Wikipedia Day 2018 video
Hi Jim - I finally have a weekend devoted to Wiki learning and writing and came upon my first difficulty. I couldn't find a link to the video recording of WikiDay 2018 where it should be somewhere on the event page Do you think it is there - I don't know how to do an exhaustive search Hannah Silverman (talk) 04:38, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I have been patiently waiting. They should be at but that's empty so far. As it happened I was dining with Wikipedians including  a few hours ago and the videos have been delayed getting there because Wikimedia Commons only allows a few rare video formats and they haven't been converted yet from ordinary format. However, most of the videos are at the Livestream site here. The one I shot, no, not yet, but that was for software writers anyway. Doing anything with video, I learned when I gave it a try, takes a lot of time. Would you like me to pedal downtown this weekend to a restaurant or library to meet? I need the exercise, having recently recovered from more than a month of illness. Especially fun if you can invite another new editor. Jim.henderson (talk) 05:05, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Oh, I forgot to ping to make sure you get a little red alert bell at the top of your page.

pictures on a non-published article
I tried to put a personally created picture (Cecile Chong wikipedia IMG_6329.jpg) on the sandbox material on this future article material which I am not submitting until better citations as we talked. it seems wiki commons wont let me do until there is an actual stub. Is that right?Nudgol (talk) 02:39, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Nice to hear from you again so soon, In all my years I never heard of such a restriction, but there's always a first time. Incidentally it's easier if you can link to the various things in question, though it was easy to see that what you are talking about is User:Nudgol/sandbox. A little investigation turned up File:Cecile Chong wikipediq IMG 6329.jpg. Oh, of course you don't know that odd little insider's trick of the two brackets and colon; silly forgetful me. Anyway with the Edit Source you can see the line at the top of this section which invokes that picture. You can paste that line into your sandbox; I'll let you do it rather than put it in myself. You should also look in your Commons watchlist to see what happens to the picture; sometimes they are deleted because of minor errors that could easily be corrected if only the author noticed the warning.
 * Incidentally tonight, Tuesday, I'll be dining with a few old friends at the Park Plaza Restaurant in Brooklyn Heights, convenient to Downtown Brooklyn subways, 7 PM in the back of the restaurant. We'll bring our laptops and cameras and discuss local history and putting pictures in Wikipedia, among other topics. You and others watching this page will be welcome; there's always a spare table in case we get an unexpected crowd. Good Wi-Fi and good food, too. Jim.henderson (talk) 13:42, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

accumulator
good day.

in this edit you added a beautiful photo of Walther calculator. however, the main visible feature is not the accumulator (which is partially shown at the lower right section), but the "rotor", a row of pinwheels that activate the accumulator. because it's such a beautiful machine, i'm replacing it with another photo from the same photographer, where the accumulator is a bit more prominent.

Event coordinator granted
After reviewing your request for the " eventcoordinator " permission, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things: If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the event coordinator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux  Talk 21:54, 14 May 2018 (UTC)
 * The event coordinator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
 * The event coordinator right allows you to temporarily add the " confirmed " permission to newly created accounts. You should not grant this for more than 10 days.
 * The event coordinator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the event coordinator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
 * Please note, if you were previously a member of the "account creator" group, your flag may have been converted to this new group.

New Page Patrol?
Hi Jim.henderson,

I've recently been looking for editors to invite to join New Page Patrol, and from your editing history, I think you would be a good candidate. Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; we could use some additional help from an experienced user like yourself. The flag might also come in handy with your event coordination activities.

Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. If you choose to apply, you can drop an application over at WP:PERM/NPR.

Cheers, and hope to see you around, —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  13:04, 16 June 2018 (UTC)


 * I am honored, but have already bitten off more than I can chew. More of my time and edits now go to pictures in Wikimedia Commons, another of the many corners of the Wiki-empire that need more attention from us experienced editors. I hope the recent ban on new articles without an account is a help. Jim.henderson (talk) 19:03, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes ACTRIAL has been an enormous help. If you are busy elsewhere that is totally fine, and uploading of images to commons is something that we also need more of, so thanks for that work! See you around and thanks for your work on Wikipedia. —  Insertcleverphrasehere (or here)  19:17, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

question about your edit
Hi there Jim, noticed you added a hyperlink to the word "space" in my article on Thaddeus Stanley Golas. Isn't that a word everyone already knows the meaning of? Does it help the reader to define "space"? I wouldn't have thought to do that. So my questions are: why do you think it is helpful and how did you even notice this obscure article?

Perhaps Jersey as a lightning talk.
I am unable to sign up on Everbrite. Have you registered there? Any advice?

Perhaps Jersey as lightning talk. No, no, not New Jersey, across the river, Jersey in the Duchy of Normandy.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 22:51, 29 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Got busy and later forgot about this. Sure, it sounds like a good topic and one of which I know almost nothing. I could do one about New Jersey but signed at the Lightning Talk section with wiki-photography instead. Maybe with NJ examples. Yesterday I also signed on the Volunteer page which was an external link. Don't remember; was that Everbrite? Whatever; it gave me no difficulty; just gave my E-mail and will be contacted. I assume my hand will heal by then and let me work as porter or whatever. Jim.henderson (talk) 16:49, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Carteret, New Jersey, a borough in Middlesex County, New Jersey, U.S.A., named after George Carteret
 * Carteret High School, a four-year comprehensive public high school, the lone secondary school in Carteret School District
 * Carteret School District, a comprehensive community public school district in Carteret, New Jersey
 * West Carteret, New Jersey, an unincorporated community located within Carteret, New Jersey
 * Yeshiva Gedola of Carteret, a Jewish institution based in Carteret, New Jersey
 * , a former commune, since 1964 part of Barneville-Carteret, Normandy, France
 * , a peninsula near Carteret, Normandy
 * , located on Cape Carteret, Normandy
 * Carteret County, North Carolina, named after either George Carteret or John Carteret, 2nd Earl Granville
 * Cape Carteret, North Carolina, a town within Carteret County
 * Carteret Community College, a community college within Carteret County
 * Carteret County Home, a historic poorhouse located at Beaufort, Carteret County, North Carolina
 * Carteret County News-Times, a newspaper based in Carteret County
 * Carteret County Public Schools, a PK–12 graded school district serving Carteret County
 * Carteret General Hospital, Morehead City, North Carolina

 * Carteret County, a former county in South Carolina 1684-1708; see List of former United States counties

 * Idle moment while the astronomy lecturer describes the horoscope he cast for New York in the January 21 lunar eclipse.
