Main Page appearance: When God Writes Your Love Story

This is a note to let the main editors of When God Writes Your Love Story know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on August 26, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask featured article director Raul654 (talk · contribs) or one of his delegates (Dabomb87 (talk · contribs), Gimmetoo (talk · contribs), and Bencherlite (talk · contribs)), or start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests. You can view the TFA blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/August 26, 2013. If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

When God Writes Your Love Story is a 1999 book by Eric and Leslie Ludy (pictured), 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 life partner that God has planned for them. 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. Leah Andrews of the Lewiston Morning Tribune compared When God Writes Your Love Story to other popular Christian books providing alternatives to dating, including Joshua Harris's I Kissed Dating Goodbye and Boy Meets Girl. American college professors Margaret and Dwight Peterson responded to the Ludys' book by writing an essay called "God Does Not Want to Write Your Love Story," in which the Petersons argue that the book makes young people see marriage as a fantasy comparable to that of Disney Princesses.

Edits to When God Writes Your Love Story

Hey Neelix,

I made several changes to When God Writes Your Love Story and I'd like you to review them. I tried to fully explain in the edit summaries, but if you have any comments, please share them with me.

Also, I added two inline cleanup templates that I would like you to address. One is regarding the term "bitingly" which sounds inflammatory and unsourced based on the content in that section. The other is the source that claims the Petersons said that the lyrics to the song "Faithfully" sought "a kind of unachievable perfection in their future marriage and spouse." I checked the source on Google Books and it not mention the song at all. If you could review and deal with these two problems, that's be awesome.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that the article is going to be featured on Monday! That's amazing. Congrats on all your hard work, and I hope that my edits only built upon it. Obviously, if you don't log on between now and then, I will take care of the my two remaining issues so that we don't have any "issue" templates on a main page article.

Thanks, man! American Eagle (talk) 03:19, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Hey Neelix,

I'll be brief because I'm on my way to work. I still disagree with this edit because the Ludys did not suggest "a single should marry this person rather than independently choosing a mate" in the source. DeMoss claims that they did. If DeMoss claimed that the Ludys are trying to get kids to join the Illuminati, would that make it so because a secondary source is claiming it? No. Secondary sources cannot manufacture statements on behalf of the person they are reporting on. If you want to include this, you need to write it is follows: "In her book Lies Women Believe: And the Truth that Sets Them Free, Christian author Nancy Leigh DeMoss claimed that the Ludys suggest that a single should marry this person rather than independently choosing a mate."

Thanks for the tips regarding the Ellerslie employees. They contacted me, too. I don't think they were expecting an article by Ludy to be featured. ;) But my edits aren't promotional at all. The statement by DeMoss makes a declarative statement about the authors and I think you are misrepresenting the Ludys by including it without noting who actually made the suggestion. American Eagle (talk) 18:25, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

I just think that if we have a source backing a statement by an author, it should be clear in the source that they actually said it. However, I'm not worried about it because I see your logic, and since you literally wrote this article, I will concede. It looks great on the main page! I will keep an eye on the page for vandalism. Please let me know if I can help. I give you my sincerest applause. You're a sharp writer. I considered giving you a barnstar, but Cliftonian already gave you one for this article, and you probably have too many for your own good. :) Take care. American Eagle (talk) 03:57, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Re: Deprecated parameters

Hi, just to let you know the category is now hidden, and Text should be removed once the infobox is updated. Looking at When God Writes Your Love Story, I was going to update publisher and publication date into published, but wasn't sure which of the two publishers (Loyal Publishing, Multnomah Books) did the first edition, whether they both did or whatnot (one of the unclear things about the old publisher2 parameter); let me know if you'd like a hand updating it, and again, sorry for the trouble. --xensyria^T 03:27, 25 August 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the copyedit, Baffle! Whatever problems remain with the article, I should be in a better position to address them now that you've worked on the article so thoroughly. Neelix (talk) 03:57, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

No worries; good luck with the article. :-) Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 04:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Ken MacLeod's Descent novel page redirects to Michael Winterbottom

On the Ken MacLeod page there is a link to his upcoming novel "Descent". However the article page for the novel is a redirect to Michael Winterbottom. I know this redirect was created a very long time ago but I don't see any link between the two, unless I missed something. Can I remove this redirect so I can create a page for the novel. Teh klev (talk) 07:20, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Religion

