Hi Dawud. I want to thank you for your work on the A.R.E. article. I am a longtime member of A.R.E. and it is good to see that someone has done such a good job of representing the A.R.E. on Wikipedia. I would like to hear back from you and find out your other interests, since I note the breadth of your interests from the various articles you have written and editted.

Please reply back to me via email at fdewey@mindspring.com .

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome!

Hello, Dawud, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Again, welcome! 

This is Paul. I've noticed you editing the Baha'i Faith page - and also noticed that although you've now got an account, no-one has said hello to you yet. So, let me be the first to say Hi. I guess you're not entirely a new user, since from comments you made on the Baha'i article talk page you've made quite a few anon edits to various pages concerning mysticism - but I think it's useful to have one of the welcome templates where you can easily find it - it's got a few helpful links there.

Have fun at Wikipedia! PaulHammond 11:47, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Symbols

Heh Paul beat me to first comment - oh well. First off, whats this about five-pointed stars? And also are you sure that the caligraphy is Persian? I'll write a tidbit about Baha'i caligraphy in a mo, but I suspect its Arabic. -- Tomhab 01:25, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Criticisms

OK re-read the article and agree that much of it can't go on the main page. How about making a Bahá'í social principles page or something. Much of what has been written can be copied almost verbatim to there. Other aspects can go elsewhere. It also means we can shred a fair bit off the main page (which is getting reasonably long).

I hope you understand the reasoning for all this. You obviously know your stuff about the Baha'i faith, but an article with criticisms in the title really isn't appropriate and a little NPOV.

Let me know what you think on my talk page and we can get cracking. -- Tomhab 01:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Well... I'm not entirely sure, but I think voting's pretty much done? maybe give it a few more days. -- Tomhab 10:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, check out the Baha'i apologetics page. Since you started the original criticism page I want to see what you think. And since you seem interested in the subject I think you can do some valuable editing. But please provide references wherever possible! The criticism page barely had any and I ended up just cropping most of it. Cunado19 29 June 2005 14:00 (UTC)

[edit] New page

Got any to add? You know you have no life when

[edit] Cayce

I'm glad to meet another Cayce fan, keep up the good work!--Jondel 00:18, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jesus

Look, no offense, but that thing you just wrote in Jesus is full of weasel words and was definitely not neutral. Also, it's best not to make the article an essay pushing you POV. As you may or may not be aware, you have stated a position taken by some people. This is most definitely disputed, yet I don't really see the alternate POV being put forward. There is also an article that deals with this, Historicity of Jesus. - Ta bu shi da yu 11:21, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Please use edit summaries when making edits so that it is easier for others interested in the articles you are editing to follow what you're doing. This is especially important at articles such as Taoism where you are making large numbers of edits one after another. Another thing that could help keep down the numbers of unsummarised edits would be to use the "Show preview" button to check your work before saving the new page.
