January 2018[edit]
- BradLyman (talk) 20:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC) Thanks, Jax 0677 - I have been making small changes for a few years now. I'm hoping to add a page for a living person, which I'll read up on. Can you point me in any good directions? Thanks
Re: Tracy Chapman[edit]
It's extremely difficult to comprehensively source a negative statement like "Although Chapman has never publicly disclosed her sexual orientation ..." except to say that if she had, it most likely would have been picked up by other outlets. The source for her relationship with Alice Walker is watertight and very much a reliable source in Wikipedia terms ... and is only evidence that she once had a relationship with a woman, nothing more, nothing less. The noticeboard for biographies of living people is thataway, if you want to go there. Graham87 04:40, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
August 2020[edit]
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at User talk:Jax 0677, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button
located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:36, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
