A shame

that you don't see the difference between more information and original research.

(bana), which is the Hebrew common and ubiquitous verb meaning to build, but which seems to be closely related to the noun (ben), meaning son.

In no way does that say that 'Benaiah' means son. It clearly states 'Bana' is closely related to the word son. Not sure if its clear, but 'Benaiah' and 'Bana' are not the same word. You are being overzealous in your removal of information. -- Avanu (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

List of Strict Baptist churches

Hi StAnselm, My reason for contacting you is the following:

I've made a (complete) list of Strict Baptist churches, maybe it's interesting for you! But the list has been removed by Novaseminary. Could you have a look? Thanks in advance for your trouble! Ouddorp (talk) 10:30, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

• Just a heads-up – you're missing sources for: Elleray 1981; Ford & Gabe 1981; Kirkham 2000; Chambers 1953; Homan 1997. I dunno if that's why Novaseminary takes issue with your list, but you should fix those anyhow. – Ling.Nut3 (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Declaration (book)

I have declined your A7 speedy deletion request of Declaration (book). A7 only applies to people, individual animals, organizations, and web content. As this is a book (even though it's an electronic book), it is not eligible for A7, which is intentionally left to only specific types of subjects.

Newfrontiers and spiritual abuse

Hello. I see you have removed the paragraph mentioning spiritual abuse from the Newfrontiers article.

I don't want this to become an edit war. I would like to see more balance in an article that reads for the most part like an advert and I am hoping a compromise can be achieved.

I really don't see how the deleted text is any more 'unsourced editorialising' than this text: "suggesting their personality type also has significant strengths", which you have not deleted.

My suggestion is that the sub-title "Analysis of Newfrontiers elders" is deleted along with everything after the first quote from the Journal of Beliefs and Values. This leaves a properly sourced quote to support the "Criticism" section.EutychusFr (talk) 05:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Your recent editing history 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. Stating "Please don't edit war" whilst engaged in edit-warring is ludicrously WP:POT. No, it is not a "controversial edit", it is supported by WP:LEDE, WP:FRINGE and ARBCOMM rulings on pseudoscience. Further, unless and until you can come up with (i) other editors who agree with you and/or a better argument than simple argument by assertion that it's "controversial".

No, I have no desire to make any further efforts to make English unit of Wiki any informative due to arrogant and silly policy of a bunch of editors.

Pages

Hi, As of June 2012 I will be semi-retiring from Wikipedia. I will still watch a few pages every day or two, but not watch many pages every day as before.

Could I ask you to occasionally watch a few more pages that have good referenced content and should really be saved from vandalism, fringe views, sudden mergers, etc.? I think you already watch a few of these, but here is a list in any case:

• Jesus has been stable for a year and is fully referenced. I even took out referenced based on suggestions, but it is stable "because it has so many references". The last big debate was about calling Jesus Palestinian or Jewish, etc. But that is over now once it was pointed out that it was a political issue more than anything else. The magnet for debate there is the regularly scheduled talk page comment that Jesus did not really exist. That has been discussed on talk many, many times and it usually ends with the demand: "per WP:RS/AC, please provide a WP:RS source that says 'most historians hold that Jesus did not exist' instead of arguing about it here". The debate always stops after that.

• Crucifixion of Jesus: Again, pretty stable. And as above, the recurring talk page comment is that he was not crucified. And again there are clear WP:RS sources that say that 'most historians hold that Baptism and Crucifixion are beyond doubt'. And there are no WP:RS sources that say that most scholars hold the opposite. But the key issue here is not to mix these two events with other biblical episodes, for there are many historians who argue Marriage at Cana was not historical, etc. So the only two certain events that are subject to agreement are those two.

• Josephus on Jesus and Tacitus on Christ as well as Annals (Tacitus). These are three historically important pages. All three are fully referenced but frequently get large scale vandalism. They do need watching. Josephus on Jesus was the subject of a really long discussion and every possible aspect of it is now covered in the talk page archives. It has been researched in great detail and as questions come up the talk page archives almost always handle that.

• There is also Nativity of Jesus, Virgin birth of Jesus and Chronology of Jesus and I think you know New Testament places associated with Jesus.

Your help in watching these as your time allows will be greatly appreciated. And thank you for all the good interactions we have had in the past years. History2007 (talk) 15:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Journal of Theological Interpretation

Hi, this is not really my field, so I don't really know where to look, but you know this well: perhaps you can find out whether the journal is listed in selective reputable databases, so that we can establish notability according to WP:NJOURNALS (I know it's only an essay, but it would be a start). That would provide some independent sources so that we can get rid of the tags and would also strengthen your arguments in the related AfD. Thanks. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Jack Thomson - I give up.

