Hey hey
Hi there, JHC. I know you from MWU, don't i? em zilch 07:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Jam session
Please don't add such statements without providing reliable sources for them. `'mikka 01:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

But I am an Arabic scholar. I know what I'm talking about. I'm going to publish my research and make a strong case. I'll show you. Johanna-Hypatia 02:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Besides, you're being inconsistent and unfair. You didn't bust the other etymologies which were equally unsourced, so why pick on me? For being an Arab woman? Johanna-Hypatia 02:46, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Dune
Hi, I've moved/altered/removed your recent Dune edits regarding the Arabic language; please see Talk:List of Dune terminology and Talk:Feyd-Rautha for the reasoning. I have no doubt that your translations are correct, and that Herbert may even have intended these meanings to apply, but it is a fictional universe and so we cannot make such assumptions without sources. This has been an ongoing issue with Dune articles because the Arabic influence in Herbert's work is well-known.

You note above that you are an Arabic scholar, so again, I (and the editor above) don't doubt the veracity of your Arabic knowledge. However, I encourage you to read about the exact nature of original research on Wikipedia. Thanks. TAnthony 23:50, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

That is crap
Noting the similarities between Herbert's terms and modern Arabic is not OR. What if an Arabic-English dictionary was cited?

Johanna-Hypatia, I encourage you to continue in the vein of your previous edits. Wachholder 07:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for this affirmation! I'd considered citing Hans Wehr's well-known Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic, which is what I used, of course. All serious students of Arabic in America use it. Johanna-Hypatia 02:51, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Sufi Saints of South Asia
Hello Johanna-Hypatia. I notice that you are interested in Sufism. I have put forth a request on the Reward Board for assistance in bringing the Sufi Saints of South Asia article to at least B-class. All meaningful contributors will get barnstars. The article is in dire need of being developed. It is an important article in relation to Islam in South Asia. Please help in developing the article.

Sari
Hi, i have arranged the languages in the lead scn in alphabetic order. I do not know about your background, but i get the feeling that you believe sari is a hindi word. The clothing is referred to as "sari" in many Indian languages. My intention was just to remove the undue stress on hindi - as i know many non-Indians have this prejudice and refers a word common to many Indian languages as a "word from Hindi". Rgs  Arjun  codename024 12:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)


 * The point is that the word sari entered English via Hindustani sāṛī. This etymology has long been established and is not in question. It's clear that the Malayalam word sari had to have been borrowed from Hindi too, because the consonant shift of Sanskrit ṭ to Hindi ṛ is specific to certain areas of modern Indo-Aryan, not a feature native to Malayalam. Note the substitution of the dental flap /r/ for the retroflex ṛ, because the latter sound does not exist in Malayalam, just as in English. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 04:52, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Women's History
WikiProject Women's History needs members' input on implementing auto-assessment. You'll find the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for your recent work on entries related to women's history. I'm glad you're participating in WikiProject Women's History. If you have any questions, concerns, or bright ideas about the project, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Since you've been active on Wikipedia for a long time, I'd be particularly interested in hearing your thoughts about how we might recruit more editors and get people excited about contributing.---Shane Landrum (cliotropic &#124; talk &#124; contribs) 00:30, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Members' input needed at WikiProject Women's History
Hello. I'm writing to you as your name is listed on the members page for WikiProject Women's History. In recent discussions at the project, most notably here, several members have indicated that the scope of the project may need to be more clearly defined and communicated. I have set up a workshop page for this, but it obviously needs as wide a participation as possible to achieve genuine consensus and to allow the project to move forward. You'll find the workshop here.

If you no longer consider yourself an active member of the project, it would help if you could indicate this on the members' page. This will allow us to better gauge how much people-power we actually have. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 04:41, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Women's History Project – Final call for comments on the Scope draft
Our workshop on revising and clarifying the scope of our project has produced a draft outlining our project's scope and criteria for article inclusion. Please join us at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History/Scope workshop to discuss this document. There's a separate section beneath it for final comments, which will remain open through Tuesday, June 14th. As Cynwolfe says "with good participation, we should be able to revise our project page soon, clearing up the issues we've been dealing with and preparing us to go on to the fun stuff."

My new project - WWC
Hi Johanna-Hypatia! I hope all is well. I wanted to stop by to share a new project with you that I am developing, called the WikiWomen's Collaborative. I would love your input about the project. Thank you for the consideration and I hope you'll participate in developing this exciting new project to bring more women to Wikipedia! SarahStierch (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
 * You can find the project page here.
 * On the talk page, you'll find a number of questions I'm seeking input on. I'm especially seeking thoughts about hosting the space off of Wikipedia (in the WordPress section). I hope you will join in on the conversation.
 * Finally, this project will be developed with volunteers from around the world who want to engage and support bringing new women to Wikipedia. If you think you'd like to be involved in some capacity, that'd be awesome. We're still working on developing roles, but, you can learn more about volunteer opportunities here.

