(I have relocated these very precious kindnesses from others to the top of my talkpage, so they will never be lost or forgotten. I am very grateful for each one.)

A barnstar for you!
Your praises played by Moop Mama, more on my talk, or the Main page ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:20, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
P.S. Feel free to take over the 'Gerda's newsletter' idea. I'm going to re-focus on maybe starting a Kindness Campaign newsletter :)



Precious anniversary
miss you --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:58, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Fruits
 Ovinus has given you a bowl of peaches! This delicious fruit promotes WikiLove and has hopefully made your day juicier. Spread peachiness and WikiLove by giving someone else some peaches, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend, by adding {{subst:Peach}} to their talk page with a friendly message!

Was thinking of you and your work earlier, Jen. Thanks for everything and I hope you have a good day! I certainly will be... today is a dim light at the end of this year-long tunnel. Warmly, Ovinus (talk) 13:38, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

A superior barnstar for you!

 * This has touched me so deeply I almost cried. Thank you so, so very much. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Barnstar
Not the first you receive, but the first I ever hand out. Avilich (talk) 12:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Avilich Bless your heart! Thank you so much! This is very kind of you and I appreciate it. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:10, 24 June 2022 (UTC)

Referencing of Conversion to Christianity
The content now reads as a proper Wikipedia article as well. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * ActivelyDisinterested Bless you! Thank you!  I so deeply appreciate you and all your work. You are still the one I will reach out to when I have a problem, but you have taught me a lot, and this article was just too much to ask someone else to do for me. I would have enjoyed banging my head against a wall more, but hey, I followed your example and got it done. I put it up for peer review and others suggested adding back a theology section which I am beginning work on today. Thank you again. You are a great blessing.

