[edit] ABC hypothesis FYI

I opened up a mediation here. - RoyBoy 800 03:10, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

The mediator would like another agree to him mediating on the talk page. - RoyBoy 800 23:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rollback

Please don't abuse the rollback feature. Your edits to Jesus were not simply reverting vandalism. You may want to read Wikipedia:ROLLBACK again, if you haven't already. It's also shameful that you used rollback to get up to your 3RR limit as well. Please be more careful in the future. Thanks for your consideration.-Andrew c [talk] 03:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

I checked it again as you suggested. It said "When an admin or rollbacker sees an unworthy change to an article (usually vandalism)". It was "unworthy" as there was no consensus to change it. It then became vandalism when the editor in question kept reverting without adequate discussion. rossnixon 08:37, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just stumbled on your page

You seem to be a longtime user here, who supports Intelligent Design. What do you make of that project? I've been banned twice for disagreeing with people there, and I'm pretty much fed up with wikipedia.GusChiggins21 (talk) 08:53, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

By 'project', do you mean the Wikipedia page? Or the Discovery Institute's ideas? I stopped looking at the WP page long ago, as I don't really keep up with the subject. I'm more into creationism of the YEC variety. You can't be banned for merely disagreeing with people, if you were following WP guidelines. rossnixon 05:44, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] sarfati book?

Are you sure that is a book you added to the Sarfati article? No sign of it on Amazon yet. David D. (Talk) 03:54, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] references on being complex

Ross, my objective is only to produce a reference for stating the doctrine is complex due to the editor that stated it was POV. I think the request is absurd; I did a quick search and took the third one that I checked. It stated the doctrine was complex and I did not look at anything else. Regardless, I think the reference is reputable, but would be happier if there was another one. Do you know of one? If so, please use it. If not, it should stay because it is both reputable and verifiable. --Storm Rider (talk) 01:25, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we need a more neutral POV, see my comments on talk:Christianity. OK, I see your answer already. rossnixon 01:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Global warming

Your persistent low-level disruption[1] at global warming violates several Wikipedia policies (see WP:V, WP:TE, etc). Please stop. At the next occurrence, I will request advice on handling the matter from other administrators by initiating a thread at WP:ANI. You will of course be free to present your perspective there, but it would be best if matters did not reach that point. Raymond Arritt (talk) 01:32, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, not because the edit is wrong, but because I thought about it further and realized that it would need a citation to explain or back-up the "inconsequential" nature of the temperature change. It was a "good faith" "bold edit". rossnixon 01:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Historicity of Jesus#Jesus as myth

You quickly dismissed my edit to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historicity_of_Jesus#Jesus_as_myth as 'WP:OR and unreliable source'. I assume you were referring to reference and quote of John Remsburg? You did not make this clear. Remsburg is published and therefore seems to not fit your definition of WP:OR. Your claim of 'unreliable' is puzzling when sat next to the clearly Christian apologist references and quotes that litter this page.

Hopefully you are interested in providing a balanced article and not simply defending Christian beliefs and desires to suppress any information that demonstrates Jesus is a mythological construct? Thanks. MonoApe (talk) 17:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I will take a closer look. I spotted some "leading weasel" phrases. I will check to see if the source authors have qualifications in the relevant fields. rossnixon 02:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
