[edit] Lutheranism

Thank you for your edits to Lutheranism. When I originally change the word "are" to "become" was to avoid the assumption that this is the case at the time they are placed on the alter. Your edit "the consecrated elements of bread and wine are the true body and blood of Christ "in, with, and under the form" of bread and wine for all those who eat and drink it" is much better. Thank you. Dbiel (Talk) 20:00, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome. It seems like much hinges on one word, a word that is heavily attested in ancient eucharistic liturgy ("that they may become for us the body and blood of Christ"), but for Lutherans "become" is Transubstantiation language.--Drboisclair 20:13, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Shakespeare Collaboration

The Shakespeare Wikiproject is starting another collaboration to bring Romeo and Juliet to GA status. Our last collaboration on William Shakespeare is still in progress, but in the copyedit stage. If you have strong copyedit skills, you may wish to continue the work on that article. Members with skills in other areas are now moving on. Improving Romeo and Juliet article will set a standard for all other Shakespeare plays, so we look forward to seeing everyone there. Thanks for all your help with the project.

[edit] Constructive

I, of course, welcome constructive commentary and criticism about my essay. However, your comment was not particularly helpful and has been removed. If you'd like to say something more substantive, please feel free to do so. --Eyrian 18:05, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Removing comments from talk pages is bad form here. It squelches the free interchange of ideas here in a place where it should be kept.--Drboisclair 18:11, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call


Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add {{User WP Harry Potter}} to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

[edit] Shakespeare project - New collaboration debate

The Shakespeare project's first collaboration has ended in success, with William Shakespeare reaching FA status! Congrats to all who chipped in!

Please join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Shakespeare#Next Collaboration to help us choose. Thanks. Wrad 04:03, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NOR

There has been a big debate over this policy. I think you have valuable experience that makes you an important interlocutor on this matter. I suggest you forst go here for a very concise account, and then depending on how much time you have read over the WP:NOR policy and the edit conflicts that led to its being protected, or the last talk to be archived ... or just go straight to the talk page.

Thank you for alerting me to these matters: I appreciate your valuing my input on this website, cordially, --Drboisclair 17:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome - whatever your input, I know it will be thoughtful. I think the discussion could benefit from editors who have worked on controversial articles and who also understand the range of sources one might rely on in research, and the challenges different kinds present.

[edit] Polytonic template

For me the problem of polytonic characters in Wikipedia has been solved today. Though I appealed to two people, at least one of whom has the rank of Administrator, to do something about the display problem, the change may have nothing to do with them. I think it is more likely that it came about because of my updating today to Internet Explorer version 7. (I should have done so months ago.) For me, polytonic text now displays perfectly on Wikipedia. It does so even without adding "{{polytonic|}}". (This will spare me a lot of labour.) The characters displayed are no longer in Palatino Linotype, as before, but appear just like Greek letters not placed within the polytonic template. I am curious to know whether you still have a problem with viewing Greek polytonic characters on Wikipedia. Try looking up Nicene Creed. Lima 15:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for confirming that the change that I have found is related with the change of (free) Internet browser. As for the Apostles' Creed in Greek, I simply do not know. I think you are better placed than I am to find out whether the Greek text is only a translation of the Latin text. I think the present Latin text is said to be the relatively late result of a long development; well then, if the Greek text is exactly the same as the present Latin text - as I remember it, it is exactly the same - then I suspect it is in fact just a translation, and no more significant than a translation into English. But, as I said, I am leaving the study of it to you. Lima 19:59, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
On my Talk page you will find Csernica's explanation of why the polytonic template was not working for us since last December, and how to remedy the problem that since then has affected the IE6 browser. Lima 09:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Crucifixion.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

[edit] Long term relationship

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Long term relationship, 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 Long term relationship.
