[edit] Chinese rite controversy

I added some text, hopefully it gives the article a nice ending. I de-ephasized the Congregation, in part, because she did not act on her own, in part, because there are conflicting sources, as to which papal congregation issued the papal decree. --Ambrosius007 (talk) 09:15, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Isobel Kuhn

I haven't looked at the "Isobel Kuhn Discussion Page" for a long time now. However, I looked at it today. What you wrote concerning, "Isobel Kuhn," was amazing, because it was very analytical and made a lot of sense. Yet, how you worked that sense out on Isobel Kuhn's bio page left me scratching my head. I really do understand that none of us who creates/edits Wiki pages owns the page. I've also communicated that to others. However, in my brief time on Wikipedia I've noticed a real arrogance by some people who will let nobody else make the smallest changes to pages they have an interest in; and, they just stiff-arm others from contributing anything, even if it's good grammar. Though, I don't perceive you to be like that.

Now, while you may have been the one to

Um, not sure if you were finished with your thought. Actually, I'm not sure what you are getting at, yet. I'll let you finish before I respond.Brian0324 (talk) 13:52, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religion in China

Hi guy!

I am appreciate your Chinese Christian related articles and that's really useful. But I want to remind you that you shouldn't bring the whole article of "Christianity in China" into the main article of Religion in China because "Christianity in China" has got some problems (especially NPOV). And because if you do that again so as I can see that you are making people think that Christianity is the most important religion and the best religion in China although it's only a minority religion here, although it's growing in mainland China but it's also declining among the Chinese communities in Taiwan, Macau, Hong Kong, and Singapore. Sorry to say that but Christianity is not the favorite religion of mostly Chinese people who always respect the traditional culture, native religions and especially our ancestors. I think you are a nice guy but I hope you are listening to me. Thank you so much. God bless you and your family the best.Angelo De La Paz (talk) 20:16, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I do listen. I'm not sure what to do with your commentary about Religion in China. The Talk:Christianity in China page is available if you think that it is still POV. It wouldn't be unreasonable if the Christianity section in the Religion in China article was longer. But I did scale it back - as long as it mirrors the parent subject article it think that it is fairly represented.Brian0324 (talk) 21:18, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Add to the Beauty.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Add to the Beauty.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
