When asking a question at the Help desk or the Reference desk, please include all the facts needed to answer the question. For example, do not ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you are interested in. This prevents the volunteers of those departments from having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Help desk is for questions on how to use Wikipedia, while the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).

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. :)

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! —

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.

He said "NPOV" yet I've used sources that abide by wikipedia's trusted sources for impartiality. On the Lee Chong Wei page. Looking at his history he has said that the reason why he kept deleting another user's edits on Lee Chong Wei, was because he himself did not consider him as one of the greatest, completely ignoring the sources. --

Okay, I went to the article page and looked it over. First, create a new topic on the talk page and ping him directly asking him to explain his revert. Don't assume you know what he thinks.
WP:NPOV says Avoid stating opinions as facts. but the problem here could be solved by adding an attribution - who says he is the best - and by including any statements of disagreement. Defend your sources and rewrite that edit to include attribution and opposition - if there is any - and put that on the talk page discussion. Next, if you get nowhere, go here:
Wikipedia:Dispute resolution#Resolving content disputes and do what it says. Just know that the first thing Admin will ask is if you tried to resolve this on the talk page. An edit war will reflect badly on you, so stop trying to add that to the article for now. Let me know how it goes.

Jürgen Moltmann died, and I'm struggling with getting the article referenced. There's now a source in English, which is great, but it sometimes contradicts the article, and I don't know what's right. Example: his "chosen by Christ" was in Belgium according to our article, but in Scotland according to the CT article. Would you have time to help? --

Of course I will help you in any way I can. I am in the middle of doing a source review on an FA candidate that is long and complicated right now. It is taking all my time and focus - not even getting anything else done on my own article - is it possible to wait till I finish that? If not, I will put that on hold and help you immediately. Do you need me to find sources?
Jenhawk777 (

Gerda Arendt Nevermind about the FA. I have spent a little time looking up Moltmann, but I am unsure what you are looking for exactly. I can't find either an article or a book titled "chosen by Christ". The Church in the Power of the Spirit: A Contribution to Messianic Ecclesiology is generally considered his greatest work, and he is thought of as one of the greatest theologians of the last century. 'Theology of Hope' was his first book. His work most certainly deserves an article. Just help me understand what you need, and I will do it today.

I was a bit in a ruch going out, sorry. Two things: the quote "I was found by Christ" (not chosen) is about an episode mentioned in both the WP article and CT during his time as prisoner of war, but the former had it in Belgium, and the other in Scotland. I helped myself a bit already by placing the quote after all these. (Even Scotland was not the last.) While the referencing for him has to be within days, better one than two, the other, a future article about a book, has more time. How about this: I start about Hope, and you the other, and we help each other? - But for today and tomorrow: any help with inline citations is welcome. You may have better sources than I can find on the internet. --

Okay, check this out. In The Source of Life: The Holy Spirit and the Theology of Life he personally talks about being a prisoner of war from pages 1-10. The WP article has the details correct but does not actually say where conversion happened. I cannot see all these pages on preview, but I have put in a request at the Resource exchange for pages 1-10, because I am thinking that what you are looking for is somewhere in pages 8-10 which are not on preview. Hopefully that will produce what we need. It may be tonight, but I will get back to you as soon as I get something from them.

Gerda Arendt The nearest to the phrase you are looking for is on page 5. I never decided for Christ, as is often demanded of us, but I am sure that, then and there, in the dark pit of my soul, he found me." It was a process (as it is in reality for everyone) rather than a single event. On page 8 It began in the night of war, and when we came to Norton camp the sun rose for us. We came with wounded souls, and when we left, 'my soul was healed'. It's truly a marvelous book and a powerful testimony. No wonder even those who disagree with his theology are still moved by him and admire him. I hope this helps. I must return to my review now as I am holding things up there. Bless your efforts - and yourself my friend.

Thank you for the research! - I was out all day, so I'm afraid I won't be able to sufficiently source the many other theological passages in the article that still need it, and cutting everything unsources would leave the article rather unbalanced. The precise source is from his own book, and some of the rigid variety of reviewers will complain, - although - which "independent source" would Know such personal things? --
Gerda Arendt (

20:54, 8 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Gerda Arendt It may be a kind of gray area, but it's published and imo, that qualifies it as a secondary source. It's not a personal diary, a memoir, a family Bible or even a personal letter - all of which can be and have on occasion been used here. Check the other WP refs: Cezanne, Stephan (5 June 2024). "Zwischen Frömmigkeit und Revolution: Zum Tod des großen Jürgen Moltmann". Kirche und Leben; and Conradie, E. M. (2012). Creation and Salvation: A companion on recent theological movements. Münster: LIT Verlag. ISBN 978-3-64-390137-8.; and Ryan, Robin (2011). God and the Mystery of Human Suffering (1st ed.) Paulist Press. p. 193. ISBN 978-0-8091-4713-7. I'm almost done with the FA review I've been doing. It's been a little long and complicated because I have gone through all of it. I'll be finished tonight. I will help.

Thank you! I covered the three but now they ask to reference the other works. There's a bibliography in the external links, but it's marked as self-published. The 350+ in the German National Library seem too broad. Did you meet a list of books in English. We have Comradie, but he listed mostly other titles than those in the article. --

Yes, the latter. ISBN numbers would do, but better some academic list of works or bibliography. - I wanted to add the bibliography from Cameron Coombe, but it's hosted by Wordpress, which is blacklisted. I hoped you had met a different one. If not we could through the 35 pages of the German National Library but it had no English title on the first 2 of those pages ;) - I have the same problem with opera recordings. Printed books, published recordings: what references would they need? --

There's a complete list of works here
[1]. A research bibliography is available on the archive
[2]. It's citable. Check out this one
[3] that has multiple links. And if you can access this one
[4] it is probably citable. Are you saying the bibliography needs isbn numbers for every work? They aren't even all books! What the heck?! It's 3 in the morning. I'm going to bed. Whoever these people are, they are supremely aggravating!

Ynd you as well, Jen! - Today I wanted to write a happy song story, on a friend's birthday, but instead we have
the word of thunder on top of it, which would have been better on 2 June, this year's first Sunday after Trinity. "Zeit ohne Zeit" means "time without time", composed in 1724, to an even older text! The new lilypond - thanks to
DanCherek - is quite impressive. As
my 2 Jun story said: Bach was fired up. -
Today's Main page is rich in music, also
Franz Liszt and a conductor. --
