Thank you Jenhawk777 for the message that you left on Gerda's page for me. Truly, the volunteers of these huge projects like WP, LibriVox, DP cannot go the extra mile without people like Gerda and you, who inject fresh energy into the volunteers. The kind words are our only salary, and fortunately we all can pay each other a lot. :) Qapisce (talk) 10:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

A superior barnstar for you! edit

  The Order of the Superior Scribe of Wikipedia   
For all the time and effort you have put in — across thousands of edits — to markedly improve numerous articles related to Christianity all these years. The magnitude of the positive impact you have had with regard to Wikipedia's coverage of academic topics related to Christianity is unprecedented; I cannot think of any other editor who has worked so rigorously and improved those topics to the extent that you have. You are a phenomenal editor and your work is awe-inspiring. Thank you for all that you do! — The Most Comfortable Chair 21:12, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
This has touched me so deeply I almost cried. Thank you so, so very much. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Referencing of Conversion to Christianity edit

ActivelyDisinterested Bless you! Thank you! I so deeply appreciate you and all your work. You are still the one I will reach out to when I have a problem, but you have taught me a lot, and this article was just too much to ask someone else to do for me. I would have enjoyed banging my head against a wall more, but hey, I followed your example and got it done. I put it up for peer review and others suggested adding back a theology section which I am beginning work on today. Thank you again. You are a great blessing.

IAN McSHANE TALKS ABOUT LOVEJOY. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:36, 21 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

I deeply admire Ian McShane's talent. I thought he was under appreciated in America. He makes it look so natural that it's hard to tell he's acting - he just seems to be being himself - but that's really the epitome of good acting isn't it? He's brilliant. Thank you for this!

I uploaded vacation pics (from back home), and I listen to Bach's St John Passion today, - 300 years after it was first performed. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 29 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

My church did an Easter cantata that included Bach's "Oh Sacred Head now Wounded" this year. It always makes me cry. I love Bach. Happy Easter! Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:46, 30 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Understand. I always cry when the orchestra begins the opening of the St Matthew Passion. - Two days later in time, Bach music for Easter! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:44, 31 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from SandhuuSingh (03:54, 7 April 2024) edit

Hi, one question How do you create something? --SandhuuSingh (talk) 03:54, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Do you mean how do you create your first article or do you mean how do you write anything anywhere? To write something, first you must have something worth writing, and that begins with good research in secondary sources. Click on edit source at the top of whatever you are editing, write and cite your sources, then press publish. Before writing anything though I suggest reading: Contributing is easy: see how to edit a page. For a quick summary on participating, see contributing to Wikipedia, and for a friendly tutorial, see our introduction. For a listing of introductions and tutorials by topic, see getting started. The Simplified Manual of Style and Cheatsheet can remind you of basic wiki markup.
Be bold in improving articles! When adding facts, please provide references so others may verify them. If you are affiliated with the article subject, please see our conflict of interest guideline. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:59, 7 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from MatteoSilver (09:24, 11 April 2024) edit

Hello, I’m new to editing. Is it okay to be done from a phone or tablet? I don’t typically use a computer. --MatteoSilver (talk) 09:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

@MatteoSilver Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Yes, it's ok, though depending on how you do it, things may look different from when you work with a laptop. User:Cullen328/Smartphone editing may have something you find useful. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:32, 14 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello edit

You may or may not find this discussion interesting: Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard#Methuselah it's not really in the right place and will probably not "decide" anything by itself, but it's a recurring topic for some articles you've heard of.

Question from Lim Ban Siew (15:11, 18 April 2024) edit

how can i start to personal information ? --Lim Ban Siew (talk) 15:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please do not do that on Wikipedia. This is not a social platform, and there are those who will abuse and misuse that information. This is an encyclopedia published by those who do research and write what amounts to Master's level research papers. Protect your work and yourself by keeping all personal information personal.

Question from Mitsoukorussie (19:22, 22 April 2024) edit

Hi, I believe I provided valid reasons for editing the Stewart Shining article, but another editor removed my edits without verifying why they were edited in the first place. I believe this was an aggressive move by him. Today, I entered entries under the "talk" section of "Stewart Shining," as well as the "Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara," before adding any changes. Am I going about this correct way? Can I ask another editor to help me verify my edits and make the changes? --Mitsoukorussie (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

You are doing exactly right. The list of problems on the Talk page suggests this article should be nominated for deletion. Go here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion and follow the instructions. The article can be recreated in the future if it becomes appropriate to do so. Jenhawk777 (talk) 14:23, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from ZH09 (21:14, 22 April 2024) edit

Question from Tet-Math2 on User:Tet-Math2/sandbox (22:29, 24 April 2024) edit

I'm trying to get this published. It has equations in it that I could not find anywhere when I needed them. Perhaps others are in the boat I just escaped from.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tet-Math2/sandbox --Tet-Math2 (talk) 22:29, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Well that's easy to explain. Read this entire page: Wikipedia:Verifiability especially this Wikipedia:Verifiability#Original research because what you have is 100% original research without a single source cited. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that only publishes verifiable material from secondary sources - research papers. All original research will be deleted. If you don't delete it, I will.

Hello Jenhawk777 I'm User:Tet-Math2/sandbox There's NO submit for review option at the bottom of my sandbox. I'm asking you to review my efforts & hopefully inject them into Wikipedia. It's not much good if they just stay in my sandbox !!! I'm dying to know if these are new equations never seen before. Gasp Gasp Gasp --Tet-Math2 (talk) 12:01, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I have already answered this. I looked at it before answering above. You must abide by Wikipedia policies. Wikipedia does not publish original work. There is not a single secondary source cited for any of this other than Wikipedia itself. If you publish this, it will be deleted. Jenhawk777 (talk) 15:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
