Delinking dates on your user page
Shouldn't the dates be delinked on your user page in the Milestones in Edit Count section as per mosnum?-- PremKudva    Talk   03:41, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Greetings - thanks for your message!
 * As you may know, MOSNUM previously recommended that they be linked. Given that opinion swayed from one way to the other, I am anticipating it may swing back the other way.  Hence, I am not investing time to go change all the dates.  Cheers, Johntex\talk 14:26, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Texas Longhorns
Hi John, just to give you a heads up, as you seem to be the primary contributor to the series of articles, I plan on going ahead with the move of the Texas Longhorns football seasons articles to the plural form. You didn't seem to feel too strongly one way or the other on the talk page. I think the move is important because it keeps consistency across the Wikiproject College football's articles. I'll leave a redirect from the singular.

By the way, outstanding job on those UT team articles. You've set the standard for those of us who work on cfb team articles.

Strikehold (talk) 17:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi Strikehold, thanks for the heads-up about the page moves. I appreciate the courtesy even though of course I don't own the articles.  It is always nice when someone takes the time to not only discuss their proposal, as you did on the Talk page, but also to notify the major contributor(s) as well.

 * Thanks for the compliment also. I think they are in pretty good shape overall, though of course I know they have some room for improvement always.  The 2007 article may be close to FA quality.  I was working it up in the off-season but I ran out of time when the new season started.

 * Is there a bot yet to fix all the articles to keep them from pointing to the redirects, or do we still have to do that manually? That work is rather tedious, but it should really be done if we are moving the pages.  Best, Johntex\talk 19:40, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

I miss your edits to the Texas Longhorns football season page. So far we just have a skeleton page for 2011. - Bevo (talk) 18:09, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

==Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Texas Flag at DKR - North Texas vs Texas 2006.jpg== Thank you for uploading Image:Texas Flag at DKR - North Texas vs Texas 2006.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

Users opposing the use of College Football team logos being used in articles through out the College Football project have filed a Request for Comment trying to ban use of team logos.

Proposed deletion of Kelby Shults alleged harrasement incident
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Kelby Shults alleged harrasement incident, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process  because of the following concern:
 * There is no good reason to keep this account of an unproven allegation against a school student.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi.

Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in.

Could you pop over to ejaculation discussion page?
Sorry to trouble you with this old dispute, I had been going through the archives and had noticed you had been involved in the discussion.

Consensus is close on the video, but some photos have been put back into the page (Atom has lost the plot on this one). The photos have by Infofreak been shown to be pornographic and exhibitionist, and I agree. Not only that while there is the possibility them being put back it is more difficult to get consensus on the video. It is just starting to hit me why this is so difficult. If the pics go we can move toward consensus on the video. Info has said he would delete them, but Atom is still questioning why here. It is proven that the same person who uploaded them has similar stuff on a pay-per-view porn site. Whoever this guy is he is getting mileage out of having them here. They need to go, and from WP Commons too if possible.

Kind Regards

AfD nomination of Jevan Snead
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Jevan Snead. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Jevan Snead (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:05, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Stockings
I know this goes back a few years, but when you created File:Fishnet stockings from below.jpg, how did you determine they were stockings and not some other form of hosiery? The source does not appear to say either way. --Juventas (talk) 23:22, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * You replied that they're tagged on Flickr as stockings. I'm probably being dense, but the tags I see on Flickr are "legsproject, legs, fencenets (not fishnets), orange tutu, NSFWWISNTT, tutu, top-v555, leg".  If the author has tagged them as "fishnet stockings", that would be good information. --Juventas (talk) 01:57, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free content usage
There is an issue involving non-free content usage on the US Presidents on US postage stamps discussion page. As you are an administrator with a lot of dealings in non-free content disputes I am hoping you can weigh in on a matter. I created the US Presidents on US postage stamps page back in June of 2010. Most of the page's images are of postage stamps issued before 1978, in the public domain, that depict US presidents, however stamps issued after 1978 are not in the public domain and any images must be used under non-free content guide lines. The page has 17 NFC images, each image used in reference to a different topic/president. As the page subject is about presidential stamps, each image is necessary and is so defined in fair-use rationale. -- A day ago (Jan.11) I was told by a user:hammersoft that the article has too many NFC images and he referred me to Non-free image use policy, items 3 and 8. This wiki'reference speaks about multiple NFC images used for one topic. This reference also doesn't speak of an overall flat limit on NFC images, but instead speaks of conditions regarding their usage. In any case, this sort of gets into a gray area. There is a discussion already underway on the page linked to. Any advice and consensus you can offer would be most appreciated here. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 22:28, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Template:Texan Collaboration Notice
The Texan Collaboration Notice on the main page of WikiProject Texas has apparently been directed to Marshall, Texas since 2007. It has been my impression, based on the talk page and absence of certain editors, that the Texas project has not been really active in quite some time. Maybe individuals are working on Texas pages. But as a project, nothing looks like it's happened for a while. Given that, I wonder if it serves any purpose to have that outdated Collaboration Notice template on the main page of the Project.

