  • Sorry about that. I'm really new, I've been using wikipedia for a while, but didn't know that there was such a thing. Thanks for filling me in. Gobazkov. PS:Is this how I'm to respond to you?
  • No sweat. Some people respond on their own talk pages, some will respond on the page of the user that posted; a matter of personal taste I guess. For my money, responding on the page of the user that posted is almost always faster. Good luck and happy wiki-ing.--Hraefen Talk 21:10, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Women of faith

The text that you posted on my talk page seems fine to me. I would format the list of guest speakers and wikify those who have WP articles. I should have taken the time to explain the copyright issues to you more carefully instead of using a templated message. I apologize, and I hope this hasn't sullied your experience of Wikipedia. Happy editing! -- Merope 02:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Women of Faith part III

The article looks good! I made some minor changes (e.g., spelling, link fixes), but I think it's fine now. I think you might be able to incorporate the mission statement of the group in your own words, maybe? The problem is that it's often difficult to talk about religious (or political) groups' goals without sounding like you're promoting it. But it might be possible--you can certainly use the website as a source for your information. It would also help if you found third-party sources (magazine articles, newspapers, TV reports, etc) to establish that this is an important group. See Wikipedia's policies concerning reliable sources and citing sources for more information. Happy editing! -- Merope 13:20, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