Hi,

Im new to wikipedia and was just trying to put an article up for Jack Thomson was was the longest serving Town Clerk (which if you are in the USA is the same as a Major of a City) but the article get deleted and I cannot amend it to the criteria being asked. I guess if the same approach was taken then all the pages listed under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mayors_of_New_York_City should be deleted too. I admit the City of Doncaster and Templestowe has nothing like the population of new york city....but it would be 100 times larger in land area.

All the best, I guess Wikipedia is perhaps culturally selective.

Speedy deletion nomination of Marita Cheng

A tag has been placed on Marita Cheng 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Neutrality

thanks, I'm well aware of that. However, absent any specifics, I prefer not to have tags on an article. IMO the 'pedia is too full of tags anyway; articles can be improved without them and they look like crap. I realize there is dispute about tags such as this, but there is no general dispute about this article, there is one editor whose complaint is that an article on an organization he thinks poorly of, which is generally highly regarded by news sources, the FBI, etc, does not have "enough criticism" seems a bit pointy to me. Your opinion may vary. KillerChihuahua^?!? 10:43, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Presbyterian Church naming

Hi StAnselm, I would just like to ask why you are reverting untrue statements that I have changed relating to the expression Wee Frees. This is a term that journalists have never grasped the concept or origin of and continually use when referring to ANY branch of the Presbyterian church in Scotland, therefore citing poorly researched articles by the same journalists cannot be justified. Also the term "WEE WEE FREES" does not exist outside the mind of certain journalists, and is a phrase I have never heard uttered in the Western Isles.

Regarding a comment of yours I saw elsewhere... I recommend thinking carefully before starting any new RfCs on SPLC hate group listings.

3RR Warning

Your recent editing history at Family Research Council shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

The RFC.

I hope you realize that the RFC is against the WikiProject, not you. You're mentioned once by name, as an example of tag-team reverting by WikiProject members. The mention is factual and contains no uncivil remarks or personal attacks. The incident is also too stale for WP:3RRN to consider blocking anyone for (and, in fact, the reaction was to protect the page, not block individuals).

As such, I believe that you are overreacting by taking it personally. I'm StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 07:52, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

May I ask, is StAnselm even a member of the project? Because if he isn't, he probably shouldn't even be mentioned.

Response

In response to your question: More precisely I should have said WP:CIVIL rather than WP:AGF, except I think AGF is a better rule to live by. A lot of the time, breaches of CIVIL are implicit breaches of AGF anyways, because (essentially by definition) an uncivil statement is out of proportion to whatever perceived problem there may be.

About his statement, it was definitely ad hominem, although I would probably have just ignored it rather than template him. Was it a personal attack (a separate issue)? That's a loaded term so I wouldn't bother to use it; if it's not affecting article quality, and we've established that it's not relevant, then if there is a problem that's the job of an admin to decide. I'm not trying to equivocate, it's just a bit of my philosophy. I think it's on the milder side of what could be considered a personal attack, especially since you made a statement that could be reasonably interpreted as advocating "capital punishment for gays." And there are plenty of people who would react with complete moral outrage at that. To some extent I would as well, except that I think anger is generally unproductive.

For your last question, it seems to me (especially given your post to my talk page) that you're "fishing for diffs." If you are, I don't really want to be part of that, but let me take the statement just above your question: "This message is false twice. First, I didn't say anything uncivil. Second, you didn't remove anything. This is a waste of my time." The actual content of the statement is "I didn't say anything uncivil, and you didn't remove anything." The content is the only important part of the response, and once you've written that content and removed everything else, there's no room left for incivility anyways. But I will also suggest that almost everyone is doing this to some degree right now - e.g. you might check out your "on the other side of the coin" post that Still was responding to. But if you really want to improve yourself, I suggest Wikipedia:Editor review (without following the recommendation that you post a notice on your talk page, because you want neutral feedback from people who don't already know you; or you could request that nobody respond who already knows you in any way).

You know, I would actually (semi-seriously) suggest that the best thing to do during an election might be to temporarily topic-ban all users who live in the country in question. That would include myself even though I'm not an American citizen, but I think the articles would benefit. :-) Arc de Ciel (talk) 07:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate. Still's comment appeared to be in reference to the quote provided in this comment: [1]. That he made this comment as a response to Anselm is probably more about not wanting to repeat the information, but insuring that anyone reading the first oppose comment is aware of evidence being provided later on in the discussion.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

2012 St. Patrick's Day beating

Hi! I reviewed this edit.