Hello. This is TheOneQ and I have a small request in regards to getting pornography pages posted on Wikipedia. I see you are an administrator and work with the WikiProject Pornography group and would like your advice/opinion.

I have tried to get several pages posted on certain pornstars/movies, but they keep getting rejected. To my knowledge, I am following the verifiability and notability requirements for these performers, but they keep getting rejected.

For example, I recently attempted to write a page on the gay pornstar Spencer Reed. He is regarded in the industry as one of its fastest rising stars and he has notability to prove his placement on Wikipedia by way of his numerous award nominations and wins.

XBIZ, the industry leader on news and information related to pornography, awarded him the Gay Performer of the Year, 2011. In addition, he has been nominated for several GayVN Awards, honoring the best in gay pornography. GayVN is part of AVN, a trade magazine also recognized in the industry as a reputable source.

My listing included four sources. Two of them were from XBIZ: one showing a listing of the 2011 award winners and the other a profile feature written on him and published in their magazine. Another source was from AVN and showed a listing for the awards he was nominated for. The final source was from IAFD (Internet Adult Film Database), showing a breakdown of all of Spencer's official appearances. I also want to note that AVN, XBIZ and IAFD are all listed in the WikiProject Pornography page as "Useful Links"

Despite only citing reputable sources within the field and (to my understanding of it) showing notability, the page was still rejected. The notice stated, "We're sorry, but we cannot accept unsourced suggestions or sources that are not reliable per the verifiability policy."

I don't want to this opening message to be too long, but any help you can provide to get this page and others posted would be greatly appreciated. I want to follow everything necessary for publication. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheOneQ (talk • contribs) 15:31, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

attribution for photographs
Hi Johntex, This is probably not the right forum for this conversation, but I wasn't sure how else to contact you.

I am interested in using a photo you took, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pink_knitting_in_front_of_pink_sweatshirt.JPG,

on our library website, http://www.ilsleypubliclibrary.org/event/advanced-beginners-knitting-group/2012-11-19/ But I am a little unclear on what the proper attribution is for this and other creative commons photos. Does this look okay to you?

Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you.  MBisanz  talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of BioTronics

The article BioTronics has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
 * I can find no record of this company's existence on the web. There was a postcard page, found in the Wayback machine, in 2008 under amplisensor.com, with only a home page. Most of the concrete information in this article suggests that this company is at best a failure and possibly a scam. There are other more established companies named BioTronics in the US, an instrumentation company in Pittsburgh and an ag company in Iowa. Accugen, its other ID, is also a more established company elsewhere in the US. AmpliSensor is the name of another product produced by a German company. The article's Biotronics supposed address, 50 Stedman in Lowell, MA, does not even exist on Google Maps. (Addresses go 44-46-48-54 there.)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Nerina Pallot

Nerina Natasha Georgina Pallot (born 26 April 1974) is a British singer, songwriter and producer, who has released seven albums and over a dozen EPs. She was nominated for British Female Solo Artist at the 2007 BRIT Awards and nominated for an Ivor Novello Award for "Sophia" in the category of 'Best Song (musically and lyrically)' in the same year. Besides her own material, Pallot has written songs for Kylie Minogue and Diana Vickers. She mostly tours around the UK and is married to record producer Andy Chatterley.

