I successfully replaced my password and logged in
...at the Carroll Gardens branch of the Brooklyn Publc Library at the corner of Clinton Street and Union Street. It worked even though something like this didn't seem to work at Highlawn. I need to discover if there is some problem specific to Highlawn but at least I have and know a working password.

You're in the Washington Post
Hey there's a paragraph on you here in the Washington Post. Sooner or later we'll have a wikipage on you.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 11:37, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Your good work being recognized. Congrats Jim. Randy Kryn (talk) 13:37, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I dropped a note on your Commons talk page, but I'm happy to do so here as well - very nice, congratulations! You're definitely one of the good guys. Beyond My Ken (talk) 00:54, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Surprising development. The publicity mentioned above has attracted the attention of Angie Gonzalez of NY1 News. No, not the athlete on whom we have an article; the reporter who works the Queens beat on the news channel. I met her in Flushing today and talked into her camera and performed, biking past her for a video clip and snapping a landmark picture. She put me in touch with the guest booker for the channel's morning show. I might be on for a live interview, tomorrow morning. I await further word. What next, Rosanna Scotto (I've long been a fan) and Channel 5? Probably not. As for becoming Wikinotable myself, the idea engenders some unease, keeping in mind the many who have done much more to make WP great. Jim.henderson (talk) 21:45, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Cool. And a great way to improve the public perception of Wikipedia. Maybe you can float the Nobel Peace Prize idea, that Wikipedia should be nominated yearly and should win it within a few years. Long live landmarks. Randy Kryn (talk) 22:13, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Nope; not happening. The booking clerk E-mailed that there will be no interview. Hey, at least that means I won't have to get up in the morning. A story will use, however, footage from our Flushing meeting. Jim.henderson (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * So, yes, the story happened. Online I only find a still and a transcript. Probably the video is not online due to commercial policy. https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2019/01/17/meet-the-manhattan-man-who-s-a-professional-wikipedia-photographer--

Just saw you on NY1 !
Congrats! It was a great segment and you represented yourself and your work for Wikipedia very well! dm (talk) 16:55, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
 * BTW - what app were you using that shows articles without photos? dm (talk) 03:04, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Two different things, the Commons:Commons:Mobile app and the Website Wikishootme. Each is buggy. First, the mobile app often crashes. Second, to reach the Website you may have to delete the end of the URL to make it work. We could meet and discuss it. Actually, my brush with fame has made me think. Maybe for that reason I should call it a brush with danger. Anyway some of us NYC Wikiphotographers and Commons photo curators could meet and swap tips. Maybe end up with a club or committee of WMNYC or something. The next event of WMNYC is at Meetup/NYC/Fordham/DigitalHumanities which is an edit-athon a week from Friday for newbies but to me it also looks like an opportunity to meet for a little while, before or after. There will be others in February. Anybody else have an opinion or proposal? Jim.henderson (talk) 05:10, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Mr. Henderson,

I am contacting you regarding a photo of the Yankee Stadium area you had taken, which is available on Wikipedia at the following link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/161st_Street_(Bronx)#/media/File:161_IRT_GC_jeh.jpg

I would like to request additional photos you may have of the Yankee Stadium area, particularly photos taken around 161st Street. I 'll gladly compensate you for your services, if necessary. If you are interested in helping, please contact me at      (212) 238 - 3221. Thank you,

Photos at Hudson Yards
Some attention has gone to a claim of the real estate company in their Hudson Yards terms and conditions, to the right to use photos that are published in social media and show their "The Vessel" structure, whether as background or whatever. I have been asked for an opinion. Being on my way to an editathon in Brooklyn as part of the busy month of March, I must be hasty and haven't even looked at my photos of opening day Friday, but here's an instant reaction:

