Jenhawk777 (talk) - That WMF shouldn't give your name and address to an Indian court, basically. More at Wikipedia_talk:2024_open_letter_to_the_Wikimedia_Foundation#Context?. Me and Gerda signed. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)

- Btw, I don't know if you remember, but I think one of your earliest "clashes" on WP (check your 2017 archive) was with the Great Wikipedian Doug Weller. Sadly, User_talk:Doug_Weller#Update_on_cancer. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Sure, I can get behind that.
- My interaction with Doug doesn't really qualify as a clash. He was trying to help me by directing me to the Teahouse for additional learning back when I was in a panic over Jytdog. Inexperience on WP on my part, and bias on Jytdog's, produced a perfect storm for me, but Doug was nice about it. I'm very sorry to hear he is ill. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- He's one of the very few I've contacted off-wiki when I saw the need. Admin, former arbcom member, sound mind. And we were both disliked by a Wikipedian who thought she was a descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene (true story). She did some socking and one of her accounts was named Doug Dumbass (subtle). For some reason he don't think [1] is funny, but Great Wikipedians are allowed to be eccentric. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Good night nurse!! I don't think I was ever rude to Doug! I hope not. Perhaps if I was it was a case of fork handles... . Jenhawk777 (talk)
- That petition took of a bit. I actually started this thread Wikipedia:Community_response_to_Asian_News_International_vs._Wikimedia_Foundation#The_Asian_News_International_vs._Wikimedia_Foundation_situation in October (originally at the the Village pump, but it's been moved), and I'm pretty sure it's the longest WP-thread I've ever started. It's Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard/Archive_327#Scriptural_texts_(WP:RSPSCRIPTURE) x5. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Indeed. A long and seemingly pointless argument imo. Primary sources have limited value and not just in religion. Most commentaries are akin to a modern blog, and should not be quoted as authoritative.
- I went to a State school. My religion professors were not all believers, and of those that were, they weren't all Christian. They flunked any paper, any person, who did not practice accepted mainstream scholarship. They defined mainstream scholarship by its use of modern critical method - by "methodological naturalism" - and what is verifiable historically - which in religion, isn't much when it comes down to it. I graduated #1 in my class and won a full ride to Vanderbilt grad school, and I did not do so by quoting dubious commentaries that reflected personal belief. On WP, I have never used a commentary in any religion article I have ever worked on and never will. (I am clearly infinitely superior in every way... and humble of course...)
- We just have to follow the same standards no matter the topic. Problem solved. Religion discussions are not quite as bad as politics, but they tend to be filled with passionate personal opinion that is usually blind to its very nature as personal - and that happens on both sides of the divide. Sigh. You and me bud. And Gerda of course. Everyone else is a bit nuts... Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thanks for the laugh! Yep, noone would think there's something nuts in dedicating hours to this place. But as I told my brother recently, I can do this, or something like watch a tv-series, play a video-game, read a novel, solve a crossword (and I do most of those). But WP has elements of all those things, so I like to do that too. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- It is hard to explain the appeal to non-wikipedias isn't it? Long hours of research and reading, recording minutiae into an outdated format to occasionally obtain over-the-top criticisms from people you'll never meet for work they don't even recognize. Whhoohoo! What fun! At least one of my children thinks I am simply wasting time, and that is no doubt absolutely true from time to time. Yet we all go to WP first when looking something up! But you know, personal tastes are impossible to explain or justify to others. My dad loved golf and that is completely inexplicable to me... :-) Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Yes, there are annoying people you encounter, but there is also the complete opposite, like yourself, and that makes it worth it. And the successes, though perhaps minor, can be so effing rewarding. Cooperating with unknown people you perhaps just share a narrow interest with can be so fun.
- A while back, the wife of Skeeter Reece asked me if there was any way we could get a pic she had of her husband and a somewhat known boxer onto WP, she had the only copy. I managed to find the photographer who took it in 80:s online (unusual name, now an astronomer and used to be married to Richard Pryor). Mrs Reece called her, and she agreed to do the Commons-thing, which is not that easy for a beginner. So now the world can look at File:The Champ and The Clown.jpg, I put it in every article I could think of. Call me nuts, but I like that. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Awesome. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Going back to the start of the thread, there's now over a thousand signatures. I don't know if you've been following the India-story at all. This video is a little long, but interesting. And the guy reminds me a bit of Jar Jar Binks. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- LOL!! Jenhawk777 (talk)