Early life
Pallot was born in London and brought up in Jersey by a half-French father and a mother from Prayag, India, together with her sister. Pallot played piano as a child and wrote her first song aged 13. She has identified seeing singer and pianist Kate Bush perform her hit song "This Woman's Work" on television series Wogan as a catalyst for her to pursue a music career. She attended Jersey College for Girls and received a music scholarship for Wellington College.

2001–2003: Dear Frustrated Superstar
Pallot released her debut album, Dear Frustrated Superstar, on Polydor records in August 2001. This spawned two singles, "Patience" and "Alien". She was subsequently dropped from the label mainly due to failing sales. The album was eventually re-issued several years later after her second album, Fires had become a commercial success. Her then-manager Richard Ogden noted that his company spent "three years managing her while she had a huge record deal and was a massive priority for Polydor. We did the best job we possibly could, but it just didn't happen".

In 2003 she sang lead vocals on the track "Truly" on Delerium's album Chimera, which was also released as a single in the UK.

2004–2008: Fires
Her second album, Fires, was released in April 2005 on her own independent label, Idaho. It was published by Chrysalis Music Publishing, to whom she remained signed and provided her with a development deal. They initially provided her with £50,000 to make the album. When that proved insufficient for Pallot's needs, she remortgaged her house to complete the rest of the album.

The album was produced and mixed by Howard Willing together with producers Eric Rosse who produced "Learning to Breathe" and "Heart Attack" (co-produced by Willing) and Wendy Melvoin who produced "Damascus". After the initial tracks were finished the rest of the record was apparently completed by Willing and Pallot flying back and forth from London to Los Angeles.

The album was preceded by a download-only single, "Everybody's Gone to War". A second single from the record, "Damascus" was released in June 2005, and a third, "All Good People" (a Radio 2 single of the week) was released in September 2005. She performed at the 2005 Guildfest music festival and headlined her own show at Bush Hall in Shepherd's Bush, London later that year.

At the end of 2005, Pallot signed with 14th Floor Records (a Warner label), who re-issued the album after adding strings on some tracks, on 24 April 2006, earning Pallot a chart success by reaching Number 21. With over 100,000 sales it was certified gold in the UK.

The first single from the revamped album was "Everybody's Gone to War", which was playlisted on most major British radio stations. The single became the third most played song on British radio the week before its release, and reached Number 14 in the UK Singles Chart. She undertook her first full headlining tour in support of the Fires album in May 2006. During the year she also played headline shows in London at ICA, the Bloomsbury Theatre, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre and at Shepherd's Bush Empire.

The second single from the album was "Sophia", a re-recorded version, created in LA along with producer Mitchell Froom, entered the UK singles chart at Number 32. In April 2007, the song was nominated for an Ivor Novello Award, while she toured around the UK and Ireland in January and February of that year. The next single from the re-released version of Fires was "Learning to Breathe", which reached Number 70 in the UK singles chart.

2009–2010: The Graduate
Pallot worked with several big name co-writers in preparation for the follow-up to Fires, including Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful") and Rob Davis (Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out of My Head"). She also wrote an album's worth of material with Rick Nowels (Madonna's "Power of Goodbye", Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place on Earth"). However, she struggled with the co-writing process and in the end only self-written songs made the album.

The Graduate was released on 5 October 2009 in the UK and reached number 46 on the Official UK Albums Chart in its first week of release. The standard version of the album features 10 original tracks, whereas the iTunes version contains three additional tracks, and the deluxe version contains seven acoustic versions of the tracks. The album polarised critics, with some lauding it as her best album yet and others seeing her change of direction from Fires as a mistake. Having had no intention of releasing Fires 2, Pallot has defended the need for a progression between the two records. She toured the UK in October 2009, including a performance at Glasgow's Oran Mor venue on Wednesday 7 October, showcasing songs from the new album The Graduate.

