[edit] Changes to Mandate article

I reverted your changes to the Mandate article because it did no longer conform to WP:LEAD. I might have reverted a few useful changes, such as wikilinks, as well, I'll try to reintroduce those later. It would be helpful if you could use the edit summary box in the edit page window to describe your changes, you can see your edit summary count here [1]. Happy editing :) -- Steve Hart 16:26, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] September 2007

Hello. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, which wasn't included with your recent edit to Israeli-Lebanese conflict. Thank you. E_dog95 Hi 06:57, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:

Edit summary usage for Ewawer: 8% for major edits and 1% for minor edits. Based on the last 12 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 19:26, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] corrections to Week entry

Good job on those corrections! Thanks for setting the record straight. I expect there will be some people coming back on this and trying to set the clock back. I will be watching and I will be supporting you along the way in such cases. Thanks,

[edit] Sabbath articles

I noticed some of your edits on various Sabbath articles. Those articles are controversial and need much work, specifically towards improving neutrality, verifiability and citations. Keep up the good work. Colin MacLaurin 09:23, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hebrew calendar

Many thanks for your small helpful changes. Please keep coming back! Kaisershatner 14:52, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Good stuff! Also, I didn't mean to omit mention of your earlier major contributions, which are obviously also significant. Cheers, Kaisershatner 14:28, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Judaism

Let's discuss that edit at Talk:Judaism.--Steven J. Anderson (talk) 02:43, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 613 Mitzvot

I have reverted your monumental changes to 613 Mitzvot because they were not discussed. Please get consensus for the move. -- Y not? 01:54, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Inline citations

Hi, I noticed that you had omitted the sources from some of the inline citations when pasting material into this version of Old Testament -- see the bold red errors near the foot of the page. I found the original citations in Septuagint and have fixed Old Testament now. Please have a look, and please leave me a note if you'd like further explanation of the way WP:REFs work. Kind regards, - Fayenatic (talk) 22:54, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Judaism and slavery

Please don't move Judaism and slavery without discussing it on the Talk page. There has been discussion in the past about the appropriate name for the article, and the current name was the consensus. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 02:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Concurrent estate

Nice work! Care to take a crack at Leasehold estate? I'm thinking of putting the pair up for GA status. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:30, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Midian

I note that you moved Midian to Midian (son of Abraham) with the edit summary "for consistency". Consistency with what, please? RSVP at Talk: Midian (son of Abraham). - Fayenatic (talk) 19:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Warm welcome

I see that you have started to do some excellent copy editing and tidying on the Naturism page, as you see from the History I put a lot of work in on this article about a year ago, which thankfully stopped the edit wars that were raging. It took quite a bit of mental power to work out the points of controversy. It a nutshell it appears that Nudism in the States and Naturism in Europe are at different stages of their development cycles, and terms that are derogatory in Europe are terms of preference in the States and vice versa. I tried reference each statement- and strip out 80% of the adjectives particularly the superlatives such as 'most' and 'oldest', as it was areas such as these that caused the flame fights. It is very difficult not to become Eurocentric. I mention this as the sentence you wrote about developments in the Caribbean, is one that I wouldn't have used without a 'notable' reference to back it up. It may need some quick footwork to justify if it is challenged. I would have found it helpful when doing my edits if I had had someone stateside to consult, so if you wish to talk feel free remembering that I am really grateful that you are tidying up some of my sloppy English.ClemRutter (talk) 10:24, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] marriage edits

Hello, I responded to your note on my talk page [2] --Newsroom hierarchies (talk) 03:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your efforts to improve the marriage article, which I sense are truly well-intentioned. I hope a concensus can be built that will allow the article to be improved, but because the topic is so controversial, perhaps it makes sense to use the talk page for the article to discuss possible improvements?
