- Where do Marthoma church during Indian independence movement figure in the said document ? and it is my creation . fast and lents of marthoma church is a derived passage from the document not an exact copy. i have made it in my own word. there is no copy write issues involved here. It is a church document and free to use, moreover the necessary citation of the material is given in citation 86 .No copy rights is violated , you may kindly discuss with me which part you feel has infringed copy right violations before deletion for better appreciation Roshyf2 (talk) 03:52, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

- Dear Elizium23
- You deleted all most 17000 words on accusation of Copyrighted material. you have deleted many paragraphs which is not at all figuring in the document which you are accusing [1]. I already told you there is no copy paste editing. however the citation is added for better appreciation.I am not saying the document belongs to me. In writing about fast and feasts i took it as a reference or citation to give exact information of what are the fasts ,feasts and lents of marthoma church. The matter under that paragraph is details about festivals in church like easter , christmas, pesaha, hoshana, ash Wednesday etc and how can you say the description about that festival is a copy writed one and all these are univerasal facts. the document as such is not used , the document is used for referral or citation purpose only. even then Why did you delete
- 1. marthoma church during independence movement.
- 2. Abbeys and monastries and theological seminaries
- 3.bishop houses
- 4.Sacraments
- 5.Organisations etc which not at all figure in the document you accuse.
- moreover what is the copy paste involved there. show me pls. I want the matter to be be reinstated as it gives completeness to the main article. if a sentence or word is problematic why do you need to delete the entire matter? as i already asked we can have a discussion on that. Who did the edit war . in spite of my request for discussion on the particular areas of dispute in your talk page ,you have deleted. Which is unjustifiable. this matter is created after spending many hours in front of the computer and it may be easy to delete it by a click. As i am new to editing ,you can take the matter for dispute resolution or WP:CCI ,let a third party decideRoshyf2 (talk) 04:52, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Orthodox Church
Sorry, I see now that I misread my source on women as deacons. But the fact that only men can take holy orders in the Orthodox Church is widely-sourced, indeed it is perfectly obvious to anyone modestly familiar with the institution; I nevertheless felt that it was important to add a brief explanation of that for anyone unfamiliar with it. I have re-edited my post for accuracy and cited a source, but I disagree that citing such a widely-known fact is always necessary (sure not *every* sentence on wikipedia needs a citation.) I also think you could have been more helpful by simply editing out my incorrect statement about women deacons and leaving the correct information in place, presuming that you knew what part was incorrect and which part was not.104.159.151.38 (talk) 18:19, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
Indentation and what I meant
Re this. Technically, I wasn't responding to anyone in particular, hence the lack of indentation. I was commenting on the bizarre nature of the thread itself. If you want to discuss general changes to a large swath of articles on biblical topics, we have WT:BIBLE and WT:MOSBIBLE. An article talk page, especially one with low traffic, on an article that is not one of the ones that would be affected by such a change, is not an effective venue to discuss such things. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 05:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- That's why I started an RFC at WT:BIBLE. Elizium23 (talk) 05:27, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Yes you did. About three hours ago, an hour after I wrote what I did, and roughly eight years after the talk discussion in question was opened. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 05:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- So what? My response on Talk:Psalms was about something VanEman did and wrote a few hours ago. The genesis of the conversation and its age are irrelevant. Elizium23 (talk) 05:47, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- Why did you alter and recontextualize my comment, then? Also, in my experience if you want outside commenters to join an RFC, already involved participants should limit themselves to one or two comments. I will respond to your questions and then refrain, and I recommend you do the same. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 06:21, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