2011–2013: Year of the Wolf
In July 2010, Pallot returned to Geffen Records and to the A&R that first signed her to Polydor while embarking on an eight-day tour around the UK and Ireland. She confirmed her new album would be titled Year of the Wolf via her Twitter page on 21 January 2011. She recorded with Bernard Butler for the album. The lead single was "Put Your Hands Up", released 24 April, while the album was released 13 June 2011.

2014: Year of the EPs
For her next project, Pallot decided to release an EP every month in 2014, as she "just got sick of the album, tour, single... that whole cycle". The first was called The Hold Tight in January, followed by We Should Break Up in February. She found that "I'm at a point in my career where I can pretty much make it up now. I've also realised that a true fan base [...] cares about hearing as much music as they can get their hands on". Pallot supported the releases with a handful of tour dates across the UK. In September 2015 she released her fifth album The Sound and the Fury.

2015–2016: The Sound and the Fury
In 2015, Pallot independently released her fifth studio album The Sound and the Fury via her own Idaho label.

2017: Stay Lucky
2017 saw the release of Pallot's sixth studio album, Stay Lucky. The album includes the track "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter", which takes its title from Carson McCullers' debut novel of 1940 - and which Pallot herself has described as 'the best song I have ever written'.

2022–present: I Don't Know What I'm Doing
2022 saw the release of Pallot's seventh studio album, I Don't Know What I'm Doing

Videos
Pallot has released six videos to go with singles from Dear Frustrated Superstar, Fires, and Year of the Wolf.

Her first video for "Patience", directed by Swedish director Emma Hvengaard, features Pallot in various scenes, notably wearing white and barefoot, continually floating to and from earth. "Alien" begins with Pallot lying down, it then becomes apparent that she had fallen onto a plumber's van, crushing it, and the video implies she has fallen from the sky "like an alien". The unreleased "If I Know You" video features multiple Nerinas fighting each other in a theatre.

For "Damascus", Pallot is seen playing piano and singing in a recording studio. Pallot's next video was for "Everybody's Gone to War", which includes cabbage-throwing goths and pineapple bombs. Her next video was for "Sophia", and was filmed in the middle of the desert in Morocco. It has Pallot sitting at a piano, playing and singing while fire surrounds her in a circle and her piano smokes and is also alight. Pallot's next performance, "Learning to Breathe", is more "abstract" and is computer-generated with her playing the guitar in a house with many pictures decorating the walls.

The video for "Put Your Hands Up", the lead single from Year of the Wolf, was shot in and around Lant Street in Southwark, London.

 * Pallot along with her husband Andy Chatterley wrote and produced two songs for Aphrodite, the 2010 album by Kylie Minogue, the title track "Aphrodite" and third single "Better than Today", which first appeared on Pallot's Buckminster Fuller EP from 2009.

Pallot met fellow Jersey resident and Grammy Award-nominated record producer Andy Chatterley in January 2007. They became engaged within the first half-hour of their first date, and married six weeks later on 14 February 2007. The story was told by Pallot on Janice Long's BBC Radio 2 show on 3 June 2009. In 2009 she completed her degree in English Literature at Birkbeck, University of London. The couple reside in London.

On 9 September 2010, Pallot gave birth to her first son.

Supreme SA Leader

The supreme SA leader (Oberster SA-Führer), was the titular head of the Nazi Party's paramilitary group, the Sturmabteilung (SA).

History
To centralise the loyalty of the SA, Hitler personally assumed command of the entire organisation in 1930 and remained Oberster SA-Führer for the duration of the group's existence. After 1931, those who held the rank of Stabschef, such as Ernst Röhm, were accepted as the commanders of the SA.

Insignia
The Oberster SA-Führer had no particular uniform insignia and was a paramilitary title that could be denoted in a variety of ways. Hermann Göring, for instance, created an elaborate uniform, with swastika armband accompanied with white service stripes. In contrast, Maurice wore simply a brown Nazi storm trooper shirt with no insignia, as did Hitler when he held the title of Oberster SA-Führer.