The source that the statement was cited to had already established the relevance. See the quote "Bealefeld, the white police commissioner in majority-black Baltimore, warned against "fear-mongering.""

Failure to follow procedure

When you brought up my talk page on ANI, you failed to follow the clear directions at the top of the page, which read:

You must notify any editor who is the subject of a discussion. You may use {{subst:AN-notice}} to do so.

I'm going to WP:AGF and say you just forgot. I'm StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 07:07, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

You are a STAR!

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		In the last 24 hours you have rushed to the defense of two of your colleagues against unprovoked and vicious attacks. First you strenuously objected at AN3 and WQA to false accusations of meatpuppetry levelled at me. Second you reported at AN a repugnant attack on a respected admin Arthur Rubin accusing him of offwiki collusion. Your vigilance is most appreciated. – Sir Lionel, EG(talk) 08:53, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

August 2012

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Illinois Family Institute. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Insomesia (talk) 00:08, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Don't revert without giving a reason

You are reverting editors at Illinois_Family_Institute without giving an actual reason. Saying there isn't consensus yet or citing WP:BRD isn't enough. IRWolfie- (talk) 21:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

Second opinion

Does this edit make sense to you? – Confession0791 ^talk 02:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

No opinion? – Confession0791 ^talk 01:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I do have an opinion, and I was going to work on the article today. No, the change to the first paragraph doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and probably should be reverted. BUT a lot more work needs to be done to the Dispensationalism#Distinction between Israel and the Church section. The edits made to that section probably represent a very slight improvement.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Agent Strawberry Fields.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:Agent Strawberry Fields.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

Hello,

i noticed you edited a Mixed Martial Arts page in August, but you haven't listed yourself as a Participant on the Wikiproject for Mixed Martial Arts pages. I've decided to try to drum up interest to get more people involved!

Removal of child from its parent

You have removed Category:Organizations that oppose same-sex marriage from on of its parents Category:Organizations that oppose LGBT rights and your last edit summary was "Actually, Bash Back! is a LGBT-rights organization that opposes same-sex marriage."

Could please you help me understand what that means and why you believe these categories should not have a logical parent-child relationship?

Many thanks – MrX

Disruptive editing

I would appreciate it if you would not delete large portions of well-sourced content as you did here: [2], followed by tagging the article with unwarranted WP:COATRACK tags.

This a good-faith effort to stop what I believe is pattern of disruptive editing, which I first mentioned here:Talk:Chalcedon_Foundation#Newly created/added cat is POV/OR. You have contributed almost nothing to expanding this article, but incessantly remove content that you do not agree with, against consensus. You also browbeat other editors on the talk page, against consensus, in stead of working collaboratively to build the article. I have also noticed this disruptive behavior on other articles. Please stop this disruptive behavior or you may be blocked from editing. Thank you – MrX 21:03, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I second this and additionally request that you revert the damage you caused. I'm StillStanding (24/7) (talk) 21:04, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

• I would add that this the second time in three days that you have crossed the 3RR bright-line. The first was Talk:Family_Research_Council#POV templates here. I have not reported it and would prefer to work with you more productively, but I reserve that option to take it to AN3 if this situation doesn't change. – MrX 21:52, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Congestive heart failure does not equal Cardiovascular disease

Hi StAnselm - First, thank you for your article help on the recent additions of academics. It's encouraging to see someone helping bring these articles up to a reasonable level of completeness. Full disclosure: my goal and plan is to establish an article for every member of several important groups of Christian scholars & theologians - translators of major versions of the English Bible (NASB, for starters), past presidents of the ETS, authors of The Fundamentals, winners of ECPA Christian Book Awards, seminary presidents and other notable professors from some of the more significant U.S. seminaries, and others who are already cited in a number of Wikipedia articles. This is why, for instance, I left a couple of redlinks in the articles I've created. My second question is what brings me to your page. I noticed that you added the categories noted above to the Paul Feinberg article. In the sources listed, "cardiovascular disease" is not listed as the cause of death. In fact, it mentions that it was congestive heart failure secondary to a broken hip. Congestive heart failure can have a number of causes, including infection or just plain old age, so it is not a given that just because his heart failed that he had cardiovascular disease. Agreed?

Thoughts for replacing a page

Hello again. I would like your input on replacing the contents of this page:List of members of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada with this: User:Ἀλήθεια/seminaries Ἀλήθεια 15:46, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Would you be willing to take a look at the recent reformat and tell me if you think it's ready to introduce into the main namespace? Even if it still needs some tweaking, I think it's far more helpful than the current list. Ἀλήθεια 14:14, 20 September 2012 (UTC)
