[edit] Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies

Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:08, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comments on 'Supreme Goddess Lorena'-page

Hello,

Thank you for reacting on the article about Supreme Goddess Lorena. As a novice contributor I hope you want to help me to improve the article. I opened a talk-page about it. Can you leave there your suggestions about how I can make the article better?

Thanks,
Devstef

[edit] Religio Romana

One of the problems that i'm SURE will be addressed by Freak is that we can't self reference to source something. I'm trying to understand how he can argue non-notability on so many pagan articles, yet try and claim inherent notability in obscure military units.--Vidkun 13:54, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

A few real references from outside will deal with his foibles--and mine. Frankly, I'm not quite sure it's been shown to exist.DGG 03:32, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Remember, even Christianity is, essentially, self-referential. One book... :) --Bill W. Smith, Jr. (talk/contribs) 16:20, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hey!

I don't want to muddy the waters. If you have a problem with my work here I'd love to hear about it (really). I want to let you know that any edits I make here are not the result of an anti-Pagan bias (although I do have personal issues with that movement) but are because I want what is best for wikipedia. If you feel that my aim is contrary to the health of wikipedia then PLEASE let me know. I'm not here to push an agenda. Please drop me a line when you get a chance. I know that you're instrumental in the NeoPagan project and dialouge can only be constuctive. Being an editor in good standing I confident that you and I can come to terms on how bst to proceed.

thank you for the suggestions on Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism. Whateley23 03:48, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CR Paganism

Um, I believe you made a slight mistake in adding the Notable Wikipedian template to the Talk:Celtic Reconstructionist Paganism page with my name. I'm not mentioned in the article nor have I ever been mentioned in the article. Would you mind removing the tag? Unless there's something I'm missing or a reason not readily apparent to me? Please let me know if there is. Thanks, Pigman 22:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the removal of the tag. Also, thanks very much for your critique of the CR article. You made some excellent points and I'm going to try to address them today. I appreciate you taking the time to do it. Best, Pigman 18:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Neopaganism

Did you reedit the entries I did?

I am obviously not as skilled at the wiki process and feared I missed entries causing inconsistancies.

The problem here is that from the very begining Reconstructionism is both older, more studious, and clearly defined from Neopaganism, and Neopagans have always sought to "hitch their wagon" to that legitimacy no matter who just made up their belief system on the spot. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.185.125.218 (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Peer review

Thank you for your review of the article about Espejo. These are my comments about your suggestions:

1. I will try to organize the references as in Samuel Adams' article.

2. Confront means that I am not citing the author, but giving my interpretation of what that person wrote. For instance, if you had the work cited, you could look for that reference and compare it to what I wrote.

3. Some things in Spanish are not translated as they are footnotes, which may not be of the interest of the reader; in other words, they are just complements. I agree that it would be the best if they were followed by an English translation, but some of them are quite complex (written in old Spanish) and lots of things would be lost in translation (besides, I'm not good at translating into English)

4. You are right. Interesting, isn't it?

5. I don't agree with your idea of incorporating all of the endnotes into the text of the article. I think they are just complementary, and if I did that, the article itself would get longer and boring to some people. If people are really interested in those facts, they should click the footnotes.

6. That's right, shortly after he graduated in jurisprudence and canon law. Regarding his racial discrimination, it is not really hinted only once; later on, we are told that his pseudonym "showed his efforts to remove any vestige of his crossbreeding, in a culture which granted any white person importance and prestige". I could expand the part about his racial discrimination a bit more (it is actually an important part of his life story), but I think that would make the article unnecesarily longer. Also, some of the authors I read treated that matter in a subjective way.

7. "Cía, Apéstegui y Perochena" are Spanish (and therefore "white") lastnames. Perhaps I could include this remark as a footnote.

8. I'll see what I can do about it.

9. Barreto's report, stated that "The large number of religious celebrations in Riobamba were prejudicial to Catholic faith, agriculture, industry and the interests of the Crown". Espejo replied that "The economic problems of Quito could not be solved by the exploiting its human resources (the Indians) but by planning and taking advantage of the natural resources of the region." Barreto argued that Indians were not employed as they should because they spent too much time in celebrations organized by the priests.

10. That's because there is no article about the movement. However, after you click the link if you look well you'll see the following: "1809 - Quito, now the capital of Ecuador, declares independence from Spain". Maybe I should also include the year.

11. You are right about that observation. I should have wrote "He never traveled abroad, but nonetheless understood etc."

Once again thank you for your comments; let me know what do you think about my response. Dalobuca 00:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections

Hi there. I have made several corrections to the article about Espejo, taking into account some of your suggestions. Please let me know if I have successfully dealt with the problems the article had, or if my comments above were helpful to explain why I do not agree with some of the suggestions you made. Thank you very much for your time. Dalobuca 18:26, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for your comments about the Sanctuary Circle article, Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. RFD 12:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I added the Sanctuary Circle wedsite to the Mount Horeb, Wisconsin article where there is mention of Sanctuary Circle. Thanks-RFD 15:42, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Circle Sanctuary article

Hello there, I believe from the talk page at Neopaganism that you are interested in this topic. I've set up a drafting page here which will let us assemble a good-looking, well-referenced article so that we can release it into the mainspace with a chance of surviving. I'm happy to 'host' the page but have no knowledge of Circle Sanctuary myself, so will rely on others with more knowledge for material! Please come and join us if you would like to.

Congratulations to our 225 new members
From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

#wikipedia-en-bio

Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

[edit] Talk page for templates relating to pagan topics

Hello there AdelaMae, I'm aware that at least five different templates have recently been produced and added to pages within this general area. I'm a bit concerned that this profusion has taken place without much discussion from editors who work on these articles, and I'd suggest that this should be discussed centrally so that there is a degree of uniformity in articles within the same family. I'm writing to you because I know you have been involved with these articles quite closely. If you would like to join this discussion, please do not reply here, but go instead to the talk page I have set up for this purpose. Of course if you want to have a 1:1 discussion about this, then please do reply here or on my own talk page. Many thanks! Kim Dent-Brown (Talk) 00:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hellenion

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Hellenion, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Hellenion. --151.201.147.150 (talk) 14:48, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ref : Paganism

Hello AdelaMae,

My name is scott and i have been reading your artical on the wikipedia encyclopedia site and found it very intresting.

I have been into paganism for sometime now and i would like to study a lot more about it.

I was born in a palce called dundee scotland which means i have celtic blood,

My mother brought me and my 3 other brothers down to london when we were all very young.

I went to boarding school at the age of 0 years old because i was to much for my mum to cope with being a single parent.

I loved the school i went to which was in berkshire deep in the country which fasinated me very much,

I use to rome around in the forest and build tents out of twigs and leaves and just loved being at one with nature.

I feel very lost in london and would like very much to meet other pagans who are looking to meet othrs just like myself.

It would be very nice to hear from you and maybe you can help me in finding a pagan group of some sort that i can join and meet other.

My email is justinboy2005@yahoo.co.uk or scott.lawson7@ntlworld.com.

Thank you for your time.

Blessed Be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.28.167.0 (talk) 01:32, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
