About Myself
Hello, I'm Jeanne Boleyn. My real name is actually Jeanne, however most of my friends call me Jenny. (Yes, I do have friends, incredible as that may sound).

On 2 April 2008 I arrived as a user, due to my passionate love of history ( in particular the Middle Ages and Tudor England), and the desire to correct the many errors and omissions in Wikipedia. My first edit was to add a birthdate to the Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau (Madame X) article. My favourite personages from history are Anne Boleyn, Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, Margaret of Anjou, Mary, Queen of Scots, the Romanovs, the Sforza and Visconti families, Anne de Beaujeu of France, Richard III, King John of England, his consort Isabella of Angouleme, and the enigmatic, misunderstood "patsy" Lee Harvey Oswald. I am also interested in the recent, tragic period of Irish history commonly referred to as " the Troubles", as well as the Wars of the Roses, the Hundred Years War, the Crusader kingdoms and the Knights Templar. I have always been intrigued by the sinking of the RMS Titanic. Sensational crimes such as the Black Dahlia murder and Jack the Ripper killings interest me as do unsolved mysteries. I happen to be a Tarot reader as well as an astrologer, which is why I'm a stickler for exact birthdates.

Throughout my life, I've held an odd assortment of jobs which I'll thankfully not itemise here due to the fact that I've happily forgotten most of them! I currently reside in Italy although I am not Italian. I was born in Santa Monica, California (lucky me). I am the youngest child of four. I attended Venice High School in Los Angeles (ah...El Lay, land of the flashy, rich movie star). I am, however, mostly self-educated, hold no degrees, and did not attend university. (I do not regret the latter!) I have also lived in Ireland, England, Texas, two weeks in Florida, and now Italy. I have visited Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Canada, Mexico, and many American states.

My ancestry is Irish (both Southern and Northern), English, French, and German. In fact, a number of my maternal ancestors have their own articles on Wikipedia, including Adrienne Du Vivier, John Johns Trigg, Anne Bourchier, 7th Baroness Bourchier. My distant maternal cousin was Canadian hockey legend Bernie Geoffrion, also known as Boom Boom Geoffrion, and one of my direct ancestresses was a notorious La Baleine Bride. My zodiac sign is Cancer I have four children; a big, bad gold cat named Tony an affectionate, sprightly grey and white Aegean cat named Marilyn and another gold cat Ricky. I have dark green eyes, a dash of freckles across my nose, and am 5'8 tall (1.73). Currently my hair is long and dyed blue-black.

I have a penchant for black clothing, black footwear, and black nail varnish, and I own a rather large doll, photo, and book collection. My passions are disco dancing, reading, writing, photography, using the Internet, Tarot cards, studying astrology, genealogy, listening to music, watching films. I love discussions which can last far into the wee hours of the morning, travelling, and visiting ancient castles and places with a lot of atmosphere. I also enjoy going to car meets and watching Formula One on tv. I'm a fan of Michael Schumacher and Ferrari. Ironically, I do not drive a car myself. My favourite cities and towns are Venice (Italy), Taranto (Italy), Turin, Milan, Messina, Dublin, Belfast, Rome, London, Edinburgh, Tombstone (Arizona), and Taormina.

I'm a Monarchist, I believe in God and reincarnation, I am of the Anglican religion and I despise the current PC mentality as it restricts freedom of thought and smooth flow of speech. My social class is fluid, which basically means that I am intrinsically quite refined, and possess enough of the required social graces to mix easily in polite society, yet I am also street-wise, and if needs be, can find my way rather nicely around the gutter. I admit I have done so on occasion, but shall not delve further into that (Sorry but one must retain a bit of mystery, no?).

I'm also a long-standing Rolling Stones fan. Keith Richards is my personal hero, my male alter-ego, and in my opinion, the greatest rock guitarist of all time!!!

