Thanks for improving Gothic articles!

Hello! I watch a lot of articles related to Gothic fiction so I just wanted to send some appreciation for your slow-and-steady improvements articles like The Monk, Ann Radcliffe, and Gothic fiction. It's nice to see these topics getting some love! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:11, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

Oh, wow thank you for the kind words. I LOVE gothic literature, and all the figures associated with it. I just wish I could do more for these pages, I really do. I give these topics love because they give me so much enjoyment. I hope my edits on these pages get people motivated and passionate, and realize how damn cool Ann Radcliffe, The Monk, and all of this literature was, and still is.

You have been working on Mamie Van Doren with me and there is really only one source, which is her own autobiography, meaning the source is far from neutral. Do you have any other source or can you try to work on it? Wcamp9 (talk) 20:03, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

I will try and work on Mamie's page, I haven't had much time lately to dedicate to it though. I like that new life has been brought to it, the page was neglected for a long time. Michael0986 (talk) 23:15, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I hope by 2025 the article is good or featured but if you have another source such as Atomic Blonde or some Mamie Van Doren memorabilia since you have been working on it for so long please share it. Also, the latter half of the article has not been worked on because I'm working on it start to finish finding the details along with traversing through her autobiography (https://archive.org/details/playingfield00rhva) Wcamp9 (talk) 23:22, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
