Speedy deletion nomination of Alex Fevola

A tag has been placed on Alex Fevola requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 02:09, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:55, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Ciao, I'm writing an article on Porcius Festus in Italian wiki and I found this picture. You say that the figure shows Porcius in red. Are you sure? Could it be that the figure shows the interview of Paul by Agrippa and Bernice? In fact, the stained glass window in St Paul's Cathedral, is very similar to this painting that shows Agrippa and Berenice both seated on thrones that listening to Paul. Let me know what you think of this idea. Regards. --Mario1952 (talk) 09:51, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

List of compositions with unusual key relationships

That definition describes something that's entirely trivial — countless works contain key changes that are "unusual" by that definition. The "standard" key change it refers to is something like C major to A minor or C major to C minor; the "unusual" key changes are a dime a bazillion.

Ascension of Jesus

Hello StAnselm, It's been awhile since we've "met" in an article. There was an edit conflict between us just now, and I was unable by comparing to see what the differences were. Your edit box note gives me the impression it was a couple of fairly minor moves of templates. Please re-check and replace your changes for me. I would also appreciate your reviewing the changes I've made to ==Biblical accounts==. They are basically two-fold: 1) There was duplication of material from the Lead to Biblical accounts; 2) I think having all biblical accounts in one place is preferable. 3) A few cleanups to the text in this area, as well as bulleted list to make it easier to find the NT references. Thanks for your help, and again...sorry for obliterating your template moves. ─AFA Prof01 (talk) 00:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Please - when creating new stubs - the effort to find a ref as per WP:RS is surely equal to the effort of creating the stub?

OK so you come from tasmania - in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Northern_Tasmania - I put in the qualifier In some regionalisations of Tasmania - the use of Category:North West Tasmania and Category:North East Tasmania excludes the usage of Northern Tasmania - which in turn reflects on your hotcat change of Devonport category - some regionalisations would argue Devonport is not north west at all - and is northern - personally I would leave Devonport in Northern and North western as there are so many different regional schemas - from memory the Federal and Tas government instrumentalities each have their own ways of drawing the line SatuSuro 00:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

The Name Samuel in the Samuel Article

I added the Strong's spelling with the other spellings at the top so that it does not take up much space and it the logical location anyway. I hope this is acceptable to you "StAnselm". 99.56.174.63 (talk) 02:14, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

P.S. Have you noticed the simularities of the name Samael to Samuel? Since Samuel is not the real pronunciation it is logical to conclude that it also has another meaning other then "Shemuwel" which means "Heard by God". Yes Samuel has the same meaning as Samael which means "Venum of God". No wonder Sammy Davis Jr felt compelled to join the Church of Satan but before he died denounced them for Jesus (Yeshuwa). Samael is said to be an archangel that is often viewed as being Satan. Something to think about. Better to choose the spelling Shemuwel or Shemuel when naming a son. 99.56.174.63 (talk) 02:42, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hey I noticed in the Samuel article that "Samuel" is Latin. Were the Latinese deliberatly trying to honor and worship Samael by changing Shemuwel to Samuel? It would appear so because the Samael article reveals that Samael was a patron of the Roman empire. Interesting. 99.56.174.63 (talk) 07:31, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Your deletions of content and academic references

St. Anselm. As this concerns two pages Martin Luther and Soul sleep I make a more private appeal here on User Talk. You have now been repeatedly requested to desist from wholesale deletes of academic references. But on return home I note that after your twofold substantial deletions Soul sleep you have instead of putting back the original text and references for discussion you have instead started filling the gaps with references of your own, as here: current state. And then have gone on to Martin Luther to do similar. Apart from the specific issue of having been repeatedly requested to first discuss, should you really be editing/deleting reference source tests in Latin and German which you cannot read?

