Replaceable fair use Image:Michael_Horton.jpg Thanks for uploading Image:Michael_Horton.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

FatherRather shows, like "pope" below, and the general condescending tone, the strong POV of your source, does it not? Johnbod (talk) 18:48, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Orthodoxy and alcoholPhiddipus and the other users cover the topic well. Moderation is (obviously, in line with scripture) always encouraged, but drinking itself is not frowned upon. There are little traditions here and there which involve alcoholic drinks. This article contains a modern treatment of alcoholism and addiction, but briefly elaborates on the history of moderation and the views of the church (and cites a canon or two concerning priestly behavior). It's difficult to find direct treatments on the subject, because most sermons and encyclicals are devoted towards a general abstinence from sin (drunkeness being considered among those). The Orthodox Christian information center touches on the subject here where it notes the prohibition against festivities on the eve of a holy day (which includes the normal Sunday) and relates a Tsar's prohibition against drunkenness and the sale of wine on Sundays. This identifies drunkenness amongst the mortal sins (see the footnote). This is what I've come up with from a quick search. I'll contact my priest and see if there is anything more official or historical on the matter, and if there are any books which can be referenced. I hope that this may have been of some help for now.--C.Logan (talk) 22:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC) Great welcome?Thanks for sending me the welcome package.

SpeahlmanFlex, as you may have noticed, I joined the CalvinismProject some time ago. At the moment, I'm having problems with getting the draft of an article on "Tolerance and Intolerance in the History of Protestantism" accepted. Could you help? I would be very grateful. I think the topic is worth being written about in Wikipedia. The draft is in my Sandbox. Speahlman (talk) 19:15, 19 May 2015 (UTC) WikiProject Christianity NewsletterCatholic view on bible inpirationThe piece that I deleted is quoting as its source the encyclical Providentissimus Deus, from Leo XIII, 1893. (There's a boxed quote also from Vatican I, but the primary quote is Providentissimus Deus). This represents a period in Church history when Leo was attempting to reject all modernity - you'll recall the famous quote to the effect that the Church has no need to accommodate itself to the modern world. The Church never directly disavows any encyclical, but it can come awfully close. It did this in 1943 with the encyclical Divino Afflante Spiritu of Pius XII, which effectively reversed Leo's directives on the subject of biblical scholarship and, inevitably, biblical inspiration. Divino Afflante says in effect that the bible has many authors and that Catholic scholars should study the times in which they lived and the context in which they wrote - a far cry from Prov.'s insistence on the purely divine origins of scripture. As I mention, the Vatican never expressly contradicts earlier pronouncements, and so the language of Afflante is a little obscure - it speaks of "the biblical author," for example, leaving open the possibility that there is but one author - but in the context of the times (1943) it was clearly intended as a move beyond Leo's obscurantism. So far as I know, there's been no subsequent encyclical on the subject, and Afflenate represents the Church's current stance on the issue. (You're free to revert my deletion if you wish, I don't want to get involved in an edit war over this minor matter) PiCo (talk) 16:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Deleted linkOrenwhite (talk) 13:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC) Hi Flex, is there any special reason you have removed the external link i've added (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biblical_theology&oldid=215465326) which is a free bible dictionary? do you find it unrelated to the subject?

Hi, thank you for providing a reference. I'm particularly interested in the usage of the term "British Isles" in this article.