As far as Wikipedia articles are concerned, I am an inclusionist. Like Christmas presents under the tree, the more the merrier! As I'm just a wee bit opinionated (a trait I received from my Ulster forebears) I'm sure to annoy quite a few people. I shall now offer my apologies in advance. I do, however, strive to remain civil keeping only the merest trace of acid on my fingertips.

I'm a Medievalist, or to use the local lingo, a Wikimedievalist (One has to always keep abreast of the current slang to maintain one's cool, hip, with-it image).

You'll be hearing from me quite often. (Now this is an understatement, if there ever was one!!)

I prefer to use British English rather than American. I do not smoke nor do I possess any tattoos. This female also loves Vodka and Red Bull cocktails and Mexican food!!!

My nicknames include Jenny, Medusa, and Lucrezia Borgia. My pet hates also include housework, cooking, ironing, and all other kinds of boring, mundane crap that consumes my precious time on this Earth. I also hate conceit, rudeness, condescension, sarcastic people, and those who use profanity to flex their muscles in a pathetic attempt to intimidate others with their balls-out stance. The fact that I happen to use profanity to excess is neither here nor there. I cannot abide dress codes at the workplace or other stupid rules of that sort.

Don't like me? No? Oh well... c'est la vie (said with nonchalant neo-Templarian hauteur). Ciao for now!

The Three Silver Rules of Survival at Wikipedia
In addition to the three silver rules of survival, to edit successfully at Wikipedia, one needs the courage of Richard the Lion Heart, the hide of an elephant, the patience of St. Catherine tied to her wheel, plus a decent library certainly doesn't hurt.
 * Go with the flow, man, or else you get the sh.t kicked out of you. Just picture yourself standing in the first couple of rows at an Aerosmith concert in 1978 amidst a seething, churning, agitated mob of drunken humanity and you'll get the picture.
 * Keep cool Crazy boy/girl, keep it cool. Just like Ice in West Side Story. Cool.
 * Occasionally one has to eat Humble Pie. Now, this is not such a bad thing, especially when it comes in the form of Steve Marriott. Yummy or more-ish as they used to say when I lived in Brighton.

My Favourite Poem
What Do You Say What do you say? What do you say? What do you say? Say "hey" -John Bilsky, 1989





]



A personal message to those rock stars who think they're politicians
Hey, if you're going to sing, then sing, don't talk. You are paid to sing and/or play a musical instrument, not pontificate. We didn't hear The Big Bopper preach politics on stage before he sang Chantilly Lace, Mick Jagger didn't fire off a spitting tirade against President Richard Nixon; and we didn't have to suffer through Freddie and the Dreamers doing a Talleyrand routine when they performed I'm Telling You Now on the Ed Sullivan Show. You could have chosen to charm the bouncer into letting you through the front door into the rarified world of politics; instead you opted to enter by the back door, in the guise of a rock star, cherishing the hope that it would prove a launching pad on your rocket trip to power. You are, however, destined to be absolutely and utterly disappointed as you're never, ever going to be Tony Blair. Accept it, shut up, and get over it.

 * 3) "You're an uncultured Yank", by a registered editor, 2008

Things I support and oppose

 * 1) I support (with some reservations) candidate John McCain for President of the United States of America (Oh well, c'est la vie)
 * 2) I oppose the war in Iraq. (Make bombs not war).
 * 3) I support the prudent application of the death penalty
 * 4) I strongly oppose domestic violence, rape, and child abuse. (And if more people opposed these living nightmares they would not occur with such frequency!)
 * 5) I support women's rights and feminism
 * 6) I oppose the European Union and the Euro. Both should be immediately abolished
 * 7) I support gay rights
 * 8) I oppose terrorism
 * 9) I support animal rights
 * 10) I oppose military conscription
 * 11) I support the system of monarchy
 * 12) I oppose the findings of the Warren Commission into the assassination of John F. Kennedy and I firmly believe that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone, and was instead part of a larger conspiracy. (No, I will not state my opinion as to the identity of the conspirators although I do have my own theory)
 * 13) I support freedom of speech and expression
 * 14) I oppose male chauvinism
 * 15) I support the inclusion of astrology as a legitimate science
 * 16) I oppose Communism/Marxism/Bolshevism
 * 17) I support legalised prostitution