Jürgen Moltmann
Jürgen Moltmann died, and I'm struggling with getting the article referenced. There's now a source in English, which is great, but it sometimes contradicts the article, and I don't know what's right. Example: his "chosen by Christ" was in Belgium according to our article, but in Scotland according to the CT article. Would you have time to help? -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:09, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Can't believe that Theology of Hope has no article, not even in German. Should we do that? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:38, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Of course I will help you in any way I can. I am in the middle of doing a source review on an FA candidate that is long and complicated right now. It is taking all my time and focus - not even getting anything else done on my own article - is it possible to wait till I finish that? If not, I will put that on hold and help you immediately. Do you need me to find sources? Jenhawk777 (talk) 15:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt Nevermind about the FA. I have spent a little time looking up Moltmann, but I am unsure what you are looking for exactly. I can't find either an article or a book titled "chosen by Christ". The Church in the Power of the Spirit: A Contribution to Messianic Ecclesiology is generally considered his greatest work, and he is thought of as one of the greatest theologians of the last century. 'Theology of Hope' was his first book. His work most certainly deserves an article. Just help me understand what you need, and I will do it today. Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I was a bit in a ruch going out, sorry. Two things: the quote "I was found by Christ" (not chosen) is about an episode mentioned in both the WP article and CT during his time as prisoner of war, but the former had it in Belgium, and the other in Scotland. I helped myself a bit already by placing the quote after all these. (Even Scotland was not the last.) While the referencing for him has to be within days, better one than two, the other, a future article about a book, has more time. How about this: I start about Hope, and you the other, and we help each other? - But for today and tomorrow: any help with inline citations is welcome. You may have better sources than I can find on the internet. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:25, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, check this out. In The Source of Life: The Holy Spirit and the Theology of Life he personally talks about being a prisoner of war from pages 1-10. The WP article has the details correct but does not actually say where conversion happened. I cannot see all these pages on preview, but I have put in a request at the Resource exchange for pages 1-10, because I am thinking that what you are looking for is somewhere in pages 8-10 which are not on preview. Hopefully that will produce what we need. It may be tonight, but I will get back to you as soon as I get something from them. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Gerda Arendt The nearest to the phrase you are looking for is on page 5. It was a process (as it is in reality for everyone) rather than a single event. On page 8  It's truly a marvelous book and a powerful testimony. No wonder even those who disagree with his theology are still moved by him and admire him. I hope this helps. I must return to my review now as I am holding things up there. Bless your efforts - and yourself my friend. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:14, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the research! - I was out all day, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sufficiently source the many other theological passages in the article that still need it, and cutting everything unsources would leave the article rather unbalanced. The precise source is from his own book, and some of the rigid variety of reviewers will complain, - although - which "independent source" would Know such personal things? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:54, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt It may be a kind of gray area, but it's published and imo, that qualifies it as a  secondary source. It's not a personal diary, a memoir, a family Bible or even a personal letter - all of which can be and have on occasion been used here. Check the other WP refs: Cezanne, Stephan (5 June 2024). "Zwischen Frömmigkeit und Revolution: Zum Tod des großen Jürgen Moltmann". Kirche und Leben; and   Conradie, E. M. (2012). Creation and Salvation: A companion on recent theological movements. Münster: LIT Verlag. ISBN 978-3-64-390137-8.; and Ryan, Robin (2011). God and the Mystery of Human Suffering (1st ed.) Paulist Press. p. 193. ISBN 978-0-8091-4713-7. I'm almost done with the FA review I've been doing. It's been a little long and complicated because I have gone through all of it. I'll be finished tonight. I will help. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:28, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * OK, then let's try ;) - WP:RD is strict about 7 days, he died 3 June, so we have a day left to work it out. I have church and company and cantata plans but will do what I can. He deserves it even if we don't succeed with a Main page appearance. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 05:23, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Update: someone nominated him already for WP:ITNN. At present, there's one "citation required", perhaps you can focus on that, about the theology of liberation. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:14, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Today's story is about a tune used by Bach and Mozart. - There are now more tags in Moltmann's article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:01, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There are nine at last count. I am working on it now. This Biographies of living persons says "Where primary-source material has been discussed by a reliable secondary source, it may be acceptable to rely on it ..." so I say we go with that. Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:29, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt I've done four so far, but I have to break for a bit now. I will be back. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:50, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * 3 left I think, but I'm tapped out for the day. Be back tomorrow to check on what's left. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:53, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I covered the three but now they ask to reference the other works. There's a bibliography in the external links, but it's marked as self-published. The 350+ in the German National Library seem too broad. Did you meet a list of books in English. We have Comradie, but he listed mostly other titles than those in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:28, 10 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I added everything I used to the works cited. Reference what "other works"? Jenhawk777 (talk) 07:42, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Do you mean the "Other works" section under the bibliography? What in heaven's name is needed there that isn't already there? Jenhawk777 (talk) 07:58, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, the latter. ISBN numbers would do, but better some academic list of works or bibliography. - I wanted to add the bibliography from Cameron Coombe, but it's hosted by Wordpress, which is blacklisted. I hoped you had met a different one. If not we could through the 35 pages of the German National Library but it had no English title on the first 2 of those pages ;) - I have the same problem with opera recordings. Printed books, published recordings: what references would they need? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There's a complete list of works here . A research bibliography is available on the archive . It's citable. Check out this one that has multiple links. And if you can access this one  it is probably citable. Are you saying the bibliography needs isbn numbers for every work? They aren't even all books! What the heck?! It's 3 in the morning. I'm going to bed. Whoever these people are, they are supremely aggravating! Jenhawk777 (talk) 08:17, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. The "complete" has way too few to be complete, and is hosted on the same problematic site as the Coombe one, bu that research library should do! Sleep well. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:37, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I got the notice it made it into the ITN. Well done Gerda. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:10, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ynd you as well, Jen! - Today I wanted to write a happy song story, on a friend's birthday, but instead we have the word of thunder on top of it, which would have been better on 2 June, this year's first Sunday after Trinity. "Zeit ohne Zeit" means "time without time", composed in 1724, to an even older text! The new lilypond - thanks to DanCherek - is quite impressive. As my 2 Jun story said: Bach was fired up. - Today's Main page is rich in music, also Franz Liszt and a conductor. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Bach is one of my favorites - perhaps because he so often seemed 'fired up'! I like that! I am so happy I was able to help and so very happy it was me that you asked. Take care! Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:02, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for all that!! - Today is "the day" for James Joyce, also for Bach's fourth chorale cantata (and why does it come before the third?) - the new pics have a mammal I had to look up. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:09, 16 June 2024 (UTC)
 * New pics of food and flowers come with the story of Noye's Fludde (premiered on 18 June), written by Brian Boulton. I nominated Éric Tappy because he died, and it needs support today! I nominated another women for GA in the Women in Green June run, - review welcome, and more noms planned. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:36, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Today is a feast day for which Bach composed a chorale cantata in 1724 (and we had a DYK about it in 2012). Can't believe that Jodie Devos had to die, - don't miss her video from the Opéra-Comique at the end, - story to come. The weekend brought plenty of music sung and listened to, and some of it is reflected in the last two stories! + pics of good food with good company --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

