Hi

Hi, the book criticises religious fanatism, not religion itself. The author is a Baptist minister — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.152.240.155 (talk) 06:10, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Fanatiscism is part and parcel of religion so the book is critical of at least that part of religion. It is no use pretending religion consists only of the "nice" bits.--Charles (talk) 09:47, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello

Hello Charlesdrakew, I saw that you are currently accepting new adoptees for the Wikipedia Adopt-a-user program. After reading the descriptions of many adopters, I found you to be the best mentor for me. I was wondering if you would please adopt me and teach me about the many different aspects of Wikipedia, especially anti-vandalism. Thank you!--ObiWanKenobi11 (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ObiWanKenobi11 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi ObiWanKenobi11. I am happy to adopt you and help any way I can. Just ask. I see you are already doing a variety of good work. Remember to sign your talk page posts by clicking the pen icon in the toolbar above.--Charles (talk) 23:26, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I apologize for not signing my post! I will be sure to ask you any question I have or if I need help with something. Thank you very much for your time. --ObiWanKenobi11 (talk) 00:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I notice that ObiWanKenobi11 has a similar username to an existing editor, Obiwankenobi. Is this sufficiently similar to warrant recommending a change? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 23:40, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't know but I have often seen similar names distinguished by numbers.--Charles (talk) 23:48, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

WP:ANI#User:Penguins53 - it's actually the sort of edit you've just reverted that concerned me although the concentration at ANI is categories. Dougweller (talk) 21:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Great Pyramid of Giza

The content in question wasn't removed so much as relocated to pyramidology (please see the talk page entry (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Great_Pyramid_of_Giza) on the golden section for reference to the discussion on the topic). 70.112.97.77 (talk) 23:54, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

I see your change has now been reverted by another editor.--Charles (talk) 14:17, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Misandry

Hello Charlesdrakew. Me too I almost reverted but the name bell hooks is actually in lower case funny as it seems. SlightSmile 23:35, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I wanted to make the same change as the person who commented above me. bell hooks' pen name is lower case. So on the Misandry page, when she is referred to as "Bell Hooks" this is incorrect. Please keep my changes. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.110.22 (talk) 00:32, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

OK. It would help if people left an edit summary.--Charles (talk) 11:03, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

MK grid roads

I understand why you've done what you've done to the four grid road articles, and while I personally disagree about them not being notable, I sort of realise I wouldn't win a debate on that. However, you've gone about it the wrong way. It's not really ok to completely remove articles that have stood for years like that. At the very least you need to merge the content from those articles into the main grid road article. If you do that then that's fine. If you don't I'll need to restore the articles until someone's prepared to properly merge them. If you could let me know (on here is fine, I'll check back) if you're prepared to merge the information into the main article, that'd be great. Otherwise I'll restore the articles and wait for someone to do it. I'm currently in a position where I don't really have the time to do it myself, otherwise I would. Many thanks.

If you can find reliable secondary sources for that information, which was all unsourced, then you can merge it. If added without sources it will be reverted and warnings issued. An alternative is to send the articles to AfD where they will almost certainly get redirected as I have done but that would waste everybody's time. Have a nice day.--Charles (talk) 09:58, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
