Thank you Gerda Arendt. How kind of you to keep track and remember!--DDupard (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's fond memories, so simply good for me. Is there any chance you could help finding references for Jean-Luc Godard? It's a shame we can't get him to our Main page. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:31, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Gerda Arendt, I find obituaries all over [1], [2],[3],[4], [5], and learned some thing. Might have to search more for academic papers ;)--DDupard (talk) 13:44, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Problem is that there are bits in his biography which are possibly not covered by recent obits. They should be marked in the article as "needs citation", and perhaps you can find some of those and add them. - Sorry, I have no time, a bit under pressure to get the conductor of the Queen's funeral in shape. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah Ok Gerda Arendt, I'll take some time to look into it, and if you are in Europe, there are also segments about him on Arte TV here.--DDupard (talk) 13:56, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, and yes, I'm in Germany (I have a user page, DYK?) Thanks for trying. He was on on the Main page, briefly, but then came the believers in "every little bit must be reference" and pulled it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:03, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jstor: [6], close to 300 pages on Jstor. Pfuiff a lot of work ! ;)--DDupard (talk) 14:35, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reading sequentially would be a lot of work. What I do when I have time is let google find the sources. When the fact is described precisely, answers are likely. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:36, 15 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We can do something else - he is on the Main page now. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:45, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for something else: translate more in fr:Prière pour l'Ukraine? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:15, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you supply inline citations for Paul Veyne? Probably the refs are there, and just need being placed after facts they support. I'm sure that's easier for someone who knows the language. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:26, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
