Hi Jeff G. Thank you for your message. I have no bias I am not a company and i do not represent this artist. I have noticed that she is very well known and notable in books, journals, brochures Arts photography from the 80's/90's and printed newspapers but her Wikipedia does not yet reflect this -so there must be much more to add. The information provided is all true and verifiable. But please yes if anyone with Wikipedia experience and specialism in European Classical violin particularly if they understand newspapers in Cyrillic can work and add further to the information that would be great. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightning1979 ( talk • contribs) 11:40, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
Because I have these concert programs as original hard copies and thought they are of interest to fans of female vioinists, it is difficult to find them on the internet as actual weblinks as original concert programs and pictures taken by fans in the 70's and 80's are difficult to find i'm sorry i'm not experienced with which box to tick i thought because they are my copies they are mine but the information is all true and verifiable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lightning1979 ( talk • contribs) 17:52, 2 January 2021 (UTC)

Hi Jeff,
I'm a writer for The Ringer, the tech, culture, and sports site. We're publishing a package of Wikipedia-related articles on Wikipedia Day, and I'm hoping to ask you some questions for a piece about combating Wikipedia vandalism. Might you have a little time to tell me about your efforts in that area?
Thanks,
Ben Lindbergh
Staff Writer, The Ringer

{{ edit semi-protected}} My name is Steven Siegel My user name is StevenSiegelLeather I recently received a message from you suggesting that I change my username. Please tell me how to do this. Thanks, Steven Siegel (One of the Wiki Pages, for which I am an expert in this field is flawed and it should be corrected for accuracy) StevenSiegelLeather ( talk) 18:54, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
Then please explain what I am doing incorrectly. I am happy to share my knowledge. Please tell me how? Your previous message indicated that my edits will not be accepted — Preceding unsigned comment added by StevenSiegelLeather ( talk • contribs) 19:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
The entire article has much misinformation. Terms that are used were relevant over 100 years ago, no longer have ANY meaning. Facts that are presented are disjointed. I wrote an article on this subject which was published by a Bookbinding organization, Guild of Bookworkers. A pdf of the original article can be found here:
https://files.constantcontact.com/9c277d5f001/ec879f47-4feb-4dfa-a68f-ad0d8c78d92a.pdf The article was published in the August 2019 edition of Guild of Bookworkers. I really don't have time to rewrite the entire article. Happy to help someone else or just make occasional edits to the most grievous errors. I am one of very few court certified experts in the field of leather. 100% of my clients have prevailed, representing defendants as well as the plaintiff Can I help???? — Preceding

January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia | |
---|---|
Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects. The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat! We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

Hi Jeff. Sorry to bother you directly - I'm relatively new and uncertain! I submitted a question to the commons but it llooks like no-one's responded. My question is as below, and is in short a request for specific help re references.
I'm trying to complete an entry for the illustrator and author Ron Tiner ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Ron_Tiner) but it keeps being rejected because its sources don't provide significant enough cover. The subject is a very prolific comic and book illustrator, who's also had his own books published (by mainstream publishers and globally available) and is mentioned in many places across the web... but often only really in listings (except for a detailed interview i've found in print). And this is my probblem.
However, his body of work is significant, as is/was his influence on others. And for this reason I believe he should be on wikipedia - most of his peers/contemporaries already are. My problem is that, as with many in his field, much of the work was published then destroyed, and so records are hard to come by. The listings in which he appears are important and official/independent ones - ISBN filings, catalogues of work and so on. And for this reason I feel that an entry which mainly only lists his factual body of work could possibly be allowed.....?
What I'm hoping for help on is which of the sources I have provide suitable coverage, and which don't. Then i can amend the entry, slimming it down to only include the suitably verified information. Looking at entries for similar illustrators, such as Mark Buckingham (here/info/en/?search=Mark_Buckingham_(comic_book_artist)) I can see I have more sources, and I wonder if I would be better off deleting almost all of the sources I've used, so that I only include one or two longer mentions. But this seems counter to a thorough, verified approach.
Thanks in advance for any help provided. I'm not sure where I look for any response you provide to this, so I'll keep checking my talk page.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for coming back to me. Apologies for the lack of signature! Well, there are two interviews I've used. One was for Illustration Magazine, Issue 61 from late 2019 (mention of the interview is also on their site here: https://www.cellopress.co.uk/product/illustration-autumn-2019-issue-61). Plus an interview in 2002 for Paper Tiger Magazine. Would it help to get images to you? Jon. Jontickner ( talk) 11:22, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
That was the pointer I needed! Thanks Jeff - I'm very grateful. I've changed those citations to the right formats and resubmitted. Fingers crossed this does the trick. Thanks again. Jon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontickner ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
Do you, by any chance, know why the image in the infobox template I've just inserted has a picture of a girl and "Wikipe-tan says: "You can't use fair-use images outside of articlespace!"" under it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jontickner ( talk • contribs) 19:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
If you look at the draft here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Draft:Ron_Tiner&action=submit I put in an image of the artist (copying the image link correctly) but it's coming up as a japanese girl! Jontickner ( talk) 09:05, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
Hey Jeff, I saw you placed a COI tag on 2021 New York City mayoral election. I couldn't find anything in talk, could you put something on there, because I can't seem to find the editor with the conflict of interest. Thanks! Shadowrvn728 ( talk)
