== [[Battle at Springmartin]] ==

You beat me to it! I'd been planning on making an article about this for months but never got round to it. I hav a stack of information saved in a document, "on standby" as it were. Let me know when you're done with the first phase of construction and I'll begin mine as soon as I can (you know... adding the roof, doors, windows, a.s.f).<br>It's looking good so far. [[User:Asarlaí|~Asarlaí]] 17:47, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:You have info?! Thank God as I just cannot get anything decent on Google Books. BTW, I moved the title to Battle at Springmartin as that's how Cusack & McDonald refer to it. Feel free to start adding!!!--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 17:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

You are [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities&diff=prev&oldid=489819525 kidding], aren't you? Recognizing this is all a matter of opinion, and that mine is no more significant than yours, he appears to be sullen, unwashed and seriously deficient in the matter of facial hair - a sulky child, in fact. Now, if you want a beautiful man, [http://www.sofeminine.co.uk/celebrities/pierce-brosnan/album840032/pierce-brosnan-fan-club-album-20750748.html he] will always be my favourite, though time and gravity have had their effect.  :-) [[User:Bielle|Bielle]] ([[User talk:Bielle|talk]]) 03:32, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
:[[Gabriel Garko]] is the hearththrob of Italy and always plays a baddie you just LOVE to hate. In fact he did a mock strip the other night on a popular Italian programme [[Amici di Maria De Filippi]] and the females in the audience went wild. Actually this photo I uploaded doesn't do him justice, however it's free so we have to make do with it. I agree however, that Pierce is georgeous as is Antonio Banderas!!!

== [[User talk:92.36.146.6‎| 92.36.146.6‎]] ==

Hello Jeanne Boleyn,
I am sorry that you had to revert all the edits that 92.36.146.6‎ did. I had informed that he is disruptive, though he just said that I was disruptive by reverting his edits. He even went off of English consorts and was taking away the Princess of Beira information off of articles of women that were soley Princesses of Beira. Well I hope that this disruptive IP was not a big inconvinience to you, I just thought I should say thank you for reverting all his edits, users like you are why wikipedia is a helpful and informative place. Cheers, [[User:Cristiano Tomás|Cristiano Tomás]] ([[User talk:Cristiano Tomás|talk]]) 07:00, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
:No problem, Christiano. It's annoying when editors like 92.36.146.6 come along just to conduct a personal crusade on a series of articles without even bothering to discuss their proposals on the respective talk pages. This is purely disruptive behaviour. Thank you for your praise.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 07:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
::Well deserved praise. Good luck on your future editings! [[User:Cristiano Tomás|Cristiano Tomás]] ([[User talk:Cristiano Tomás|talk]]) 07:09, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
:::Same to you! Cheers!--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 07:14, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

The "predecessor" and "successor" parameters have never been used in infoboxes in articles about consorts until a user unilaterally and without any discussion or explanation added them in April 2012. That was the undiscussed edit that made the articles about English queens inconsistent with the articles about all the other European queens. Infoboxes in articles about the rest of European queens consort do not have these parameters. Why? Because [[Template:Infobox royalty/doc|they are not supposed to]]. The documentation clearly says that those parameters are "''for use in succession whose titles are entirely and directly hereditary''". This is not a personal crusade; you should try to [[WP:Good faith|assume good faith]] before proceeding to accuse an editor. You were both so eager to revert my edits that you reinserted a bunch of clearly wrong information, such as claims that three men were queens, that a woman was succeedd by woman who had died 15 years earlier or that the crown of Scotland ceased to exist in 1619. You should also take an effort to explain the reversion of an explained edit. Thanks, [[Special:Contributions/92.36.169.45|92.36.169.45]] ([[User talk:92.36.169.45|talk]]) 17:40, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
:One again I must ask you to show me WP that specifically says the predecessor and successor parameters cannot be used for royal consorts in infoboxes. An explanation in an edit summary is not consensus and it took me an hour to clean up after you.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 05:57, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
::It is how the infobox is supposed to be used <u>according to the documentation I keep linking you to</u>; it is how the infobox has been used ever since it was created; it is how the infobox is used in every relevant article except (since April 2012) those about English queens consort. I have done enough showing, to be honest. I showed you where it is specifically said that those parameters are not meant to be used for consorts in infboxoes and I have demonstrated that they have never been used. It is up to you to show me a consensus that, after many years of usage, the infobox should be used differently and that a special exception should be made for English queens consort. Until then, I will clean up after you. [[Special:Contributions/92.36.144.159|92.36.144.159]] ([[User talk:92.36.144.159|talk]]) 11:43, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

== Dublin and Monaghan ==

Hi Jeanne. Per [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dublin_and_Monaghan_bombings&diff=next&oldid=493023792#cite_note-1 this edit], I've been trying to locate the specific report to see the exact wording, but so many other reports etc. 'pop up'. Can you help in finding an online link to the one referred to? Sorry to bother. Best. [[User:RashersTierney|RashersTierney]] ([[User talk:RashersTierney|talk]]) 14:17, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
:I've just added the link. You weren't bothering me BTW. Cheers!--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 14:25, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
::Many thanks for that, but I can't find any reference to the bombs being 'so well constructed that 100% detonation occurred' etc. at the location specified, (p22 Indices), or anywhere else in the report. In fact at p251 (p314 of PDF doc) 
*''In addition to the question of whether loyalist paramilitaries had access to sufficient quantities of ammonium nitrate to cause the Dublin explosions, it has been said that the absence of any residue or unexploded portions of the bombs implies a level of skill in mixing ANFO bombs that could only have come from within the ranks of the British military. There are several problems with this proposition:'' 