• You have replaced:

(ORIGINAL REF) "Denn dass Luther mit den Worten "anima non sic dormit, sed vigilat et patitur visiones, loquelas Angelorum et Dei" nicht dasjenige leugnen will, was er an allen andern Stellen seiner Schriften vortragt" in Zeitschrift für die gesammte lutherische Theologie und Kirche p657

• with:

(YOUR EDIT) In his Lectures on Genesis, Luther suggested that "in the sleep of death the soul experiences visions and the discourses of God. It sleeps in the bosom of Christ, as a mother brings an infant into a crib. The time flies in this sleep, just as an evening passes in an instant as we sleep soundly." Mark Ellingsen argues that Luther is here trying to "take into account those New Testament texts suggesting that the dead have an active life with God." ref Mark Ellingsen, Reclaiming Our Roots: Martin Luther to Martin Luther King (1999), p. 64. ref.

• Two immediate problems here. Firstly Luther does not say that (the paragraph is a string of recognisable quotes some translated correctly some not), Secondly Mark Ellingsen does not say that Ellingsen says "consequently he claimed that..." it's Ellingsen's paraphrase, he doesn't represent it as a quote/translation as you have done. But the bigger problem is a third; while I appreciate that an English ref is more use than Latin original and commentary by a German Lutheran theologian for most readers, why would anyone think that deleting the Latin/German and adding a paraphrase by the author of When did Jesus become Republican? was a better reference? And why should someone who can't read the quotes they are deleting be the person doing the deleting when others have requested him to stop? And you don't seem to have even a basic familiarity with the subject you are making deletions on. Shouldn't you read up first, then edit? Please don't take it personally, but sorry, don't really know how else to put it. Anyway, making a personal appeal here to restore all the content and academic references you have deleted and then discuss. Thanks In ictu oculi (talk) 16:48, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

The main point with the Luther section is No original research. For disputed translations that has to include the actual translation. WP:ETRANS says "Where English translations of non-English material are unavailable, editors may supply their own, subject to consensus." Well, there are English translations available of Luther. We can compare different translations of Luther, but we are not allowed to say which one is correct. Hence, "Francis Blackburne argues that John Jortin misread Luther", etc. As far as the text of Fritschel goes, what is currently in the Martin Luther article is fine: a translation of his German text, with the original in the footnote. In the soul sleep article, however, I deleted it because of the vague POV claim that "Latin works have occasionally been misread in English translation" and that "they confirm that for Luther the sleep of the dead was unconscious" (again POV - this is just Fritschel's opinion). We can have these quotes in, as long as this is made clear. With the Ellingsen quote, I was just using what was provided on the talk page. Ideally, we have the text of Luther's Lectures in Genesis from a good translation, plus commentary - from a couple of sources if there is a dispute about what Luther actually said or meant.

St. Anselm. As regards the minor detail - You may recall that said yourself on the talk page after your repeated deletion in relation to this specific reference that you had not read it: (you said "Put up your hands if anyone has read Fritschel" OWTTE). And yet the text was there in the ref you deleted, but you couldn't read it, because you evidently don't understand either Latin or German. So you - after having been asked not to on the talk page - again deleted a text you couldn't read, from a German-born Lutheran academic, and later - again after having been asked not to - replaced it with a English paraphrase (and mistranslation) from a populist Evangelical author who clearly can't either Latin or German either.

But this is a detail and by the by, I'm only responding with 1% of your deletions because in this case it happens to be my ref. As far as I can see the same pattern is followed by your giant deletions of history and historical references because the article had "Too many references" OWTTE. And contains books you hadn't read. How can someone consider themselves an expert competent to delete over 100 academic references from a historical article when they haven't read even the basic texts?

Are we going to have to get page protection for the Luther related articles? You seem unwilling to let a German speaking Lutheran academic have weight over US fundamentalists with no refs/sources? here. You seem unwilling to accept that someone who cannot read the references (yourself) shouldn't be editing them. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

List of biblical/Biblical X articles

Right I have posted to WP:RM asking for help moving these pages. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:16, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Birth dates

Most of the recent ones are from sources already in the reference list that have been updated; some are not in the reference list yet, but will be soon when the citations are changed. The relevant sites will change address when the result is announced anyway, so it makes sense to properly fix them after that. Frickeg (talk) 10:46, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thanks for your ongoing helpful edits to some pages I watch. I always know when I see your moniker in the history list that I'm not going to have to undo any scurrilous vandalism...and I might actually learn something, too! Kyriosity (talk) 21:56, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