Hi mentor, do you know how to change a photo used on a wikipage? I would like to edit the page of a favorite celebrity to have a nicer more flattering photo, thanks for your kind help on it. --WikiAccumen (talk)
- @WikiAccumen More details are needed. Basic rule of thumb is that any random pic you find online is under copyright and can't be used. Apart from old stuff in the public domain, and some stuff by governments, WP is generally restricted to pics uploaded here by the copyright holder, almost always the photographer. We can't use a pic because "nice", we go by "per rulez". So, we have a lot of pics from comic cons etc.
- So, with that in mind, what pic did you want to use? If you are in contact with this celebrity, you can point them to Wikipedia:A picture of you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Oh okay, thanks for your response, to be more specific, just wanted to remove a more unflattering pic on the page, the other pics are great and that one is just not representative of the beauty at all, thank you for the helpful details you provided, appreciate it. WikiAccumen (talk)

Hi! I wanted some help in creating an article- I do have a conflict of interest so I may need help with getting someone else to write it (I can provide sources) or review it.
Thanks! --Writer.ch2 (talk)

Byzantine Empire
Hi @Jenhawk777
I've completed my review of your work in Religion. I wish to thank you for your contribution. You introduced some great new sources and thematically covered things appropriately. I had to make some changes, but it's all based on the work you did with some great sources I enjoyed reading. Thank you. Biz (talk)
- I'm glad I was able to help. If you have time on your hands right now, History of Christianity is at FAC and needs a review. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- I unfortunately don't, but I'll take a look and see if I can add any value. Biz (talk)
- Thanx! Jenhawk777 (talk)

History of C FAC
I saw your comment on Gog's page "I was hoping that someone would read it all the way through and comment on content, but so far the comments have all been about little things that have been easily fixed". I think this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how FAC works. A reviewer mentions a general problem with the article and gives a couple of specific examples. You fix those examples, add a little "Done" with tick on the review, and move on. But it isn't done at all. This is a common problem with some nominators at FAC, and their noms usually struggle. The reviews you had, even in a few days, raised (often contradicting each other, sure) a long list of basic issues that will not be "easily fixed" at all. Johnbod (talk)
- I'm sure you're right, and the fault is in my ignorance of the process and the requirements. What is fixable? Jenhawk777 (talk)
How do i create a wikipedia page? --ChloeBella185 (talk)
- @ChloeBella185, hello! Making an acceptable WP-article (I assume that's what you mean, like for example Wheelbarrow race) without knowing how to edit WP is hard. A common advice is to "just" edit for a while first, to try to get a hang of this place.
- That said, your first hurdle is "Can a WP-article about your chosen subject be written at all?" Start with reading WP:BACKWARD. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:YFA. If your choice of topic fails WP:N, the article will not be accepted. If you decide to go ahead, you need to learn how to add references correctly, WP:TUTORIAL can help with that. This is crucial, and I can't stress that enough. Really. If you intend to write about a living person, read WP:BLP. If you intend to write about yourself (WP:COI), the short advice is "don't."
- Hope this helps some, and Merry Christmas! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)