Not being picky but the report appears inconclusive at several places re. the level of technical expertise of the bomb makers. [[User:RashersTierney|RashersTierney]] ([[User talk:RashersTierney|talk]]) 15:16, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
:It is on page 22 of the Hidden Hand transcript. An Irish Army bomb disposal expert is saying that the bombs' ingredients all exploded with no remaining residue. Look at the bottom of the report under Hidden Hand, page 22.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 16:35, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
::I used my own words not exact paraphrasing. The article already has a plethora of quotes from the Barron Report and other reports.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 16:43, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

== Catherine of Naples ==

Hi, Jeanne! A few days ago, I was wondering about [[Catherine of Naples|Catherine]], the elder daughter of Queen [[Joan I of Naples]] and [[Louis, Prince of Taranto]]. She died aged 17 as heiress presumptive to the thrones of Naples and Provence. Unfortunatly, I haven't been able to find much about her, which surprises me; marrying the 16-year-old daughter and only child of a reigning queen of Naples and countess of Provence must have been the best thing that could have happened to a 14th century European prince! Can you find any information? [[User:Surtsicna|Surtsicna]] ([[User talk:Surtsicna|talk]]) 17:22, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
:I'll see what I can come up with!--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 17:26, 19 May 2012 (UTC)
::Same here. I was able to find lots about her [[Catherine of Hungary (1370-1378)|namesake and fellow Angevin heiress presumptive]] though she lived 10 years shorter than Joan I's daughter. If there had been so much fuss about the 7-year-old Catherine of Hungary's marriage, there must be even more about Catherine of Naples somwehere. If only I could find it. Thank you, Jeanne!

== Hey Jeanne! ==

Hey Jeanne! How have you been recently? I see you've found my Anne of Auvergne article, the red link to her name had been bugging me for a while I had to do something about it and on Catherine of Naples, I originally added her name to her mother, Queen Joan's article and I thought there must have been some info on her but I could find very little, not enough for an article. Also, I've been thinking about creating an article for Isabel Stewart, daughter of James II and Mary of Modena, though I know she lived only for a short time looking at her mother's article there's a few details about her life. Also, I've become a '''BIG''' Madonna fan in the last year, do you like her? I believe you like the Borderline video :) --[[User:Daaviiid|David]] ([[User talk:Daaviiid|talk]]) 17:52, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
:Yes I do like some of her 1980s stuff, but I really don't pay much attention to her these days to be perfectly honest. If you can find enough info why not do an article on Isabel?--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 17:57, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
::Fair enough, I do think her greatest music was in the 80s such as Live to Tell, Open Your Heart, Borderline and Like a Prayer. I want to do it the reason I hesitate is because I think there's a few nasty editors involved with the Stuarts' articles however, if Charles I's daughter Anne (died aged 3) can have one, I don't see why Isabel can't though I probably won't get round to it until Sunday --[[User:Daaviiid|David]] ([[User talk:Daaviiid|talk]]) 18:08, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

== Adding pictures to articles ==

'''AJM's advice''' 
* '''Look''' to see if the subject of your image is already covered. Don't duplicate subject matter already present. Don't delete a picture just to put in your own, unless your picture is demonstrably ''better for the purpose''.  The caption and nearby text will help you decide this. 
* '''Search''' through the text to find the right place for your image.  If you wish it to appear ''adjacent to'' a particular body of text, then place it above the text, not at the end of it.   
* '''Look''' to see how the pictures are formatted.  If they are all small thumbnails, ''do not'' size your picture at 300 px.  The pictures in the article may have been carefully selected to follow a certain visual style e.g. every picture may be horizontal, because of restricted space; every picture might be taken from a certain source, so they all match.  Make sure your picture ''looks appropriate'' in the context of the article.
* '''Read''' the captions of existent pictures, to see how yours should fit in. 
* '''Check''' the formatting, placement, context and caption ''before you leave the page'' by using the '''Show preview''' function, and again after saving. 
* '''Discuss'''  If your picture seems to fill a real identifiable need in the article, but doesn't fit well, because of formatting or some other constraint, then put it on the talk page and discuss, before adding. 
* '''Be aware''' that adding a picture may substantially change the layout of the article.  Your addition may push another picture out of its relevant section or cause some other formatting problem. 
* '''Edit''' before adding.  Some pictures will look much better, or fit an article more appropriately if they are cropped to show the relevant subject.

:In the case of your picture of the facade of [[Cefalù Cathedral]], because it reproduced subject matter that was already there, it was either better or redundant. In this case it was plainly ''much better'' than the lead picture.  Don't be afraid to be radical in situations like that!

== Lack of motivation ==

Hi Jeanne, I happened to nice that you recently posted a thread at Jimbo's talk page about lack of motivation for yourself as a content creator.  I am part of a new project focused on editor retention.  Can you describe what has changed for you regarding your motivation to edit at Wikipedia?  what's used to motivate you? What has changed?  Thanks.... <code>[[User:Zad68|<span style="color:#D2691E">'''Zad'''</span>]][[User_Talk:Zad68|<span style="color:#206060">''68''</span>]]</code> 00:11, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
:Basically when I had an article deleted, then I had images deleted. Then I see other pages that I have worked on nominated for deletion. I used to nominate my new articles for DYK until I was insulted so quit doing that. Then a few months ago an editor came along and messed up an article: [[1989 Jonesborough ambush]] that I had spent much time and effort on. It took two days to undo his/her mess. I have got two articles ([[Sibyl de Neufmarché]] and [[Miami Showband killings]]) up to GA class and have created over 300 articles in the four years that I've been an editor at Wikipedia. However the straw which really broke the camel's back for me was when I was recently accused of writing in an "unencyclopedic, tabloid-style". All my efforts were instantly deprecated, downgraded abd basically spat upon. Hence my lack of motivation. Thank you for taking the time to ask. My reasons may sound trivial but they have served to deprive me of a desire to create content.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 06:34, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
::Let me just say that I have always enjoyed [1] what you chose to write about and [2] the way in which you wrote.  But I agree with you that other's snide comments are a big disincentive here. And the fact is, at Wikipedia as in most entities, while [[regression to the mean]] means that bad articles will gradually improve, it also means that articles which have been curated to a good or featured status will gradually deteriorate, and those who guard against such deterioration will be attacked as showing "ownership" or have some other such epithet applied.

