, but I have two people to care for today so it may be this evening before I get back home

Sounds great to me!
Much luck with all the caregiving, and may good things come your way. We'll be off to celebrate Thanksgiving with relatives.

I'm looking for photos that we could use for the entry and discovered her name is spelt Suttner, so I've amended the recommended entry.
What about this photo of her? I would think it's out of copyright

Gack. You mean I've been giving her an unnecessary umlaut! Horrors! How in the world did I do that? I checked, I saw it spelled with an umlaut a few times, and it got stuck in my head. I probably need new reading glasses, but that's a terrible thing for me to have done.
In that case, we've got to re-edit the ENTIRE entry to get rid of them all. Do you want to do the honours, or shall I?

And no - please don't use a photo of Bertha when she was older - I'm sure we can find another. Use the youngest one you can, she was quite pretty. And wouldn't you prefer than somebody got your best photo?

I'm still chagrined about those umlauts...we must remove them immediately...

Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor Posted Nov 28, 2016
Ah, I missed the mis-spelled versions of her name in the entry because I didn't search for umlauts their removal will be my next job
I did see the photo of when she was younger, and I agree, use the most flattering one
Just going to change clothes and will report back when the job's done
