The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uq-gYOrU8bA) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert.

Discography articles

I'm not sure why you're trying to add a biography about Mullins on his discography article. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:38, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Discographies that are completed have lead sections. See WP:DISCOGSTYLE and WP:LEAD. I reviewed how lead sections in other discographies are written before posting my referenced section.Al Leluia81 (talk) 16:25, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Al Leluia81

I would like to discuss some of the changes you have made on the Star of Bethlehem page. Can we do that?

Sincerely,

Hello Skyfall 676: Of course. I'm open.Al Leluia81 (talk) 17:34, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Skyfall676 (sorry I spelled your name wrong above), I have responded on the main talk page about some issues. If you have anything else, here or on your talk page would be fine.Al Leluia81 (talk) 17:55, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

From Victor1500

Are you aware that your "Regulus, Jupiter, and Venus" section should probably be listed under conjunction theories? Your text is definitely much longer than necessary. Someone had kindly edited it down reflecting your ideas, but you refused that text an restored the much longer one. You have largely developed your material elsewhere (Larson and Star film pages). I suggest that you trim down your material, place it in the conjunction section and make directional links to your other articles. These are my suggestions. I do not insist on it, but it would seem correct from my perspective.

Sincerely, Victor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Victor1500 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for offering your perspective. I think both the areas currently titled "Regulus, Jupiter, and Venus" and "Jupiter's Annual Cycle" and the entire section on astronomical events needs to be restructured, according to chronology as well as to types of events. Since there are many contributors, doing that at this time is difficult because those sections are underdeveloped. The text on Larson and others is significant and is apt to be the leading hypothesis that has been developed today, and it does not cover much of the topic but only provides the basics--and it is about three combined events.

The article is 4,164 words of usable text as of right now (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Star_of_Bethlehem&diff=706312591&oldid=706310099), estimated by using a word processor, which is far below the 5,000 to 10,000 words or more that it could be if it became more within the norm for Wikipedia articles so that a reader who wants more comprehensive information might have it. A page of about 30 kB to 50 kB of readable prose roughly corresponds to 4,000 to 10,000 words, according to WP:SIZE. As that "Article Size" editing guideline also says, "Content should not be removed from articles simply to reduce length; see Wikipedia:Content removal#for acceptable reasons." The section is "long" only in comparison to sections which have missing information themselves, which is expected in an encyclopedia article that is still developing. It is the minimum to cover a much more broad topic.

The edits you refer to generated reference errors I have waited since the start of January to correct and have had significant discussion on the Talk page under "The Star Project // Convergence of scriptures and astronomy", "Bias", and "Pious Fiction Work Area" since that time. It is currently referenced properly, and it is not exactly as I would like, but is needed as part of getting this article updated. A request, by the way, to get this article updated and get some Larson information into it was made on its Talk page ("Misleading and Outdated Information") in July 2013: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Star_of_Bethlehem

The articles you mention I did write, and have not linked to them in part for that reason. They also give a general view at this time and are not a substitute for having the ideas in the main "Star of Bethlehem" article. Larson's DVD The Star of Bethlehem is estimated to have now been seen by over 100 million people. I didn't mention that DVD in the article, and am not certain it would be correct for me to do so. Returning the most basic information to this article took out errors and restored relevant content.

I'm glad you are working on the newly renamed " The Year of Jesus' Birth and the Star" section. That section had content removed in December before being deleting altogether. I brought it back but there was more content that has been missing. Al Leluia81 (talk) 18:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, when I mentioned "many contributors" above, I referred to astronomers and the other scholars, rather than meaning the editors. Al Leluia81 (talk) 16:48, 9 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Star of Bethlehem

I don't think I have ever read as disingenuous a comment as the one you left on my talk page. If you cannot edit constructively and assume good faith, you should not be on Wikipedia at all. --Rbreen (talk) 09:54, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You left a message on my talk page describing this message as "harrassment". I take this as a very serious allegation. I stand over every word and will defend it with evidence if necessary.

If you genuinely believe this as harrassment, and are not merely posturing for effect, make a complaint about it and I will defend - otherwise do the gracious thing and apologise. --Rbreen (talk) 10:55, 19 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rbreen: Please note that I have argued in favor of retaining the “Pious Fiction” section several times, so I have no argument against that perspective being presented provided it is done in accordance with Wikipedia policy; your recent edits I removed since they were not, and you had also removed references to historical works from Josephus, and changed wording to promote a biased version. However, if you think something important was removed, you are welcome to explain what it was and if I think it is justified I will work with you on it. Regards, Al Leluia81 (talk) 20:48, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the link to the conversation on Rbeen's Talk page I have noted above. Al Leluia81 (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
