Why not write an article about her husband, who is certainly notable? DGG 20:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cardigan

Hi and, as nobody else has mentioned it yet, welcome to Wikipedia.

I'm in the process of changing the citation attached to your recent edit to James Brudenell, 7th Earl of Cardigan from an inline web citation to a footnote, partly for consistency of style between editors and partly to cite from an original source, rather than a report from an original source. A guideline here. Please, if you have any observations about this, follow on from the explanation on the article talk page. Any general points: please leave a note for me here. All the best. --Old Moonraker 11:09, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your understanding reply, and for your interest in the "homicidal earl". You can give a name-and-date "timestamp" to your talk page posts by typing four tildes: ~~~~, or by clicking on the squiggly "signature" tab above the text box. It saves typing! --Old Moonraker 11:58, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Churches of Christ

This is in regard to your December 30 edit of Churches of Christ, wherein you used the "minor edit" option with the. Usually, an edit should only be labeled "minor" if it reverts obvious vandalism (like page blanking or the insertion of profanity) or if it makes a non-content change to the page (like fixing a dropped period or correcting messed-up code). It should not be used if the edit changes or adds to the meaning of the article, as was the case with your edit. I just thought I would notify you of this. As always, thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! standonbible^Talk! 15:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey June, you didn't do anything wrong - not with regard to the hand clapping statement. I just placed the message on your Talk page regarding the nature of the "minor" edit - you shouldn't mark an edit as "minor" if it actually affects the meaning of the article. The "minor edit" option is for superficial changes that are mostly cleanup issues. See the minor edit page for more info there. From that page:

The distinction between major and minor edits is significant because editors may choose to ignore minor edits when reviewing recent changes; logged-in users might even set their preferences to not display them. If you think there is any chance that another editor might dispute your change, please, do not mark it as minor.

As to the inclusion of the hand-clapping reference ... it was removed about nine hours later by Ichabod here. In his edit summary, he explained "hand clapping is permitted in some progressive CoC's...." While I am well aware that most Churches of Christ do not allow any hand-clapping (ostensibly because Paul never told Timothy to "clap thy palms one to another"), it is true that a few congregations do allow or even encourage this. So instead of making the blanket statement "not even hand-clapping is permitted" (especially since it doesn't fit well in that paragraph and seems a bit surprising to a casual reader), it might be better to add a paragraph underneath saying something like, "It is for the same reasons that most Churches of Christ discourage hand-clapping, raised hands, or similar actions of worship." Mess around with it and see what you come up with! Thanks for editing. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough with my earlier post. standonbible^Talk! 20:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