Hi. I've noticed in your style of editing you appear to heavily imply that your Christian God exists. As you are aware the text on wikipedia should not imply or indicate that. I think that is something to consider when you edit, IRWolfie- (talk) 22:54, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Wolfie -- welcome to wikipedia! What a coincidence to see you here as well! I've noticed that you have an interest in editing articles on classic Greek philosophies such as Pyrrhonism! Your style of user-talkpage editing might be considered uncivil or disrespectful, which is a flat-out violation of WP:NICE hereabouts, also known as pillar four! Perhaps you should review it after taking an ice-cold shower! Then I highly recommend the fascinating articles on WP:WEASEL! Some people think weasel words are great! But... I'm not one of those people. In fact, your tone suggests you are under the delusion that you not only WP:OWN some particular article on wikipedia, but that you run the whole thing. Recommend you check your premises. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 05:33, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

p.s. Howdy, Neelix -- just stopped by to say thanks, I noticed you fixed a redirect a few years ago, which had been incorrect for quite a long time before your good work. Thanks for improving wikipedia, see you around. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 05:33, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the Barnstar.

I really appreciate it.

It's nice to know that my quality improvement projects on this website are appreciated and acknowledged.

When God Writes Your Love Story main page appearance and aftermath

Hi Neelix, While I didn't support this article's promotion I was pleased to see it on the main page. The response it's subsequently received since strikes me as rather disappointing, and I hope that you're not too discouraged. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 11:44, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Seconded. If there's some way I can lend a hand do let me know. —Cliftonian (talk) 13:03, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Thank you, both of you. Certainly, any help in constructively engaging in the discussions on the article's talk page would be greatly appreciated. Neelix (talk) 02:41, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Would you like to OA for a Molecular Biology course project?

Hi David,

I and User:Keilana are OAs for this course project. Another professor, teaching another section of the same course, has just decided that she would also like to run this Wikipedia project. This is very last minute -- the course officially starts tomorrow. But as you can see, the course page is already thoroughly documented and very detailed, and so the role you would play would be as a mentor and guide for editing, and as a reviewer for articles as they are written.

Would you be able to help with this? If so, could you please let us know as soon as possible? I will be setting up the new section's course page this evening. Thanks! Klortho (talk) 20:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm so glad you can help! Could you sign yourself up as an Online volunteer on [course page]? Scroll all the way down to the bottom. The professor doesn't have any Wikipedia experience, so I'm a little bit worried about this. But hopefully with enough hand-holding, everything will go smoothly. Klortho (talk) 12:40, 4 September 2013 (UTC)

Adding "you didn't build that" in Speeches of Barack Obama

Since the merger proposal failed, could you perhaps add a summary about the speech or phrase without merger in any way? --George Ho (talk) 06:16, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm good at writing short biographies and expanding/creating fictional works. I know that I can't insert too many reactions, but writing a perfect summary isn't easy. I couldn't summarize about Warren's and Obama's remarks and speeches. I'm not that good, especially with sources that are unilateral, poly-lateral, bilateral, whatever. --George Ho (talk) 16:27, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

Edit request for NASHI

Firstly, thank you for creating this page. It provides great information about an organization I belong to. There is however one item I would ask that you remove.

Several of NASHI's members are also activists for the Public Service Alliance of Canada.[8]

While this is factually correct (we have two members who belong to the PSAC), being the only description of our members gives the impression that we are somehow affiliated with this union or directly support it's views. NASHI has members from many faiths, atheists, union members, those who work in management, retired persons, and ages from 18 to 80. Our only common ground is the fight against trafficking.

I could edit this myself buy wanted to give you an explanation directly. Thank you for considering this request.

Hi Neelix, fellow Canadian! I'm one of the Molecular Biology students at JHU. Thanks for being our ambassador.

Here's to a great project! --Pozmi (talk) 04:34, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

Main Page appearance: Kellie Loder

This is a note to let the main editors of Kellie Loder know that the article will be appearing as today's featured article on October 10, 2013. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. If you prefer that the article appear as TFA on a different date, or not at all, please ask Bencherlite (talk · contribs).

If it needs tweaking, or if it needs rewording to match improvements to the article between now and its main page appearance, please edit it, following the instructions at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests/instructions. The blurb as it stands now is below:

Kellie Loder (born 1988) is an independent singer-songwriter from Newfoundland who plays drums, guitar and piano. Having written her first song at age 16 about a cousin who died in a traffic accident, Loder was studying nursing at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland when she released her first album, The Way, in August 2009. Later that year, she won a talent-search contest hosted by YC Newfoundland, a Christian youth conference. As part of the award, Loder was given time with music industry and production professionals who helped her with Imperfections & Directions, her second album, which was released at the 2010 YC Newfoundland. Loder's nursing studies hampered her ability to showcase Imperfections & Directions by touring. Loder was nominated as Female Artist of the Year at the 2010 MusicNL awards, and then as Gospel Artist of the Year in 2011. Imperfections & Directions was nominated as Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year at the 2012 Juno Awards. Loder has asserted that she chose to begin her career in Contemporary Christian music because it gives purpose to her music. (Full article...)

