Re:AuthorshipOh. I didn't notice that. I'll merge the two sections together as soon as possible. --WKPEditor (talk) 00:54, 7 July 2008 (UTC) I am not sure if the sources used in the previous authorship section are sufficiently scholarly. For example who is "Francis Write Beare"? So, I am a bit skeptical about merging the two sections directly. --WKPEditor (talk) 02:36, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Re: institutional useHi, Andrew! I am involved with School of Our Lady, (I am a teacher there,) but I was not entering the information officially or at the request of administration. I was not aware that involvement with the school results in disqualification. If I had not registered my username as schoolofourlady (I just did that so I wouldn't forget my username) would that have made a difference? How would anyone know the details of what had happened if he or she had not had some connection with the school? I see that you are on vacation, (hope you enjoy yourself) but I hope to hear from you soon. By the way the name of the church is Immaculate Heart of Mary, (Not Blessed Virgin Mary.)

Why change?Why did u change the information, in the page about Kim Kirchen?. In a interview. Kim Kirchen says, that he got his name after the former danish cyclist Kim Andersen. Kim Andersen is a good friend with Kirchens dad, and Kim Andersen are also living in Luxembourg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.59.117.241 (talk) 17:15, 9 July 2008 (UTC) Hi.

But in fairness, it is a relevant book for church architecture and I am going to buy it now that he pointed it out, because it does discuss the topic of the article. I looked it up on Amazon, and it is worth buying. If you don't mind, I will add it back. Thanks History2007 (talk) 00:24, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
Criticism of Bill O'ReillyI noticed you were doing some work with the Chicago gangs article and have a totally unrelated question for you. I recently came across the article Criticism of Bill O'Reilly. How exactly can we have an entire article devoted to critism and not violate WP:BLP? I just put a speedy deletion tag on the article, but I must be missing something, as this article had been around a while. I would appreciate the thoughts of an admin. Asher196 (talk) 01:06, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Please Explain this to meI changed it(list of chicago gangs articale) to list all the gangs in the midwest so I just have one simple question why is it that some of the gangs that you do get rid of all the time HAVE ARTICALES and are in the mid west mainly MS-13 and some other gangs the fact they are in the mid west can be verified if you look at there wikipedia articales —Preceding unsigned comment added by Insert account (talk • contribs) 02:29, 26 July 2008 (UTC) Invitation to WikiProject TypographyHello!

Interestingly, you could say the clinical description i posted was redundant; however, the personal eye-witness description was not redundant. In the supreme court's ruling they included a clinical description such as the one listed, then a clinical description by Martin Haskell, and finally an eye-witness description given by the nurses... The SUPREME COURT of the US considered these all worthy of inclusion in their opinion because they offer a different perspective on the procedure! I also think it inappropriate to say that the articulate statements based on CONGRESSIONAL FACTFINDING are not worthy of being included in this page. I mean you honestly think I or some other wikipedia poster can word something better then the US Supreme Court or Congress? Certainly not. I must remind you that Gonzales V. Carhart is specifically in reference to Intact D&E. It's not just some random court case... and in my opinion these cases are some of the best collections of information on the topic. Better then most obstetrics textbooks in fact. May God forgive us for allowing and doing little to nothing about the medical slaughter of millions of American Children in ways that we would not see fit to slaughter livestock. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deuter1000 (talk • contribs) 18:49, 30 July 2008 (UTC) Roe v WadeYour recent reversions are blatantly POV.

History of AbortionDear Andrew, Many thanks for your kind message. I took all information from the following source. Battleground - Women, Gender, and Sexuality Edited by Amy Lind and Stephanie Brzuzy, Greenwood Press, Westport, Connecticut • London. ISBN 978–0–313–34037–6 (set : alk. paper), 2008, pages 3-4 I have an Ecopy of this book, and I can send you these two pages if you so require. Can you please do me a favor and add these references on your own. I am rather new to these things and do not know how exactly to add references. Furthermore, I have also forgotten which entries I added. Many thanks. Anil Aggrawal Anil1956 (talk) 17:12, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
Abortion ArgumentsHi Andrew, You previously removed the section I added to the abortion argument page (incomplete information). I'm not sure about the process of editing that particular page, but I added it back with better references and tried to make it as unbiased as possible. I think that if those two arguments are removed, the abortion debate that is available on wikipedia is very narrow in the perspectives it offers. Both of the arguments I have posted are common propositions and neither are discussed in the abortion debate. If you don't like the form in which I've added them, then perhaps we can work together to incorporate those arguments into the page so that it is a more comprehensive debate. I'm happy for people to add to my points and offer contrasting views. I'm not aware of any contrasting arguments that aren't already covered (i.e that stray off in a different direction). ive added them to the discussion section of the 'abortion debate' page where i've asked for any feedback from people to make these points suitable for posting. i intend on having them in the abortion debate page and not just deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Utopial (talk • contribs) 11:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC) Misogyny

