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)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
	Thank you Jenhawk777 for the message that you left on Gerda's page for me. Truly, the volunteers of these huge projects like WP, LibriVox, DP cannot go the extra mile without people like Gerda and you, who inject fresh energy into the volunteers. The kind words are our only salary, and fortunately we all can pay each other a lot. :) Qapisce (talk) 10:57, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A superior barnstar for you!

		The Order of the Superior Scribe of Wikipedia
		For all the time and effort you have put in — across thousands of edits — to markedly improve numerous articles related to Christianity all these years. The magnitude of the positive impact you have had with regard to Wikipedia's coverage of academic topics related to Christianity is unprecedented; I cannot think of any other editor who has worked so rigorously and improved those topics to the extent that you have. You are a phenomenal editor and your work is awe-inspiring. Thank you for all that you do! — The Most Comfortable Chair 21:12, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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. Jenhawk777 (talk) 15:22, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Diabasecontributor9 (08:21, 4 August 2025)

I started an article in the sandbox and when I switched the view (away from visual), I lost all my data. Is it somewhere I'm not noticing? --Diabasecontributor9 (talk) 08:21, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Go into the "View history" of your sandbox and see if you can restore it from there. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:22, 7 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP-brouhaha of the day

In short, Caesar DePaço went to court and the court agreed with him that there are some things WP isn't allowed to say about him. Wikipedians and WMF legal have some thoughts on that: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#Office_action:_Removals_on_the_article_Caesar_DePaço Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:49, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got a mention (admirably succint) at Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2025-08-09/News and notes. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:12, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:25, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, I made a new article, what do you think? Katina Parker. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:17, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Spatiogator (09:49, 12 August 2025)

Hi! I want to add additional information to von der Leyen page. On Ladson family pages (Ladson family, James Ladson, James H. Ladson) she is mentioned as a descendant of the family, but there is no such information in bio on her personal page. Is it possible to contribute to add these links to improve the page? How can I do it? --Spatiogator (talk) 09:49, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you can find a secondary source that says so, yes. Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:22, 12 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Saideekshith.dhulipala (16:35, 16 August 2025)

Hi, if i submit my biodata, can you update them appropriately. Kindly confirm and help me. --Saideekshith.dhulipala (talk) 16:35, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No. You can post anything you like on your name page but Wikipedia recommends agains posting any personal data. It's likely to be abused by miscreants who enjoy that kind of thing. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:47, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today's story - short version: ten years ago we had a DYK about a soprano who sang in concerts with me in the choir, - longer: I found today a youtube of an aria she sang with us then, recorded the same year, - if you still have time: our performances were the weekend before the Iraq war ultimatum, and we sang Dona nobis pacem (and the drummer drummed!) as if they could hear us in Washington. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:44, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wish they could hear, but they seem deaf. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:26, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Feel the same! - Check out my talk for an Independence day, or: the pic of Oksana Lyniv was taken on 24 August. There's listening and reading in today's story, and I like both. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:08, 24 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On top of my talk: birthday of a great violinist and Requiem for a great friend. We sang Paradisi gloria from the Stabat Mater in the end. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:37, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from TonyWWood (19:26, 20 August 2025)

JennHawk777, hoping you can help me. I was trying to update my page the other day (I'm not techy at all) and hit something on Tony Wood (musician) page that suddenly lost about 2/3 of my content and posted some other things from some weird sources. Is there a way you can get me back to make my public page being:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tony_Wood_(musician)&oldid=1306513046

Thank you. --TonyWWood (talk) 19:26, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Try clicking on "View History" at the top of your page and see if you can find and restore it from there. If you can't just "restore this version", try copy/paste from the content you find there. Good luck. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:44, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sakshisharma14 on Shiv Datt Nirmohi (10:57, 22 August 2025)

Hey there. I am new to these edits. Can you help me with these few things: -How do I add 'list of works' to the page and how do I make it appear the same as it appears on the pages of other writers? -Do I have to add citations for every detail that I add? Because there is no website which has included the list of all of his works. I contacted him personally to get the list. Will it be a hurdle to adding his works on his wikipedia page?

