Why did you delete my article about ejit?[edit]

I found no faults with it!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by It's Me! (talkcontribs)

Thanks...Mike Bailey[edit]

Thank you for the chance, PB.

Literally 3 minutes after creating the stub I was on trial in the wiki community! So, I am requesting you please delete the "Mike Bailey" page. I am requesting this despite the fact that my credentials are legit, defensible and my intimate knowledge of the major educational software companies would have been valuable inclusions to the wiki-verse. Also, I find talking about myself a waste of time anyway!

Calton's response was particularly vexing. I simply refuse to submit information under threat of deletion by crass and disrespectful representatives of Wikipedia (excluding yourself, of course, this description does not apply to you in the least).

This process was valuable as it forced me to examine my repulsion to the scrutiny of the admins. It made me realize that there is too much emphasis on testing and performance in education rather than learning via experimentation and exploration. I am thinking I may create an online educational software company, something that allows students to learn while experimenting rather than punishing them for not answering in time.

While my current wiki experience has been markedly ego centric, I assure you I am not an ego maniac. I have spent the majority of my career creating things that interested me, not marketing them or pumping them up to be more than what they are. Another lesson learned!

Again, thank you and I wish you well. Sincerely, Mike Bailey — Preceding unsigned comment added by MBailey (talkcontribs)

Thrybergh Tins platform[edit]

Hi,

Thank you for butting in.

I had not finished the article when you stepped in, now some is lost. I know what I am talking about on these railway subjects, I lived watching the line and many of the others in my area.

Butting in before completion is pure rudeness. I doubt you know the subject matter and how unusual it is.

Cheers, Tudor Minstrel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tudorminstrel (talkcontribs)

My RfA[edit]

Announcement: It's an administrator!

P.B. Pilhet, thanks for your support on my request for adminship.

The final outcome was a robust 62/1/1, so I am now an administrator. If you ever have any questions about my actions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks again, Chris Griswold

Gohn Bubin Deletion[edit]

Why Did You Delete the Gohn Bubin page, Gohn bubin may not be a hugely influential music group, but they are more inportant than many of the millions of articles on wikipedia, and are extremely influential. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benrubin (talkcontribs)

My first contribution[edit]

I was trying to start a wiki on "Grand Traverse Ski Club" I had just added the basics on the first run and was planning to get others involved to fill in detail that I don't know. It now appears to have disappeared.. Did it? and Why?

Article Named Pawankumar Nathani[edit]

Dear Pilhet,

Please do not feel sorry for rejecting my article on wikipedia. Even I understand that unless the person or his works are of notable ones, they would not be included in wikipedia.

However i assure you the case would not remain same later on. I will be back in wiipedia that too with lot of recognition and even you would appreciate my contribution towards.


Thanks for your personalised message.

<--Stinky Johnson[edit]

I did not create the page Stinky johnson as an attack page. He is a real person and he likes his nickname to be that. Just informing you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Driveby Biped (talk • contribs).

Re: Article about a musician not being "notable enough"[edit]

Brother,

We are trying our best to promote this artist. We, the team behind the name, concur that his contribution and his artistic statement is of an invaluable quality and artisitic importance. The fact the the artist remains unpublished as of yet, shouldn't be a factor for rejection. So, if the artist is picked up by a record label of any size and maybe sold a few CDs, then would it be ok or "notable" enough?. This sounds like the requirements to be aired on MTV or in the Grammy's.

The work and mission of a singer songwriter that's organized and commited enough to lead a life dedicated to his artistic statement of multiculturalism, social conscience, and Love should be definitely recognized by a information source such as yours. He is, after all, getting te recognition of every underground community he's touched across the US and South America, and we believe that he should be ignored based on the fact that he hasn't been projected by a conventional organization. The work of independent artists should be looked and considered with the same, if not with more, respect as the represented ones.

Flanagan article[edit]

Hi Justin, I added the article "Ben Flanagan" and you responded the band or person is not notable enough.

Respectfully, the artist and his band is on Scott Weiland's record label (Softdrive records) and just shot a musical video with acclaimed director Marcos Siega (blink 182, weezer,system of a down, etc.) The band has played three warped tours and toured with Velvet Revolver. there is also another member of said band on wikepedia. the band is in billboard magazine this month (picture included if you don't believe me.)