:::[[WP:TPS]] here.  I agree - although equally I'm aware of serious real problems of [[WP:OWNERSHIP]] on some articles, including many of those that have gone through GA and FA processes (not Jeanne's, but others).   WP is like trying to shepherd cats - well-meaning editors will inevitably misunderstand, or have aggressive interactions with, other well-meaning editors if their only (or best) means of communication is through talk pages or edit summaries.  I try not to take comments to heart - in most cases, for most readers, well-meaning and policy-grounded changes to the wording of WP articles don't matter very much - but there are fundamental and apparently irresolvable problems in improving and developing WP in that the [[WP:PROJECT]] model of how to get better articles simply doesn't work, and there is no way of addressing the growing imbalance between improving important articles (necessary but difficult) and creating new articles (less necessary, but much easier to achieve).  [[User:Ghmyrtle|Ghmyrtle]] ([[User talk:Ghmyrtle|talk]]) 08:02, 12 July 2012 (UTC)  PS: Just to add that, along with many others, my input to WP has greatly diminished in recent months - but one of the reasons is that, like many others, I simply get bored with hobbies (like WP editing - it is a hobby after all, not a job or a duty) after a few years, and seek new and different directions in life.  WP does not have the (relative) excitement of being "new" any more.  That won't change, but the long-term issue of who will curate and maintain WP needs to be addressed somehow.

== [[Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter]] ==

In 2006 there was a debate which revolved around  quality or quantity ([[Wikipedia:100,000 feature-quality articles]]), and since that time there has been a gradual acceptance that if Wikipedia is to be a trusted source for information then it needs to cite reliable sources for most information that it publishes.

As Wikipedia is a work in progress and the need for citations was not considered so necessary in years gone by, there are many articles which if written today would not meet the requirements considered necessary to survive an AfD.

For these reasons when you come across an [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_of_York,_Duchess_of_Exeter&oldid=108108449 old articles] such as [[Anne of York, Duchess of Exeter]], to gradually improve them and bring them up to the standards that good articles now require, it helps if all new information added to an article carries inline citations. Then only the older information will need to have citations added to it some time in the future -- not the more recent stuff.

So when you add information to an article as you did [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anne_of_York%2C_Duchess_of_Exeter&diff=491854004&oldid=491852870 here] please consider adding an in-line citation to support it.

If (as was true in this case) there is no citation on the sentence that immediately precedes your new text then placing {{tl|citation needed}} after the last old text and before your new text make it clear that your in-line citation only covers the text that you have added.

== Hi friend ==

I saw your bit at the Jimmy Wales Talk page... I empathize. Bear in mind that primary sources aren't ''banned,'' they are just discouraged — and if push comes to shove at Articles for Deletion you're going to need to muster multiple published sources in a notability defense. The safest thing to do, I've found, is to make sure you have the published sourcing before you start — then use the primary sources to flesh out the story if you need to do that. You probably already know this. As for citing your own site, as long as you're footnoting and its accurate and its not commercial, don't hesitate to use it when need arises to document this or that. But again: it's KEY to make sure you have published sources in hand on a topic before you even start to write. There are encyclopedic dictionaries published everywhere about everything — track down a couple likely candidates and buy them; and if money is that big of a problem (they can be hugely expensive), figure out how to shake some coins loose from Wikimedia Foundation, which has bucks. The subscriptions for journal articles mentioned above would also be a boon; figure out how to get on that list or make friends with someone with access who can send you a pdf or two as needed. Keep up the good work. —Tim Davenport /// [[User:Carrite|Carrite]] ([[User talk:Carrite|talk]]) 18:58, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== Ramble Inn attack ==

I thought it was about time this article was created.This horrible incident has been totally forgotten.Finding details about it is proving very difficult to say the least.
Regarding which unit of the UVF were responsible is hard to say.As far as I know there was no "North Antrim" brigade of the UVF.They had a presence in Ballymena itself albeit a minority one as most of Ballymena and the outer lying North Antrim area is strong UDA territory.Another possible thought is perhaps Antrim town itself, both the UDA and UVF were active there although the UDA would of had a bigger presence.My idea though is likely that the killers were not local and perhaps were acting on faulty intelligence.The pub was Catholic owned yes but the rural area it's in is predominately Protestant and the nearby villages of Kells/Connor and the bigger town of Randalstown would be defined as loyalist.So it would be bizarre to think whatever few Catholics around would go to that bar, any local loyalist would have known Protestants frequented it.
Interestingly another Catholic owned bar up the road ''The Wayside Halt'' was attacked around the time of the Workers Strike for apparently staying open by the UDA.The owner and a relative were killed.  <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:DColt|DColt]] ([[User talk:DColt|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/DColt|contribs]]) 17:43, 17 October 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

With Obama & Biden being reelected, they're close accomplishing ''3'' firsts. <br>

#Already, Gore & Cheney are the first consecutive US Vice Presidents to serve 'two full terms'. If Biden completes his second term? that'll make it ''3'' consecutive US Vice President to do so.
#If the above sceneros play out?  Clinton/Gore, Bush/Cheney & Obama/Biden will thus be the first ''3'' consecutive 'two full terms' President/Vice President teams. Note that Clinton/Gore & Bush/Cheney are the first consecutive 'two full terms' President/Vice President teams. <br>