Merry Christmas
I've not had a chance to read through History of Christianity yet, and I see the FAC has been closed. I'll read through it in the new year, I can still give feedback from an amatuer perspective if it would be helpful. Hope you enjoy the holidays. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t°
- Hello! I am so glad to hear from you! I had to pull the nomination because all it was getting was negative feedback. My inexperience with the FAC requirements ... An editor more familiar with those is working on it now. He's amazing. I am surprised the process is making it less detailed, so less precise and more general, which for my academic mind is completely backwards - but a narrative is apparently necessary. A narrative with simple words. I am just watching from the cheap seats right now, but you know I always appreciate your input. You are pretty amazing yourself. Hope you and yours are well and having a happy holiday season. Two days till presents!! :-) Merry Christmas! Jenhawk777 (talk)

Talk:Jesus#RFC:_Changing_picture_in_infobox if you feel like having an opinion. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Not really, and hey, I apologize for the revert. I was given wrong info. I think I've fixed it now. Again. Without you that might not have been found. Thank you. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- The hyphen-thing? I just noticed that per article-text, they were rare (when I noticed it). Quite possibly, they are one of those MOS-things that can be either way (but should be consistent within an article) and some people feel strongly about. I considered "4th century" style, but that didn't seem to be in use. No biggie. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)

On the Main page today Jean Sibelius on his birthday. Listening to Beethoven's Fifth from the opening of Notre-Dame de Paris. We sang in choirs today. -- Gerda Arendt (talk)
- We had beautiful music today as well including Handel's Messiah. Amazing. Love and happy holidays to you and yours. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Sounds great! - Listen today to the (new) Perplexities after Escher. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- I was glad for the reopening of Notre Dame. I was there in the 60s and was very distressed at its damage. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- So am I, - one of its organists played a (scheduled) festival concert shortly after the fire, and invited donations. - Listen today to Beethoven's 3rd cello sonata, on his birthday - it was a hook in the 2020 DYK set when his 250th birthday was remembered. I picked a recording with Antônio Meneses, because he was on my sad list this year, and I was in Brazil (see places), and I love his playing. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- We are gleichgesinnt, (is that the right word?) aren't we? Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Yes, good word for same attitudes, views, beliefs. For taste, it's rather "wir haben den gleichen Geschmack" or "wir mögen dieselben Dinge". - I came to fix the cellist's name, with a 10-years-old DYK and new pics - look for red birds! - Good luck with the FAC! --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- It is unlikely it will pass. Its length and the inadequacy of some topics that simply can't be fully covered because of length are already raising exclusively negative comments. How is it possible to cover 2000 years of history - that they demanded last time must include the entire world - and its impact on politics, economics, art, and culture without it being long? Jenhawk777 (talk)
- It has to be long. - See, I don't make Bach's chorale cantata cycle a GA, but individual cantatas, - some even became FA. I think I said this before ;) - Today is a woman poet's centenary. And then I'll look into a recent death, and then work on the Advent cantata which I should have tackled in November ... (but there was travel, celebration and death). Last few pics from trip uploaded. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Yes everyone tells me to take a smaller article to FA, but it isn't the FA I care about so much as the article itself. But I think I am giving up. There is just no way to satisfy everyone. Cé la vie! Jenhawk777 (talk)
- I don't know if you are interested in anything besides the history of Christianity right now, but just for later: today's story is about the Hauptfriedhof Mainz where I had to go and sing, and brought flowers. - I think I never told you not to make the history a FA, but to make something smaller your first FA, as a preparation, to better understand how it works, to be known and respected in that (a bit difficult) elite community. I hope you can see the difference ;) - I tried to put the history of Christianity in one DYK hook, for Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121, on the second day of Christmas, and have to be happy that it was accepted at all although late - imagine: someone sacrificed a hook in the full set to later to make room. However, of the 1500 years my hook covered, only 500 are in prep. I hope that readers will find out in the article. - Finally: crying a bit is ok! I will be back for Christmas. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Bless you Gerda. Merry Christmas. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thank you! We rehearsed for tomorrow. - Today it's another great woman, soprano Sigrid Kehl, and I found a 1963 Christmas Oratorio detail. 10 years earlier than that cycle, Bach wrote seven cantatas for the 1724 season, based on seven songs, - my focus this year. Expect three stories for the three days they celebrated in Leipzig ;) - Enjoy the season! --Gerda Arendt (talk)

