[edit] Arbitration

You can make your comments here regarding your opinion. Cuñado - Talk 01:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] divisions

Before you embarrass yourself, read over the very last section of Bahá'í divisions. It has links to several personal websites in text. In particular, look at Allison Marshall's link which goes to a badly made personal website. Cuñado - Talk 00:45, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your kind note on my talk page today. This medium does indeed present many difficulties in effective communication. It's a written medium, but treated often as a spoken one. We're all new at it and learning. MARussellPESE 03:21, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jahbulon RFC

Sorry I wasn't clear that the user had deleted the entire contents of the article :) That's what the RfC was suppossed to be about, the existance of the article :) Seraphim 09:15, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] original research on Messianic related articles

As I see that you have dealt with some original research issues on [Messianic prophecies]], can you take a look at Messianic Religious Practices and Messianic prophecy. Thanks for your help. --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 22:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Messianic prophecies BUPC

Jeff, I have set up the article Messianic prophecies (views: BUPC) and removed most of the non-BUPC stuff. I also redirected Messianic prophecies to Messianic prophecies (disambiguation). Although I will be doing some more documentation on Messianic prophecy it is largely complete.

[edit] User notice: temporary 3RR block on Bahá'ís Under the Provisions of the Covenant

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future. The duration of the block is 24 hours. William M. Connolley 11:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

William, in the interest of avoiding problems in the future, I was hoping you could offer some advice for me should similiar situations in the future arise. You suggested to "make an effort to discuss your changes". The edits which led to these four reverts involved me removing what I felt was a contribution to a section which undid the balance of the two views being presented there. The addition is an opinion of one of the two sides being discussed to which both views already had equal say, and the fair and sympathetic views of both sides is now being undermined. The reason for removing the contribution Cunado added was stated in the "summary of changes", yet Cunado chose to ignore the concern and restore, again and again. What's one to do, for it seems all the contributor need to do is restore thrice and he can ignore the stated concerns? It's not my wish to be involved in such things, yet I feel obligated as a contributor to the article to defend it when I see fit. How can this be done when 3rr can be levied by a contributor who had at the article first, and can then restore three times to have his way? Thank you in advance. Jeff 07:25, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Really, you need to step back a bit: having two sides prepared to revert indefinitely won't help the article. The first thing to do is discuss this on the articles talk page; if that doesn't help, try to find others interested (page WP:RFC) and after that, WP:DR William M. Connolley 09:09, 9 April 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Please be civil

Jeff, I know the topic is dear to you, but your recent edits on Talk:Bahá'í divisions really cross the line. Please be civil there. This should probably apply to Talk:Bahá'ís Under the Provisions of the Covenant too. MARussellPESE 15:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] bias

Regarding:

for not upholding their vow to "carry out every aspect of the Guardian’s expressed wishes and hopes"[12]

It's in both our interests to make the article look like a factual and unbiased article, and not some kind of pamphlet or personal webpage. It seems like you're just putting down whatever you want to, preceded by "Jensen taught that..." I've never seen a decent reference for what he wrote about what and when, only a link to the introduction of a book which was e-published. If you want to have sentences like the one mentioned, I suggest referencing it straight to what Jensen wrote, or removing it. The way it's written is sloppy, and that's why I removed it.