José Miguel Insulza

José Miguel Insulza Salinas (born June 2, 1943) is a Chilean politician, lawyer, and academic serving as a senator for the Arica y Parinacota Region since 2018. He previously served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1994 to 1999 and Minister Secretary-General of the Presidency from 1999 to 2000 under president Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, as Minister of the Interior from 2000 to 2005 under president Ricardo Lagos, and as Secretary General of the Organization of American States from 2005 to 2015. Insulza is nicknamed El Panzer in Chile, for his tank-like drive and reputation due to his ability to take political heat with little apparent damage. He is married to Georgina Núñez Reyes (Mexican) and has three children.

Early life and education
Insulza completed his primary and secondary education at St. George's College, an elite American English-language school in Santiago, Chile. He demonstrated an early interest in civil service while studying law at the University of Chile, serving as president of the Law Students Center, vice president of the University of Chile Student Federation (FECH), and President of the National Association of Student Unions (UFUCH). After graduating from law school, he obtained a graduate degree from the Latin American Social Sciences Faculty (FLACSO) and a Master of Arts in political science from the University of Michigan. He was professor of Political Theory at the University of Chile and of Political Science at the Catholic University in Chile until 1973.

Early beginnings
Insulza was a member of the Popular Unitary Action Movement (MAPU) from 1969 to 1973. He ran for deputy for the Third District of Santiago, Puente Alto, in the 1973 parliamentary election but was unsuccessful. He served as Political Advisor to the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Director of the Diplomatic Academy of Chile in 1973.

Exile in Mexico
Following the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, Insulza was prohibited from re-entering Chile (he had been at an international conference in Paris at the time). He spent the next 15 years in exile, living first in Rome, Italy from 1974 to 1981 and then in Mexico from 1981 to 1988. There, he worked as a researcher, eventually becoming the Director of the United States Studies Institute at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (CIDE). He also taught at the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the Universidad Iberoamericana, and the Diplomatic Studies Institute. He has written numerous publications in his field.

He joined the Socialist Party of Chile in 1985.

Return to Chile
Insulza returned to Chile in early 1988 and joined the Concertación coalition of left-leaning political parties as a member of the Socialist Party. Following the end of military rule, Insulza was appointed Chilean Ambassador for International Cooperation in 1990. He became Director of Multilateral Economic Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Vice President of the International Cooperation Agency (AGCI) some time later. He became a member of the Chilean Association of Political Science, the Bar Association, and the Chilean Council of International Relations.

On March 11, 1994, Insulza became Undersecretary of Foreign Affairs under president Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle. On September 20, 1994, he rose to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs. On June 22, 1999, he became Minister Secretary-General of the Presidency. On March 11, 2000, he took office as Minister of the Interior under president Ricardo Lagos.

Secretary General of the Organization of American States
Insulza was elected Secretary General of the Organization of American States on May 2, 2005, following Mexican Foreign Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez's withdrawal from the race. (See 2005 Organization of American States Secretary General election.)

On January 5, 2007, Insulza criticized Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez's decision not to renew television channel RCTV's broadcast license (Chávez had accused the station of being a coup d'état instigator. ) Three days later, Chávez responded to Insulza by calling for his resignation and referring to him as a pendejo—a Spanish profanity equivalent to "dumbass". Insulza later received the support of several OAS members, including the US, and Chávez conceded he had gone too far with his words. In April 2008, Chávez congratulated Insulza for stating in a presentation before the United States House of Representatives Subcommittee on the Western Hemisphere that there was no evidence linking Venezuela to terrorist groups.

Insulza openly stated his intention to run for President of Chile, but withdrew from the race on January 5, 2009 and vowed to continue as Secretary General of the OAS until the end of his mandate. He gave his support to Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle as the Concertación candidate for president.

On March 24, 2010, Insulza—the sole candidate—was reelected (with the abstention of Bolivia) as OAS chief for another five-year term.

Insulza won the Washington Office on Latin America's prestigious Human Rights Award in 2008. In 2014 Insulza was awarded the prestigious Kalman H. Silvert Award presented by the Council on Hemispheric Affairs.