 * 19) I support free health care for everybody
 * 20) I oppose the burning of flags in public, and catcalling at stadiums during the playing of national anthems.
 * 21) I STRONGLY CONDEMN the terrorist attacks which are still going on at this moment in Bombay, and I offer my condolences to the families of the dead and injured.
 * 22) I STRONGLY OPPOSE the sentence of execution laid upon Tariq Aziz. Why does he have to die?
 * 23) I STRONGLY OPPOSE the lapidation of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani. We are living in the 21st century, not the Stone Age!! Her life must be spared!
 * 24) I ABSOLUTELY CONDEMN the Moscow Airport bombing and wish to extend my deepest sympathy to the families of the dead and injured.
 * 25) I TOTALLY AND VIGOROUSLY CONDEMN the barbaric slaughter of those magnificent tigers, lions and bears in Ohio. As usual, animals have to pay the price of human ignorance. Couldn't the morons have used a tranquiliser gun instead of destroying the beautiful, splendid creatures?
 * 26) I adamantly oppose the wanton demolition of all the priceless Victorian and Edwardian buildings in Belfast-one of my favourite cities of which I have so many pleasant memories. It was bad enough the planners wiped out Sailortown, Pound Loney and so much of Sandy Row, the Shankill and Falls. Do they have to obliterate the City Centre as well?!!!!

As regards Wikipedia

 * 1) Deletionists
 * 2) Hit-and-run editors who often make their appearance at a given article and can undo the work of months in a matter of minutes sans prior discussion or consensus
 * 3) Censorship
 * 4) The recent spate of files being deleted at Commons with no sign of slowing down. This bodes ill for the quality of Wikipedia articles. In the future, will landscape photographs have to be copyrighted to God?
 * 5) Pending changes on BLPs
 * 6) Rude, cocky, balls-out editors who adopt a "my way or the highway" approach to collaborative editing

Memorial
In loving memory of my cousin Jack Rorke, and his son Michael. May you both rest in peace and forget the ugly and undeserved cruelty that beastial mankind foisted upon you both in the decade when everybody should have been having fun.

My E-Mail and Twitter
Should anyone wish to contact me, they may do so here at my E-Mail address: jeannegriffin@hotmail.it I'll keep everything said to me in the strictest confidence, and while I do welcome frank comments, be they critical or otherwise, I shall only reply to those with Wikipedia user names, anonymous IP's or cranks will be ignored. I can also be reached at Twitter: @JeanneGriffin3

Parallel Time
My user page and related talk page are proof in themselves that parallel time does indeed exist and was not merely a figment of Dan Curtis's imagination. On my pages, in various co-existing dimensions, the inhabitants of Naxos, Sicily have not yet been massacred by the army of Dionysius of Syracuse; Jesus, Dismas, and Gestus are drinking to their mutual health from a cup of vinegar; the Magna Carta is waiting for the royal signature, thus King John of England is happily walling people up and plucking out eyes; Charles d'Albret is arrogantly placing the visored-helmet upon his head as he disdainfully surveys the bedraggled troops of Henry V fine-tuning their longbows before the Battle of Agincourt; Margaret of Anjou is carefully selecting the man who will father her legitimate son, Edward of Westminster ("Butler or Beaufort, who shall it be? Oh, decisions, decisions"); Leonardo Da Vinci is painting a nervous Cecilia Gallerani (Hope that fu..ing ermine doesn't pee on my new Roberto Cavalli dress!"); Queen Anne Boleyn has not yet lost her head; the Spanish Armada is still a resplendant forest of oak; Lee Harvey Oswald is selecting curtain rods at a hardware shop in Irving, Texas; Brian Jones plays sitar for the Rolling Stones as (Ed Sullivan frowns in consternation); Jim Morrison cycles along Pacific Avenue; and user Jeanne Boleyn is seated (under dreaming spires) on  Venice High School's  quad which is an Aunt Ruby's quilt of various shades of lush emerald green grass; her long flowing hair iridescent with sparkling rainbow-winks of glitter, long coltish legs in their wide flared jeans crossed Indian-style, is giving free astrology lessons, and discussing with Tom W., Eric M. and Patsy G. the merits of David Bowie's latest album.