Lord FaulknerI provided his autobiography, Memoirs of a Statesman, as a reference. He makes numerous allusions to it there; how glad he was to see apple juice, rather than orange and an amusing incident in which he was almost photographed holding a bottle of mead after the Darlington Conference. --Counter-revolutionary (talk) 18:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC) WikiProject Christianity Newsletter
Deleted LinkI wasn't advertising anything, I have no connection with the Bible Presbyterian Church (about which I had been reading on Wikipedia) or the pictures - I merely thought they showed the impressive scale of McIntire's church building and the startling emphasis given by the Bible text at the front "Be Ye Separate". I used to enjoy editing on Wikipedia 2 or 3 years back, it was a serendipitous place where anyone could edit - now it's like a university. Now on the odd occasions that I contribute something it often gets "vandalised" by the "know-it-alls" :-( Editing has become only available for the anoraks for whom it is a full time occupation and therefore know how to follow the numerous new "rules" and avoid being reverted. What a sad end for an enjoyable project! --PeterR (talk) 16:29, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
NamesYou can revert them back if you think the other version is better. If you do, make the fullname a redirect back to the truncated name. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 00:04, 16 June 2008 (UTC) Mary mergerI'm not sure what I think, either for or against the proposal. Each of the articles seems to be written in a kind of thesis style, rather than Wikipedia style. They may be mergeable, but I think it would be a challenge. — Mark (Mkmcconn) ** 22:19, 16 June 2008 (UTC) Too many quotesAs mentioned before, your article on alcohol article has strong points and shortcomings. It contains too many quotations for an encyclopedic entry. I refer especially to sentences with up to 10 quotes. I am surprised that you have similar problems with the Luther article, which, I might emphasize, has far less quotations per sentence the the alcohol article. I am sure, all this can be worked out. Nothing personal! --Ambrosius007 (talk) 14:29, 25 June 2008 (UTC) HeadingsWell, I really don't care about headings that much. It probably looked better to me that way, but I am not one to dig into deatils of Wikimanuals on section titles. If you think yours are more suitable, please feel free to change them back. No big deal really. By the way, I was just about to make changes to Roman Catholic Mariology. Could you please make your changes in 1 hour from now, so you can fix all the headings the right way if you like and we will not get locked out for edit over-writes. Cheers.

He continuously changes the number of species at Xenotilapia but will not respond to requests to discuss the matter. I reported the user at Admin intervention against vandalism -- but was told this was a content dispute I should try and discuss to reach a consensus. I would be more than happy to discuss the issue with this user and will happily accept the change if the user in question can proviede a valid reference for their changes. They, however, won't respond. I'd appreciate your thoughts on the matter given you've dealt with this user before @ User_talk:69.232.79.247. Thanks in advance, MidgleyDJ (talk) 02:59, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
That's the odd thing. This user does know seem to have some knowledge of fish (see: this) and a good portion of his changes are constructive. I do not understand why he will not communicate (he's been asked many, many times). Fishbase is used as the taxonomy tool of choice (when no other species lists etc or review papers in fish taxonomy are available that supersede it). In this case, Fishbase says "17 species" I don't have a reference to contradict this -- and would be happy to accept one if it's available). MidgleyDJ (talk) 20:42, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Flex, Thanks. I'll try that. How long should I leave the tag in place? MidgleyDJ (talk) 22:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Flex - The user has made the change again (no reference). Given the current reference doesn't reflect that number I've removed it from the article. I've done as you've suggested and asked for a suitable reference? Thanks for your help, MidgleyDJ (talk) 00:15, 5 July 2008 (UTC) Hi Flex - I note that this user has returned and made undiscussed edits to the Greg_Bahnsen article to the point where they (he, I think based on their one registered username) have been blocked. In my experience with this user when he becomes unblocked he will likely return and continue to make the same changes without discussion. I think it's probably sensible to return the verifiable number of Xenotilapia species (and their appropriate reference) to the article? Does this sound ok? MidgleyDJ (talk) 20:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Flex -- I note this user continues to vandalise Greg Bahnsen, he's also turned his attention now to Teleocichla where he adds an addition "and X number of undescribed species" repeatedly and without discussion ala his David Arnold addition. Unlike the previous problem with Xenotilapia this is a clear breach of WP:OR (as there may be 5, 6 or 47 undescribed species for any given genus -- given they are undescribed!). I'd have though this user would qualify for longer bans given their track record and block evasion. MidgleyDJ (talk) 23:03, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
re Mergers of Marian articlesHello, Flex, you do not need to make any explanations about your desire to streamline these articles. You and I are on the same page. I posted on Ambrosius's talk page that I didn't like the practice of merging that some editors pursue like the guy on the Martin Luther article, who insisted on merging the articles on Luther's father and mother. I see WP as both a Macropedia and a Micropedia: having short articles and long articles. I think that your concern is in not duplicating material: I think that there is the danger now as I looked at Protestant views of Mary of duplicating material in the general article that one finds in the particular articles. I support whatever you propose as I did on the talk page. I appreciate your invitations to me to work on these articles, and I also appreciate your knowledge about WP principles that should be followed. I guess, that if I would take the time to read them more extensively I would not make so many mistakes. Please consider me a good friend and fellow editor.--Drboisclair (talk) 00:27, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Thanks for recommending that book about Mary. I may get it from Amazon.com.