I feel there are entries for far less "notable" artists on wikipedia. I Hope you reconsider. sincerely, Chesterfieldking

Christians[edit]

Why do you all tend to be so annoying, well at least the ones on here and just to add to the insults your american as well...how sad is that. When you say your against racism and etc, I disagree as it appears to me that you do some of this yourself, you oviously don'tlike homosexuals, or black people. So you saying your against this stuff, that's the real joke!!

P.B. Pilhet...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles.

Re:CKB[edit]

I've been doing some work at CKB including some new articles and Categorising the Uncategorised articles list. Some of them already had some Categories but were not showing up in said Categories. I fixed this by adding extra ones to those I could, but I'm still left with a few I can't do anything with. Also what should I do with the article - Bible trivia? DYK that Smith's Bible Dictionary (Public Domain) is available in print from Thomas Nelson? Kathleen.wright5 13:03, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Colorado State Patrol article[edit]

I am a retired member of the Colorado State Patrol. I do a little consulting work for them from time to time. I was surprised to discover at a recent meeting with some of the command level officers that a wiki page existed for the CSP and most of them knew nothing about it.

I'm new to using wiki though I have read many Wikipedia articles. In looking at the CSP article's history, it looks like you're the originator of the article? I looked through the various contributors on the history page and was mildly surprised to see that apparently none of them are actually members of the agency. The command staff was just assuming one of the troopers had written the article because of its accuracy.

I am curious how you came to do the article in the first place and have a few questions, if you don't mind. Do you have some connection to the CSP? Did the info come from the CSP website or a live source (not interested in names: this isn't an investigation!)? We were surprise to see info as well about the transition to the new .40 cal. sidearms as no one thought that had appeared on the official website yet (although we can't check that because most of it is temporarily offline after being hacked). I'm a little curious how that info made it to Florida.

Nobody was concerned at all about the article being on Wikipedia, but I pointed out to them that since we now know it's there, we probably should have someone checking it daily for inaccuracies or vandalism. Is that a logical assumption?

Let me just state categorically and for the record, this is not any kind of investigation. We were somewhat flattered to see the interest and pleased by the accuracy but just a little curious as to what all was behind it. I would be very interested in your response if you're willing.

Regards,

Mike Farnsworth Sergeant, retired Colorado State Patrol mfarns@gmail.com Sgtmsf (talk) 16:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Maidenofmysteries.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Maidenofmysteries.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Christianity related news
From the Members

Welcome to the Tenth issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

It has been a long time since the last coordinators election. There is a lot for people to do, and I certainly would welcome seeing any individuals with an interest in such a position put themselves forward as candidates. I in particular would very much like to see some degree of "specialization" in the coordinators, so that, for instance, we might have someone knowledgable about some of the specific Christian faith traditions or other main subjects, like Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, Mormonism, the Jehovah's Witnesses, art, theology, and so on. If any parties who have experience with some of our faith- or- subject-based content would be interested in being candidates, I would love to see them do so. Please feel free to take part in the discussion regading what the minimum number of category items is, and how to deal with the non-qualifying categories, on the General Forum page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Colorado State Patrol patch.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Colorado State Patrol patch.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:56, 12 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ICHTHUS

May 2012

From the Editor[edit]

This month marks the observation of Pentecost, one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones.

Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s Outreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!

With that, I wish you all happy reading!

Help Bring Wikipe-tan "into the fold"[edit]

As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here.

Christianity in other wikis[edit]

As many of you might now, there are a large number of other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote, and others. I certainly believe that Wikibooks and Wikiquote might be among the more directly relevant sister projects. If any of you can think of any particular efforts in these other projects which you think would benefit from more input, please let us know here, so we can help spread the word around.

By John Carter

Spotlight on the Outreach department[edit]

Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.

The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.

Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

Wikisource currently has many old texts available, most of them in the public domain. This is a potentially very valuable source for several things, including for instance links to Biblical verses, because we know that it will, basically, be around as long as we are.

I believe[edit]

... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.

Contest of the month
We currently have a remarkable lack of Wikipedia:Wikipedia-Books. Right now, Category:Wikipedia books on Christianity contains only 12 books. We certainly could have at least one book on each major grouping within Christianity. One of the challenges for this month, then, is working to put together books on relevant topics. For this month, one contest is for editors to assemble the basic Wikipedia books for each of the main topics of the extant related projects. When finished, they should their creation of the books at the main Christianity noticeboard, and at the end of the month the project will award barnstars to those who have made a significant efforts in developing this underdeveloped content.

