Dear Q-
Welcome! Good to meet you!
I would love to fix the Blue Goose thing, but you have the first-hand knowledge of the correct name, and I do not. I will be very pleased to help you make the change however. Besides, you properly signed your comments on the talk page, heck you are already an Advanced User!
Drop me a line by clicking on my name and I will get back to you (as much as time zones allow). Paul, in Saudi 16:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Celtic disambiguation
I noticed your work on Celtic disambiguation. You are doing a good job. I did the complete main space for Celtic in January and I knew it was a popular topic so periodically I would check in to get a few more. I can't believe that the new links show up so fast that it is in the dump again.
One trick I found late in my run was you can add characters behind a link to make a link plural etc. I.E. You can change [[Celtic]] to [[Celt]]ic instead of [[Celt|Celtic]] and it will still look like Celtic. Saves a bit of typing and makes it so you don't have to remember the order. Hope this helps you out.

Not to complain, but to point out something I missed as well early in my disambiguation work. I was doing further cleanup on the Celtic front and noticed an old edit of yours: in Pronunciation of Celtic you changed [[Celtic (disambiguation)|various meanings]] to [[Celtic|various meanings]] . The link to Celtic (disambiguation) was intentional for clarity.
- Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Links_to_disambiguation_pages To link to a disambiguation page (instead of a specific meaning), link to the redirect to the disambiguation page that includes the text "(disambiguation)" in the title (such as, America (disambiguation)). This helps distinguish accidental links to the disambiguation page from intentional ones.
Keep up the good work!

- Thank you for the clarification. There are so many details to keep track of. Sean Lotz talk 02:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Iglesia ni Cristo
They usually call it indoctornee because of students learning the doctorine of the INC. You may want to look at Fundamental Beliefs of the Iglesia ni Cristo and Talk:Iglesia ni Cristo/Workshop for more info about the religion. --LBMixPro <Speak|on|it!> 07:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Re:Starwood Festival family of articles
Well, someone has already removed the prod on Association for Consciousness Exploration (which is the big mama of them all) and also on Winterstar Symposium.
If you check What links here for Association for Consciousness Exploration, you get an idea of how these collections of articles are interlinked to each other in various ways but to no outside sources except personal websites. A few of the names are of artists that may have some notability. But the various festivals etc. seem like a way for an organization of mostly non notable people to use Wikipedia as their personal website.
These kinds of attempts ususally win out in the end through sheer persistance. I'm trying to get Netsnipe interested as he is good at this kind of stuff. Mattisse(talk) 13:19, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
RE:
Can't explain that. Didn't even know I did it. There was something I did at one stage, possibly editing a previous version thinking it was the current one, because I reverted myself at one stage. You needn't worry about me having an opinion on this, it seems to have been an accident. Calgacus (ΚΑΛΓΑΚΟΣ) 00:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
PontiffDineshkannambadi 00:12, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes, The mentioned S.T. is the name of the pontiff. The word pontiff is generally used to designate a saint who holds a place of esteem in a religious order, like the Advaita order of Sringeri or the Dvaita order of Udupi. You can find details in the web page "Haridasas of Karnataka" (http://www.dvaita.org/haridasa/ I think). In fact you should be able to find this page as a reference in the same page where you had the question about.

On Disciple (disambig).
Hey. I noticed that you were helping get links pointed in the right direction, so that Christian related articles point to the correct disciple page. While that's great, let's wait for the move to actually finish up. It's still possible that the Disciple (Christianity) page might get moved to Disciple and the disambig page stay where it is.

- Hello. Okey-dokey. I had not noticed the possible plans to change things around. I think I will just drop this particular disambiguation project for the time being. --Sean Lotz 06:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Why would a priest have a wikipedia account. Especially a Catholic one. It is "kinda" strange. Priests are meant to be quiet and conservative, pottering around their houses, reading the bible, not surfing all over the internet and contributing to some online encyclopedia. Who knows what blasphamous things you could be tempted towards in the information super highway. Western priests are slowly loosening and losing the morals and principles which are the vital to our faith and who we are! The modern world is crushing Catholicsim as well as other religions including Buddhism and Hinduism!!!!
