Abhijitraorane (talk) 22:12, 21 November 2015 (UTC) Include the below in Lufthansa wikipedia page Lufthansa - As a whole, the Word Lufthansa is made of two words: 'Lupth' and 'Hansa' which are two Sansrkit words meaning Disappearing swan or a crane (bird). The logo was designed by Dr. Otto Firle and when he designed it he was thinking of a swan or a crane(bird) and "free as a bird" so that's how he came up with the logo. When an aeroplane service first started in Germany, the aircraft they employed in service were pure white, resembling huge white swans. When these aeroplanes would fly into the sky and grow slowly smaller and disappear, they would look like swans disappearing into the heart of the sky. In Sanskrit, the word that could describe them was lupth-hansa, or the hidden swan and that's the correct meaning. German language grammer has foundation of Sanskrit language. Sanskrit language originates in India used for depicting its ancient manuscripts. It is also said that best computer algorithms are made though Sanskrit language. No language in the world competes Sanskrit in terms of vocabulary. French, German, Dutch, Spanish, Latin scripts have their origins rooted in Sanskrit.

Lengthy misplaced concerns

I am concerned about a number of inaccuracies on my page and would like assistance in making corrections. In particular, zigzig20s cites a 2002 Journal of Blacks in Higher Education as the source of his claim that I was formerly a Jehovah's Witness until 1998, when I had a born again Christian experience. My family has always been Christian. My great grandfather Charles A. Kier was a Methodist pastor who pastored the New Hope Methodist Church in Moneta, Virginia where some members of my family still attend. As part of my spiritual journey, I share the experience of having encountered Jehovah's Witnesses as a teenager during the period they predicted the world would end in 1975. My encounter with them was one factor in my decision to marry at age 16. I stopped associating with Jehovah's Witnesses at age 19, before their predicted date for the world to end. I cite 1975 as the date of a radical life change that included earning my high school equivalency, filing for divorce, experiencing the death of a child and taking a job outside the home. I left organized religion for more than 22 years. My spiritual journey included studies of New Age and Eastern religions before being born again in 1998. My born again experience occurred between the time I accepted the position at Vanderbilt and when I actually showed up for the position. The only proper entry for religion is Christian. Information about Jehovah's Witnesses should be a one-line sentence.

I did not put myself through college working at McDonald's. I worked half a day at fast food restaurant. As I have cited on page xviii of THE NEW WHITE NATIONALISM IN AMERICA: ITS CHALLENGE TO INTEGRATION (Cambridge Press, 2002). "I have worked as an assistant in a nursing home for the aged, as an unskilled worker in a garment factory, as a door-to-door salesperson, and as a library assistant at a community college before becoming a successful university professor."


I would like to add that I worked full-time, 40-hours a week at Virginia Western Community College as a library assistant nights and weekends, and went to school full-time at Roanoke College and graduated magna cum laude. While a student at Roanoke College, I wrote the proposal and worked with fundraising to establish the Constance J. Hamlar Memorial Scholarship, named after a black professor I had at Virginia Western. As of June 30, 2015, the endowed scholarship had an endowment of $510,612.00. It presently funds 10 minority students (blacks, Hispanics, and Asian), per year.

Other changes that need to be made in the page concern the Be the People TV show which actually launched in 2012 and ended summer of 2014. I now maintain a www.bethepeopletv.com blog page.

There are other errors. I would encourage anyone who would like to help make the page accurate to cease deleting the edits of Vermonte1974 and contact me directly about additional inaccuracies. One of the things that need to be added is the fact that the petition supporting my academic freedom quickly garnered over 11, 400 signatures, which dwarfs the signatures on the student petition. If Zigzig20s wanted accuracy, he should cite articles and interviews with my response to the petition. http://citizengo.org/en/sy/31026-protect-academic-freedom-professor-carol-swain

The information about my marital status is inaccurate. It is accurate to state that I am divorced.

I would like to know how Vermonte74 can be approved as an editor. Right now someone is removing his changes. I don't care who corrects the page. I do care about the inaccuracies. I can be reached at <redacted>

Biography

Hi All,


I would Like to create a auto-biography about myself, so please help me how to edit/create it.

Thanks & Regards, Manjunath M

I'm sorry but if you are thinking of creating an article about yourself, the advice is probably "don't". See this page. The only people to have articles about them on Wikipedia are those prominent enough that others have written about them in a number of reputable publications. The full guideline is here.
You are very welcome to improve articles about "notable" topics or create new ones. Reading How to edit and Your first article may help you get started: Noyster (talk), 23:53, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

How do you create an article Ava New (talk) 11:15, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Welcome Ava New. Please note that new articles should be about "notable" topics, that is, those considered important enough to have appeared in serious publications such as newspapers, journals or books. If your topic is "notable" and you're sure that we don't already have an article about it, then please read Your first article and follow the process it takes you through: Noyster (talk), 11:45, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Use of this talk page

If anyone is still active in the Welcoming Committee, I would like to hear their views about the use being made of this very talk page.

It is receiving quite a variety of contributions from newly registered editors: not one of these contributions has anything to do with improving the Welcome page. Some of these contributions are being deleted, some are being left untouched, and people are attempting to reply to others. Question, which action or non-action is preferred?

The Welcome page is now (since last November I think) being linked as the first notification to a newly registered editor. It seems likely that some, finding they are unable to edit the semi-protected Welcome page itself, are coming here to post their message. Unfortunately, the competence and reading skills of these editors is called into question by their having missed or failed to understand the great massive coloured banner at the top of this page.

It may be considered that posts of this kind should be left alone, as if not made here they might be made more damagingly somewhere else. We could semi-protect this talk page, but then someone newly registered who reads the Welcome page couldn't offer a valid comment about it. If anyone has a more constructive suggestion please post ↓ : Noyster (talk), 20:38, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

@Noyster: I wouldn't call myself a member of the Welcoming Committee, though I do have this page watchlisted. Thanks for explaining where these editors are coming from, I had been wondering. One thing we could try is an edit notice of some kind. Editors submitting an edit request are not shown the talk page banners; they jump straight to an "add new section" edit box without seeing the existing talk page. You can see this by logging out, or by trying to edit a full-protected page such as Muhammad. -- John of Reading (talk) 21:50, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
should simply redirect the tlak page here to the help desk...the Welcoming Committee does not use this page to tlak. -- Moxy (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

You are very welcome to improve articles about "notable" topics or create new ones. Reading How to edit and Your first article may help you get started.
But if you meant "How do I start my user page", then that's much simpler. Follow the link near the top of the screen with your username "Diligentuser2". A screen appears with a link "Start the User:Diligentuser2 page." Follow this one and you get a blank screen. Away you go - type in a few brief details about yourself and what interests you about Wikipedia, or add a few userboxes. Here's all about it: User pages: Noyster (talk), 12:00, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
