[edit] your edits to Marriage
I thought you were mostly on the right track there, although I haven't commented much as most of my wiki time is taken up with other things. I would encourage you to keep yourself in the game if you can stand it. He wants to focus on dictionary definitions? Well, if you know or can learn about the history of "marriage" you'll find that it's not an institution but a phenomenon, something that can be described, but not defined. Focus on description for a while until it becomes clear by the weight of the article that the "definition" approach falls short. That would be my advice to you, if you have the desire to continue. If not, no worries! :) You done good already. — coelacan talk — 04:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, it does look pretty crazy over there. One of those editors I asked to just try to assume good faith and they flailed at me with a sort of "but but but the gay pov pushers!" I'm glad to hear that you're not demoralized though. I did follow you over to Trinitarian Universalism from this talk page. Interesting discussion there. — coelacan talk — 03:41, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trinitarian Universalism
Thanks for your thought provoking questions and lively interaction. Caroline1008 02:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to wait for Caroline's opinion on the move before getting started. She's put a lot of work into that article as it is so her perspective is important. — coelacan talk — 03:17, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- She's been patrolling the talk page pretty regularly. I figured to just wait for her to come around to it but if you think it'd be more polite to ask her upfront, it's your call. — coelacan talk — 03:38, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

- I put up one last explanation to Caroline for why I think it is best to move the article. I've explained my rationale the best I can, and if she says no then she says no, and we'll start on a fork. But if she does say yes, it means that we will "move" the current article, which lets us keep all of its old edit history (very useful). In order to do that, however, there needs to be no article at the destination Universalism in Christianity. So, in order that we can work on what may become our fork, I've copied that page to User:Coelacan/Universalism in Christianity for the time being, and we can do whatever with it there. Can you put up this template: {{db-userreq}} on the page you just made, and that will get it deleted so it will be open for moving to just in case? — coelacan talk — 02:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
pssst are you there? — coelacan talk — 02:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

- Ahh, see I don't want to delete our page, I just want to move it out of the way for the moment. She didn't totally create that TU thing, her points about Barth are valid and there are other sources for it (but they are sparrrse). I'm not going to take it any further than this last request, but... if she does come through I would like to preserve her page in the larger one. The reason I'm asking you to put up the db-userreq template is because it has to applied by the user who created the page, and if i touch the page it will no longer work... it only works if only one person has touched it. I'm copying your new edits over to my subpage at User:Coelacan/Universalism in Christianity, I do think that it's best to continue there for just one more day or so. Plus it'll be out of mainspace so nobody but us will mess with it while it's "incubating" as it were. — coelacan talk — 02:34, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's the right template. Okay, meet me over at this talk page, User talk:Coelacan/Universalism in Christianity and we'll cook up a direction for the early stage of editing. See you there in about five minutes. — coelacan talk — 02:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