Similarly, my second Christmas story is about Christum wir sollen loben schon, BWV 121, 300 years today, and its song, 500 years old. An aria is inspired by a baby leaping in his mother's womb. Enjoy! --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Such a different perspective! Everything in America must be new! We have no reverence! Jenhawk777 (talk)

Your work on "History of Christianity"
Hi Jenhawk777, as you know, I've been reading "History of Christianity". I see that you've contributed almost three-quarters of the content, and I wanted to congratulate you for your fine work on the article—most impressive. The "Who Wrote That?". tool shows which parts you wrote. A huge task, and I think you're doing a splendid job. Carlstak (talk)
- OMG! Thank you. I haven't received many compliments, since most comments have come from reviews looking for ways to improve it, so I am doubly grateful. Hardly anyone realizes what a huge task this has been - maybe ~~ AirshipJungleman29 who is helping to make it more concise is beginning to feel the weight of it a little. It's a humongous topic, and I am not an expert in all these ages, so it has taken two years for me to do the reading and research needed. I am committed to getting this article where it needs to be, and as the wonderful and amazing AirshipJungleman29 will tell you, I have a tendancy to be verbose and include minute detail, so when this is done, he will be as deserving of praise as anyone. And thank you for your input. I am grateful to everyone who has shown up to help on this article. It really needs to be one of WP's best. Jenhawk777 (talk)

- Take a look at other people's user pages - like mine - for ideas of what you might like to include on yours. Some have photos, some have essays, everyone is different. I suggest you di simeting that reflects who you are and why you are on Wikipedia. Post anything, and it will no longer be red.

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page has). -- Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Happy New Year Gerda! Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thank you! - Liebster Immanuel, Herzog der Frommen, BWV 123, my story today 300 years after the first performance, is up for GAN. Dada Masilo will be my story tomorrow. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Congrats! Jenhawk777 (talk)
- To what? Bringing a rather plain cantata article to GAN in a day? (which I should have done before Main page appearance, but real life was in the way.) - Then taken ;) - Listen if you can, - it's unusual. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Yes to both - absolutely! Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thank you! My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Today a violinist from Turkey, Ayla Erduran, whom you can watch playing Schubert chamber music --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- ... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- You write on fun stuff. I need to think of something like that. Jenhawk777 (talk)

I have more vacation pics to offer, and today's story of Werner Bardenhewer. I took the pic, and it was my DYK on his 90th birthday, in both English and German. He spent the day in Africa, and after his return said - chatting after a mass of thanks he celebrated at Mariä Heimsuchung - that we'd have to talk about these articles. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
Semi-random suggestion
Something I of thought after seeing History of Christianity fail FAC in December for size issues. Have you considered bringing some of the subpages up to GA/FA first? It might help you get a handle on summarizing them for the main article. I.e. Christianity in the 1st century and Christianity in the ante-Nicene period are certainly major subsections; while a History of Christianity in [country] article might help you garner a more global view, and History of the Catholic Church (or another denomination) would help understand what events are more or less important.
Whatever you decide, though, I am impressed by your dedication to History of Christianity and how much effort you've put into improving it to the highest standards. So next time it goes to FAC, ping me and I'll try and review it. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk)
- Bless you! Thank you! I'll do that. Jenhawk777 (talk)