For one thing, I don't know whether WP and Commons count as "social media" but my guess is they do. I am displeased, if it means my works will be used commercially without credit, but it has happened before, so it's rather a mild displeasure. Perhaps there's a better forum to discuss this question, than my own WP user talk page. Jim.henderson (talk) 16:47, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Account security
Hi Jim.henderson, please can you confirm that you are not allowing other people to access your account, as appears to be the case with mit=3&type=&user=Jim.henderson&page= these log entries and these edits? As a friendly heads-up, we do often block accounts which appear to be compromised, and that maintaining account security is one of the requirements for access to the event coordinator flag. Cheers! stwalkerster (talk) 20:38, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Thank you kindly, User:Stwalkerster@undefined it indeed indicated a problem but it was all my fault. Coaching at an editathon at School of Visual Arts I misinstructed a newbie who fortunately did no major damage with her accidentally two accounts. Then, using my own account, I got clumsy trying to correct a minor resulting problem. No stolen account; merely a coach having a stupider afternoon than usual.

Armories in New Jersey
I'm not sure if we've ever interacted on Wikipedia, but your user name is familiar to me. You might be interested in the article about Newark architect Charles Alling Gifford, who designed 5 NJ armories, including Paterson's. The 1906 NJ Adjudant-General's report contains a wealth of information about those 5 armories. Best, == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 19:42, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I haven't often brought my bike to New Jersey this year. Just one ride through Bayonne last month, with pictures that I hope to upload in the coming week. The main reason I do architectural pictures is that it gives me an excuse for a bike ride, and especially an excuse to stop pedaling awhile. This activity has incidentally kindled a mild interest in architecture itself.
 * I ought to visit the Philadelphia Wikisalon some time this summer, and chat with the Philly Wikkans I met at Wikimedia North America. Jim.henderson (talk) 15:04, 19 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Philly's a pretty bike-friendly city. There's an 8-mile loop in Fairmount Park, up one side of the Schuylkill River and down the other. And the Valley Green section of the park follows the Wissahickon Creek. Best, == BoringHistoryGuy (talk) 17:37, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

Food: Weapon of Conquest
Please note that is considered to be an "all-inclusive" category — that means that even if a film is subcategorized in one or more "Canadian genre films" subcategories, it still has to be filed in the parent category anyway, because the parent category is expected to be a complete list of all Canadian films. All other countries' head "Nationality films" categories work the same way, so this isn't a special rule that's being applied to Canadian films in particular — it's a standard consensus of WikiProject Film that national film categories always work that way, because people don't always know a film's correct genre in advance of reading the article.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

== Today, most of the millions of kilometres of twisted pairs in the world are outdoor landlines, owned by telephone companies, used for voice service, and only handled or even seen by telephone workers. ==

You added the statement: Today, most of the millions of kilometres of twisted pairs in the world are outdoor landlines, owned by telephone companies, used for voice service, and only handled or even seen by telephone workers. to the Twisted-pair page in 2006. I am suspecting that withe amount of UTP networking cable now installed, much since 2006, that it might not be true.

Maria Mitchell "Politics" Subsection Heading
Hi Jim! My name is Belajane41; I'm one of the students who has been working to update the Maria Mitchell page this fall. Thank you for reading and editing the page! My partner on this project and I were talking about the new heading, and were wondering what your thoughts were on how to name the subsection currently titled "Politics". We retained the heading "Efforts" from the original version of the article because we felt that it encompassed Mitchell's wider interests from her religious background to her work with women's rights and education. To us, the term "Politics" seems like a closer fit but may still be a bit too narrow, as Mitchell's involvement in these issues seems to be more reflective of a participation in a social or ideological movement rather than a purely political one. Perhaps a term like "Activism" could show this perspective? We would love to hear your thoughts on this topic! Feel free to respond here or reach out to our talk page. Thanks again for your help and contribution!

All the best, Belajane41 (talk) 01:18, 6 December 2019 (UTC)


 * Glad to discuss, but this may become somewhat complex, better served by the Article Talk Page Talk:Maria Mitchell in case others are interested in the subject but not looking in my personal Talk Page. I'll copy your comment there, and we'll see. Jim.henderson (talk) 04:22, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
