[edit] Wikipedia:Mind Benders
Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to share the following announcement with you! I've taken over the responsibilities of Mind Benders, and the page will now be regularly updated. Right now, the pre-round is open (it's more of a creative artistic competition), and round one will open soon (the questions are done, we just need to wait for the pre-round to begin/finish)! So why not check it out? I'll keep you updated! Thanks, Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 01:33, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
P.S. Feel free to pass this news on to other Wikipedians.
[edit] Wikipedia:Mind Benders
Hello! I've noticed your past interest in Wikipedia:Mind Benders and wanted to let you know that round one is now officially open! Consisting of ten challenging, puzzling questions, it is sure to be tons of WikiFun! In addition, take a look at all 9 of our great artistic entries and vote for one of them! Hope to see you there!

[edit] Deleted page
Hey Avery. Just wanted to mention I deleted Username:Averykrouse/Desk - as I assume you accidentally created it while trying to post to User:Averykrouse/Desk. FCYTravis 05:45, 30 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Jesus
Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 21:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Barnstar
Thank you! (Now I'll have to find some stuff to fill my "Misc" section with). Arch O. La 05:39, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
Thanks for the kind words. KHM03 11:29, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
New Formalism (a poetry movement) has been added to your desk because you expressed an interest in literature. (No one has listed poetry as a field of interest). Please look at it or pass it along (or let me know and I'll pass it for you). This appears to currently be a stub but it may have been longer at a prior point in the editing history. Thank you. RJFJR 14:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] New Formalism
Just so you know, adding the protected tag to an article actually doesn't do anything. You have to request protection here. I was going to protect the page but I am not sure of the circumstances. Explain at RfPP please. I'm going to remove the tag for now. --Woohookitty(cat scratches) 11:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your help on the New Formalism article. Your interest and others' encouraged me to add a little more material. Are you planning any more work on the page? I've tried to simply document verifiable historical facts, but the vandalism worries me ... perhaps I am missing something, and am only presenting one side??? Who would have thought an article on a U.S. poetry movement of the 1980's would be contentious!? Anyhow, thanks again & of course any further help you could give would be greatly appreciated. — Stumps 09:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Steven Levitt AfD Discussion
Your presence is requested at the Steven Levitt deletion discussion. Wikipedia needs to be streamlined, and we can't possibly document every godless crackpot who comes up with some inane "theory". By creating articles on people who are out of touch with American values, we only give them a platform to preach their otherwise non-notable message from. Thanks for your time. :)
Peace in Christ
[edit] Xanth characters
I have added a slew of Xanth characters recently and created various pages of Xanth characters which need help. One or two more pages may be needed for Xanth character organization, and then the page List of Xanth characaters will more than likely become an index. I hope you are liking what I am doing. - Lady Aleena / talk
[edit] Theistic Ironies & Metaphysical Poker
I love this section! It kind of reminds me of the metaphysical Poker game I have going on my user page. Arch O. La 05:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for playing. I found your submission to be...mostly harmless. But, we apologise for the inconvenience. Arch O. La 07:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'll add it. Interesting what the third largest religion is--considering that most of those people say they have no religion! Arch O. La 05:59, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] French Wikibook
Quite a while ago, you mentioned that you wanted to help write the French Wikibook. Over the last week, I have updated and reorganized the book because Serge's reorganization proposal has gone unanswered for several months and the book has been in the same state for over two years. I would greatly appreciate your help in the book's development. My reorganization structure is by no means set in stone, so feel free to implement your ideas. --Hagindaz 02:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official Statement
Please understand, while I retracted my statement on this talk page, I have no intention of issuing an apology of any nature. Just because I have taken the words back does not mean the sentiment has disappeared as well. I have thought since the beginning of this that Rob's presence on Wikipedia is detrimental, nothing less, nothing more. It has been all I could do to not shout "I TOLD YOU SO!" when the sockpuppetry mess went down.
But go ahead, imagine what you want about me and my thoughts. Mark my words, there will come a day, much sooner than you think, when I will once again say, "I told you so!" (how's that for an unending strain of clauses, eh?).
And by the way, people, lighten up. The Cabal, much like everything that has ever been said about it in the past, is a joke. --Avery W. Krouse 16:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's not a joke. This is a joke. Arch O. LaTalkTCF 04:55, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Signpost
Sorry it took so long to reply to your message. If you'd like to write for the Signpost, look at some of the tips at WP:SIGN/N (click "Tip Line"), and write a few brief blurbs about the important ones (I've put the general format of the page at User:Averykrouse/Signpost). News and notes is pretty collaborative anyway, so we'll add some tips, and help you out where needed. Deadline is Monday at 1700 UTC. If you can't do it this week, that's fine. Ral315 (talk) 19:15, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
- No problem; thanks for offering originally. I understand how time concerns go :) Ral315 (talk) 10:58, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The bar exam
Hey, thanks for submitting the box. However, if we're going to include the cross we're going to need Atheist and Agnostic symbols as well.
Not only do we have two Lutherans, but the Agnostic (Jim62sch) is a former Lutheran. For that matter, the Atheist (SOPHIA) grew up a Christian...not sure which denomination.
Plenty of beer to go around! Arch O. LaTalkTCF 04:52, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Well, the picture is tiny, so it's easy to confuse the plus symbol with the cross.
Care to join the debate over John 3:16? Arch O. LaTalkTCF 07:25, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
PS: Arrows pointing to the center might work better than a cross. Arch O. LaTalkTCF 07:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
- That's actually what I was thinking, but I haven't had the time to Photoshop it up yet. --Avery W. Krouse 07:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Christian Cabal
His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana reminds His Imperialness, the Grand Poobah Krouse that if he wishes for the subpage to be deleted, he can add the {{db-author}} tag to the page and an admin shall delete it for him! -- His Imposingness, the Grand Moff Deskana (talk) 16:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