History of Christianity
I noticed some rather disparaging comments directed towards you on Talk:History of Christianity. That someone has taken such a sincere and learned approach to improving such a monumental article on a challenging subject deserves nothing but commendation. While I can't say when or if it'll ever be an FA class, that almost doesn't matter. The article—one read by many thousands annually—is in a much better place than before your contributions. ~ Pbritti (talk)
- Hear hear. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- Pbritti and Gråbergs Gråa Sång thank you. I needed that. I am familiar with Borsoka's approach. If there are any mistakes by others, they must run away and hide their heads in shame, whereas when he makes a mistake, it isn't even worth acknowledging as such. It isn't an approach I respect, so I am not particularly effected by it. That doesn't lessen my gratitude toward both of you for this. Thank you again. Jenhawk777 (talk)

"West over East"
Moved to usertalk:jenhawk777Jenhawk777, I apologize for having gone off on a tangent, but I'm a Southerner, and that's what we do.;-) To return to the question of "West over East", I should say that when I hear that phrase, I personally think in terms of Asia rather than the Eastern Church, in whatever iteration. I do believe that Christianity in the modern developing world gets short shrift in the article, but that may be an unavoidable consequence of the constraints of covering life, the universe, and everything in 10,000 words. Sorry, Africa, Asia, South America, and Polynesia.;-)
I just want to throw this out there before I get drunk (kidding, sort of): To figure out what proportion of the article should be devoted to the "East", it might be useful to make an outline (if you haven't already) in your notes, to organize your thoughts. An outline complete with sections, like those listed in the article contents at the top of the page. Maybe put a little abstract of possible content in the individual sections, and publish it in a sandbox so everyone can see it and make suggestions or edit it. What do you think? Carlstak (talk)
- Have you completely lost your mind? No way is that ever going to happen. Everyone can already edit the article itself. Present good sources, Be Bold, and do your own work. That's sufficient. :-( Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Whatever you say, Jenhawk777. (Shock. Dismay.;-)
- You asked, "My question goes back to: should our content reflect that or not; if yes, how much?" Then you said, "I think we are going to have to decide for ourselves how much and what to include. I'm just going to start. Feel free to jump in."
- Who is "ourselves"? If the goal is shooting for FA at some point, I was thinking you would want to shepherd the process—otherwise progress is made only in fits and starts and there will be endless regressions. Not to mention diversions by the occasional drive-by troublemakers. All that would probably happen anyway even with shepherding, but with anarchy it would seem to be much worse.
- This drive has been going on for almost a year and no end in sight, and you're inviting editors to run amuck? You've made 8324 edits to the article. Is this your career?
- You started off on the talk page with this comment: "First off let me say this is a phenomenal article. Cudos to everyone who has contributed. IMO it just needs a little updating here and there." Pardon me, but in light of what you've done since, I find that quite humorous. And you're asking me if I'm crazy? If I'd done that much work on an article and it was still unfinished the guys in white coats would have to wrap me in a straight jacket. (They're actually not that uncomfortable.;-) Carlstak (talk)
- LOL! YES! It has turned into a second career! I had no idea when I started this how much other editors thought it needed - and I would not have known if I hadn't made it a FAC. It hasn't been a year. It's been over two years. WP works on consensus, so it is absolutely necessary that others contribute and are eventually reasonably satisfied with the result. Carlstak this discussion is more personal than content related, so I think it should be moved to my Talk page, is that okay with you? Jenhawk777 (talk)
- I'm done. Carlstak (talk)
- Okay, but it's here now, and can be pursued at will. Jenhawk777 (talk)