 * You know that saying about what great writers do? In this case, a rep of Lunenburg Art Gallery Society appeared on Commons, asking about uploading, because they wanted to make "a page". They also commented that they were angling for some funding, but that a requirement for them to get it was a WP-article about Bailly. Which of course meant they would have to deal with WP:PAID. After looking around a little on who Bailly was, I offered my help. I mean, this guy is what our dear pedia is for. All hail the WP-library! And archive.org, of course.

Question from Kapnonian (12:02, 13 July 2024)
Hello! I am a new editor hoping to join the ranks of great wikipedia editors. I am just wondering how you stay motivated to edit? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks --Kapnonian (talk) 12:02, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Welcome! I write on things that interest me. I enjoy research. I enjoy learning new things, and I simply like to write. I wanted to be a PhD and didn't finish, so I enjoy this opportunity to research, write and publish. I think about how many people are influenced by Wikipedia. I have a commitment to quality and neutrality and get offended by articles that are biased. I am in a bit of a downturn right now as a matter of fact, so maybe you can help re-inspire me!

Hello, how do you make fictional electoral maps as I am interested in doing that for alternate history. --OrionSSWikis (talk) 16:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has no provision for this that I know of. We write encyclopedia articles using published sources. That's it. Jenhawk777 (talk) 16:25, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Epic mycologist (04:48, 17 July 2024)
If i want to create an article about a newly discovered species, but there is no article about its genus or species, should i create articles for both?


 * Epic mycologist I apologize. I thought I answered this the other day and somehow it got lost instead. I'm unsure exactly what happened, but it probably has something to do with router problems I've been having. Fixed now I hope.


 * Anyway, you can do either or both as you see fit. What will determine what you choose will be the available secondary sources. Wikipedia tends to lag behind on the newest news because we can only write about topics that have sufficient quality secondary sources. It usually takes awhile for those to be published. So I am guessing a newly discovered species might not have sufficient coverage for a whole article of its own. Do the research and let that guide you. Remember, no blogs or personal opinions. Good luck. Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:06, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Light of Christ gospel center (05:50, 20 July 2024)
Hello please how do I publish an article --Light of Christ gospel center (talk) 05:50, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * I'll copypaste this I just wrote on my own talkpage:
 * Hello! Making an acceptable WP-article without knowing how to edit WP is hard. A common advice is to "just" edit for a while first, to try to get a hang of this place.
 * That said, your first hurdle is "Can a WP-article about your chosen subject be written at all?" Start with reading WP:BACKWARD. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:YFA. If your choice of topic fails WP:N, the article will not be accepted. If you decide to go ahead, you need to learn how to add references correctly, WP:TUTORIAL can help with that. This is crucial, and I can't stress that enough. If you intend to write about a living person, read WP:BLP. If you intend to write about yourself (WP:COI), the short advice is "don't."
 * As an example, when I start drafting an article, I begin something like this: . Get the sources in there, then re-read them, then start adding text, citing as you go along. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:46, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ukchauffeurforce (21:06, 20 July 2024)
hi i would like to add my companies profile on wikipedia --Ukchauffeurforce (talk) 21:07, 20 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Well, unless you can find a reason why your company qualifies as a notable topic, and unless you can find an adequate number of good quality secondary sources who have written about your company that you can reference - you can't. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a place for advertising. You need a blog or a podcast for that. Jenhawk777 (talk) 04:36, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
