Edit war warning

[edit]
Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Ai (Canaan) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

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.

Korvex, you're feeling frustrated and that frustration is leading you to do things that I think you wouldn't normally do. Remember above all that Wikipedia doesn't matter, it's just words. Other things in the real world matter, not this. So if you want to go on editing Wikipedia (it can be fun), stay calm and cultivate detachment. And always remember that the other person is probably just as human as you are. PiCo (talk) 00:55, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. But a lot of people take Wikipedia's word as Gospel. So it's annoying to watch people defend things which are, sometimes in the conversation, blatantly false. But thanks.Korvex (talk) 19:13, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't accuse me or anyone of slander

[edit]

Knock it off please. It only makes you look silly. If I found an editor I didn't know saying that about someone else, I'd probably tell them to retract it or be blocked for what might be considered a legal threat. You've got every right to disagree with my criticisms, no right to accuse me of doing something illegal. Doug Weller talk 14:27, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the use of the word "slander" was an exaggeration, but I do think false statements were made about me. I also exaggerate some of the things I say a lot, so I should perhaps put in a disclaimer or something. LOL
It wasn't about you, you said I was slandering scholars. Criticising, yes. Slander, no. Doug Weller talk 18:40, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough.Korvex (talk) 03:03, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Knock off the personal attacks

[edit]

Your comments about Tgeorgescu are unconscionable. You've got to stop this. Doug Weller talk 19:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing I said was an attack on Tgeorg. I simply attacked the wacky idea that if one accepts the Bible is true, they should conclude that they should worship Zulu instead of Jesus. I attacked the idea, not the person -- such criticisms are always acceptable. I never swore either, of course.Korvex (talk) 00:13, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
"sold yourself to pure fundamentalism" is personal. As was "utterly entered the recesses of the fringe." As is "Zero has taken the literally mad view that Doherty". All are clear attacks and do not show an acceptance that they are good faith editors. Using such language is anything but conducive to a collegial atmosphere, no matter how tyoy chop it. Doug Weller talk 08:00, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Take a closer look at the discussion, Doug -- I'd be hardpressed to say that invoking Zulu as an explanation for biblical miracles is anything but the recesses of fringe, according to how Wikipedia defines it. I'd like to assume good faith for Theorg, but when he says something like that it's hard to interpret it otherwise. Zulu as en explanation for biblical miracles is also a mad view and pure fundamentalism. My statements are correct -- the only question is if whether or not I could have been 'nicer', but it's hard to convey to someone they are making such an error without putting their views down.Korvex (talk) 13:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
There are polite ways to disagree with someone. Zulu was attempting to make some kind of point about the nature of miraculous explanations by using a deliberately far-fetched example. If you think his thought experiment doesn't make sense, you could easily say "Your thought experiment doesn't make sense" without resorting to needlessly harsh language. The same goes for your repeated dismissal of people's arguments by saying "LOL." Wikipedia is a community of volunteers who are all trying to work together to make the world's largest and most-used encyclopedia better. It's a volunteer project, not a YouTube comments section. Attacking the other volunteers isn't going to help anything, especially if you find yourself in a situation where you're trying to bring them over to your point of view on something.

Sockpuppet investigation

[edit]

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Korvex, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

After being accused of sockpuppetry for ridiculously vague reasons, I have been acquitted of these nonsense charges.Korvex (talk) 15:37, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

POV edit at Ai (Canaan))

[edit]

You wrote "However,scholars are not entirely certain that Et-Tell is the location of Ai. Koert van Bekkum says that there is scholarly discussion on the location of several biblical cities, including Ai,[1] citing Bryant G. Wood who has recently come to identify Ai with Khirbet el-Maqatir." Did you actually read your source? I have, I think, two choices. One is to believe that you didn't and you got this from elsewhere. The other is to believe that you did and misrepresented it, violating NPOV by ignoring the fact that what the source actually says is "The stratification of Jericho is complex, but it looks as if the conclusion that the city was uninhabited during the Late Bronze Age is hard to avoid.113 Et-Tell, identified by most scholars with the city of Ai, was not settled between the Early Bronze and Iron Age I." Oh sure, he then says "In some of these cases, this interpretation of the evidence is challenged or the identification of the excavated mounds with the biblical cities is questioned." and cites not just Wood by Livingston also. He then adds "But although a number of the alternative proposals may be plausible, none of them is entirely convincing. Most of the time the claims of the biblical account are more or less modified, and the material remains are tended to be looked upon as tangible proof of what is supposed to have happened. As a result, the conclusions find clear support in neither the Bible nor archaeology. Therefore, the debates about the non-existing cities show that in the case of the conquest, archaeology can not function as undisputed ‘external evidence’." Your edit misrepresents the source.