LyrlTalk C 00:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC) GaelicI am
You said "The idea that there are three categories of western typography "Blackletter", "Roman", and "Gaelic" is simply fiction." I disagree, and you seem to have made no argument beyond "I've never heard of Gaelic and neither did some people who wrote generalized books on typography". Compare Finnish and Hungarian and Nenets. Two are famous Uralic languages. Everybody knows about them. That doesn't mean that Nenets is not a Uralic language. Just because Gaelic type is in the minority, does not mean that it is nevertheless a top-level class in western typography. Ireland is certainly in the west, and Irish letterforms, deriving from insular letterforms are certainly western, although they are not Carolingian. Everyone who has written about Gaelic type has distinguished it from Roman type, and no one who has written about it has equated it with Blackletter. Roman ≠ Gaelic ≠ Blackletter = three categories. Your assertion that it is "simply fiction" is unfounded and not backed up by evidence. -- Evertype·✆ 09:38, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
TemplateI use your Template:New Testament manuscript infobox, it is very usefull, but I do not undarstand one thing in it - hand. It is explaned <<(reformed) documentary ...>>, but if it is possible I want more comprehensive explanation. It is only one point of your template, which I did not use to the present day. Yes. And some suggestion. It maybe good, though I am not so shure, to add some colours to the template. F.e. three colours, for papyri colour which will imitate colour of papyrus leaves. Another colour for the manuscript written on parchment (uncials, some minuscules, and some lectionaries), and colour for the manuscripts written on paper (part of minuscules and lectionaries). Perhaps for purple parchment another colour (?). Thanks for your help in the beginning of my working on en-wiki. I have deceided to work here for several reasons. En-wiki is most important, it is an international wiki, and third reason: I am a cosmopolitan (several nationalities in me). I see you intend to create article Editing Text-type (biblical criticism) - very good idea. I want create "List of textual variants of Greek New Testament", or "Textual Variants of New Testament", but not now. We need more articles about manuscripts (especially about minuscules). With best regards. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 00:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC) User engaging in personal attacks against me, could you help?Hello, I have been taking personal attacks by this user, SlamDiego who is constantly insulting my posts as being "verbose", is calling me "childish",[2] and other remarks. He is angry at me over a debate I had with him at the article, Fascism, where I argued that Fascism was totalitarian, while he claimed it was authoritarian. I made a compromise and agreed that it could be authoritarian or totalitarian, however he remains very angry at me. He opened up an old discussion that was ended over whether Obama was a fascist simply to attack the point I made. I have asked him to calm down and have said that his earlier concerns were legitimate, but he continues to attempt to make me look bad and accuse me of malcontent. Look at what he says here "By all means, go ahead and try reporting me for personal attacks; what I have attacked is needless verbosity and transparent illogic. I'd be very amused if you reported me for personal attacks."[3] He is not denying that he is engaging in negative attacks against me, but claims they are justified and is egging me on into a fight. He accuses me of being a type of user who trys "to hide their inadequacies by using lots of words". That is outright offensive of him to accuse me of being "inadequate" because I may use too many words. When I told once him to stop the personal attacks, he said this "It's no more a personal attack than telling an physical assailant to stop engaging in physical assault", that's accusing me of bad faith and an attempt to defame my character. I would appreciate if you could give him a warning to cease these vicious personal attacks against my character.--R-41 (talk) 23:54, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Edits removedI've seen you removed my remarks on the number of the beast. As much as i agree that wikipedia is for the masses and understanding of the revelations is to the spirit of daniel. And that the masses cannot bear anything that god tells us. They couldn't understand god telling moses he knows that the pharao would harden his heart and that he would let it come to pass to judge the land of egypt. I hoped that anyone might come to some extended degree of knowledge. The thing they have created wikipedia for... But seemingly you decided that that was no knowledge the masses would interest. But the gamatria is...... I agree... God gives the spirit of daniel to some people which can comprehend what he has to teach them. and not all can carry with them the truth. Let them believe in this silly gamatria where god told us to riddle ourselves with numbers looking for the beast. any way whatsoever. I'm not a wiki pirate like you and i don't ever wish to be one.. so i hope you have a nice life and god will bless those he deems capable of knowledge with the facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.209.14.186 (talk) 23:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC) Alexandros GrigoropoulosUh, yeah, I'm the one that requested editor intervention.