Hi! I'm new to this, and I do not really know much, but I have a doubt regarding the article "Simon problems." When i search for sources I keep getting different information each time, like one says he posed them in 1982 and others in 1984, and all of them seem reliable. What must I believe? Should I edit the dates, as the time of solving the problems is also very different from the article? --ThatOneMathGuy (talk)
- No no no, you can't edit sources. Conflicts between what different sources say can be presented in an article as just that - that there is no agreement on a date or some such thing, but information has to reflect what they sy and not yoour opinion of it. That's called original work and that isn't allowed on WP. What sources are you referring to specifically? I will take a look at them and see if I can figure out the problem. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Hello, I want to state clearly that I work for tarte cosmetics. I want to provide additional to the tarte Wikpedia page. The Tarte Wikpedia page was initially set up by a 21 year college student as part of an assignment. The Tarte Wikpedia webpage is inaccurate in certain areas, not well developed and is not reflective of a 25 year old billion dollar company. Similarly sized cosmetic companies have much more developed pages (like Rare Beauty or Estee Lauder). Wikpedia is an important source of information and we want to provide accurate information. I am an attorney and I understand the requirements of including objective nonpromotional content and objective respected sources. Can you help me? I want to supplement sections that exist with documented news sources like Business Week or industry articles. --LegalMakeupTruth (talk)
- Thanx for trying to get this straight before editing! What you want to do is called "Conflict of Interest" editing and it is strongly discouraged on WP. Neutrality is a primary standard and goal of all WP editing, and COI makes that almost impossible - humanly speaking.
- First, read this page: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Some important points:
Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it ...COI editors are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly, and can propose changes on article talk pages instead.
This is the best approach, especially if you propose significant or potentially controversial changes. You can use the double curly brackets front and back around around the phrase edit COI placed at the bottom of the article's talk page. State your suggestion underneath, and be sure to sign it with four tildes. If the proposal is verifiable and appropriate, it will usually be accepted. - If you choose to edit directly, you have three choices on how to disclose your COI: put the template with double curly brackets front and back around the phrase connected contributor at the top of the article's page, fill in the data, and then publish. Or make a statement that you are a COI contributor in the edit summary of any and every edit you make. Or you can use the double curly brackets front and back around the phrase UserboxCOI as a template on your user page with the relevant data filled in there.
- If you don't follow these, eventually someone will notice and revert (remove) all your work, and you will have wasted all your time and effort. Always disclose. Thank you for your interest and support of WP. It's a great place. I hope you enjoy your stay. Jenhawk777 (talk)

I just made Wikipedia due to reading up on a tornado that hit my city, but the information was somewhat inaccurate.
Wikipedia says that you're an experienced editor, and that if I edit, I should consult you. Is there any formatting I need? Would I need to provide proofs of my edited claim? Is there anything I should need to know before editing? --JustOryn (talk)
- Hello! JustOryn I have now posted a welcome to your talk page. You will note that doing so has turned your page name blue. It has some links on it that I recommend you read. Wikipedia has some pretty strict requirements. They are similar but somewhat different from writing research papers and other scholarly writings you might be accustomed to, so no matter how experienced you are, it pays to read these links. There is a lot to learn here, and it can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but if you persevere, I can promise it will be worth it. Wikipedia is a wonderful place - with an occasional bad egg - but it is possible to deal with those as well, and the majority of people here "assume good faith" in others and treat people accordingly. We are glad you are here - honestly - we need and want new editors with a commitment to making a quality encyclopedia. I hope you are one.
- Everything you write must be referenced to a quality secondary source. You must not write original work, personal opinions, or biased views. It will get reverted - deleted by other editors. If you have a source that contradicts what is written here already, you may add that and note that there is disagreement, but unless you have a source that says one is wrong, you can't say so. You don't get to pick which one you think is right. We try to write the majority view but also include dissenting views because WP tries to be neutral. It tries not to have a point of view but presents in a representative manner the points of view of those in the sources. That includes all of them and not just the one you agree with. Sourcing is our god. All disputes over content rise and fall on quality sourcing. Good luck, and if you have any future questions, feel free to ask. Jenhawk777 (talk)

Interesting article. Stephen Harrison is something of a WP "beat reporter" and has a pretty good WP-understanding. He told me once (he has a WP-account) "I've always said at speaking events that I do not especially want a personal Wikipedia page. I have a somewhat unique perspective in that people email me every 2-3 weeks complaining about their Wikipedia articles and I can tell it's causing them a lot of grief." A few days later he said (paraphrased) "Btw, here's a source you can use for that draft about me." Like Oscar Wilde said, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about."

