[edit] Awinger48 main space article

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Awinger48. Your test worked, and has been or will soon be removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --Sakura Avalon 18:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I disagree with "warning" you for that. It's an honest mistake. I tagged the article for speedy deletion, so it should be deleted soon. -- Gogo Dodo 18:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Gogo Dodo but I don't take what Sakura Avalon wrote as a "warning." I take it as helpful instruction :-) And Yes, I see that he used the warning template. --Awinger48 19:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, just wanted to make sure that you didn't feel picked upon for that. =) An admin deleted the article a few minutes ago, so it's gone now. -- Gogo Dodo 19:16, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Gogo Dodo :-) --Awinger48 19:40, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the "greetings" Dep. Garcia. I'm a retired Military Policeman so we have something in common. --Awinger48 21:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Im always fascinated in meeting former MP's and civilian cops, i once thought about becoming an MP but decided i would be better dealing with the general public more. -- Dep. Garcia 21:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Understood :-) --Awinger48 21:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Another Welcome

Hi, Awinger48. I'd also like to welcome you to Wikipedia. I noticed your interest in L'Abri and related topics, and as a former student at L'Abri in Rochester, MN, and a regular attender of the annual conferences in Rochester, I thought I'd say hello. I hope you enjoy the opportunity to contribute to Wikipedia. --Lini 02:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you LiniShu. I'm a former L'Abri student too. If you'd like to talk more, use the Wikipedia "E-mail this user" function. --Awinger48 17:28, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'd like to email you. I'm having some trouble at the moment with updating my email address in my preferences and getting the confirmation email from WP (needs to be done in order to send), but hopefully that will be worked out in a day or two. Talk to you soon, Lini 03:52, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Looking forward to hearing from you :-) --Awinger48 11:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

[edit] Why the Interest in Francis Schaeffer?

Just found your work in the articles entitled "Escape From Reason" and "He Is There and He Is Not Silent," two books by Dr. Francis Schaeffer. Good job :-) I've been working on things connected to Schaeffer on Wikipedia too. My interest is the truth in what is being written about him. What is your interest? --Awinger48 13:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I worked a little on the articles after reading those two books, and just wanted to start getting some information up. I was unemployed then, so I had some extra free time on my hands to do that sort of thing! But since then, I've been too busy to do more than minor edits on Wikipedia, unfortunately. Drew 03:32, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hope your new job is agreeable. I wonder, would you be interested in working together on Wikipedia articles concerning Schaeffer? Either way feel free to use the "E-mail this user" function to contact me at any time :-) --Awinger48 11:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cultural Mandate Discussion

I'm not sure how to "send" you a message here in wikipedia, but I got your note about being frustrated with the Cultural Mandate page. You sound like you are more knowledgable on the subject than me, but I just created it because it was absent.

I think you should add your notes about the line of thought predeseccors. I mentioned the more fringe groups, not to sully the image of the Cultural mandate, but to try to show how it relates to similar but different, related theologies - I tried to put it into a type of continuum between radical Reconstructionists and Isolationists. In the middle of that continuum are a host of acceptable choices.

I don't see theonomy as a bad thing, and I do think that the Cultural Mandate is certainly a type of theonomy, don't you? I mean, is there some negative connotation that we are trying to avoid.

Please, edit the Cultural Mandate page as you wish. But if you could compare/contrast it to other movements which outsiders might confuse it with, and show where it is on the continuum regarding Christian biblical invovement in politics and culture, and also add its theological and philosophical lineage, that would be great. Sorry to frustrate!  :D dgsinclair (early September 2006

[edit] Wikistalking: What is it really?

Here is a link about your question. What do you think of it? --Rednblu 22:23, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Now I understand. Thank you Sir :-) --Awinger48 10:29, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You are welcome! Good question, sir. --Rednblu 16:25, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[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 20:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

A barnstar has been created for exceptional work on Wikipedia biographies and for assisting the project.

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] Fair use rationale for Image:NinianSmart.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:NinianSmart.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 11:02, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
