Copper Scroll

Thanks for all the improvements you have made to this article. Frankly, I didn't think there could be anything new at all. Changes make me nervous since (in the past), they have usually come as the result of a History Channel program which is pretty far out. If it has been up to me, i would have permanently locked the article!  :) But your changes have definitely enhanced the article. There is a small problem with naming an author who himself has no article which I have discussed on the talk page.

Thanks again! Student7 (talk) 15:03, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Look. Here is the problem. If we allow nn editors to clutter supposedly "factual" articles with nn authors and have to argue them each out one by one within each quotable article, we might as well throw in the towel on Wikipedia. It will be the end. You have made important contributions to this article which has had almost no important contributions in a very long time. Can you let it go at that and rest on your laurels? It will be so much easier. The next step is for me to request a second opinion. The opinion of the other guy is maybe not worth much. I will have to take this to mediation and failing that to arbitration.

We already have a mechanism for determining notability. It is called creating a new biography. If it survives the scrutiny of other knowledgeable editors, then he is then "notable."

It would be so much easier and spare us all a lot of work, if you would just stub out (or whatever) this supposed genius. It would also be nice to tell us why he alone of all geniuses has to clutter the article when we are mainly interested in the Copper Scroll and not people, but that, at least is a secondary issue.

Greenfield

Can you add some meat to the Jonas Greenfield article stub?--Ihutchesson (talk) 20:29, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Qumran

Hello. Your most recent edit to qumran was justified by saying that material is included by default. This is not true, the policy is "be BOLD, revert, discuss" WP:BRD. You were bold by inserting the material, but another editor reverted it, so now both of you should discuss it and find an acceptable solution before continuing. It seems like you were unaware of this policy, so I won't accuse you of edit warring, but some editors might interpret it that way.

It is likely that both of you will have to compromise on the material, rather than seeing it as a yes or no situation. My recommendation to you is to figure out what the other editor's objections are, and modify the material accordingly, rather than re-adding the same material. --Elplatt (talk) 17:23, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Limerick

Hey, that's a discovery! How'd you happen across so obcure a reference? Nice job! DavidOaks (talk) 16:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Orion links

Coralapus, could you please put Orion material in the Orion article which is linked to at the bottom over every DSS related article? And could you stop posting those links to your materials where they do not belong? They are not directly related to the site. You know that. Be good. I have attempted to to deal with the issue on the Discussion page for Qumran, but you don't seem to have read it. -- Ihutchesson (talk) 13:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Alexander Jannaeus may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Your recent editing history at Portraits of Shakespeare shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:42, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