Started a new article, very unusual thing happened
The name George Lundeen popped up at the Teahouse, and I got interested. I finished it, and after sometime, a new arrival popped up at the talkpage saying hello, I work for him, thanks for working on this article! Thinking one can always ask, I say how about giving us some pictures, here's how you can do that? My jaw drops when 2 hours later she replies SURE!!
So I put them on Commons (some were there already, and some of those are being purged per rulez) and have been spreading them on WP quite a bit, learning about Casey at the Bat and Stations of the Cross in the process. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
Hello, can I add recent photos that needs to be updated --Edited by 234 (talk)
- @Edited by 234 Depends on what you mean. The basic assumption is that any random picture you find online is under copyright and can't be used on Wikipedia. If, say, you think the Jennifer Aniston article should have a newer leadimage, you can't just pick one you like from her instagram or wherever.
- So, can you give an example of what you want to do? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)

Hans-Josef Klauck died, - could you please check if the terminology is right? -- Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Gerda Arendt Done. Not much to do really. It was interesting. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- No problem! Happy you think of me to ask and happy to help. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- sure! - Tout est lumière. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Could you please look over Peter Stuhlmacher? Any refs in English? Perhaps a trace of who wrote that detailed bio?? --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- Thank you! - Check out my talk: for a great woman's Johannes-Passion (listen!), our music in detail, and three people who recently died and are on the main page (where she isn't). My call for collaboration has the first "no", and the second - for the Easter Oratorio - seems inevitable. - I'll look reviews after Easter, yours is third in the queue. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- My story is about music that Bach and Picander gave the world 300 years (and 19 days) ago, - listen (on the conductor's birthday) --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- I wrote my story today and then found it's the person's funeral day. - I hated to see DYK for Johannes-Passion (Gubaidulina) today instead of Good Friday, but it seems also right in the context. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- I finally managed to upload the pics I meant for Easter, see places. - Also finally, I managed a FAC, Easter Oratorio. I wanted that on the main page for Easter Sunday, but no, twice. You are invited to join a discussion about what "On this day" means, day or date. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- sure! - Tout est lumière. --Gerda Arendt (talk)
- No problem! Happy you think of me to ask and happy to help. Jenhawk777 (talk)
- Thank you! --Gerda Arendt (talk)

Hello Jenhawk777, I have created a User Account so that I could start a Wikipedia page about myself. I want to write an introductory article about myself and then carry on with my work history, my publishing history and articles about some of my projects. Have I started this project in the correct way? --Engraverman (talk)
- Only if there is sufficient secondary material published about you to use as a references. You cannot use yourself as a source. You are a primary source, and WP does not reference primary sources. That would require our interpretation, and that's against WP:OR. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Thank you for being my mentor! I definitely will be in touch with questions. --EditWharton (talk)
- Hello! I have sent a welcome to your talk page and hope you will check out those links. There's a lot to learn when you first start on Wikipedia. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Sorry about your FA.
It seems this topic chokes our system somehow, and I don't know what to do about it. If there were three you against the inquisitors, you might have a chance. Or if the FA focused on one section at a time until that was done, and then moved on. Hope you're ok. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk)
- I hope it is OK to put my two pennies in here.
- I've watched all of the work you have put into the article and you have done a fantastic job. Never forget that your work has improved the article tremendously. Well done you. Knitsey (talk)

