I've done something!

Good news, Sean! I completed my first article in a year and a half! All it took was a few days of heavy typing and constant saving. Sorry about erasing your table of my userboxes; it didn't fit the method to my madness. By the way, if there is anything I can do for you edit-wise, just ask.--SuperWikiman 21:33, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:CURRENTHOUR

I noticed that you created Template:CURRENTHOUR today. Per this discussion back in September, the template was deleted. Now that there is a Parser Function for the same output, this template serves no visible purpose. I have tagged it for speedy deletion. Just thought I'd let you know. ^demon^[omg plz] 20:06, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem, it's always best to explain your decisions with as much detail as possible. Have a great day :-) ^demon^[omg plz] 20:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Your edit to the VP userbox

Hey

Just thought I'd let you know that your edit to the VP userbox by creating a redirect has probably broken a few people's user pages (like mine). Could you arrange for a bot or AWB to modify the link to the template so that it's no longer a redirect on people's userpages? Cheers. The Rambling Man 16:29, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

The redirect list is lengthy... it's here. The Rambling Man 16:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know that it didn't just link to the template. But as I've no experience with bots, I'll just go in and do it manually. Blast 21.03.07 1959 (UTC)

Yes, you have broken the box on the 450+ user pages that use {{User:UBX/VandalProof}} by creating a double redirect. Please be more careful next time, and you might find User:MetsBot useful. mattbr 17:13, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

RPC and integration of church and state

According to the constitution of the RPCNA, your edit of Separation of Church and State was wrong. RPCNA Constitution, on page A-71 (PDF page 76), point 7. I'd recommend reading that whole section on the Civil Magistrate for details.

Please be aware that unification of church and state means structural union. Either the state rules the church (see Anglicanism, and the stuff John Knox was fighting against), or the church rules the state (see Catholicism, etc).

As I understand it, RPs are in favour of the state becoming Christian, but remaining structurally separate, at least in the RPCNA. I'm not 100% sure this is the historical position; for that, you'd need to look at eg. the Solemn League and Covenant. I'm guessing you're not going in for the historical position that much, as the historical RP position is a non-voting position (well, voting in any country that accepts the Solemn League and Covenant :) ).

(Oh, and if you think I'm right, you might want to change your userbox :) )

HTH,
