[edit] Vandalism

Please do not vandalise wikipedia, as you have been on Jesus. TJ 01:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Of course, I agree that believing in something does not make something true. I suggest you refrain from using a tone like that if you want people to take your comments seriously.
Wikipedia is not a depository of what editors believe to be truth, it is a depository of what Reliable Sources consider to be truth. Therefore, whether I can present evidence that Jesus existed/exists is irrelevant to wikipedia - what is relevant is whether scholars in relevant fields believe that He existed/exists. It is a fact, regardless of the evidence (which is irrelevant as far as wikipedia is concerned), that the vast majority of scholars in relevant fields believe that He existed - and that that is the case of scholars of all faiths and none, and not simply Christians.
I had assumed that by adding Jesus to the category 'fictional characters' indicated that you were simply trolling. That may not be the case, and I should WP:Assume Good Faith - you may simply not understand the rules of wikipedia. I suggest you read up on WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:Verify, and WP:Civil, for the time being. TJ 01:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Please stop edit warring. If you are so convinced that it should be in that category, go to the talk page and try to convince someone else. There are plenty of atheists and agnostics around that forum and we Christians are often willing to include content we don't like. But form a consensus, don't edit war.

[edit] 3RR

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Jesus. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Please do not edit the article again in this manner, and instead take your concerns to Talk:Jesus#Fictional_Character. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 14:22, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Direct Exhaust Injection

A tag has been placed on Direct Exhaust Injection, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
