I'll try to find some info to back up these claims in Polish sources. As far as notability goes, I don't think that's an issue at all.Volunteer Marek (talk) 18:03, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki guides

Hello Jane. Welcome to Wikipedia. As part of the current WikiGuides trial program, I've been given a list of 10 new editors to contact and offer to assist. Wikipedia can be frustrating to start out with, and there are a ton of long policy documents, technical discussion, and such that can be alienating. That said, a lot of the basics aren't too bad, and a lot of the bumps are easier with someone to help you roll with them. That would be me, Buster7. Feel free to write me at any point with any question by hitting the "Talk" button in my signature and posting on my Talk page. Give me a shout. I'm eager to assist in any way I can. Buster Seven Talk /small> 04:52, 27 February 2011 (UTC) [reply]

- The (@ Jane) thing I did at the beginning of this edit is useful when you get into conversations with more than one editor. It prevents confusion as to who you are replying to.

Thanks for dropping us a line at Wikipedia_talk:POLAND#Polish_cabaret:_performers.2C_composers.2C_directors.2C_etc.. You have a reply waiting there (you may want to check the thread there daily if you post a question there, replies there will not cause any other notification like the ones here). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 23:00, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Spam blacklist

(... pause while I go to check my statements) ... huh! Okay, the situation has been resolved -- one of the two warring sites has gone under, the domain name is up for sale, etc. So I guess this is resolved. DS (talk) 18:03, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make a new subcategory of "Jewish composers and songwriters" called "Jewish composers and songwriters in Europe" (as opposed to a currently existing subcategory called "Jewish American composers and songwriters." How do I do it? Thanks. Jane Peppler (talk) 19:10, 3 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Jane. Hope you don't mind but I fixed this thread. The way it was didn't provide an {edit} button. Check out the history so you can see the difference. Is your Question about an article that you are working on? If so, just start a new thread at the article called "Jewish composers and songwriters in Europe".

Wow! You have been a very productive editor. I just wanted to say thanks for all your great contributions. I'm really happy you are helping expand Wikipedia. Did you know you've already created 15 new articles? You can see them here. Well, you probably already know, but WOW! I mean... Well you know what I mean. That's just great.

Anyhoo, I've been working on a guide to help people reference articles. It's at Wikipedia:List-defined reference how-to guide. I was wondering if you'd mind looking at it and let me know how I could improve it. If you have time, that is. Thanks again for all your great contributions. Best regards. - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 15:14, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Your list-defined reference page

Hello. You have a new message at Hydroxonium's talk page. - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 17:10, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jane. So glad you have met Editor:Hydroxonium and that he is a part of your early journey. I have also just met him. He is very helpful and courteous; the kind of Wikipedian that will enlarge the circle. Surprisingly, some Wikipedians resist acknowledging the Social Community. From my vantage point, I think they are mistaken. Good Editing! TRA! Buster Seven Talk 20:57, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

flummoxed (as usual) - this time, by disambiguation

Hi, I've worked on a Polish composer Dawid_Beigelman There are many spellings of his name (more, even, than I put in the article) and several end up pointed to David Begelman Argh. I don't think I am up to figuring this out....

I'd love to help but you should tell us, what exactly your question is here. Restore {{helpme}} with a question and I or someone else will be happy to answer it. Also, do not put {{helpme}} inside a header (as you did above), it will break the header display. Regards So Why 12:13, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Someone has replied to your request for help.
Please see below for the reply. If you need more help or have additional questions, please replace the code {{help me-helped}} on this page with {{help me}}, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

how do I set up a disambiguation page so if somebody were to search for David Beygelman (or some other spelling of this name) they would arrive at a page that asks them to choose which D. B. they are after. Jane Peppler (talk) 18:53, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good general rule that, if you want to know about something on Wikipedia, it's worth typing its name in the search box preceded by "WP:" or by "Help:" - in this case Help:Disambiguation will give you an overview, and WP:Disambiguation the full works.

