The Order of the Superior Scribe of Misplaced Pages | |
| 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 Misplaced Pages'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) |

Referencing of Conversion to Christianity
The content now reads as a proper Misplaced Pages article as well. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- 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.

Question from Kmt4536 (12:30, 4 February 2024)
Hi. I often look at films and TV shows on here and occasionally see the names of actors in the Cast section credited by their current stage name with a footnote or parentheses to state what they were credited as at release. For example, Miley Cyrus was credited as Destiny Hope Cyrus in Big Fish, but she is listed in the Cast section as Miley Cyrus, with a footnote stating the name she was credited as. I have seen nothing but this style of listing cast names until I was on the page for The Little Mermaid II, where Tara Strong is consistently referred to as Tara Charendoff, which she was credited as at the time of release. I can't find anything in the Misplaced Pages manual for style of writing where it is explained which is the correct way to refer to an actor, other than a section about avoiding deadnaming transgender people. Would you be able to explain to me which is correct? --Kmt4536 (talk) 12:30, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
- I cannot. I'm sorry. It's possible Gerda might know. She is super knowledgable and experienced, writes in the area of music consistently and there is no kinder more helpful person on Misplaced Pages. If she can't help you, she might know who can. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:33, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- We should ping her, then! @Gerda Arendt ;-) Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 21:55, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Ooops! My bad! Thank you! Jenhawk777 (talk) 22:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for (too) high praise, and yes, I try to be kind and I know some things but not about film crediting. How about Dr. Blofeld. - Generally, sometimes people get married, take stage names or change their names in other ways. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:20, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to join New pages patrol
Hello Jenhawk777!
- The New Pages Patrol is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of new articles needing review. We could use a few extra hands to help.
- We think that someone with your activity and experience is very likely to meet the guidelines for granting.
- Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time, but it requires a strong understanding of Misplaced Pages’s CSD policy and notability guidelines.
- Kindly read the tutorial before making your decision, and feel free to post on the project talk page with questions.
- If patrolling new pages is something you'd be willing to help out with, please consider applying here.
Thank you for your consideration. We hope to see you around!

Tachoni
Tachoni tribe stands as an independent tribe in Kenya. Mostly people mistaken it to a luhyia group since most of its occupants live in areas around Webuye in Bungoma county thus sharing a land with the luhyia groups especially the Bukusu and Kabras. Tachonis' are believed to have originated from El-Matru a region in Misri Egypt and migrated downwards following the Nile river due to a deadly attack that happened by their neighbors which lead to a great bloodshed.
On their way they met the kalenjin subtribes which they interacted and moved together via Ethiopia into Kenya. Upon reaching Kenya, they divided into groups which lead them to occupy lower western region as the Sabaots, Teuregs and some groups went at the slopes of mount Elgon while the other kalenjin subtribes went further to the regions of Uasin gishu which was by thenn occupied by the Maasai people.
Later on, other tribes begun occupying the unoccupied regions in western region e.g the Tesos. During the onset of colonialism, they had gathered and multiplied further. So when the whites begun their rules, the Tachonis' resisted together with the Nandi tribe and some other tribes which lead to an intense fight. The fight lead to capture of some leaders e.g Koitalel arap Samoei of the Nandi, while the Tachonis' were subjected to a total brutal workforce. Their greeneries were burnt down, while some were killed. Leaders we're drawn as far as kisumu and other tribes like Kabras and wanga to rule over them. That was not enough. Their lands were taken by force and we're forced to flee and find refuge from other tribes. This means of divide and rule lead to the lose of their dialect and their lands to date. Most of the settlement schemes and forest reserves in the wide western region of Kenya were once the Tachoni lands. After independence, the government took all those white settlements and made them government properties thus leading to a total disettlment of the Tachoni people. That's why they lack their official lands as many other tribes in Kenya. Bilmiah khaweri bii (talk) 17:36, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- This is a sad story. Colonialism did a lot of harm. Is there some reason you are telling me this? Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:38, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

sfn error in History of Christianity
Hello, I am Gilbert and I am contacting you about the broken sfn/harv citation number 336. Since you split the sources into chapters, you need to update the shortened footnote to reflect it. You can add onto the date and put A or B right next to it. Thank you! Thecowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kabiblehopper (14:45, 2 March 2024)
Fellow editor Viewmount Viking keeps deleting my edits, one of which on the JD Irving Ltd has him asking me to prove a negative.
https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=J._D._Irving&action=history
"Irving group of companies" isnt a registered organization, and therefore cannot be the "parent company" it is a colloquial term used to describe the Irving conglomerate, how can I cite something that doesnt exist?
How do I negate this. --Kabiblehopper (talk) 14:45, 2 March 2024 (UTC)
- Kabiblehopper I went and had a look. Viewmont Viking has reverted you twice for the same error - your material is unsourced - and he is in the right.
- It also does look promotional. Do you have any connection to the company? It is against wiki policy to use WP for promotional purposes. Please take a look at this; . Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:58, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- How does one prove a negative as is required in this scenario? The irving group of companies is not a physical group, its a colloquial name associated with a group of companies owned by one family. Ive established several times that Im not associated with irving, why is it that everyone is accusing me of self promotion when the articles written about irving & its subsidiaries are just incredibly bad. Kabiblehopper (talk) 13:00, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
- Because what you write about them doesn't sound neutral. But set that aside. It's the sources that really matter. We have had people that articles are about come and complain something is inaccurate, and they know because it's about themselves, but without a secondary source we can't publish it. Crazy I know, but if you stay long enough you will figure out why that's actually an important policy. People can impersonate anyone and say anything. We reference sources that can be checked. Always. Fix that issue and you'll be fine. Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:57, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
