A shame

that you don't see the difference between more information and original research.

(bana), which is the Hebrew common and ubiquitous verb meaning to build, but which seems to be closely related to the noun (ben), meaning son.

In no way does that say that 'Benaiah' means son. It clearly states 'Bana' is closely related to the word son. Not sure if its clear, but 'Benaiah' and 'Bana' are not the same word. You are being overzealous in your removal of information. -- Avanu (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

List of Strict Baptist churches

Hi StAnselm, My reason for contacting you is the following:

I've made a (complete) list of Strict Baptist churches, maybe it's interesting for you! But the list has been removed by Novaseminary. Could you have a look? Thanks in advance for your trouble! Ouddorp (talk) 10:30, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

• Just a heads-up – you're missing sources for: Elleray 1981; Ford & Gabe 1981; Kirkham 2000; Chambers 1953; Homan 1997. I dunno if that's why Novaseminary takes issue with your list, but you should fix those anyhow. – Ling.Nut3 (talk) 11:00, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

SPSs

Hi, in this edit summary you refer to SPS which I imagine is because it is a blog. Just FYI, while in most cases blogs are inappropriate, in the case of an expert in a relevant field who has been previously published by reliable sources there is an exception. See WP:BLOGS for exception criteria. Disregard if you had another reason to refer to SPS. SÆdon^talk 23:18, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I also consider blatant dishonesty to be "very rude" -- and far more corrosive to civility than the occasional template. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 11:59, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Declaration (book)

I have declined your A7 speedy deletion request of Declaration (book). A7 only applies to people, individual animals, organizations, and web content. As this is a book (even though it's an electronic book), it is not eligible for A7, which is intentionally left to only specific types of subjects. If you wish, you may still propose it for deletion in either PROD or AfD for notability concerns.--Slon02 (talk) 00:33, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

R B Thieme

Thank You so much for fixing the ambiguity on R. B. Thieme's page, I was trying to and got quite frustrated with it. It seemed every time I tried to fix something someone would go in and change it. Most appreciated, Dan Hawk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yellowbronco (talk • contribs) 15:34, 14 May 2012 (UTC)

Declaration (book)

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Declaration (book), which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! – hysteria18 (talk) 08:51, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Newfrontiers and spiritual abuse

Hello. I see you have removed the paragraph mentioning spiritual abuse from the Newfrontiers article.

I don't want this to become an edit war. I would like to see more balance in an article that reads for the most part like an advert and I am hoping a compromise can be achieved.

I really don't see how the deleted text is any more 'unsourced editorialising' than this text: "suggesting their personality type also has significant strengths", which you have not deleted.

My suggestion is that the sub-title "Analysis of Newfrontiers elders" is deleted along with everything after the first quote from the Journal of Beliefs and Values. This leaves a properly sourced quote to support the "Criticism" section.EutychusFr (talk) 05:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Stating "Please don't edit war" whilst engaged in edit-warring is ludicrously WP:POT. No, it is not a "controversial edit", it is supported by WP:LEDE, WP:FRINGE and ARBCOMM rulings on pseudoscience. Further, unless and until you can come up with (i) other editors who agree with you and/or a better argument than simple argument by assertion that it's "controversial".

Hello. I saw that you restored Template:Puffery from an earlier version.

Talk Back

Thank you for information about Black Book of Arda deletion. No, I have no desire to make any further efforts to make English unit of Wiki any informative due to arrogant and silly policy of a bunch of editors. Any efforts to dig up some rare info concerning to some fact or event are totally useless. As for BBA, similar articles are still exist in Russian or, say Portugese units of wiki. Despite of "lack of notability". :-)))) Besides, those idiots should also propose for deletion an article dedicated to Superrock KYOI radio station. The short-wave station of 80ies was known in Far Eastern region only. Regards, Sea diver (talk) 09:02, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Mac.Robertson Girls' High School logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading File:Mac.Robertson Girls' High School logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:01, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Please don't engage in a move war

Hello.

Please don't engage in a move war over this article. You seem to already have a warning for edit warring. If you strongly believe that it should only be "hockey", place a move request on WP:RM, and see if you can get consensus.

Pages

Hi, As of June 2012 I will be semi-retiring from Wikipedia. I will still watch a few pages every day or two, but not watch many pages every day as before.

Could I ask you to occasionally watch a few more pages that have good referenced content and should really be saved from vandalism, fringe views, sudden mergers, etc.? I think you already watch a few of these, but here is a list in any case:

• Jesus has been stable for a year and is fully referenced. I even took out referenced based on suggestions, but it is stable "because it has so many references". The last big debate was about calling Jesus Palestinian or Jewish, etc. But that is over now once it was pointed out that it was a political issue more than anything else. The magnet for debate there is the regularly scheduled talk page comment that Jesus did not really exist. That has been discussed on talk many, many times and it usually ends with the demand: "per WP:RS/AC, please provide a WP:RS source that says 'most historians hold that Jesus did not exist' instead of arguing about it here". The debate always stops after that.

• Crucifixion of Jesus: Again, pretty stable. And as above, the recurring talk page comment is that he was not crucified. And again there are clear WP:RS sources that say that 'most historians hold that Baptism and Crucifixion are beyond doubt'. And there are no WP:RS sources that say that most scholars hold the opposite. But the key issue here is not to mix these two events with other biblical episodes, for there are many historians who argue Marriage at Cana was not historical, etc. So the only two certain events that are subject to agreement are those two.

• Josephus on Jesus and Tacitus on Christ as well as Annals (Tacitus). These are three historically important pages. All three are fully referenced but frequently get large scale vandalism. They do need watching. Josephus on Jesus was the subject of a really long discussion and every possible aspect of it is now covered in the talk page archives. It has been researched in great detail and as questions come up the talk page archives almost always handle that.

• There is also Nativity of Jesus, Virgin birth of Jesus and Chronology of Jesus and I think you know New Testament places associated with Jesus.

Your help in watching these as your time allows will be greatly appreciated. And thank you for all the good interactions we have had in the past years. History2007 (talk) 15:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

• Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi ^{t | c} 17:33, 11 July 2012 (UTC)

Journal of Theological Interpretation

Hi, this is not really my field, so I don't really know where to look, but you know this well: perhaps you can find out whether the journal is listed in selective reputable databases, so that we can establish notability according to WP:NJOURNALS (I know it's only an essay, but it would be a start). That would provide some independent sources so that we can get rid of the tags and would also strengthen your arguments in the related AfD. Thanks. --Guillaume2303 (talk) 07:08, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