Also this month, we are going to have have a challenge to create and improve some of our more important missing or low-quality articles. As biographies are often a bit easier, this month we are choosing two biographies: Karl Behm, which has yet to be started, and the currently Stub-class article Nerses IV the Gracious. A barnstar will be awarded to any editor who can get these articles up to DYK quality level and ultimately selected for the DYK section of the main page.


Calendar
Thie coming month (mid-August through mid-September) includes feasts dedicated to the honor of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Bartholomew the Apostle, Nativity of Mary, and the Exaltation of the Cross.

Featured content and GA report
Since the last report, William de Chesney (sheriff), Knights of Columbus, and Angelus Silesius were promoted to GA level. Our thanks and congratulations to all those involved.


Wikimedia Foundation report

Wikinews is our sister site for developing news stories. Several events relating to Christianity, like the installation of bishops for instance, do not necessarily merit extensive coverage in wikipedia encyclopedic articles, but can and easily could be covered at greater length in a news article format. Given the number of significant news events that relate to religion, including claims of miracles, assignment of bishops and other religious leaders, church conferences, and other events, this site provides an excellent opportunity to provide in-depth coverage of current events at greater length than wikipedia.

One of our newer editors, User:David_FLXD, has recently gone through much of our content related to Methodism and assessed it. We are very grateful for his efforts, and that of all the editors who have had a role in developing that content. We have every reason to believe that this will make it significantly easier for the Methodism work group to create and develop content relevant to Methodism. To help that along, we certainly encourage everyone to do what they can to help David and the other Methodism editors to bring the content relevant to their tradition to the highest possible level of quality.


I believe
... in the Holy Trinity, the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, the Arminian conception of free will through God's prevenient grace, and the regular renewal of the individual's covenant with God. I am a Methodist.

As some of you may have seen, the Simple English Wikipedia has been experiencing some difficulties lately. This particular entity could be of great value to several individuals who are trying to learn English. As some of you who do speak foreign languages know, one of the most easily available, and, in general, useful learning aids for people is a text they know already, which allows them to focus on the specific words of the new language. Various recorded readings and translations of the Bible are among the best examples of this. Any efforts to try to enhance this vital means of informing a large segment of our readership is more than welcome. People interested in helping develop it are encouraged to leave a note regarding their specific articles of interest at the Christianity noticeboard. It would be wonderful if we could report some significant contributions to this sister site next month. And, of course, if we do have something to report, those involved would receive our greatest thanks.

WikiProject Calvinism is one of our more important subprojects. It is specifically devoted to developing content relating to the Calvinist tradition, and the primary point for development of content relating to the Pilgrims, Presbyterians, Reformed churches, Congregational church, Reformed Baptists, and Low church. We definitely encourage everyone to do what they can to help this project develop the content relating to this extremely important Christian tradition.


I believe
... that human nature is insufficient for salvation, and the grace of God is required to do so. I believe that God has preordained who will and will not achieve salvation. I believe that Jesus's atonement was sufficient for the purposes for which it was done. I believe that God's grace is of such power that it can overcome any person's resistance. I believe that those whom God has chosen for salvation will, by the undeniable power of God, persevere in God's grace. I am a Calvinist.

WikiProject Holidays/Christmas task force is the group whose purpose is to help develop the content related to the Christmas season, including Advent, New Year's, and related holidays. As many of us know, in several parts of the world, including the United States, the Christmas season is not only the time of one of the greatest holidays of the Christian liturgical year, but it is also the "make or break" time for many retailers, whose profitability for the year often depends on their success in this time of the giving of sometimes significantly expensive gifts. In other parts of the world, the winter solstice period and sometimes specifically Christmas itself means something that might surprise many Christians, like the Christmas in Japan, where Christmas is one of the times hotels receive the greatest number of, often unmarried, couples staying there for the night. The solstice season is also significant to several other religions. Many of these days are also legal holidays in several places. In Belarus, for instance, both the Western and Eastern Christmas commemorations are legal holidays. We would certainly welcome the members of this project to donate some of their time and talents in the upcoming months to improving this significant content.

The core topics work group is the group whose specific purpose is to help identify and develop those articles which are of greatest importance to an overall understanding of the broad subject of Christianity, based on what is included in the core topics list. These articles include some of specific churches and individuals, history, philosophical and theological matters, and more. We have had some recent discussion regarding which articles should be included in this list, and it probably makes sense to revisit the selections, and try to figure out how best to work to make them high quality articles. Discussion is beginning at WT:X regarding these matters, and all input is welcome.