Despite being mentioned in the first reports as an 'official police statement', it was actually a leak that later proved to be false. It was the first account of the events as told by the police guard. In his statement to the court he makes no mention to a petrol bomb and refers being attacked by "rocks, bottles, and other objects."(he wouldn't obviously forget a petrol bomb, would he? This is reported by eleftheros tipos(mainstream, conservative newspaper [4]). The radio conversation records released by the police also disproves this claim as mentioned in this article by elefthorotipia(again mainstream, left-wing newspaper [5], 3rd paragraph reads "no molotovs were thrown, there was no danger, only minor damages to the police car"). Unfortunately I couldn't find any sources in english, but you can run the articles through google's translate or ask a greek-speaking admin to verify my translation. As you can understand, this defamatory remark is causing some stirrup among greek wikipedia readers. I hope you can accept that the whole claim is at least controversial, and remove it ASAP.79.103.215.60 (talk) 13:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC) Emergency contraceptionThe zenit source does mention emergency contraception : see end of part 2 on New forms of interception and contragestation. Read carefully, it talks about 2 things : new types of female contraceptives that are BEFORE conception (such as female condoms) and AFTER conception (such as morning after pills). The part about moment of pregnancy is different, it does not come from the contemporary zenit source, but comes from the position taken in 1968 in Humane Vitae : Paul VI said rather clearly that life began at conception, and that it was wrong to separate sex from procreation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.225.194 (talk) 22:36, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
WarningI can offer no serious defence, having lost my cool over this issue more than once. JJJ999 has reverted 5 different editors. Not just myself. Dynablaster (talk) 02:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Correction: JJJ999 has reverted 4 different editors, not 5, including myself. Their edits had nothing to do with the content dispute. User Coruscant wanted to alert other editors to an untidy section, where two lines of text had been repeated. JJJ999 reverted him (diff) before accusing me, falsely, of using a sock puppet. User:HairyWombat was bold and simply proceeded to remove one of the duplicated passages. JJJ999 reverted him. (diff) User:Themeatpopsicle's only crime was to remove long-unsourced statements from the article. JJJ999 reverted him (diff), accusing him of borderline vandalism, before accusing me, falsely, once more, of using a sock puppet. I will not litter your talk page further.

I didn't think that I used Rollback in the previously mentioned edit war and just the undo feature, I apologize if I did use Rollback. Per the unfortunate edit war itself, another admin pointed me to the Dispute resolution page. I tried negotiating a truce but that didn't work out, I referred one of the disputed edits for third opinions and that's going OK. I'm looking for some form of mediation where Spotfixer and I could present our sides, see which version of the edits should stay and then both move on but I'm having a hard time finding one.

New categoryI want create category: "New Testament manuscripts" for articles like CSNTM, INTF, Family 1, Family 13, Jerusalem Colophon. The articles f1, f13 use wrong category for now (Category:New Testament text-types). They are not text-types, but sub-families of one of text-type. In that case Category:Caesarean text-type can be usefull, but I do not think we need multiply Categories. Category "Manuscripts of New Testament" will usefull for collections of NT manuscripts. I am intending to create several articles about families and subfamilies of manuscripts (like Family Π, "Family 1424" and other in impossible to immagine the future). These articles will need "Category:New Testament manuscripts". Of course we can create "families of New Testament manuscripts", but what we can do with articles Jerusalem Colophon, CSNTM, INTF, and other articles which still do not have precise categories. If you agreed with me do not answer. I will create tomorrow. With regards. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 20:09, 30 December 2008 (UTC) Edit warringHello Andrew, I just want to let you know the other editor is going from article to article removing swaths of images. I understand that the removal of images that violate WP:NFCC is important, however he is not looking at the context the images are being used in and just deleting all images claiming galleries of NFCC are not allowed. He happed to do this on two articles I work on. After the second removal by ESkog, I responded on the talk page why I believe that the removal was improper and why the images comply with WP:NFCC. The Dairy Queen article had been edited at some time in the past and the reasons explaining why the gallery of logos was there had been removed. I restored the content and re-added the line back in to avoid further misunderstandings. About the McD' and Wendy's comment in the BK products article, I removed it. --Jeremy ( Blah blah...) 05:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