We may not see eye to eye sometimes but I like your sense of humour. SOPHIA 14:09, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Wikiethics
Hi,
We started a proposal Wikipedia:Wikiethics to state the existing policies coherently and make suggestions on improving the editorial standards in Wiki. I thought you might be interested in contributing to that proposal.
Unfortunately, a pro-porn and pro-offense lobby is trying to make this proposal a failure. They unilaterally started an approval poll although almost no one including me believe that it is time for a vote, simply because the policy is not ready. It is not even written completely.
Editors who thinks that the policy needs to be improved rather than killed by an unfair poll at the beginning of the proposal, started another poll ('Do we really need a poll at this stage?') at the same time. The poll is vandalized for a while but it is stable now. A NO vote on this ('Do we really need a poll now?') poll will strengthen the position of the editors who are willing to improve the ethics policy further.
If you have concerns about the ethics and editorial standards in Wiki, please visit the page Wikipedia:Wikiethics with your suggestions on the policy. We have two subpages: Arguments and Sections. You might want to consider reviewing these pages as well...
Thanks in advance. Resid Gulerdem 00:07, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I would love your help.
Hi,
I know you are interested in christianity, and I recently started a new wiki over at wikicities which is on the subject of christianity. Christian Knowledge Base is the site.
The goal is to have a knowledgebase on christianity from a distinctly "C(hristian)POV" rather than the NPOV. It is not meant to be a mere Christian Encyclopedia, but to foster a real sense of community. I'd like to include things like current events, news, stories, and anything that would add to both an understanding of Christianity, but also its enjoyment. I'm looking for help to build a resource that could really enrich the lives of Christians.
I know you are busy but I am actively seeking new sysops/admins to help me build this site up, and I would be positively thrilled if you could contribute in any capacity whatsoever. nsandwich 01:13, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
The CKB has been vandalized by an anon IP and a bot named Aquinus. See here. Grigory Deepdelver AKA Arch O. LaTalkTCF 17:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
The article Spiritual marriage has been added to User:Averykrouse/Desk your desk. This is has been open for a long time and may be ready to be closed. Please look at it and see what work it needs or pass it (or let me know and I'll reassign it). RJFJR 19:20, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Not a quorum call, so please don't shoot the messenger ;)
Since you first proposed the idea a while ago, I thought I'd let you know that CTSWyneken is now up for an RfA: Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/CTSWyneken. Grigory Deepdelver of BrockenboringTalkTCF 15:23, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for the support on my RfA!
A belated thank you to you for Supporting my RFA! It passed 54/2/3, much better than I expected! I am still finding my feet as an Administrator, and so far I am enjoying the experience. I am honoured that you felt I was ready to take up this position, and wish to thank you formally! I hope I can live up to your expectations of me! Thanks, The Grand Moff Deskana ;-) 19:19, 4 May 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] Your input on this matter would be greatly appreciated
Dear Avery, please look at this[1] and consider giving your counsel and opinion. Cordially, David--Drboisclair 00:42, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

It's been a while. How have you been? Arch O. La Grigory Deepdelver 02:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
