Precious
You are recipient no. 2383 of Precious, a prize of QAI. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:48, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Wow, thank you ! I've never received anything like this before. It is very sweet! I feel that there's a lot to know about the Wikipedia editing community, and I know very little. Learning that there are people like you looking out for others is a good feeling! Jno.skinner (talk) 15:33, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you! The looking also gives a good feeling, and after I skipped a few days, I should really look right now! I only do what great others did before me, beginning in 2007 which was well before I even joined. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:36, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Nebraska State Capitol edits
About your recent reversions re: "Penis of the Plains" (sic), the purpose of my edits was not to censor the article due to offensive content (in spite of your claims to the contrary). The purpose was to remove non-notable trivia from the article, per WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Even if the content itself were not offensive, objectionable, or controversial, its removal would still be justified. It's not a censorship issue, it's a notability issue. Perhaps you could visit the Talk page to discuss the notability of the content in question. Greggens (talk) 21:31, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Owning the libs
Would you like take a shot at convincing the reverter on Owning the libs? I find it interesting that the editor claims it is misleading but never removes the wikilink to the term that supposedly is misleading. -- Pemilligan (talk) 00:01, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Adding Title IX Exemptions to University Article
Jno.skinner, I want to be sensitive in saying this- but is adding a line to university articles being exempt from Title IX really relevant to the article? I'm not sure if the list of https://www.campuspride.org/worstlist/ meets the criteria for a reliable source, nor do I think that application of a Title IX exemption meets factual notability requirements. If you have a substantive basis for it meeting notability/reliability I'd love to hear it. I would think generally, a listing on a LGBTQ advocacy group's website listing all universities who applied for Title IX exemptions isn't enough to justify adding it to the article. In circumstances that receive significant coverage or other public prominence, then I'd think it would have more merit. At the very least, adding lines about "made the worst list" has no substantive basis to be included in an article, but I'll discuss the idea of adding it as historical information.
 * Thanks for approaching me politely about this. Indeed, I have discussed this topic with a couple other editors and collectively we came to a similar conclusion as you, namely, that the Campus Pride "absolute worst" listing does not meet notability/reliability guidelines (unless perhaps the listing were covered by another source). So, I have removed it from many/most of the articles to which I previously added it, or found alternative sources in some cases. But I guess I missed Missouri Baptist University during my removals; thank you for addressing it. I do think there is a stronger case for the notability of Title IX status, though I would prefer a better source for that as well.  Jno.skinner (talk) 22:54, 27 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks and question
Thanks for your recent creation of Seeing Red Nebraska - I was planning on creating it sooner or later, so good to have a bit of work off my plate ;). I wanted to ask if you ever have the appetite to work toward good article status for your creations? I am very interested in Lincoln Legion of Lesbians (had some email correspondence re the Proseminar in Homophile Studies which pointed to that article, good job!), and wonder if you'd like to work together to bring it there? If not, no worries - it should be up to the major contributors of an article where it goes, so I won't touch it if you're not interested. Thanks, Urve (talk) 07:43, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you Urve! I don't know the process for bringing something to good article status, but I would like to. Yes, collaborating on it sounds fun! BTW, nice work on Proseminar in Homophile Studies; that article is an engaging read! Jno.skinner (talk) 15:59, 22 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Thank you and thank you. I'll be in touch. I can also show you the actual process for nominating something to GA once it's at that stage - it's a bit confusing, but with your content track record, I think much of your writing is worthy of that process, and it feels good to be recognized in that way. It's already been in DYK so sadly we can't do that after GA, but still worth the time. And BTW, if you have future projects you want eyes and hands on, I'm just a talk page message away. Nebraska is worthy of representation. Urve (talk) 02:43, 23 November 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello again Urve! I am in Lincoln (where I assume you are) for the next couple of months. Are you interested in meeting up and working on articles together? (If you are a Twitter user, you can find me at @jskilesskinner and send me a direct message.)

Proposed deletion of Seeing Red Nebraska


The article Seeing Red Nebraska has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Gets some mentions, but not enough in-depth coverage from reliable sources to pass WP:GNG."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:36, 4 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Sad. I read your piece in Seeing Red Nebraska. A well-written account of despicable policy and hatred. It's beautiful in the same way corpses smell sweet. Take care. Urve (talk) 11:54, 4 March 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Glass flute


A tag has been placed on Glass flute requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/180013281, https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/09/its-about-danged-time-lizzo-at-the-library/, and And other sentences and sentence parts left and right.. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Deletion discussion about Crisis of faith
Hello, Jno.skinner, and welcome to Wikipedia. I edit here too, under the username Arthistorian1977, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've started a discussion about whether an article that you created, Crisis of faith, should be deleted, as I am not sure that it is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia in its current form. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Crisis of faith (2nd nomination).

You might like to note that such discussions usually run for seven days and are not votes. And, our guide about effectively contributing to such discussions is worth a read. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And, don't forget to sign your reply with. Thanks!

Rilzy Adams moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Rilzy Adams, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, or a link to an official government source showing it is a legally recognized populated place. This article has zero. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
