[edit] Michael Saward

Better for you to remove the tag, summarizing your case in the edit summary. If you know something about him, you should also do some work on sourcing all the unsourced stuff in the article. By the way, is the tune name ("Guiting Power") correct on this one? --Orange Mike | Talk 16:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've removed it. Thanks.

Yes, Guiting Power in correct. In its early days, Saward's hymn text Christ triumphant was linked with an unnamed tune (which sometimes felt perilously close to Country & Western!) by Michael Baughen (later Bishop of Chester), such as in the book Youth Praise (published CPAS 1966). Later on, John Barnard wrote his tune Guiting Power, in a more traditional hymn-like style, specifically for that text. In that pairing, the hymn has become widely used in the English-speaking world (in the UK the BBC have used it in many religious broadcast programmes).

Sourcing: I'll try to dig some out over the coming weeks.

[edit] Fred Pratt Green

Thanks for your comment on this. The reason that I deleted Category:Christian hymnwriters is that it seems to be a Wikipedia convention that we don't reference categories that include one another on the same page. Since there are no Methodist hymnwriters who are not also Christian hymnwriters, and since the Methodist hymnwriter category is included on the Christian hymnwriter page (or should be! I will check), it isn't really necessary, and it just leads to clutter. I've no idea whether this is an official Wiki policy or anything, it's just something that everyone does - on pages about places (categorise them to the smallest location they fit in, e.g. towns in Dorset rather than towns in England), about species of animals (categorise them to the smallest taxonomic unit we have a category for, e.g. Corvidae rather than birds), and people (classify to the most special category available, e.g. English novelists rather than people from England or novelists). There seems no reason to deviate from this convention in this case, but I have left it unchanged to allow discussion. seglea (talk) 00:15, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: List of praise and worship songs

Hi. I've raised a question regarding the validity and the necessity for the list of praise and worship songs as it doesn't seem to be adding any real value to Wikipedia. Since you've helped in categorising the page, I thought I'd notify you. Please feel free to state your views on the discussion page. Thanks! aJCfreak yAk 14:13, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gospel of John

Thanks for your message, though it wasn't really necessary, the edit summary was very detailed, an excellent example of the genre!

Your edit was fine. I didn't notice the other sections of the previous edit, I just focused on the bit I saw that needed fixing. Thanks. --Rbreen (talk) 08:14, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Valentine's Day!

[edit] Iceland hotspot

I was quite amused that it was cool as in not hot rather than trendy. Thank you for reverting my amendment. Anyway you're obviously a happy wikipedic as you're receiving such a nice message about wikilove! SuzanneKn (talk) 21:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Worship Project

Just in case you didn't see my comment over here. I thought you might be interested in joining my efforts to renovate the Contemporary Christian worship article. I'm working on this over here: User:Merond e/Worship Project. --Merond e 07:14, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] redirects

When we move a page from an indirect title, the software automatically makes a redirect to the correct title. We leave it, because the link on the messages etc. left on the authors page and the page histories and elsewhere will go to the old title, & he has to be able to find the article again. All articles with names beginning with Drare always moved, and the redirect left behind has a purpose. it is a greater load on the servers to remove the redirects than to leave them alone, & the cost of storage is unbelievably small. DGG (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for clarification. Feline Hymnic (talk) 09:32, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Christian music

Your recent edit summary said (Undid revision 215147967 by 74.78.3.3 (talk) Remove advertising link, as per source comment.). What does "as per source comment" mean? By the way, I looked at that link shortly after it was added and I didn't see a problem with it, but I didn't spend a lot of time vetting it. Thanks for giving it a second look. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:23, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Within the source of the page, as viewed when attempting to edit it, there is a large block just below the "External links" header saying (in caps) "PLEASE BE CAUTIOUS IN ADDING MORE LINKS ...". That is not displayed to the end user (hidden by the HTML "<!--" and "--->") but is present for someone attempting to edit. It also supports the section "External links: advertising?" on the "Talk" page. I where Absolon S. Kent suggests "agressively patrol new additions for linkspam". I'm happy to pursue this discussion, but let's do it over in that section of that Talk:Christian_music page. Hope that helps. Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:30, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah OK. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Amazing Grace

Please don't use the undo tool (or at least, don't leave the automatic summary in) if you are reverting a good faith edit. What exactly where the "errors" contained in my edit and why did you revert it. I can't see how it introduced errors when I didn't actually change the text. Lists shouldn't be embedded in articles like this when prose would suffice or actually be an improvement. Regards. Woody (talk) 22:41, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note. What's a "erathe"? And "on several occasion". (Should the latter be plural?) These weren't there before, so the text did actually change. This information is list-like, so a list mechanism was natural way to present it when we were tidying up the article a couple of months ago and accords with WP:EMBED (that you mention). That does recommend embedded lists for some things: see the second form of their New York City buildings and their "Philosophers discuss" examples. And that information in "Amazing Grace" seems to be in that category. (Perhaps it needs a some "parental" heading text, though.) Could I suggest we continue discussion on Talk:Amazing Grace rather than here? Hope that helps. Feline Hymnic (talk) 23:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, see Talk:Amazing Grace#Should number ones be in list format?. Woody (talk) 21:54, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