 * Sarah777, for defending me against a trollish attack

 * Daaviiid, another medievalist is bound to find favour with me

A nightmare for Jeanne Boleyn
I awaken to discover that:
 * Henry VIII and his six wives, including Anne Boleyn, were a myth; they never existed (Scream!)
 * The Rolling Stones mimed all their live performances (Scream!)
 * Internet and Wikipedia have not been invented yet, my only sources of entertainment are crappy TV sit-coms (Scream!)
 * I switch on KMET (a little bit of heaven, 94.7), and the Peter Frampton song Show Me The Way is playing over and over and over......(Scream!)
 * I open my wardrobe only to discover that all I've got to wear are high-waisted, flared jeans, wrinkly, knee-length skirts, horrible striped jumpers, rust-coloured t-shirts, and platform espadrilles (Scream!)
 * I look into the mirror to find that my hair is its natural colour of dark brown and parted in the middle (Scream!)
 * I am still in high school, so I walk down to Venice Boulevard and I catch the #75 Rapid Transit District (RTD) bus to Venice High School where I am forced to fight off the amorous advances of surfer Chris Biggs (Scream!)

Welcome to my nightmare.

From Millbanks
Thanks for your kind message, dear Jeanne. Yes, I'm fine thanks and I hope you are too! Millbanks (talk) 11:39, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

You have a new message.
You have a new message from DASTEV (talk) 03:38, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm in with the In-Crowd
As of October 2010, I am in the top 400 of the most active Wikipedians. I want some action'', I got so much to give......

Ulster Defence Regiment linked articles
Hi Jeanne, I see you have resurrected an image for use in a few UDR based articles and you have used differing text to describe them. I hope you do not mind, but I have amended the text on them to reflect the content better. There is no indication of the date of the photograph so the long hair must indicate the fashion at the time. The UDR soldiers were civilians most of the time and had to live among the community they served. If they had had strict military short hair cuts, they would have stood out more thus endangering their personal safety. Gavin Lisburn (talk) 22:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
 * This link to the London Gazette (http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/all=441998;sort=newest/start=1) shows the inspecting officer was promoted to Lt Col in 1976 and from Lt Col in 1983 so this would age the image content between 76 & 83, a period when long hair was worn on men. Gavin Lisburn (talk) 22:59, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Coleraine bar attack
I noticed on Asarlaí's talk page that you intend to make a page on the 5th of June 1976 Coleraine bar attack, I commend your efforts and please notify me when it is created. Beannacht! Boundarylayer (talk) 00:16, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Newspaper Archives
Perhaps requesting the newspapers during that week in 1976 from the various publishers would turn up some more sources? I checked out the Irish Times archive http://www.irishtimes.com/archive/ but to no avail with the name 'Coleraine' http://www.irishtimes.com/search/library/index.html?rm=listresults&filter=dateasc&keywords=Coleraine&daterange=custom&day1=1&mon1=1&year1=1976&day2=25&mon2=11&year2=1977&start=130

But better results when searching for Bombing during that period, see 'Ten die at weekend' which might have a mention of the Coleraine attack. http://www.irishtimes.com/search/library/index.html?rm=listresults&filter=dateasc&keywords=Bombing&daterange=custom&day1=1&mon1=6&year1=1976&day2=25&mon2=11&year2=1976&start=30

I tried another Irish paper but unfortunately this is a paid for subscription to the paper archive. https://www.irishnewsarchive.com/sign_up1.php