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

== [[Anne Ogilby killing]] ==

Hi. Thanks for the grammatical and other corrections, and for improving the article. I rv "Protestant" from Sandy Row as I though that the references to it as a loyalist area indicated that automatically, just to explain. Also, I don't quite think Henrietta Cowan and Christine Smith are quite as notable as [[Lee Harvey Oswald]] as you indicated facetiously in one of the edit summaries. I don't mean to irritate. I know you put a lot of work into the article and I was just trying to help in my own way. Yours, [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 20:43, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

:Fair enough QS. The reason I put Protestant in re Sandy Row is for those readers who don't automatically know that loyalist means Protestant. Obviously you and I wouldn't need this clarification, however, there are those who require it. As far as  including the middle names  of the the killers Cowan and Smith, I see you've got a point. I'll remove them now. Thank you for your message and help! I didn't remove all your improvements, by the way. There was  actually no need for Tim Pat Coogan's POV statement as it was unclear what he meant by  Christine Smith coming from a "low stratum of society". If he was referring to the area than that would be highly prejudicial and if he meant morally, well that could be also said of Gerry Adams considering the family allegations. Yes, QS you were right to remove that statement. Cheers.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 07:22, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

:: I know you didn't remove everything, Jeanne. You are far too good an editor to use such  broad strokes. BTW: Coogan, IMO, is an increasingly triumphalistic republican apologist and polemicist, based on his own writings, particularly his piece in the ''Irish Voice'' (NYC) on the 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising. Ta. [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 23:04, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
:::I believe that would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater LOL. Sadly I once had to do that when an editor made so many changes (some good, some not so good) that I had to revert   his work otherwise it would have taken me hours even days to fix the article. Tim Pat Coogan is pretty much depricated as a historian and is viewed by academia as an IRA apologist so his opinions should really not be considered reliable. Thanks for removing the Coogan statement.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 08:27, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
:::: Obviously, in re Coogan, that is accurate. It would be great to update Coogan's article accordingly, but given strong community interest in [[The Troubles]] and my own need to keep a distance, which I genuinely try to do, usually successfully, I can't. If you get the chance, obviously valid reflinks and careful wording will be necessary, but I guarantee that there are those who will always (ostensibly at least) take offense as they increasingly venerate Coogan. [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 18:28, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
::::: P.S. -- this is what Coogan wrote on the above-referenced 90th anniversary of the Easter Rising. Talk about [[irredentism]]. I got it from [http://www.irishvoice.com this website] but  I doubt it's there any longer. It was an excerpt from the 4/12/2006-4/18/2006 ''New York Irish Voice'' (page 11) entitled "The Lessons of 1916":[[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 01:59, 5 December 2012 (UTC)<blockquote>''Questions like [sic] should 1916 be commemorated? Should there be a military parade? These questions are in reality irritating diversionary tactics utilized by those whose real mental posture is the colonial cringe and whose political philosophy is crypto unionism.''<br><br>''The basic importance of 1916 is that it formed a substantive, motivating role in the securing of independence, one of the three  great turning points of Ireland in the 20th century ... [w]ithout the foregoing the Republic today would be on the same handout level as the six counties, and to a lesser degree Scotland and Wales.''<br><br></blockquote>

:::::: In your opinion is this quote worthy of being included in Coogan's article? He really shouldn't be allowed to get away with the illusion that he is in the mainstream or a historian, per se, rather than a republican cheerleader and propagandist. [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 01:56, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
::::::: No, it should not be included nor should he be described as a historian but rather a writer who possesses the drilled knowledge of  a distorted Irish history that is typically acquired in a Christian Brothers-run school.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 08:11, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

:::::::: Got it! 'nuff said, as they say. I think Coogan attended [[Belvedere College]], but our opinions coincide in all material respects. Special thanks for the advice re the excerpt quote. Now I can move on. Yours, as always. [[User:Rms125a@hotmail.com|<span style="color:orange;">'''''Quis separabit?'''''</span>]] 21:07, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Isabel Bigod]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Genealogy-cruft, nothing notable about the woman herself.'''

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Isabel Bigod|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:PatGallacher|PatGallacher]] ([[User talk:PatGallacher|talk]]) 21:04, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I removed the information from [[Robin Jackson]] as it does not qualify for inclusion per [[WP:EXCEPTIONAL]]. WP policy is quite clear on this:

<blockquote>In general, any tabloid newspaper, television show, or site, such as The Sun, The Daily Mirror, The Register, and so on, should not be used when a more respected, mainstream source exists.</blockquote>

Jeanne, do yourself a favour and get an account on Flickr or DeviantArt (for my part, I recommend the latter) to keep your pictures on.

::Touched a nerve there I see. Who was it who said "''verbal violence is the first response of the true coward''"?! {{wink}} On a serious note, since the '''facts''' I added are sourced to [[WP:RS|respectable newspapers]], they are not libellous. Secondly, the article as you wrote it was totally POV (e.g, "''is not biased''" and "''Its aims are''"- as you know, it is not our role to make a value-judgement on their aims etc, but to report how they and others are saying it). Thirdly, your only so-called source ("The Irish News") was, I suggest, a hoax (AKA, bull), as a search of their site does not bring up anything for either the organisation's title or its founder; even if it did, you failed to link it or even provide an inline citation. Lastly, there is a certain irony which does ''not'' escape me that by going to the trouble of referencing and tidying the article, I may have (unfortunately) saved it from deletion. So I will accept your thanks for that, of course. It's Saurday night here- I'm rather busy- but will attend to your POV reverts on Billy Wright's page tomorrow. Nothing personal.

Whilst Wikipedia accepts a vast range of media, you are urged to consider if you really do want this image to be present on a public site, where it could be used for many purposes over which you, or  the subjects of the photo  may have little control.