Project News
By Lionelt

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.

The reconstructed frame of Nate Saint's plane used in Operation Auca

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...)

The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara, painting by Moritz Daniel Oppenheim, 1862. This depiction departs significantly from the historical record of how Mortara was taken—no clergy were present, for example.
The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara

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.

    3. Martin Luther King Jr. – can't wait to see the new US$5 bill featuring the "I Have a Dream" speech
    4. Seven deadly sins – surprisingly "original research" is not one of the Seven deadly sins
    5. Mary, Queen of Scots – arrested for Reigning While Catholic (RWC)
    6. Michael Curry (bishop) – our article says that he upstaged Meghan at her wedding. Did you see her wedding pictures? All I can say is {{dubious}}

The Last Judgment by painter Hans Memling.

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events. Predictions of apocalyptic events that would result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been made since at least the beginning of the Christian Era. Most predictions are related to Abrahamic religions, often standing for or similar to the eschatological events described in their scriptures. Christian predictions typically refer to events like the Rapture, Great Tribulation, Last Judgment, and the Second Coming of Christ.

Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime, with percentages raging from 6% of people in France to 22% in the US and Turkey. In the UK in 2015, the general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Between one and three percent of people from both countries thought the apocalypse would be caused by zombies or alien invasion. (more...)

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork, Ireland

Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral is a Gothic Revival three-spire cathedral in the city of Cork, Ireland. It belongs to the Church of Ireland and was completed in 1879. The cathedral is located on the south side of the River Lee, on ground that has been a place of worship since the 7th century, and is dedicated to Finbarr of Cork, patron saint of the city. It was once in the Diocese of Cork; it is now one of the three cathedrals in the Church of Ireland Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross, in the ecclesiastical province of Dublin. Christian use of the site dates back to a 7th-century AD monastery, which according to legend was founded by Finbarr of Cork. The entrances contain the figures of over a dozen biblical figures, capped by a tympanum showing a Resurrection scene. (more...)

When God Writes Your Love Story: The Ultimate Approach to Guy/Girl Relationships is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy, an American married couple. After becoming a bestseller on the Christian book market, the book was republished in 2004 and then revised and expanded in 2009. It tells the story of the authors' first meeting, courtship, and marriage. The authors advise single people not to be physically or emotionally intimate with others, but to wait for the spouse that God has planned for them.

The book is divided into five sections and sixteen chapters. Each chapter is written from the perspective of one of the two authors; nine are by Eric, while Leslie wrote seven, as well as the introduction. The Ludys argue that one's love life should be both guided by and subordinate to one's relationship with God. Leslie writes that God offers new beginnings to formerly unchaste or sexually abused individuals. (more...)

Сретение Господне ("The Meeting of the Lord"), a depiction of Simeon recognising Jesus at the Temple, from a fifteenth-century Novgorodskye School Russian icon.
Сретение Господне ("The Meeting of the Lord"), a depiction of Simeon recognising Jesus at the Temple, from a fifteenth-century Novgorodskye School Russian icon.

A Song for Simeon, is a 37-line poem written in 1928 by American-English poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). It is one of five poems that Eliot contributed to the Ariel poems series of 38 pamphlets by several authors published by Faber and Gwyer. "A Song for Simeon" was the sixteenth in the series and included an illustration by avant garde artist Edward McKnight Kauffer. The poem's narrative echoes the text of the Nunc dimittis, a liturgical prayer for Compline from the Gospel passage. Eliot introduces literary allusions to earlier writers Lancelot Andrewes, Dante Alighieri and St. John of the Cross. Critics have debated whether Eliot's depiction of Simeon is a negative portrayal of a Jewish figure and evidence of anti-Semitism on Eliot's part. (more...)

Quotes
"Faith lived in the incognito is one which is located outside the criticism coming from society, from politics, from history, for the very reason that it has itself the vocation to be a source of criticism. It is faith (lived in the incognito) which triggers the issues for the others, which causes everything seemingly established to be placed in doubt, which drives a wedge into the world of false assurances."
~ Jacques Ellul
French philosopher, sociologist, and professor who was a noted Christian anarchist.