I think you already know this, though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.138.240.15 (talk) 23:57, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for clarifying at my talk page as I requested. I see that you are correct, a policy does state this explicitly and it does make sense. I also appreciate that you've left the current redlink in place. I'll fill it in today. I was surprised that the Book Review policy is against tables of contents, though the way it puts it, it would appear that there is plenty of room for common sense exceptions. Festschriften and other collections of essays naturally lend themselves to some concise system of organizing the information. Run-of-the-mill book reviews don't need to specify different authors for different chapters! ;) In the current case, it's easy to follow the letter of the law and expand the material to full text, since the structure of the total work is very clear. Additionally, the table can also be turned neatly into a collapsing nav tool. Ultimately, all the material in the table will need to be in the article, simply for the sake of acknowledgement and referencing. You have a very detailed knowledge of specifics of policy, which is a helpful resource to have around, thanks. Since policy regularly explicitly admits exceptions on the basis of clarity of content we may yet find ourselves needing to discuss some issue in more detail, but I'm content to accept the points you've raised so far, especially as they simply invite more material to be included.

I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC).

It may take a week or so to think of good headings. You were right that there were too many of them, but I think a middle ground to it can probably be found.

Anniversary of John CalvinHi Flex, As you know, I have been working on improving the biographies of various characters of the Reformation (Knox, Zwingli, Cranmer, and now working on Martin Bucer) to FA status. Someone reminded me, however, that the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth is coming up next year. This got me interested in taking up this project. I noticed that you were the major editor of the article taking the article to GA. Would you mind if I try to take the article to FA? I should mention that I'd like to expand the biography and merge the Reformed Geneva section into the Biography section. I intend to use modern sources for the rewrite. The Thoughts and Writings sections would be left intact and I would probably add a Legacy section. If you have plans on Calvin, however, I would gladly just go back to working on Bucer and other reformers. Just drop me a note on my talk page. --RelHistBuff (talk) 09:51, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
Gunton discussionPlease see this. Gunton82 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC). www.book-academy.co.uk- external links on various articlesDear Flex I have not visited Wikipedia in some time but noticed on a recent visit that external links that I had placed on various articles on the leading Puritans had been removed by MER-C. I noticed that you had appealed to him to reinstate some of these, but he was convinced that these links were spam and therefore they were left omitted. I wrote to him recently on his talk page and it appears that his main objection was that I was the one who had placed them there and that in his mind (irrespective of how relevant those links were) it constitutes a conflict of interest (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MER-C#external_links_to_www.book-academy.co.uk). Since I am not allowed to reinstate the links, can you help in this? Sadly, in his zeal he has also removed the link from the "Spurgeon" article, even though I had nothing to do with placing the external link on that article, and since there is no other site known to me which gives access to so many of Spurgeon recommended commentaries I do feel that its removal is rather sad. The puritan links that were removed are all highlighted at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/LinkReports/book-academy.co.uk If you can do anything to help, it would be much appreciated.