User:Cbetheridge messing with the Institute of the Incarnate Word again
I've had trouble with supporters of this organization viewing the wikipedia page as a personal promotion page. I noticed that you were the other one who warned User:Cbetheridge on his talk page and he continued without even responding to both of our points. The latest is eliminating the controversies section (melding it inconspicuously into history) and adding content not relevant for a wikipedia page. What can we do? (You seem to know WP more than I.) >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 04:29, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Good morning Father. Yes, it is a difficult situation. I am not very familiar with the article history, but I'll try to comment on what I know. Cbetheridge is claiming there is information cited to blogs that shouldn't be there. He is correct in this. For example, Rorate Caeli is currently cited in the article (linked there, but attributed to Catholic Culture?) it is not a WP:RS and any statement it supports should be removed, or cited to a truly reliable source. Secondly, about the controversies section. According to WP:CRITS, it is discouraged to have a separate section. Now I will point out that this is only an essay with no force of law here, but it is probably a good rule of thumb. I often feel that if negative information can be woven in with the positive information, there is less chance of it becoming overwhelmingly lopsided. So in these issues he has a point. But he also seems to be adding large swaths of unsourced information to the article, in general pushing a POV, has started making veiled legal threats, and appears to have a conflict of interest being affiliated with the organization. So I'm going to warn him for the latter. I suggest looking at WP:DR to see if there is more you can do. I appreciate that you have attempted twice to engage on the article talk page. The fact that Cbetheridge will not is more evidence of disruption. Don't let it turn into an edit-war, because that will hurt your own reputation. So far you are doing all the right things. Elizium23 (talk) 19:16, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks. I didn't know about the policy of not making controversies another section. I was taking this more from general practice on similar pages like Legion of Christ and Opus Dei that make it a separate section. (You can check my edits and 80%+ are about Catholic religious organizations and lay movements.) Rorate Coeli here is citing a WP:RS in Spanish. Even though a blog, I suspect RC probably is at least a borderline WP:RS because of how much it is used / cited elsewhere int he Conservative Catholic world as reliable. I guess that ref should be redone with Spanish first then RC as a "English Summary." (I read Spanish but I guess most readers would not.) I got a message from him on another medium where he was claiming The Independent was either unreliable or shouldn't have published the diocesan statement kicking the IVE out, so I think he may have an issue with WP:RS not just COI and NPOV. I assume it is just a lick of understand WP policies on his part. >> M.P.Schneider,LC (parlemus • feci) 14:09, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
Cut and paste move
Sorry, did not realize there was such a thing as a 'move' tab and one does not show up for me. Jgefd (talk) 03:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Jgefd You should see a tab next to the search box that says "more" and it has a down arrow next to it. Place your cursor over that and you will see the move command. Years ago it said move but that was changed through one of the up (down for some) grades that happen every so often. MarnetteD|Talk 03:10, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
MarnetteD I see it now, thanks so much. Jgefd (talk) 03:30, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
- You are welcome Jgefd. I should add that moves are tricky things and should be approached with caution. Elizium23s message on your page has one place where you can ask about the ins and outs of performing them. There is also the WP:HELPDESK. MarnetteD|Talk 04:19, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

Don't do that againTemplating people for reverting your POV edits is a really bad idea. Please don't do it again. Black Kite (talk) 22:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Your message on my talk pageThe normal cycle on Wikipedia is edit-revert-discuss. Editor BoBoMisiu does not appear to have heard of this, and prefers to revert without consensus. I warned him after three reverts, the fourth was the last straw. Read the rules. I find your warning quite offensive. Fiddlersmouth (talk) 23:43, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
ANI noticeThere is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:11, 13 October 2016 (UTC) Dubious claims of having spammed WikipediaMy two cents: you believe [2] to be spam because it offends your religion. But it is to the point and it is solid Bible scholarship by a Harvard scholar. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:36, 13 October 2016 (UTC) You have reverted it in several articles: Does it discuss religious opinions upon masturbation in an article about religious opinions upon masturbation? Check. Does it discuss the church in articles about the church? Check. Does it discuss theological inerrancy/infallibility in articles about theological inerrancy/infallibility? Check. Does it expresses the verifiable views of a credible scholar in a reliable source? Check. So, I see no WP:PAG reason for reverting it, much less for claiming that it would amount to spam. Tgeorgescu (talk) 00:57, 13 October 2016 (UTC) Is it WP:FRINGE? No it isn't. It is mainstream Bible scholarship. Tgeorgescu (talk) 01:04, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Yet a substantial amount of content on Wikipedia is not sourced.