== Operation Banner ==

Hi Jeanne.  I looked at the [[Operation Banner]] article after seeing your comments on the talk page.  The UDR was grossly misrepresented in this article and I believe far too much has been made of the 1973 "Subversion in the UDR" report to create POV against the UDR.  In fact the entire page is full of POV against the British Government and isn't, in my opinion, a good article on the operation.  I have deleted the worst of the POV from the "Collusion" section but I don't have time to take this (and 100 other articles like it) under my wing at the moment.  If you have then I for one would welcome your input.  There is some information on Ulsterisation on the main article for the [[Ulster Defence Regiment]] but I would be wary of putting too much info in.  Operation Banner was a huge mission and no one article on the wiki can do more than give a brief overview and that's how I would approach it - as an overview, without going into too much depth on any subject but linking out to the vast amounts of info contained elsewhere on Wikipedia.

I'd be interested in your comments regarding the comments I left at [[Talk:Billy_Hanna#Hanna.27s_military_links]].  It is an issue you were seeking information on at an earlier time. [[User:SonofSetanta|SonofSetanta]] ([[User talk:SonofSetanta|talk]]) 11:51, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

:Noted your further comments on the page.  I can't answer there because I'm on a topic ban at the moment.  I think you need to make that "Self appointed brigadier" on the infobox because the implications of having the rank of brigadier give him a respectability he never had.  We have to consider that people who don't know anything about military ranks will be reading this and they could go away with the impression that, "Hey, this guy was a brigadier - that's something special".  In the real world a brigadier commands three battalions at least in one formation.  The UDR with between 7,000 and 9,000 men and women was commanded by a brigadier.  Do we want people who read these articles to get the impression that self appointed brigadiers have the same capabilities as the real deal?  I'm from the area where Hanna claimed to a be a brigadier and from memory his gang comprised of no more than 50 people, maybe less. [[User:SonofSetanta|SonofSetanta]] ([[User talk:SonofSetanta|talk]]) 12:31, 1 September 2013 (UTC)
::Fair enough. I would suggest that Gusty Spence elevated him to the rank of brigadier during his spell of freedom in 1972.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 12:33, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

 {{you've got mail}}

:::Yes, Spence was doing the same.  Trying to claim respectability with assumed military rank.  I think it's just a question of: "Hey you can be a brigadier" though - like boys playing soldiers.    I noted something wrong on Spence's article just now when I glimpsed at it.  The sentence "Spence rose to the rank of military police sergeant" is wrong.  It should be, "Spence attained the rank of sergeant and was appointed "Provost Sergeant" for his battalion."  Or something similar if you don't like my grammar.   Again by referring to him as a "military police sergeant" infers something totally different.  Each battalion or regiment in the British Army has what is called a "Provost" or "Regimental Police" department.  They are on duty during the day only and are responsible for discipline etc and for looking after the regimental prison cells and the prisoners in them.  Something like the Campus Police you see in US universities.  They're not police and have no police training.   If you look at [[Provost Sergeant]] it'll probably explain it better than I can.

== Miami Showband ==

I note your comments on the Miami Showband regarding my edits.   It would ill behoove any civilised person to take issue with the horrors of this particular atrocity and as I was directly affected by it you would be wrong to think I had any issues with the truth.  May I suggest you look at what I've actually said and try to tighten the article up.  The text I removed was surplus to requirement.  It would look good in a book on the subject but Wikipedia isn't a book.  Sentimentality certainly doesn't belong here.  [[User:SonofSetanta|SonofSetanta]] ([[User talk:SonofSetanta|talk]]) 11:44, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

:From Asarlaí's page - No I didn't read the peer reviews.  I went entirely by my own judgement.  It felt like I was reading a book which is why I removed so much of the material.  [[WP:MOS]] encourages us to stick to facts and not to delve too deeply into ancillary detail.  The article is certainly noteworthy and deserves GA status but I don't think it would attain A Class in its present format.  It might be worthwhile putting it forward for A Class however to get comments for improvement.  I think it's obvious that third party comment would carry more weight with you and others passionate about the subject than mine do. [[User:SonofSetanta|SonofSetanta]] ([[User talk:SonofSetanta|talk]]) 12:52, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

::This isn't a case of removing text because "I don't like it" as you said at Asarlaí's page.  It's more to do with applying the education of a graduate along with [[WP:MOS]].  When I say "I don't like it" it's because the text doesn't fit with [[WP:MOS]] and reads badly.  The article looks as if it's being turned into a shrine and that is very much against Wikipedia policy. Also, do you not think it polite that, if you have something to say you say it directly: especially when I am so evidently in contact with you.  It's rather rude to make asides like that.

==Disambiguation link notification for March 21==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Hillcrest Bar bombing]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Labour Party]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Hillcrest_Bar_bombing|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Hillcrest_Bar_bombing|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== McGurk's Bar bombing / Balmoral Furniture Company bombing ==

Hello,
Can you please provide a rational for your decision to revert the edit I made to the [[1971 Balmoral Furniture Company bombing]] article? As the article itself states, this attack was carried out as an attempted 'retaliation' for the [[McGurk's Bar bombing]] a week earlier, so how can it be that this bombing ''sparked'' a series of tit-for-tat bombings and shootings?

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The L.A. Wikipedia community has two exciting events coming up in the next few weeks: an edit-a-thon sponsored by the online magazine East of Borneo, and the fourth annual Los Angeles Wiknic!

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting_4|East of Borneo event]]''' is an [[:Outreach:Edit-a-thon|edit-a-thon]] that aims to build a better history of art in Southern California. This next chapter of their [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB|Unforgetting L.A.]] series will take place on Saturday, June 21, 2014 from 12pm to 5pm at 356 S. Mission Rd. ([http://goo.gl/maps/eqvy3 map]).