Zina Goldstein

Please make your articles comply with the standard Wikipedia opening line: "XXX (dates) is/was a (nationality) (occupation)." The opening line is very important as it's what people see in various search systems. The article at present starts with "Born 1894 in Minsk, White Russia, Zina moved to Warsaw with her parents.": so who was Zina, why has she got a Wikipedia article, etc? It should be obvious from that first sentence. And do we have a death date for her? PamD (talk) 18:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jane, just looked at a much more recent article you created, Władysław Godik, and I see you're still not starting articles in the conventional Wikipedia style (seeWP:BEGINNING). Please start to do so. I've cleaned up this one. Thanks. PamD (talk) 13:14, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Couple of points

Hi Jane,

Apropos of Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Can_the_names_of_referenced_policy_pages_be_expanded_when_cited.3F, have you done this: Go to "My preferences" (top right), click on "Gadgets", "Browing Gadgets", and tick "Navigation popups". Then if you move your mouse over a link such as WP:CSD, it will show you where that abbreviation redirects to. Not much help if the abbreviation isn't a link, but might be useful.

I had a look at Nellie Casman. Good to see that it starts with a proper sentence, thanks. But please remember to format links properly to avoid "WP:LINKROT" - ie give enough information so that the article can be retrieved again even if the web link doesn't work, especially for somethingn like the NYT obituary which has a definite off-web existence. Also, please remember that Wikipedia is not an American encyclopedia, so it's inappropriate to say someone "came" to the USA. Thanks, and happy editing, and I hope I'm not "discouraging" you again.

Would you be interested in doing Wikipedia outreach on Campus?

Hello, I noticed that you are an academic at Duke and that you have been creating excellent content, and my want to participate in our outreach program for campuses called the Wikipedia Ambassador Program. We will be looking for more WP:Campus Ambassadors to train in the United States for Fall 2011, and I think you would make an excellent candidate to participate. Campus Ambassadors are trained primarily to support Wikipedia Teaching assignments at Universities, but that same skills training is useful in doing general outreach such as faculty presentations and workshops for Teaching technologists and librarians. We were initially attached to the Public Policy Initiative, however, we plan to branch out in to many other topic areas for the fall. If you are interested add your contact information on this page, and we will contact you over the summer as we begin applications and training, Sadads (talk) 11:35, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Autopatrolled

Hello, this is just to let you know that I have granted you the "autopatrolled" permission. This won't affect your editing, it just automatically marks any page you create as patrolled, benefiting new page patrollers. Please remember:

This permission does not give you any special status or authority
Submission of inappropriate material may lead to its removal
You may wish to display the {{Autopatrolled}} top icon and/or the {{User wikipedia/autopatrolled}} userbox on your user page
If, for any reason, you decide you do not want the permission, let me know and I can remove it

If you have any questions about the permission, don't hesitate to ask. Otherwise, happy editing! Acalamari 11:36, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged revisions, underwent a two-month trial which ended on 15 August 2010. Its continued use is still being discussed by the community, you are free to participate in such discussions. Many articles still have pending changes protection applied, however, and the ability to review pending changes continues to be of use.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under level 1 pending changes and edits made by non-reviewers to level 2 pending changes protected articles (usually high traffic articles). Pending changes was applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't grant you status nor change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Use of YouTube as a source

Hi, I notice that you frequently cite YouTube as a source in your articles. You are probably unaware that YouTube is not considered a reliable source. However, if a YouTube clip is from a film that has been published somewhere, you can cite the film's name as a reliable source.Hoops gza (talk) 11:46, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I would not worry about this. Personally I did not revert any of your work, I do not have doubts that it is truth, it's just that Wikipedia has some policies which are difficult to always follow to the letter. Someone else might try to revert your work, and I wanted to give you a heads up because you clearly spend much time and effort on creating these articles. Happy editing!Hoops gza (talk) 23:08, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting your insights and perspectives

Dear Jane, thank you for all your work for the Encyclopedia. I'd like to invite you to contribute to the DRN concerning adding L. Susan Brown to the 'See also' section of The Zeitgeist Movement (TZM). Some of us believe the inclusion of Brown’s deep knowledge and perspective is helpful not just for her expertise, and for the sake of fairness, but, more importantly, because it provides a female perspective that would supply depth and context to the TZM article. Other editors oppose that view. Best regards, IjonTichyIjonTichy (talk) 14:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