Yeah, it is suspiciousThat a new user's first edits are to attempt to AfD several articles. However, stating that you think he's a sock in your first note to the user may appear bitey to some. To me, if he is a sock, he knows you know, but if he's a genuine new editor, he won't understand it, so no harm done. - BilCat (talk) 19:59, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) Catholic cathedrals by church/riteHi, the term «church» instead of «rite» can be confusing, because it is one church with several catholic rites or «particular churches» in communion with the Pope, this source for example combines the term rite, with the church, as equivalent http://www.gcatholic.org/churches/asia/3711.htm (Syro-Malabar Rite) http://www.gcatholic.org/dioceses/rite-Sb.htm (Syro-Malabar Church, Eastern-Rite sui juris Catholic Church) I would opt for rite that leaves no doubt that it is one church, this other source also calls them Eastern Rites https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?recnum=2741 (The Popes and the Eastern Rites) this other source also calls them Eastern Rites http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/resources/liturgy/rites/the-rites-of-the-catholic-church/ (The Rites of the Catholic Church)--Warairarepano&Guaicaipuro (talk) 13:58, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
Your changes to the Harry Potter film series articleThe Harry Potter film series article is about the eight Harry Potter films. Surely that's obvious? The Fantastic Beasts films will get their own film series article in due course. Do you see The Hobbit films integrated into the Lord of the Rings (film series) article? No. The Hobbit has a separate article because it is a separate film series. If you really want Fantastic Beasts and Harry Potter movie information in one article, then use J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World article. Doogooder (talk) 19:20, 23 November 2016 (UTC) Lord's PrayerHello Elizium23. I have reverted your change here because the source linked to in the article
Your change of NARAL Pro-Choice AmericaYour edit of NARAL Pro-Choice America included characterizing a position of the organization as "pro-abortion". That is obviously not something that most members of the organization would accept as being an accurate or neutral description. I suspect that you knew, when making that edit, that it does not represent a consensus wording that would be acceptable for Wikipedia. It therefore seems to be tenditious editing. Please don't do that. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:05, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Fantastic BeastsAre you going to post a reason for deleting relevant production information? Are you relying on the Talk:Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (film)#Country of origin thread for your rationale? If so, I suggest you think again. That thread starts with people saying there is no clear information from one of the institutes (the BFI is a cast iron source for this sort of thing); the remainder of the thread is given over to the language variant. Fair enough to remove any country from the opening line, but it is extremely questionable to mislead readers in the basic information in the infobox. - The Bounder (talk) 17:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

José Sánchez del RíoHi, Elizium23: I don't understand why did you revert my changes in the article of José Sánchez del Río. I quoted the only official document (http://w2.vatican.va/content/benedict-xvi/en/apost_letters/documents/hf_ben-xvi_apl_20051115_beatification-messico.html) in which is affirmed that his feast is celebrated on November 20. Where is it said that his memory is on February 10? I am looking for a newer official document, but in the meanwhile I don't think that one can guess something like this in Wikipedia because "it sounds like it should be so". --Castaliensis (talk) 11:49, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
But then you should put a new section inside the arthicle discussing about the feast. "Some people and Catholic groups say this because..." You cannot put as an "official" date something that is a guess. In the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church the only authority is for the Calendary the Holy See. Look, for example, in the case of St. Theresa of Calcutta: they said explicitly the new date. --Castaliensis (talk) 14:18, 2 December 2016 (UTC) Edits to Kirill pageThanks for changing the article body but in the process You erroneously changed a quote (in a source tag, not the article body)KevinCuddeback (talk) 19:25, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Merry ChristmasExhortations to Assume Good Faith on Talk:Institute of the Incarnate WordWe have a history: years ago I conceded to you an "I stand corrected" for politeness' sake. Not so now: I have no rash contribution to correct. I came to the aid of an editor's express request for talk comments. In perusing the material under consideration, I noted obvious inconsistencies in choices of content included -- and traced its provenance for better comprehension of the material -- while drawing attention to characteristics of laudable content (from readily verifiable sources) curiously excluded from one language version but not another, ie hiding it from certain Wikipedia readers for no apparent good reason. This isn't a lapse in "assuming good faith" rather it is trust in the good faith of prior contributors to the German page to have the confidence to transfer their good work and integrate it under an appropriate subheading as suggested by another editor. I prudently made no change to the article itself. Process my analysis as your see fit, or not, all in good faith. Can we agree to avoid any occasions of "exhortations to "Assume Good Faith" can themselves reflect negative assumptions about others." in our common, freely-willed pursuit of intellectual honesty, auch auf Deutsch sollte es Ihnen besser gefallen?

