Hello and thank you for your message. I am not going to add new stuff to Amilcar Cabral article. I've just added another category to his article. No, I'm not a folklorist, but generally I am interested in American history and African-Americans too. I have still a lot to do. Thank you for joining Wikipedia. I hope you will enjoy it. - Darwinek 09:28, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi, Quadell answered your question at User_talk:Lacrimosus/Archive_(April_'05-June_'05)#MV_Tampa. Mark1 04:03, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Done, Botkin moved. All you need to do is to click on the "move" button which is on top and follow the instructions. And please, next time when you will be adding categories to some people, make it in this style [[Category:Folklorists|Lomax, John]]. People are sorted by surname in categories. I am from the Czech Republic, but I am a Pole. Where are you from? - Darwinek 19:27, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[Posted to User:Brookie] I'm just curious why you deleted the paragraph on Botkin's values and beliefs about multiculturalism, as well as calling him the "Father of Public Folklore." I will write a longer Botkin entry at some point, but was wondering what about that merited striking from the discussion? Bruxism 23:22, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
You can do this here (image): and then follow the instructions. -- Darwinek 09:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I made Botkin a disambiguation page. You can add another Botkins to that page. Now you can change links in that articles, that should link to Sergei Botkin and now links to Botkin disambig. page. Was Ben Botkin an African American? - Darwinek 17:53, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yes, I am a student. This year I've finished high school and I've passed the exams to 2 universities.

In "Mythology", you referred to the word "narrative" as technical. Not that I disagree with you (the change makes little difference), but what exactly did you mean by that?elvenscout742 22:22, 21 July 2005 (UTC)Reply

I deleted the info because MediaWiki conveniently makes it available via the history. It was certainly useful information, as you said, that needed rewriting, but the article could be without it for a while until someone edited it. I assumed-and of course there will be those who disagree-that leaving it out until it could be properly melded into the rest of the article is better than having a messy article. If it's important, it will be edited and restored.
Thanks and I always love feedback on my edits. Paul 03:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)Reply
A) I didn't say it was "absurd," I said it needed editing to fit in with the rest of the article. B) The watchlist (mostly) solves the problem of people looking at the history - you noticed that I removed the information, so you are then able to edit it so that it can be put back into the article. I assume you know more about the topic than I do, since you noticed the edit. Therefore, you noticed it was removed, and thus you are able to solve the problem.

Hi. Thanks for your help with Ellacuria's and Martín-Baró's bio's. I plan to work with Segundo Montes' soon. He was a sociologist and did very important work too. I'm currently living in Norway, but I come originally from El Salvador. I studied in the Jesuit high school in San Salvador and went to college in UCA. That's why I'm so interested in writing the biographies of these priests that were murdered in San Salvador. I have many Jesuit friends and know very well people that worked with them. How about you? How did you first learn about them? albtho, 10 December, 2005.

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you are saying. Although I dont think that you grasp what I mean. Many peoples articles immediately state that Cathy is a Irish American politician, or Susan is a French American actress. It is quite common on wikipedia; I am not strategically targeting a certain group. What you said about refering to someone as a "white American President" and a "Protestant American President" is entirely different. Refering to someones skin color is not refering to really a specific race. For instance the white race is divided into many different ethnic groups such as the Slavs, Tuetoens, Mediteranean, baltics, and Jews. It goes for the same for Asians, they may look alike and saying that a Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, are all Asian it is correct in a sense but they are all different ethnic groups. When you say that PHDs are thinking that there is no ethinc group that is nonsense. A black person does not belong to the same race/ethnic group as a Chinese. This is known.
Although refering to someone by their religion is actually common on wikipedia. I see it quite often in opening lines to see John Balt is a Roman Catholic American actor. That is just referring to someones religion which is informative and gives insight to someones personality. Its pleasant to say this is a Italian American actor because each ethnic group has a rich heritage of history and a culture they can be proud of. Henry Kissinger is not really German but ethinically Jewish. He was born in Germany and maintains a German citizenship and could identify as German but he didnt originate from the same ethinic german tribe; he is a semite. That is why he is called a German-Jew. That is like a black man being born in Japan and being considered an ethinc Japanese. He would be identified as a black-Japanese or something along those lines. I hope I cleared this up. Also ones ethnic backround is something to be proud of. If someone said that this person is a French American actress it is done in a positive way, not a negative.
JJstroker 04:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
With regard to Henry Kissinger its true and it not only applies to him but others. If I were to move to France, I wouldnt be an ethnic french and I dont belong there. I actually have a French citizenship but I am not ethnically French in any way. I know that I am not really French no matter what political correctness says. No hard feelings I dont belong in Japan, I dont belong in France, and I dont belong in Africa I belong in the sudentenland with my original ethnic people and I am acceptable in Canada, Australia, US, etc but I dont belong in any other country. Also many Jews identify themselves as "German Jews" because it would be incorrect to strictly identify themselves as ethnic Germans. America is a melting pot of a million different cultures so its beneficial and informative for people to state their ethnic backrounds considering there is not one race which originated from this land except for native Americans which are also identified by their ethnic backround.
Now you are starting to see my viewpoint. Mexican-Americans, African-Americans, German Americans, Irish-Americans, are all Americans who just belong to different ethnic backrounds. To identify them as such is something that is informative and pleasant to see on wikipedia. Most people are proud of their heritage and freely state it, I dont see the controversy with identifying someone as a German American, Jewish American, Mexican American etc.
I didnt say all asians look alike but similar just like whites look similar. A Polish American could look just like an English American even if they belong to different ethnic groups; its not a big deal. I didnt mean it in any deragatory way. There are minor distinctions between whites and asians but overall all ethnic groups look the same.