Criticism
As Secretary General, Insulza was criticized for not taking enough action against human rights abuses in the Americas. In 2008, the Human Rights Foundation started the "Inter-American Democratic Charter and Mr. Insulza" program, to inform Insulza every month of human rights abuses taking place in the Americas.

Later career
In 2019, Insulza joined the inaugural meeting of the so-called Puebla Group in Buenos Aires, a conference of left-leaning political leaders.

Jeff Whitty

Jeffrey Daniel Whitty (born September 30, 1971) is an American playwright, actor, and screenwriter.

For the stage musical Avenue Q, he won the Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical.

For his work on the Fox Searchlight film Can You Ever Forgive Me? (2018), he was nominated for the BAFTA and Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and won numerous awards including the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award for Best Screenplay, AARP's Movies for Grownups, the Satellite Awards, and the Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Avenue Q was his first produced musical and Can You Ever Forgive Me his first produced screenplay.

Early life and education
Whitty was born September 30, 1971, in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he was raised as the fifth of six children. After graduating from the University of Oregon in 1993, he moved to New York City and received a master's degree from New York University's Graduate Acting Program in 1997. After two decades in New York he moved to Los Angeles in 2013.

Career
He won the 2004 Tony Award for Best Book of a musical for Avenue Q, written with composers Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, which opened at Broadway's John Golden Theatre in 2003 and ran commercially in New York City for sixteen years. Among dozens of international productions and two national tours, the musical ran for six years on London's West End, as produced by Cameron Mackintosh.

Whitty wrote the libretto to the musical adaptation of Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City novels, with music by Jake Shears and John Garden of the musical group Scissor Sisters. The musical was workshopped at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center's 2009 National Music Theater Conference. It opened in a limited run at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco on May 18, 2011, and, after extending twice, closed on July 10. It was directed by Jason Moore with a cast that featured Judy Kaye, Betsy Wolfe, Mary Birdsong and Wesley Taylor. Whitty won the 2011 Bay Area Critics Circle award for his work.

Whitty wrote the libretto for Bring It On: The Musical, a "free adaptation" of the popular film series with an original story by Whitty, with music by Tom Kitt and Lin-Manuel Miranda and lyrics by Amanda Green and Miranda. Direction was by Andy Blankenbuehler with music direction by Alex Lacamoire. The musical premiered at the Alliance Theatre, Atlanta, Georgia on January 16, 2011. The musical subsequently went on a multi-city national tour beginning at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles on October 30, 2011. A revised version opened for a limited run at Broadway's St. James Theatre on August 1, 2012, and was nominated for the 2013 Tony Award for Best Musical.

In 2015, Whitty premiered his original vision of Head Over Heels (musical) at the outdoor 1100-seat Allen Elizabethan Theatre at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. His co-writer and music supervisor was Carmel Dean. Whitty devised the jukebox musical as a hybrid of Sir Philip Sidney's The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia and the back catalog of 80's pop stars The Go-Go's. After it opened on June 13, Whitty's version of the musical sold out its five-month run within two weeks. New York Times drama critic Charles Isherwood praised Whitty's book as "deliciously witty, bawdy and full of loopy appeal — and written mostly in skillfully wrought iambic pentameter yet."

In 2016, Whitty left the production when director Michael Mayer took over directing duties, installing Tom Kitt as music supervisor and firing all of Whitty's collaborators. A statement from the producers read: “Jeff Whitty’s original book was tied to specific language and arrangements of the Go-Go’s music. Incoming director Michael Mayer had a different vision for ‘Head Over Heels’ and Whitty chose to leave the production. All concerned wish one another success in their future endeavors.” Mayer and Kitt's quite different version of Head Over Heels opened at the Curran Theatre in San Francisco, bound for a Broadway run that opened July 26th, 2018, with a script "substantially revised" by James MacGruder. In March 2023, Whitty published an essay entitled "Grand Theft Musical" alleging severe mistreatment on the part of the producers of Head Over Heels, his agent, and his lawyer, including—variously—exploitation, threats, harassment, and theft of royalties.