Project News Belated Happy Easter and Kalo Pascha! We're excited to announce the return of our newsletter Ichthus! Getting this issue out was touch-and-go for a while. Check out what's happening at the Project:
In March the Project saw four articles promoted to GA-Class. They were the oh-so-irresistible Delilah (nom. MagicatthemovieS) (pictured), Edict of Torda (nom. Borsoka), David Meade (author) (nom. LovelyGirl7) and last but not least Black Christmas (2006 film) (nom. Drown_Soda). Black Christmas? How did that get in there lol? Congratulations to all of the nominators for a job well done!
... that some people know Christ the Lord is risen today from Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?" Featured article Jesus (7–2 BC to 30–33 AD) is the central figure of Christianity, whom the teachings of most Christian denominations hold to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah of the Old Testament. Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that a historical Jesus existed, although there is little agreement on the reliability of the gospel narratives and how closely the biblical Jesus reflects the historical Jesus. Most scholars agree that Jesus was a Jewish preacher from Galilee, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman prefect, Pontius Pilate. Christians generally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died by crucifixion as a sacrifice to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return. The great majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, the second of three Persons of a Divine Trinity. A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, as non-scriptural. In Islam, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah. (Full article...)

Project News Last month's auspicious relaunch of our newsletter precipitated something of an uproar in the Wikipedia community. What started as a localized edit war over censorship spilled over onto the Administrator's Noticeboard finally ending up at Wikipedia's supreme judicial body ArbCom. Their ruling resulted in the admonishment of administrator Future Perfect at Sunrise for his involvement in the dispute. The story was reported by Wikipedia's venerable flagship newspaper The Signpost. The question of whether to delete all portals--including the 27 Christianity-related portals--was put to the Wikipedia community. Approximately 400 editors have participated in the protracted discussion. Going by !votes, Oppose deletion has a distinct majority. The original Christianity Portal was created on November 5, 2005 by Brisvegas and the following year he successfully nominated the portal for Featured Portal. The Transhumanist has revived WikiProject Portals with hopes of revitalizing Wikipedia's system of 1,515 portals. Stay up-to-date on the latest happenings at the Project

Featured article Operation Auca was an attempt by five Evangelical Christian missionaries from the United States to make contact with the Huaorani people of the rainforest of Ecuador. The Huaorani, also known as the Aucas, were an isolated tribe known for their violence, both against their own people and outsiders who entered their territory. With the intention of being the first Protestants to evangelize the Huaorani, the missionaries began making regular flights over Huaorani settlements in September 1955, dropping gifts. After several months of exchanging gifts, on January 2, 1956, the missionaries established a camp at "Palm Beach", a sandbar along the Curaray River, a few miles from Huaorani settlements. Their efforts culminated on January 8, 1956, when all five—Jim Elliot, Nate Saint, Ed McCully, Peter Fleming, and Roger Youderian—were attacked and speared by a group of Huaorani warriors. The news of their deaths was broadcast around the world, and Life magazine covered the event with a photo essay. The deaths of the men galvanized the missionary effort in the United States, sparking an outpouring of funding for evangelization efforts around the world. Their work is still frequently remembered in evangelical publications, and in 2006, was the subject of the film production End of the Spear. (more...)

... that in 1636, Phineas Hodson, Chancellor of York Minster, lost his 38-year-old wife Jane during the birth of the couple's 24th child? Featured article The Mortara case was a controversy precipitated by the Papal States' seizure of Edgardo Mortara, a six-year-old Jewish child, from his family in Bologna, Italy, in 1858. The city's inquisitor, Father Pier Feletti, heard from a servant that she had administered emergency baptism to the boy when he fell sick as an infant, and the Supreme Sacred Congregation of the Roman and Universal Inquisition held that this made the child irrevocably a Catholic. Because the Papal States had forbidden the raising of Christians by members of other faiths, it was ordered that he be taken from his family and brought up by the Church. After visits from the child's father, international protests mounted, but Pope Pius IX would not be moved. The boy grew up as a Catholic with the Pope as a substitute father, trained for the priesthood in Rome until 1870, and was ordained in France three years later. In 1870 the Kingdom of Italy captured Rome during the unification of Italy, ending the pontifical state; opposition across Italy, Europe and the United States over Mortara's treatment may have contributed to its downfall.
