[edit] I hope you don't mind...

But I borrowed the Way of the Master userbox you made, you don't mind if I do that, do you? Homestarmy 01:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Of course not! That's why I made it. ;-) MessengerAtLWU 02:19, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
Thanks :) Homestarmy 02:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:MessengerAtLWU.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MessengerAtLWU.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 14:51, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reminding me, Carnildo. I fixed it. MessengerAtLWU 17:14, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Ray_Comfort.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ray_Comfort.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as {{db-unksource}}.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Are you very busy doing anything?

We're having a very large degree of trouble over on the Jesus article, and with you being a person on the great news network and all, do you think you have the free time to help us out? We're engaged in an edit war right now over possibly the most irrelevant matters over word choices, we can't get consensus because people keep refusing it, and since Jesus is, after all, the reason for The Way of the Master, I thought i'd ask if you have time to help us :/. The more the merrier after all! :D Homestarmy 22:33, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Love to, but as a student in college I'm very busy right now. I've tried to stay away from that article for that very reason, but I'll try to come over sometime this weekend. --MessengerAtLWU 22:36, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
We're having a big vote on the Jesus talk page right now, if you don't want to get really involved that's ok, but it looks like everyone is basically calling in all their friends to vote heh. This one sentence about the Jesus-myth theory has been really slowing things down :/. Homestarmy 22:17, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

On the Way of the Master page, do you know anything about the objections this anon is trying to put into the article? Because it seems to be compleatly OR, and I can only NPOV it with....more OR, and im at a bit of a loss. Homestarmy 23:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

As am I. I'll try to look at it later. --MessengerAtLWU 00:37, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
You can't be NPOV about a particular religion, especially if you have been indoctrinated into its beliefs.
Well the NPOV process isn't perfect, we'll sort it out eventually maybe. Homestarmy 22:15, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bible at WikiKnowledge

I have set up my own wiki, and I have just uploaded a Public Domain version of Genesis. However the page is extremely long and needs to be split up into smaller pages. This is not something I would be able to do as I have little interest or knowledge on the subject but perhaps you might be interested in having a look at it. http://www.gmcfoley.com/wiki/index.php?title=Bible/Genesis. I also have Public Domain versions of the other books which I would be happy to upload if someone was interested in formatting them. I should also point out that my entire wiki is Public Domain also. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks, Gerard Foley 03:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Got any advice? :/

Im trying to prove to someone that Jesus is God scripturally speaking, but i've never actually had to do this before, and you are the GNN guy whereas im kind of, ahem, not, so do you think you could give me any advice, the conversation started on Talk:Christianity and moved over to User talk:Oscillate where i've just submitted my post, but is there any advice you could give me? I have to leave right now and won't be back to answer anything he says until next afternoon I figure :/. Homestarmy 02:28, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely! Try the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry (direct link); they're not really related to WOTM/GNN (though a lot of the stuff of the guy who runs the site is in the School of Biblical Evangelism textbooks), but I love the materials on their site. Specfically, try here for info on Jesus as God. MessengerAtLWU (talk | contribs) 02:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I didn't even see that CARM had an article on this, I would of used it sooner probably, thanks! :) Homestarmy 00:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Arg, I think almost all of that came from the Evidence Bible though, and I already used it :(. Homestarmy 00:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, okay. I'll be praying; let me know if you need anything else! MessengerAtLWU (talk | contribs) 00:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WOTM @ the Christianity Portal

Hi there, and thanks for submitting the lead for the Way of the Master article! Unfortunately, one day's notice is a bit too late, and papal conclave has been chosen for featuring in June. However, the work you submitted looks good, and could be shown in July. How does that sound? All the best, Brisvegas 10:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Sorry about taking so long; work has really been tiring me out the past week or two. MessengerAtLWU (talk | contribs) 13:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Manassas VA Flag.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Manassas VA Flag.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

The banana lie....

That lie about ray ocmfort coverting because of a banana needs to be removed. i contacted way of the master and they said theyll get somebody to monitor it....

First of all, don't just randomly delete stuff on my talk page and replace it with your own. That's just rude. Add your statements to the bottom of the page.
Second of all, if someone (if *MULTIPLE* someones) ask you to discuss it on the talk page before doing another revert, then do it please.
Third, that has nothing to do with this discussion. Homestarmy and I have been trying to get you to stop reverting stuff. The paragraph describes what Comfort considers to be a watershed event in his life. Therefore, it is notable.
Please, be nice your fellow editors, and try to work together with us! MessengerAtLWU (talk | contribs) 02:30, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ray Comfort.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ray Comfort.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok 18:27, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
