Can anyone tell me how to format my page so that all my templates line up and are not just all over the place? There's already a redirect at LCMS to the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. Please don't keep creating one at (LCMS). Thanks, NawlinWiki 00:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Lutheran High School

BenW -

I am the primary author of the Baltimore Lutheran School page. I am thinking about starting a page for all Lutheran High Schools in North America and kind of making a project for the various schools to edit their wikipedia entries. I would like for "Lutheran High School" to be the base page, but I noticed that you created Lutheran High of LaVerne CA at that place. Since you are basically the only author, I didn't think I really needed to get "consensus" to do something like move the current page to something Like LaVerne Lutheran High School (or whatever you think appropriate), just your agreement should be enough. Let me know what you think on my talk page.

Thanks.

Benke article

As a heavy editor on the List of preachers article, I divided the ministers by denomination. I included David Benke for the issue was still fresh in my mind. The link to his name was red for the longest time. I noticed today that someone had created an article. Bravo!

The Lutheran setion of the list is rather sparse, just listing Martin Luther, C. F. W. Walther, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Ken Klaus, and David Benke.

When I began editing the list the ministers were listed in order alphabetically. I dividided the list into denominations and listed the ministers chronologically from date of birth.

As a Baptist, I am more familiar with the Baptist and other reformed ministers and theologians. If you could help expand the the list I'd be grateful.

Transformers

Hey, Ben. I removed your contribution to this film article because 1) it did not have a citation and 2) such information cannot be written so generally. It's not notable to include information about the fans' reaction to certain aspects of production unless that reaction has been noted by mainstream media. For example, if a national newspaper mentioned the reaction, that could be included. This method assures that such information is recognized because there are often many different opinions found on Internet forums, which makes it difficult to measure the actual relevance outside of these sites. Hope you understand! —Erik (talk • contrib • review) - 16:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

James Dobson

Hi, Could you explain why it is point of view to add a referenced fact that James Dobson has grown rich through sales of books and publications that his nonprofit organization promotes? It is true! and referenced! What more do you need? Hiding facts is unethical and wrong!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.237.73.146 (talk) 03:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Anti-abortion violence

Hi BenW, you mentioned on the Anti-abortion violence talk page that you tried to make a pro-abortion violence page but it was deleted. Can you give me the links to the old article and the deletion logs if possible? I'd like to try creating the article again if we can. Thanks! NYyankees51 (talk) 18:08, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