In 2018, Fox Searchlight Pictures released Can You Ever Forgive Me, with a screenplay by Whitty and Nicole Holofcener, adapted from a memoir by Lee Israel. The film was directed by Marielle Heller and starred Melissa McCarthy as Israel and Richard E. Grant as Jack Hock, Israel's accomplice. The movie, its creative team and cast won a multitude of awards, with Whitty and Holofcener's screenplay garnering awards from the Writers Guild of America, the Independent Spirit Awards, the Satellite Press Association, the Los Angeles Critic Circle and many more, as well as BAFTA and Oscar nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Whitty's plays include The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler which was commissioned by and received its world premiere at South Coast Repertory in January, 2006; The Plank Project (a parody of documentary theater pieces like The Laramie Project); the multi-play cycle Balls; The Hiding Place, a romantic Manhattan comedy which received its New York debut at the Atlantic Theater Company; the dark comedy Suicide Weather.

Whitty is an occasional actor, having appeared in New York productions of plays by Amy Freed, including The Beard of Avon and Freedomland, as well as small roles in the films Garmento, Lisa Picard is Famous, and a cameo in Shortbus. Among his theatrical credits include stints at the Goodman Theater in Chicago, Philadelphia Theatre Company, and Playwrights Horizons and New York Theatre Workshop in New York City. In 2012 for a 25-performance run he played the title role in his own The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler in a production by New York company Exit, Pursued by a Bear, with Billy Porter playing the co-leading role of Mammy. Both roles had been created for and played by women until this production.

His older brother George Whitty is a noted jazz musician and producer, and the winner of multiple Grammy and Emmy Awards.

Jeff Whitty now lives in West Hollywood, California.

Tristia

The Tristia ("Sorrows" or "Lamentations") is a collection of letters written in elegiac couplets by the Augustan poet Ovid during his exile from Rome. Despite five books of his copious bewailing of his fate, the immediate cause of Augustus' banishment of the most acclaimed living Latin poet to Pontus in AD 8 remains a mystery. In addition to the Tristia, Ovid wrote another collection of elegiac epistles on his exile, the Epistulae ex Ponto. He spent several years in the outpost of Tomis and died without ever returning to Rome.

The Tristia was once viewed unfavorably in Ovid's oeuvre but has become the subject of scholarly interest in recent years.

The poems
The first volume was written during Ovid's journey into exile. It addresses his grieving wife, his friends — both the faithful and the false — and his past works, especially the Metamorphoses. Ovid describes his arduous travel to the furthest edge of the empire, giving him a chance to draw the obligatory parallels with the exiles of Aeneas and Odysseus (Ulysses) and excuse his work's failings. The introduction and dedication, which caution the departing volume against the dangers of its destination, were probably written last.

The second volume takes the form of a plea to Augustus to end the unhappy exile brought about by the carmen et error (poem and error) – the nature of the mistake is never made clear, although some speculate it may have had something to do with Ovid's overhearing (or rather discovery) of the adulterous nature of Augustus' daughter, Julia. He defends his work and his life with equal vigor, appealing to the many poets who had written on the same themes as he—among them Anacreon, Sappho, Catullus and even Homer.

The plea was unsuccessful; Ovid would live out the remainder of his years in exile among the Thracian Getae. The last three books of the Tristia grow grimmer as their author ages, heavy with the knowledge that he will never return to his home. At one point he even composes his epitaph:

The last part of the book addresses Ovid's wife, praising her loyalty throughout his years of exile and wishing that she be remembered for as long as his books are read.

Critical reception
Peter Green wrote in a translation of Ovid's exile poems that the Tristia "[has] not, on the whole, had a good press from posterity." Gordon Willis Williams referred to the work as "mostly a pale reflection of the genius that he had been." However, Ralph J. Hexter wrote in 1995 that literary critics were then "beginning to give the exile elegies a fresh look." A number of scholars have since viewed the collection favorably. It is listed among Ovid's major works by author David Malouf and scholar Matthew Woodcock. In Matthew Bunson's Encyclopedia of the Roman Empire, it is called "a powerful plea for justice."