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/4thWiknic|Wiknic]]''' is a part of the nationwide [[Wikipedia:Wiknic|Great American Wiknic]].  We'll be grilling, getting to know each other better, and building the L.A. Wikipedia community!  The event is tentatively planned for [[Pan-Pacific Park]] ([https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=202916320350074257672.0004c2268fd853df455b5&msa=0&ll=34.073596,-118.355504&spn=0.001926,0.002508 map]) and will be held on Sunday, July 6, 2014 from 9:30am to 4pm or so.

Not sure if you're still looking to do an article about the bombing but if you are let me know as I have a picture of a commemorative plaque that was recently put on the side that could be added. If you're off the idea however I'll not upload it as it wouldn't have any other real use on here. [[User:Keresaspa|Keresaspa]] ([[User talk:Keresaspa|talk]]) 00:40, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

::It got a few mentions recently because of the anniversary (which was why the plaque went up) but yeah, not a lot to build an article around really. Just thought I'd check in case you had some stuff. Me, I'm OK. Not been on as much recently due to the World Cup though as it's taking most of my time up.

'''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women]]''' is a new monthly series of informal Wikipedia editing sessions for Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists.

Please [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|RSVP here]] if you plan to attend.

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Riverside/WLL/2014|UC Riverside Wikipedia Loves Libraries event]]''' is an edit-a-thon targeting articles related to UC Riverside, SoCal, and beyond.

== What Are You Talking About? ==
I edited the 1970s and 1980s fashion pages because they were stereotypical and inaccurate. There were barely any sources for the content and most of it is just fads. I only include the major trends, and I search the world over for sources that are actually reliable and make sense. You have no idea how long it takes me to find these sources, and I don't appreciate you throwing insults at me to make you feel better.

Pictures aren't enough, because you could post a picture of someone wearing bell bottoms in 1985 and say "bell bottoms were popular in 1985". You say you wanted to fix the Wikipedia due to it's inaccuracy, well so do I, and that's what I'm actually doing. You can't just ignore these pages for a long time and come back to them and take over like a tyrant. There is no way 1980s fashion changed that fast, just look at wikimedia commons pictures of 1980s fashion.

I rearranged the pages to men and women in the '70s and '80s fashion pages. I found the '90s, '00s, and '10s fashion pages like that, and it makes it much more organized. Going "early 80s" and "mid-late 80s" is way too unorganized. I am going to undo your edit on 1980s fashion because you completely lack any sources, and they are entirely based on stereotypes, which I do not like. I may be a beginner compared to you, but don't belittle me just because I do things you don't agree with, because you were a beginner here too.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The LA Wikipedia community has three events in mid-February -- please consider attending!

First, we have a Valentine's Day edit-a-thon appropriately named '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Redondo Loves Wikipedia|Redondo Loves Wikipedia]]''', which will take place at the Redondo Beach Public Library from 10am to 1pm on Saturday, February 14.  Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach!

Second, we have a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women editing session]]''' on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown.  This series of informal get-togethers is designed to encourage Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome!) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists.

Third, we have an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting 8|Unforgetting LA]]''' event put on by East of Borneo in collaboration with the [[Getty Research Institute]].  Come help improve Wikipedia's coverage of LA design and architecture, and have an awesome free day at the museum -- parking will be validated for edit-a-thon participants! If you'd like to use particular books from GRI's great collection, be sure to email before 2/13 (instructions at event page).

== Wesley Somerville's headstone ==

I have managed to get an image of his headstone but I have been informed it may not qualify for non free fair use.My rational is that due to the recent death of his brother the headstone in its current form won't exist anymore and the graveyard itself is located within the grounds of a church and seems to be quite private and sealed off.Could we argue this is an historic photograph and would you experience in this sort of dispute?Thanks [[User:DColt|DColt]] ([[User talk:DColt|talk]]) 09:33, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

== Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau ==

Hi there! In <span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Virginie_Am%C3%A9lie_Avegno_Gautreau&curid=3329278&diff=650927497&oldid=644983376 this edit]</span> you state that not [[Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau]]'s mother Marie Virginie de Ternant was a descendant of French nobility, as the article stated before your edit, but rather her grandmother Catherine Genois was. Neither statement has a source, and I'm not familiar enough with the subject to know which is correct. But seeing you used "ce" as an edit summary, I was wondering if this change of content indeed was the edit you wanted to make.

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The LA Wikipedia community has two events in this second half of March -- please consider attending!

First, there is a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/2015 ASECS|memorial edit-a-thon]]''' in honor of the prolific LA Wikipedian [[Adrianne Wadewitz]], which is being held downtown on March 18 (tomorrow!) from noon to 8pm as a part of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies' annual conference.  Please drop by to contribute your own work or teach other users how to write for Wikipedia.

Second, there will be an '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Redondo Loves Wikipedia|event at the Redondo Beach Public Library]]''' (following up on last month's session), in collaboration with the Redondo Beach Historical Society.  Please join us from 10am to noon on Saturday, March 28 at the main branch of the Redondo Beach Public Library!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited [[Murder of Anne Ogilby]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Bloody Friday]]. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

==Anne Ogilby==
Excellent work on that one recently. Just thought I'd explain my last edit so as it didn't seem like a criticism. It's [[WP:SPS]] and you just know that if somebody with an axe to grind comes along wanting to impose their version of events the first thing they would do again  be make a song and dance about the main contributor linking her own article. It's impeccably sourced as it is and those with an interest will find your article quickly enough but if you include it you're leaving yourself open to the next "expert" who shows up to wreak havoc. [[User:Keresaspa|Keresaspa]] ([[User talk:Keresaspa|talk]]) 02:52, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
: I came upon loads of info which I added to the page then decided to polish it up a bit, tie up some loose threads. I also thought a bit of social background was needed to provide context for what took place what with the shebeens and gangsterism of the women's UDA. You're right about linking my own article as somebody is likely to come along and start griping and wrecking havoc. Thanks for pointing this out, Keresaspa. I hope you don't think I was too presumptuous in linking my own article.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 07:57, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

