editYou are suspected of sockpuppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/The Catholic Knight. Thank you.

- Because of your clear block evasion using an IP address (which I just blocked), I have reset your original block. It will now end precisely 24 hours from now. Regards, –MuZemike 16:36, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Catholic Church
editIf you have a view on the changes at the Catholic Church article, the best thing to do is make your view known on the current discussion of these matters on the Talk Page for that article. Xandar 23:44, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Leonardo da Vinci
editPlease stop your insistance on adding Leonardo to unsuitable categories. Leonardo had no notability whatsoever as a Roman Catholic. We do know that he was baptised when he was a few days old. But he was an illegitimate child and it is quite possible that he was in fact a member of the Jewish faith and not a Catholic at all. It has also been suggested, most convincingly, that he belonged to an heretical sect, the Cathars. Both his major religious works support this view. The Last Supper strongly indicates that he was not Roman Catholic by personal conviction.
On the other hand, almost every Italian who lived between 300 and 1900 was baptised in the Roman Catholic Church (unless they were of the very small Jewish minority). For this reason almost every single Italian fits under the "Roman Catholic" category, which makes a category called Roman Catholic Italians pointless. You might just as well start a category called "White English" (because not all modern English people are white) or "Birds that can fly" (because some can't) or "Round balls" (because Rugby balls are not).
I must add that whether or not Leonardo was Roman Catholic, he was not a significant Catholic writer. He wrote nothing that relates to religion in general, theology, dogma or the Catholic Church. His Catholicism (or otherwise) has no bearing whatsoever on his writings. He occasionally within his writings comments on the behaviour of clergy, in the same way as a newspaper editor my comment on a news item about catholic clergy. He doesn't make any "religious" comment.
As for him being a "Catholic Church painter", he wasn't. He painted one wall of a dining room in a monastery. He painted another picture for a chapel in a church. He never painted a fresco in a chapel or a church. However, because of that one painting which was done for a chapel, I have left him in that category, for the time being. I am of the opinion that you should review who you have added to that category, and limit it to artists who actually painted frescos in churches.

ANI discussion
editHello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is The Catholic Knight. Thank you.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:28, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
It has become clear that, despite several attempts by users to communicate with you, you have made no attempt to establish what is thought best by the community. You are pushing through your own version of articles with no consensus. I have extended your block to one week in length. SGGH ping! 20:06, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
- I too prefer the previous version of the article. However simply reverting is unlikely to win the argument with those who prefer the cut-down version. It's always good to engage on the talk page. Xandar 21:39, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