I am not sure of several of these, e.g., "one of its members, Ami Perrin," "a widow, Idelette de Bure," "the leading reformers of Strasbourg, Martin Bucer and Wolfgang Capito," "his predecessors, Philipp Melanchthon, Heinrich Bullinger, and Martin Bucer," They all seem to be non-restrictive and so they should not have delimiting commas. But then the sentence structure looks awfully strange. --RelHistBuff (talk) 23:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

New topicsIs it wise to add new material during the FAC phase? I am referring to the last paragraph of the Legacy section and the last sentence of the lead section.

From the Editor This month marks the observation of Pentecost, one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones. Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s Outreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media! With that, I wish you all happy reading! John Carter, Asst. Editor P.S.

Help Bring Wikipe-tan "into the fold" As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here. By John Carter Christianity in other wikis By John Carter Spotlight on the Outreach department.jpeg) Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter. The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity. Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

Anyone interested in assisting with the development of these groups and topics is more than welcome to do so. By John Carter I believe... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: Karl Behm, which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article Nerses IV the Gracious. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.
Featured content and GA report
 Wikinews is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.
 One of our newer editors, User:David_FLXD, has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the Methodism work group to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality.

Featured content and GA report Wikimedia Foundation report  As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Wikipedia has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks. Christian art 
 WikiProject Calvinism is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, Congregational church, Reformed Baptists, and Low church. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.

Featured content and GA report Christian art  Spotlight  WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

Featured content and GA report Christian art  Spotlight  The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.

Featured content and GA report Christian art  Spotlight  In the spirit of Christmas, the spotlight for the coming month might actually best be on those people closest to you. We know that a lot of our editors here are associated in some way or another with schools, and many if not most of them are going on rather extended breaks for the holidays. This can give some of us a chance to meet up with old friends, spend time with our families and those close to us, and, in a sense, "recharge" for the new year. So, for all of you who are in some way part of that group, we wish you the very best of holidays. We hope you all return to editing after the holidays with your spirits lifted and with your energies at peak level. There are some small matters in development here as well, and it is our hope that some of them will be ready come the next newsletter. But, until then, we wish you all the happiest and holiest (if appropriate) holidays.

Christian art _-_Google_Art_Project_-_edited.jpg) This image was created by User:Dcoetzee. Thank you, Dcoetzee! Spotlight  The Spotlight this month turns to the the Syriac Christianity work group. The scope of this project includes the various traditions of Syriac Christianity, including the Assyrian Church of the East, Ancient Church of the East, Church of the East, Syriac Orthodox Church, Chaldean Catholic Church, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, Melkite Greek Catholic Church, Syriac Catholic Church, Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, and Saint Thomas Christians. One of these groups, the Assyrian Church of the East, is considered by scholars to have probably been, for several hundred years, the largest Christian grouping in the planet, with its numerous members in Central Asia and Eastern Asia. Numerous texts, traditions, and practices unique to these groups exist, including the Jesus Sutras and the belief of the Assyrian Church of the East that the bread they use in the preparation of their Eucharist uses the same basic yeast as that used in the bread of the Last Supper itself. Sadly, given the linguistic barriers to much of the content relative to these groups, and the comparative lack of notoriety they have in the Western world, much of this content does receive less attenion, and thus less development, than much other content. There is a large amount of extremely valuable historical material here still waiting to be adequately developed by editors with an interest in the topic, and I personally very much hope that we can draw more attention to these topics, and the content related to them.

Concern for Frame articleI likely share your deepest of perspectives, but may have less patience for rule violations; in my opinion, the majority of content at the John Frame article needs to be removed, because it was added as plagiarism or WP:OR, in two large, earlier unlogged/IP edits (see Talk, section entitled "I give up"). But you have history there, and I do not, so I look to you to take the initiaitve—moving that content to Talk, and starting over, adding it back only piece by piece, when authoritative sources can be found to support it.

Removing Image source problem with File:CraniumTurbo.jpgThank you for uploading File:CraniumTurbo.jpg. This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work. While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:37, 15 February 2021 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Francis Schaeffer.jpg Thanks for uploading File:Francis Schaeffer.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
