Holy Fire

Thanks. I saw that edit but was unable to decide what to do with it. I see it could use some copyediting at the very least. The editor who inserted it also didn't seem to understand that he was contradicting the "criticism" already present and that he was altering the context of a footnote. I suppose I could at least add a {{fact}}, although I was trying to assume good faith and it's not a well-footnoted article otherwise. There are obvious counterarguments, since this is one more demonstration of a possible mechanism that doesn't match the way things are done -- the patriarch's candles are sealed into the tomb several hours prior, and pilgrims' candles are purchased from street vendors an unpredictable amount of time before the ceremony -- but if I were to point this out it would be correctly identified as original research. Perhaps this has been said by someone citable, but it would be in Greek and I don't have access to Greek sources. TCC (talk) (contribs) 09:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. I had a look at the deleted content of Antiochian Village; it was, in its entirety, "The Antiochian Village is a Camp and a Conference & Retreat Center situated in the Laurel Highlands of Southwestern Pennsylvania. The Antiochian Village Camp was founded in 1978 and is annually visited by children and adults for many different occasions including summer camp, winter camp, family camp, and Sacred Arts camp." I'm afraid I deleted this more than 14 months ago and can't recall the circumstances, but if you think there is sufficient notability to justify an article, by all means go ahead. If there's something I can do to help, let me know. Accounting4Taste:talk 00:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Antiochian Village

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Antiochian Village, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.orthodoxwiki.org/Antiochian_Village. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
