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.

 * - 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.

WT:POLAND reply
Thanks for dropping us a line at Wikipedia_talk:POLAND. 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 23:00, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Interwiki and DEFAULTSORT

(... 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)

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)


 * 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".

Anyhoo, I've been working on a guide to help people reference articles. It's at 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)

 * 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)

Categories
I've created Category:Polish cabaret performers (it is the first nationality-based cabaret performers category :) ). Please try to add people-based categories to people articles (people should not be in categories such as cabaret of film, but film actors, cabaret performers and so on), for obvious reasons. Please try to add interwikis, deafultsort, proper categories, page assessment templates and such. We (I) really appreciate your contributions, and would love to help you if you have any questions. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 02:46, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I see your point. However, Category:Polish cabarets should be for cabarets (organizations). People should be in the people categories. If they are not performers, we have other cats for them: Category:Cabaret composers, for example. Many may be missing, be bold and create proper categories. We could also take a shortcut and create a more generic category, such as "People associated with cabaret", although I am not very fond of that method. Bottom line, cabarets are notable institutions (much more then buildings...) that should not be confused with people. People of cabaret should be a subcategory to the cabaret itself (just like, for example, we have categories for universities, and then categories for their faculty and alumni...). I hope this helps. PS. I wouldn't be surprised if you needed to create "Jewish cabaret performers" category to accompany my Polish one, too. In the end, category creation is part of Wikipedia creation (and information categorization), too. I hope you find it fun as well! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 03:18, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Interesting idea. You can propose the category for renaming by following the guide here. It may look a bit challenging but it is a good wiki experience, similar procedures are used in many other places in the project. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus 04:01, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

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)

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)
 * 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)


 * 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)

Couple of points
Hi Jane,


 * Apropos of Village_pump_(proposals), 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.

PamD (talk) 13:36, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * 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.

I was just looking for someone to put Titles on the different sections and to move the word order around if needed as I have a lot of articles which I need to check.

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)

 * 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

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 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)


 * 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)

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)

ArbCom elections are now open!
