September 2007

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources, as you did to Adolf Hitler. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Contact me if you need assistance adding references. Thank you. Tim Vickers 16:52, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Adding the unverified source content to Adolf Hitler again after being informed about it is rather poor form. Please heed Tim Vickers' advice above. Thank you. --Knight of BAAWA 00:22, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add content lacking reliable sources, as you did to Evolution. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Tim Vickers 00:23, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Creationist websites are not reliable sources. Their use violates our policy on verifiability.
Devoting an entire section to a historical misapplication of Evolution gives this undue weight in an article dealing primarily with the scientific concepts and ideas surrounding this subject. This violates our policy on maintaining a neutral point of view.
The proposed section is mainly an assortment of quotations, synthesised by the writer to promote a particular point of view. This violates our policy on no original research.

I strongly suggest you read these policies, these define the core of acceptable practice in Wikipedia. Tim Vickers 00:33, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gershom Sizomu

Hello! I was doing New Page Patrol and I came upon your new entry for Gershom Sizomu. Are you planning to expand the article? It is a fascinating subject, and I would be happy to help you expand this entry into a larger article. Thanks. Ecoleetage (talk) 04:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. Heads up: I expanded the article and nominated it for WP:DYK. This is an excellent subject and I am very glad that Rabbi Sizomu's story was brought here. Ecoleetage (talk) 01:08, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

November 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to List of Messianic and Hebrew Christian congregations has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Antonio Lopez ^(desu) 19:48, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, see Wikipedia:AFD if you believe the article should be deleted. Magog the Ogre (talk) 19:50, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Gershom Sizomu

On 2 December, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gershom Sizomu, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

BorgQueen (talk) 07:51, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, it was a pleasure working with you on this article! I am so glad we could share Rabbi Sizomu's story here. I hope we can work together again in the near future! Ecoleetage (talk) 11:51, 2 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Abba Sabra Do?

Hello! I saw your new article on Abba Sabra and started noodling about Google to read up on the subject. However, I've found some sources that identify Abba Sabra as a monk, not as an archbishop; one or two identify him as an archbishop. Is there any way to confirm if he was an archbishop? Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 19:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Daily Kos http://www.dailykos.com/story/2006/12/28/204619/02 he was. I do not know if that is considered a reliable source for Wikipedia --Alpha166 (talk) 19:08, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have no problems with Daily Kos, which is one of the most influential online publications in the U.S. But if you do a Google search for "Abba Sabra" and "monk," you come up with this: [1], and that identifies him as a monk, not an archbishop. That said, I have no intention of changing the article (I only discovered it by accident, on New Page Patrol). But the subject is clearly interesting and the article could easily be expanded. If you'd like to collaborate on this, let me know -- I enjoyed the Rabbi Sizomu experience. Thanks and be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:46, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mosaic authorship revert

Hi. I've reverted your edits again on Mosaic authorship, but I can understand that you're angry and probably puzzled. I apologise for not explaining more clearly why I reverted, but if you'll bring this to the article talk page I'll go through it with you. Leave a message on my personal talk page. PiCo (talk) 09:41, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alpha. You ask why I removed the quote from the Catholic Encyclopedia. That's one of the points I'll explain on the article talk page. Give me half an hour or so, ok? PiCo (talk) 09:55, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Michael Flanagan (former Minister)

A tag has been placed on Michael Flanagan (former Minister) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.