Hi, thanks. I supported move.

Disambiguation link notification for August 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Humaithara, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Khalifah (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:06, 23 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, these nagging bots. I linked to that page on purpose, after reading it, because right at the top it gives the specific definition for the word khalifah in a Sufi context, which has no page of its own, and I thought this definition would be helpful for readers who weren't up on specialized Sufism terminology. Disambiguation pages are not always "merely" a list of did-you-mean article titles. Often, as in this one, they provide dictionary-like definitions that are not covered elsewhere.

Wrap dress image suggestion.
How about this image for Wrap dress? It is a DVF dress, and as far as I can tell, as a US Governmental image is absolutely fine to use/upload. I cropped the image to focus on the figures, which as far as I can tell, is perfectly allowed. Although small, you can see the wrap-over and overlap quite clearly.

More Arabic help
Hello Johanna - since you helped me on some Arabic translation stuff for this article a while back, I was wondering if you might be able to help me again! I'm nearly done with my on-again-off-again writing on Hissa Hilal, but I have two more (apparently RS-compliant) Arabic-language sources that might have useful content in them. Would you mind taking a look at this and this to see if they have anything good that's not in my draft? Thanks in advance –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 00:33, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

 Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best, James Hare

Wikipedia and YOUR History: Taking Control of the Internet
See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room. When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

For more information, see http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205500822/

Witches of Benevento
Hi Johanna-Hypatia, I did some minor copy editing. Trying to get this into shape so the DYK can sail through. I know we can blame the Italian Wikipedians, but there are whole sections without any in line citations. Tahit could turn into a problem at DYK. Somebody will start nattering about WP:OR, I am guessing. But maybe not. We definitely need solid citations to the hook fact. I have not undertaken a review of the article, but think that these issues are laying in the weeds, and should be addressed. BTW, I do like the article. Nicely done. 7&amp;6=thirteen (☎) 15:04, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Yes, I anticipated exactly what you said. With what I had on hand, I looked up a few references to start with, but with the awareness that I would have to go hunting for plenty more. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 15:08, 28 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I do apologize. But having been involved and watching DYK, I know the rules of the game, and we've got to work with what they require.  While it is possible (but not probable) that it could squeak through, it all depends on who (and when) the players are.  There is no way to control that.  So we have to assume and prepare for the worst and toughest, even as we hope and pray for the best.  <b style="color:#060">7&amp;6=thirteen</b> (<b style="color:#000">☎</b>) 18:53, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Witches of Benevento
Hello! Your submission of Witches of Benevento at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:49, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi!
Why did you add "sic" here?? Just curious. Quis separabit? 22:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Because of the misspelling in the cited article's title. "Sic" means that the error originated in the source that it came from, not from a Wikipedian. At first I tried to insert the sic tag immediately after the misspelled word, but that generated a red error message because the software doesn't like a wikilink embedded in the title in an externally linked citation. So I placed it at the nearest possible point. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 22:56, 6 December 2014 (UTC)


 * NO, I know what "sic" means, but I don't notice any misspelling(s). What was/is misspelled or mistranscribed? I mean this "sic" can't just stay there forever.
 * FYI: you can just use  [sic] .  Quis separabit?  15:26, 7 December 2014 (UTC)


 * "Breat" in the linked article title. One of the typos I've adopted for the Typo Team. Let me edit it better. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 15:33, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Persian Vowels
Hi, Johanna. Your change doesn't have a citation also. Where is your citation about ɒ?!!  <font color="Blue ">Diako «<font color="Red"> Talk » 18:26, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I have added a citation for it to the Persian phonology article. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 23:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you advise
Hi

I first encountered you in some connection with the ISIS page I think and having some similar interests had thought to say hi earlier. I was hoping that you might be able to advise whether the following is the best way to search on "Salafi jihadism". This relates to a discussion at: Talk:Salafi jihadism
 * "سلفية جهادية" "Salafist Jihadism" gets "About 26 results" in google books.

I also thought it ironic at the time that you have also had involvement with the article Isis (song). Its nice that there's no connection to the group of the same name.

GregKaye ✍ ♪  12:07, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * "Isis (song)" was my very first Wikipedia article I wrote in full from scratch. Plenty of editors have modified it since then (for the better, doubtlessly), but it was what started my Wikipedia career. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 16:39, 16 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for helping and for all the background information. Since asking my question here I also found this rendering: "السلفية الجهادية" on the salafi jihadism page which gets "About 13,200 results" in news more than "سلفية جهادية". Is this right?  GregKaye  ✍ ♪  13:11, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. Yes, you're right, Arabic uses the definite article ال al- a lot, especially with the names of movements and schools of thought. So, as you've discovered, searches using the al- are going to turn up a lot more hits than those without. Johanna-Hypatia (talk) 13:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Museum hacks and museum edits
