Moving this list to give it a new title[edit]

I'm giving notice to any users of this list that I will soon move the page to a new title which will be Christian Women of the Early Church. The reason is that using the term "patristic age" for a list of women is inappropriate. Patristic Age refers to men also known as Church Fathers who wrote theological texts or led churches. The term Patristic Age is exclusionary of women while the early church is a term encompassing any sex. Also the Patristic Age is sometimes defined as a longer period (through to the 7th century) than the early church and the list should concentrate on the early church period from 200-500.

Self-published source for Ammia[edit]

I have used this reference for Ammia: Kidson, Lyn (2018-05-28). "Ammia in Philadelphia". engendered ideas. Retrieved 2023-11-13. It has been tagged as a self-published source however, I believe this source is properly used according to WP:SPS because Lyn Kidson is an acknowledged expert in this field and has been published elsewhere in theological journals.

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of Christian women of the patristic age's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "SHMI":

  • From Saint Cecilia: Fr. Paolo O. Pirlo, SHMI (1997). "St. Cecilia". My First Book of Saints. Sons of Holy Mary Immaculate - Quality Catholic Publications. pp. 280–282. ISBN 978-971-91595-4-4.
  • From List of Christian martyrs: Fr. Paolo O. Pirlo, SHMI (1997). "St. Sebastian". My First Book of Saints. Sons of Holy Mary Immaculate - Quality Catholic Publications. pp. 22–23. ISBN 971-91595-4-5.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 23:20, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings non-sentient bot. None of those references were used but thanks for finding them. I will look at them and see if their information will support content in the article. I have removed the blank reference. As for orphans, this article is linked to in a number of other articles. Best Regards, Barbara 21:36, 3 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