I confess that I had not bothered to think about the opening since I worked on it last year (too many other things to think about).

Fair enough. I know that Cohen told the joke frequently (and there are audio recordings that could be cited), but I suppose that doesn't mean he invented it.

Thanks for your comments.
I feel the discussion in the paragraph you deleted has been somewhat hijacked, yes, to reflect some theologically conservative bias. I would repair it, but recently I've been very busy and without the time to devote to this particular article. I think it is important, though, to recognize that the Puebla conference depends on how you frame it. I, personally, think liberation theology hits the nail on the head nine times out of ten, and I think it's incredible that despite conservative control of the Puebla conference and the complete disinvitation of basically the entire theological community of Latin America, the movement had enough strength and enough power to manage to affect the conference and insure that the Puebla documents did reflect their thinking.
I think the movement in Puebla was powerful enough and noteworthy enough to warrant mention. They were a scrappy bunch facing off against some severe repressive powers, and they still achieved their goals and objectives. I don't think that speaks to their oppression; I think it speaks to the power and persuasiveness of their message and the basic power of liberation theology as an intellectual, moral, and theological enterprise. Sighter Goliant 05:45, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Before I forget, I can easily see the discussion being moved to articles on different subjects, honestly. You are right in the sense that it does not necessarily broaden our definition of what lib. theology is. However, if we could couch it in terms of liberation theology being a broad movement within the church -- and therefore capable of doing what happened at Puebla -- it might actually be helpful to understanding.
As for my philosophy, I know Wikipedia's standards don't ban or prohibit textual deletion without discussion. I just think it's in good form to do so. But being a full-time student, it can be hard sometimes to get enmeshed in the deeper meta-debates over Wikipedia policies and procedures, so for now I just try to get people to discuss before deleting as a matter of politeness to interested parties.
No objections to a name change. The obit cited in the article said he was self-taught, though it sounds as if he knew several other musicians. Thanks for checking in! Jokestress 03:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jay, We're writing at the same time here. I have no objection to a list of historical winners being copied, but it's the citation that has been copied here, without quotation marks, e.g. "For her compelling portrait of a baseball umpire who endured the death of a son while knowing that another son suffers from the same deadly genetic disease." That's wherein the plagiarism lies. Bruxism (talk) 07:26, 19 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hi. The entire content of the article was
"Jean Mohr (1925, September 13 -) Swiss photographer.
External Links: http://jeanmohr.com"
This doesn't contain an assertion of notability. Even if a person is notable, it doesn't mean we're supposed to have placeholder articles for them with no content, nor does it mean an admin is obliged to write the content of every article by him/herself instead of deleting stuff when an article is useless (even though it's obviously preferable). This doesn't prevent you from writing a real article about the person. - Bobet 22:10, 25 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

| The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 121 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |

| The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |

Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content.

Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 121 articles that have not been assessed. |

| Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

Hi! The message was for the person who posted the edit at that time. You shouldn't get into trouble at work; your IP address is used by multiple people and the edit is timestamped. If anyone questions you about the edit, just say that it was made at X time and you didn't make it at that time. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:42, 14 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
BTW I'm not sure which IP you are referring to, but for the only non-university I am thinking of, I merely posted the notice that the IP is assigned to a particular company. [1] WhisperToMe (talk) 04:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh, I must have thought of the wrong one. Anyway, yeah, university addresses are also marked as they too are shared by multiple users. It matters whether it is a group IP because multiple people can use the same address at once; therefore a warning to a user who makes edit A may be read by another person. Entire populations may be affected by a block on a particular address. Therefore administrators need to know whether an IP is shared. As Template:SharedIPEDU/doc explains adding the school IP also categorizes it as one of several IP addresses shared by multiple people. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:57, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

The project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings. No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes.

| Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete | New WPNJ members | ||
| Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles. School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles! |

| Editor's news. OK, so I am going to try this again. It's been a little over a year since our last edition, and activity at the project was a bit slow during that time. Things have picked up again over the last few months, so once more into the breech I go. I will try to produce this newsletter on a regular basis (bi-monthly?) to see if we can get some more activity going at WPNJ. Help is always appreciated, and there is plenty to do. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

| New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |

| All BLP, All the Time | New WPNJ members | ||
| BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |

| In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
| New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

I am looking for people with interests in folklore (editors I’ve encountered on folklore/mythology articles as well as elsewhere) to visit talk:Folk etymology, where there is an ongoing edit dispute. One view (three people) holds that the term is exclusive to linguistics, and another (just me) finds that the term has been formally defined within folklore, and used in academic journals in that sense for more than a century. The page is currently locked. I ask your input ‘’’not in support of either view,’’’ but because discussion seems to have come to a standstill, it seems to be a page few stumble across, and needs fresh viewpoints to get unstuck.