Please help me figure these out.

Thank you for giving me your time! --Sakshisharma14 (talk) 10:57, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sndwrx (19:11, 26 August 2025)

Hi Jen! ( Hawk )

Thanks for being my mentor here and apologies for any "dumb" questions. I have submitted a user article and was wondering if you could take a look at it. I've done my best to include all of the relevant articles and awards and make it neutral. This is my first time doing so, so let me know if I can help! Thank you --Sndwrx (talk) 19:11, 26 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No dumb questions. The learning curve here is pretty steep, so give yourself time. If you have submitted the article, they will comment, I don't need to do so. Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:13, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from IJJOM on Draft:Tommy Newport (19:36, 27 August 2025)

Hello, I believe I have fixed all the link issues and sources, not sure why it is not being reviewed again. Can you assist with what I am doing wrong please. --IJJOM (talk) 19:36, 27 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The comments there are self-explanatory. Jenhawk777 (talk) 03:29, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Arc Victor Jackson MNIA (23:31, 28 August 2025)

Hello, how do I get started --Arc Victor Jackson MNIA (talk) 23:31, 28 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting article

"Remember, Wikipedia is not a sleek Silicon Valley startup with rows of paid moderators. Wikipedia is held together by a few thousand volunteer editors, a patchwork of semi-reliable bots, and the stubborn conviction of a community that still believes truth is worth defending. ... Wikipedia has built a defense system that reacts faster than most newsrooms: vandalism is reversed in minutes, bots flag obvious abuse, and semi-protection walls off the most targeted pages. The human side is equally formidable: a culture that isn’t polished, isn’t always welcoming, but is absolutely relentless. That relentlessness - combined with the fact that Wikipedia remains one of the few places online where money can’t simply buy influence - is exactly why it now occupies such a privileged position." Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:22, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I love this!! Where is it from? Who said it? What's your source? Ha ha ha!!

Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:34, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The text is one big link, yo. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:49, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know but it's much more fun to ask those wiki questions!! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:27, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So I read the whole article! I can't believe I took the time, but it wasn't wasted! Back to work for me now! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:32, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Consensus was reached. The lines were added back. Approximately 7,000 words of deliberation to settle, for a time, three sentences. This was Wikipedia’s process working as intended." Do we love this place despite that or because of it? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:20, 4 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Red September 2025

Women in Red | September 2025, Vol 11, Issue 9, Nos. 326, 327, 347, 348, 349
Recognized as the most active, topic-based WikiProject by human changes.

Online events:

New: Alphabet run Q & R | Women writers & their works | Microstates
Continuing, year-long initiatives: #1day1woman | Music

Announcements:

Wikipedia:Developing Countries WikiContest runs 1 July 2025 until 30 September 2025

Tip of the Month:

Researching historical women writers who used pseudonyms requires careful investigation across multiple sources, as many women adopted pen names to avoid gender bias and judgment (e.g., being labeled a bluestocking) and, ultimately, to get published.

Progress ("moving the needle"):

The WikiProject Women in Red homepage is usually updated weekly, using the Humaniki tool. Sadly, Humaniki has been out of action since 23 June.

Question from Bg1970 (23:45, 5 September 2025)

Hi! Thank you for being my mentor. I’ve written about a notable Australian racehorse called ‘Fine and Dandy’. I’ve published it but have been warned a page exists on the musical ‘Fine and Dandy’. A second page with this title also exists on a song from the musical. I don’t know how to proceed. I’m happy to have the title Fine and Dandy (racehorse) but don’t know if I can change the title. --Bg1970 (talk) 23:45, 5 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bg1970 If your article is accepted, the reviewer will take care of it. For future use, see Wikipedia:Moving_a_page#How_to_move_a_page. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:51, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