Thank you all so much. Your kindness brought tears to my eyes. I can be tough when people are mean and as soon as someone is kind I lose it! Don't stop being kind though! 
This topic does choke this particular system which is statistically populated with people with strong feelings against Christianity. UC is the only person in all the reviews this article has had over the last two years who has ever accused me of being biased toward Christianity. UC never checked the sources I cited. They never responded to me checking theirs. But none of that mattered. Once you get an oppose, if you argue you're in the wrong for arguing, and if you don't argue and just accept it, you are still screwed. The oppose - not its reasons or its validity - are all that matters. It is hard to think that this method of selection doesn't need revising, but I don't know into what or how. I am finally giving up on this one. It will never get through FA no matter what I do simply because there are so many details, there is no end of sources for disagreement. It's impossible to please everyone. I accept that now. I also thank you for your kindnesses. It helps. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Hello, I'm looking to request an article for a senior civil servant in Indian law enforcement. All of the material has been collated however there is a conflict of interest. Could you guide me on the approach to submission and way forward.
This would be a article for an accomplished senior Indian Police Services Officer with multiple awards, a tedx speaker who has held key responsibilities in the state. --Abhisennin (talk)
- You can write a biography of a live person Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons but you need to have secondary sources to do so. News articles qualify, but it must be a published source that is not you. You may not use yourself or them as a source. You are both primary sources, and that would require what is called WP:OR original research, and that is not allowed on Wikipedia.
- Read this page: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and disclose what your relationship with this person is and if there is any conflict of interest. Some important points:
Editors with a COI, including paid editors, are expected to disclose it ...COI editors are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly, and can propose changes on article talk pages instead.
- If you don't follow these, eventually someone will notice and revert (remove) all your work, and you will have wasted all your time and effort. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Hello. Ruth Buzzi recently passed and I’d like to edit her filmography (TV show section) to include the fact she was panelist on Hollywood Squares in 1968 (4 times but that is irrelevant). I could not figure out how to insert that information between her other television appearances.. mainly “That Girl” and “The Carol Burnett Show”. Thank you if you can help. --Scott Slowik (talk)
- Hello Scott Slowik and welcome to Wikipedia. I am posting a welcome with some links on your talk page. Please do a quick read of those links. There is a lot to learn here, so taking the time to do that is important to your success and enjoyment - and the acceptance of your work. You can start here: Help:Editing. You must have secondary sources - printed sources - that are not you. You are a primary source and therefore are not a valid WP reference. You would have to interpret what you say yourself and its accuracy cannot be verified by a reader who doesn't know you. That's anathema here. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Hi, how do I correct an error in this article on the Calvary statue on the Charles Bridge in Prague. It mentions a plaque placed near the statue at the request of group of North American rabbis. I was one of those rabbis present along with a representative from the Cardinal and the mayor of Prague and the year was not, as stated, 2009. It was in 2000. --RabbiEMF (talk)
- Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I have posted a welcome with a few links in it that should be read before attempting editing here. In answer to your question, you must have secondary sources. You cannot use yourself as a source - unless someone interviewed you and printed it in a newspaper or magazine or some such thing, you are not a viable WP source. You are a primary source, and primary sources cannot be used because you would have to interpret them yourself WP:OR and they would not be verifiable WP:verifiablity for the reader. Jenhawk777 (talk)
Hello，
I found out that the name of my favorite singer on Wiki page is wrong, so I registered on Wiki and changed his name. Then a few days later, another user cancelled my change saying that it was because the Wikipedia guideline said the name of Hong Kong person should be a hyphenated style.
As a Hong Konger, based on Hong Kong ID Card and Passport, the names on Hong Kong legal documents are not hyphenated.
The actual case is Eason Chan. His current name showed on wiki page is Eason Chan Yick-shun, but according to Hong Kong legal documents such as passport and ID cards, it should be Eason Chan Yick Shun.
And the user who cancelled my edit told me to follow this page "WP:ZHNAME".
Am i get any mistake in my editing? --PsaiKi S (talk)
- You have to cite the secondary source you used to make that change or another editor will revert you every time. I have now posted a welcome to your talk page with links that will answer your questions here. Referencing is a requirement. Use good quality secondary sources. If you do that and still get reverted, post on the talk page and ask them to provide references and see if you can work it out. Jenhawk777 (talk)

- No, that's fine, just be sure it is all properly cited to reliable sources.Jenhawk777 (talk)
