Just a quick note of thanks for your cleanup and additions on Astrodynamics. Good job. JesseW 19:01, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Joshua

The version I was working on during protection is at Historicity of Jesus/. Its got a bit stalled, due to my involvement in quite a lot of other talk pages. CheeseDreams 16:44, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Ive almost finished a section now at Jesus and syncretism CheeseDreams 15:11, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Jesus

In order to try to work out the relationship between all the various pages and hopefully get some consensus, Mpolo has opened a WikiProject to centralize discussion and debate. We've got several "conflicted" pages at the moment, and without centralizing discussion, it's going to get very confusing. Please join the project, if you're interested in the topic, and start discussions on the talk page. (We need to create a to-do list, but Mpolo thinks the current state is too conflicted to decide even that.) CheeseDreams 17:03, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Putting a link here

Putting this link here will undoubtably attract Slrubenstein and Sam Spade and company to the link destination. Nethertheless, would you like to comment?

[edit] Request

Could you take a look at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/CheeseDreams You can comment on the talk page, or in "evidence" CheeseDreams 00:55, 11 December 2004

They have just started another revert war at Historicity of Jesus CheeseDreams 14:19, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] To Do list

Could you add these two pages to your to do list, there is some extremely POV editing going on by TBSDY

  • 1 - and evidence of TBSDY's extreme POV editing there - [1]
  • 2 - and evidence of TBSDY's extreme POV editing there - [2] , [3], and most of all [4]

Also note that the critical books removed are the more respected of the group, but the ones left in more dubious. The same goes for trying to tie all of the aspects to people like Hislop, Freke, and Gandy. Also note that Freke & Gandy's book was regarded by the Daily Telegraph as "an erudite and well researched book stuffed with controversial ideas", and so inserting only the CNN viewpoint is a heavy and POV attempt to discredit it.

Here are some links you might find useful for commenting on TBSDY

Thanks. Good luck. And don't give in. And just to check what is going on

I've just seen this. Please, feel free to review my edits! Also be aware that this is most likely CheeseDreams commenting, however she has been blocked for a day for editing articles related to Christianity (and thus violating the ArbCom order) and then blocked for a week for using someone to edit for her as a proxy. - Ta bu shi da yu 01:59, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Oh, and also I suggest that you carefully look at the edit history. I did not remove the book reviews that talks about the "erudite and well researched books (etc)" comment. That was another user, not related to me! - Ta bu shi da yu 02:00, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

Please comment on Jguk's most recent actions [5], [6]. It seems to me that he is destroying what I thought was a carefully constructec (though not, of course perfect) NPOV article.Slrubenstein | Talk 15:14, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Tiamat (Planet)

Why did you say "The result of the debate was keep" in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Tiamat (Planet) but you then you redirected the concerned article. [7]]. User:Denni put the article up for deletion based on his claim that it is "nonsense". Satori said: "Google search for "Zecharia Sitchin Tiamat" returns 1320 hits. So that's why I'm not sure if it qualifies for patent nonsense." and User:Wikiacc and I voted for keep. Delete lost and there were only 2 comments suggesting redirection. Can you please explain how you decided to redirect rather than just keep.--AI 3 July 2005 07:27 (UTC)

My impression is that votes for "keep" and "redirect" are pretty much synonymous; so when I noticed that the concensus was to keep, I decided to redirect on my own. If this planet Tiamat is an important figure in Sitchin's theories, I suppose you could undo the redirect. Ben Standeven 5 July 2005 02:11 (UTC)
Thank you for your answer, you made a fair decision. I have not really studied Sitchin's works, so I will mostly leave the editing to contributors who are more knowledgeable. However I am under the impression that Tiamat as a planet is an important topic in Sitchin's theories. For me, the dispute over this subject turned out to be an experiment in good faith (imho) which helped document some tactics used by Wikipedia contributors who are unfairly refusing contribution of information contradictory to their own POV.--AI 5 July 2005 06:36 (UTC)

[edit] Historical Jesus article

Hi Stephen, I would like to update the Historical Jesus article. Please go to my User:Peter Kirby/Historical Jesus page and look at what I have so far. Please comment on it concerning accuracy and NPOV, and provide other suggestions for improvement. I noticed you seemed to be the author of the bulk of the existing article, so I especially seek your input. Thanks for your help. --Peter Kirby 16:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Noahide Laws in Category: Jewish Christian topics

There is a dispute over whether Noahide Laws should be included in this category, anyone with an opinion is asked to express it here: Talk:Noahide_Laws#Jewish_Christian_topics

[edit] Freemasonry

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Ardenn 22:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Ardenn 22:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freemasonry page :P

I noticed that your someone interested in the freemasonry page. If your gonna edit that page you need to be 100% sure that you follow all the wikipedia rules to a T, or some of the editors will try to get you banned immediatly. The big one, is make sure that you do not revert more then 3 times a day, if you violate it you will problary get posted up on the 3rr board within 10 minutes. A revert simply means changing something that someone recently changed, back to how it was before they changed it. It's not only 3 reverts on the same section either, someone can change one line in the article, which you revert, then someone changes the line back again, and you revert it, and then a 3rd person adds a link that you remove, and all of asudden you have a 3rr ban.

It's great to see new people editing the masonry article since I went on my little break. Please don't get discouraged by the intence wikilawyering going on there, and the warning tags, and messages that you will see pop up on your discussion page. If you have any questions feel free to ask me :p Seraphim 00:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Freemasonry Edits

Ben, were trying to cut the article down in size. There are sub-articles for things you're adding back in. The article is already longer than it should be. OzLawyer 19:30, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the citations

Just wanted to say thanks for adding those citations to Starfleet ranks and insignia, this is exactly the sort of thing I'd hoped would be added when I first raised the issue on the talk page back in June. :) Bryan 15:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Second Temporal Dimension

Thanks for major work upgrading the article at Second Temporal Dimension. I appreciate your unbiased efforts to improve that article. Since the article has been almost totally re-written, I think the status of AfD'ing could be reconsidered; however, I am still wondering if we should just merge to String theory or F-theory articles and create a sub-section. Thanks again for your efforts and keep the citations coming! Nimur 13:07, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible deletion of "consensus science" page

Sorry for the late notice, but I have recently nominated the "consensus science" page for deletion. For my arguments on this, please see that article's discussion page and its deletion page. Deletion policy says that I should tell frequent contributors to the page about the proposed deletion, and I only just saw this today.

Sorry for any inconvenience. Dicksonlaprade 16:04, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footnote in "Large countable ordinals"

You added a pointer to a footnote to Large countable ordinals, but I do not see the actual footnote. Did you do it correctly? JRSpriggs 04:19, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cranks

Nice work with the style improvements at Crank (person)! Let's see how long they last... Henning Makholm 23:29, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