I visited Umgall cemetery today and found her grave.I have uploaded the picture of it.Be advised though, I only did so because of the amount of hard work you have put in on the Anne Ogilvy article.Given the previous spat over the Wesley Somerville grave, I swore never to upload images again due to the amount of crap and red tape from certain quartets.However I made an exception for how great the Anne Ogilby page is now thanks to you.You may be surprised to know as per the grave she was 32 when she was killed.[[User:DColt|DColt]] ([[User talk:DColt|talk]]) 14:26, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
::Thank you ever so much. I really appreciate it.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 19:14, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

==Sammy Murphy==
I've checked my copy of Cusack and McDonald and I'm not sure we can really infer that he was South Belfast Brigadier from their mention of him. Page 31, as you reference, states "The South Belfast UDA commander, Sammy Murphy, drew his men up in Horn Drive and refused to let the Catholics in" but for me that isn't enough. It states commander rather than brigadier and the way it is phrased it could equally mean "the UDA commander who happened to be from South Belfast" as it could "the man who commanded the UDA in South Belfast". The only other references to his rank I can find are in Bruce's ''Red Hand'' and Robert Fisk's ''The Point of No Return'', both of which call him a commander and only mention him in relation to Lenadoon (suggesting an on the ground command role at a specific event, something that strikes me as a little beneath a brigadier). Apart from anything the Lenadoon stand-ff was in 72 and McMichael was well established as a big dog by then. 

I'll leave it up to you as you can make a case from McDonald & Cusack but it does look  a bit shaky to me. I would have mentioned this sooner but I've been offline a while. [[User:Keresaspa|Keresaspa]] ([[User talk:Keresaspa|talk]]) 19:25, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
:Got an idea. In the box at the bottom I'll put it in brackets that Murphy was only a commander. How's that? It appears he wasn't a brigadier in the real UDA sense but rather ran the Sourh Belfast UDA from his Sandy Row base.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 12:57, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
: What do you think about my changes to the McMihael page? I believe the South Belfast UDA was not even a brigade at that time.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 13:05, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
::Again apologies for the delay in reply but I haven't had a minute these last few weeks. I imagine it probably wasn't a brigade as the formal structure seemed to solidify only once Tyrie had been in for a while. It's possible (but again, this is just supposition on my part) that at some point in the very early 70s McMichael was heading a "defence association" in Lisburn and Hughes had one based in Sandy Row and the Donegall Road that were separate and only merged with the formation of the South Belfast Brigade (who knows, maybe other bits in the Upper Ormeau and Taughmonagh that were themselves separate). Obviously we know about the WDA and SDA but I've come across (as I'm sure you have too) tantalising mentions of other set-ups that aren't elaborated on. For instance when I was researching Sammy Duddy's article back in the day I remember finding something mentioning him as an early member of a "Westland Defence Association" and to this day I'm not sure if it was just a misnaming of the Woodvale mob by whoever the author of the source was (can't recall where I read it unfortunately) or if the Westland estate off the Cavehill Road had its own independent set-up.

::To be honest I've yet to find a source which definitively states when any of the brigades were formally constituted and when McDonald & Cusack are covering the Harding Smith-Herron business they as much as suggest that they were battalions of an untitled Belfast-wide structure along similar lines to the IRA and UVF Belfast Brigades. How Barr's lot up in the North-West fitted in to that structure isn't mentioned, although I suspect they don't even know that, whilst even our article hints at a later date for the SEA brigade. With all this in mind the idea that the South Belfast Brigade might not have existed as a formal structure in 1972 seems highly plausible. My gut feeling is that McMichael was the first leader of a formalised South Belfast Brigade but alas my gut wasn't a WP:RS last time I checked so the compromise edit you've made seems the best bet. [[User:Keresaspa|Keresaspa]] ([[User talk:Keresaspa|talk]]) 19:40, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
:::Your analysis is spot on. Going by various sources as well as contemporary reports of the early to mid-70s period I suggest that the South Belfast UDA was not the extensively-controlled brigade it became under McMichael's tenure. It most likely just covered the Sandy Row, Donegall Pass, Village, Shaftesbury Square, Dunmurray and Taughnamonagh areas. All these areas were run by local commanders. Sammy Murphy controlled Sandy Row, William Young (Ann Ogilby's imprisoned boyfriend) ran the Pass, Frankie "Hatchet" Smith (brother of the hideous UDA killer Christine Smith) led the Village. He was shot dead by the IRA after he murdered 15-year-old Catholic boy Peter Watterson under the orders of the South Belfast UDA meaning Murphy. John McMichael and Jackie McDonald seemed to have had command of Lisburn and Taughmonagh respectively. The reason that Sammy Murphy commanded South Belfast was on account that Sandy Row was the power base of the South Belfast UDA back then and as such would have had jurisdiction over the other areas. During the UWC strike he was regarded by the Army as a community bigwig and engaged in talks over the barricades. Robert Fisk mentions him often in his book on the strike which was published in 1975. Once McMichael took over the power base shifted from Sandy Row; you will note that those unruly UDA units were cleaned up in the wake of McMichael's taking over the enrire newly-expanded "brigade". Have you ever heard of a Jean Moore? She ran the women's UDA in the early 70s prior to Hester Dunn.--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 06:38, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
::::Moore's in my sandbox, although I don't think it was me who put her there (I had it open for articles needed for a while). She merits a couple of passing mentions in the main sources but nothing more. [[User:Keresaspa|Keresaspa]] ([[User talk:Keresaspa|talk]]) 01:27, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
::::::I agree. There just isn't enough info on her to merit an article. It's not even known whether she's alive or dead!--[[User:Jeanne boleyn|Jeanne Boleyn]] ([[User talk:Jeanne boleyn#top|talk]]) 09:31, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

I would like to personally invite you to the March edition of the [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women meetup]], which will take place on March 15, from 6-10 in the evening. It will occur at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive, 2245 E Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, California 90021 (downtown LA -- [https://goo.gl/maps/7NQBg map]). The building has a pink top with old signage for American Accessories, Inc. dba Princess Accessories ([http://www.lacarchive.com/images.pdf Photos] <small>[PDF]</small>). There is on-site parking in the back, which also has an entrance. If you cannot attend in person, you are more than willing to work remotely, as we appreciate all help that you can provide. Finally, [https://www.facebook.com/events/758449097623273/ here is a link] to the Facebook event, in case you want to invite friends, as we are always looking for new editors to help expand coverage of women on Wikipedia!

==File source problem with File:Jacqueline de Longwy.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:Jacqueline de Longwy.jpg]]'''. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Jacqueline de Longwy.jpg|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

Please refer to the '''[[WP:IUP#Adding images|image use policy]]''' to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Jeanne_boleyn}} list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Di-no source-notice -->

* Hi {{ping|Jeanne boleyn|p=}}, how would you like us to handle these uploads? A number of them do have copyright issues (passersby who take photos as a favor do technically retain the copyright) but you obviously wanted to share these images and it's important that you be comfortable with the compromise. Being as we generally keep userspace image galleries to a handful or fewer personal photos, are there certain photos that you would prefer to see preserved? And do we have the express permission of those photographers? <span style="background:#F0F0FF; padding:3px 9px 4px">[[User talk:Czar|<span style='font:bold small-caps 1.2em Avenir;color:#B048B5'>czar</span>]]</span> 15:57, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
**Hi Jeanne. I've deleted the files that were under discussion at the FfDs given your recent comment relating to their authorship. To explain further, the copyright of an image lies with whoever takes the photographs, not with the subject of the photograph or the person whose camera takes them. I'd be happy to undelete individual files if you can identify the photographer and follow the steps at [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]] to receive permission to use their image on Wikipedia. The gist of that page is that the photographer must make the photograph available under a free license. The easiest way to do this is to ask them to release the picture into the public domain. Commercial photographers would never do this, but someone who just snapped a family photo isn't likely to care about releasing them. Be certain that the photographer understands that this means their photograph can be used ''anywhere'' on the internet (or outside the internet) with no limitations, and then forward your email correspondence (or written correspondence) regarding the permission to the emails listed on that page. I know this is all a tad tedious, but it's necessary due to legal requirements of the WMF. If the project didn't require that all uploaded files have certain copyright statuses, we wouldn't last long in today's world. Sorry for the inconvenience. ~ [[User:BU Rob13|<b>Rob</b><small><sub>13</sub></small>]]<sup style="margin-left:-1.0ex;">[[User talk:BU Rob13|Talk]]</sup> 03:47, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] ==

Hi, at [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]] we're striving to bring about 10,000 article improvements and creations for the UK and Ireland and inspire others to create more content. In order to achieve this we need diversity of content, in all parts of the UK and Ireland on all topics. Eventually a regional contest will be held for all parts of the British Isles, like they were for Wales and the Wedt Country. We currently have just over 1900 articles and need contributors! If you think you'd be interested in collaborating on this and helping reach the target quicker, please sign up and begin listing your entries there as soon as possible!

==Europe 10,000 Challenge invite==
Hi. The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge]] has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland [[Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge]]. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like [[Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic)]]. For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon]], sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --[[User:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|<span style="font-family:Old English Text MT;">Ser Amantio di Nicolao</span>]]<sup>[[User_talk:Ser Amantio di Nicolao|''Che dicono a Signa?'']]</sup><sub>[[Special:Contributions/Ser Amantio di Nicolao|'''Lo dicono a Signa.''']]</sub> 09:11, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

== Long time no speak! ==

Hello Jeanne! It's been a while, how are you? I've decided to give Wikipedia another go!

==Disambiguation link notification for December 29==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[1908 Messina earthquake]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Romanesque]]<!-- ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/1908_Messina_earthquake check to confirm]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/1908_Messina_earthquake?client=notify fix with Dab solver])-->. Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

Dear Jeanne boleyn,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on [[Los Angeles]] to [[WP:Featured article|Featured article]] status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/LA to FA 2022|add your name here]]'''!

== Lady Joan Fitzgerald ==

Dear Jeanne boleyn. Thank you for having created and provided most of the present text of the article [[Lady Joan Fitzgerald]]. Thank you also again for having quite recently allowed me to change the citation style of this article. I see you are a venerable wikipedian, extremely experienced wih 88,168 edits, and a special interest in Irish history, whereas I have about a tenth of this experience, am a 2nd-language speaker, and new in Ireland. I hope you agree with at least the general trend of the edits that I have made on "your" article. I think it is you who added Joan's place of birth: [[Desmond Castle (Kinsale)]]; very nice and useful information. One of my aims is to improve the verifiability of the article. I hoped to come per chance across the place where you found the information about her birth place, but I have not. It might be in one of the sources you cited that I could not access (e.g. Kirwan), or can only be read in Google Books preview or snippet view. However, I find it a bit odd as birthplace of a noble Desmond FitzGerald. I have the impression that her parents lived most of the time at [[Askeaton]] Castle, or perhaps at [[Lismore Castle]]. Could you please direct me to where to find the needed citation? With many thanks and best regards, [[User:Johannes Schade|Johannes Schade]] ([[User talk:Johannes Schade|talk]]) 11:20, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