Kellie Loder

Hi Neelix - just to clarify why I linked David and Goliath in place of David and Goliath. The article refers specifically to the story of David and Goliath - not to either one of them as individuals. Behind the scenes, the joint link redirects to Goliath, which is fine - anyone wanting to know about the background to the song will find it there (unlike the "David" article, which has a lot of unrelated material and anyway refers the reader to "Goliath" for a full account of the story). Colonies Chris (talk) 08:33, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

Beaver Tail

I think you really needed to discuss that move when the article was still on the main page, and you left a lot of broken links to Beaver Tail (railcar). Would you consider reversing yourself? We don't have a topic on the British car so further disambiguation really was not necessary. The American car is, in any event, almost certainly the primary topic. Cheers, Mackensen (talk) 03:47, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Hey there, I just came across this article (in the course of filling out the newly-created Category:American women social scientists‎), and I'm wondering about several of the categories that you've got the article placed in, because there is nothing in the text to confirm that she is in fact properly considered an academic. Could you please address that in the article? (And please be kind enough to leave me a note on my Talk page.) Thanks! Cgingold (talk) 13:01, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

"Worm" picture

Worm - really human pathogen?

Hi Neelix,
in the german Wikipedia we had a discussion on the worm photograph you uploaded to the english wikipedia in 2009. You wrote "I am the originator of this photo. I hold the copyright. I release it to the public domain. This photo depicts a worm which was extracted from a human foot." and this is questioned. The "worm" seems to be a larvae of a Buprestidae, but all these are living in plants and not in flesh - I cannot imagine a scenario how this larvae can get into a human's foot. Do you have any ideas? Greetings from Germany, -- Achim Raschka (talk) 17:46, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Achim,

Thank you for taking an interest in this photograph. I was working with Tshelanyemba Mission Hospital in Zimbabwe a few years ago and I personally know the doctor who extracted the pictured organism from a woman's foot. The doctor had no idea what the organism was, so I took a picture and added it to Wikipedia, hoping that someone would be able to identify it. Are you confident that the organism is a Buprestidae larvae and that such larvae do not bore into human heels? Neelix (talk) 02:04, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

Let's talk here: I personally also had no idea and only tried to clean-up the commons category. I added this unidentified worm (be sure that it is a larvae) to the german identification page (de:Wikipedia:Redaktion_Biologie/Bestimmung#Knackn.C3.BCsse:_Wurm_..._.3F.2C_Skelettteile) to identify. I got two answers that this organism looks more like a Buprestidae than anything else - and Buprestidae normally bore in plants and under the bark of wood. I will discuss more but it's pretty curious ... -- Achim Raschka (talk) 05:35, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

As a temporary talkpage stalker who happened by... I can only say... usually I enjoy learning new things from wikipedia... but... not this particular new thing. Yikes!  :-)     74.192.84.101 (talk) 05:39, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Logybaymiddlecoveoutercove.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Logybaymiddlecoveoutercove.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Adopt a Course

Hi Neelix! I'm a composition instructor at the University of Miami, and have just begun a new project with my composition class. There are nine students in the class, and the goal of the project is for each of them to interact with Wikipedia(ns) in some meaningful way. This would mean finding a stub and adding content, resources, definitions, or copy-editing as necessary; translating an article (or part); or even creating a wanted page. This will all depend on the individual projects the students come up with, and how ambitious/motivated they are. I'm writing to ask if you might be interested in serving as our ambassador (or one of them, if you feel 8 is too much for your to take on): what we're in need of is someone we can run the contributions by to see that they meet with the Wikipedia philosophy, policies and best practices, as well as someone that can help us on the technical side of basic contributions to Wikipedia. We appreciate your taking the time to read and respond! --Twomilkmaids (talk) 21:31, 31 October 2013 (UTC)Lauren

Thanks, Neelix! I'll act as mediator between myself and our students, so that you don't have multiple messages from all of them flooding your talk page. It'll also keep you from having to keep track of who is from my course and who is another individual in want of your help. We're going to start work on editing a Wikipedia page as a class so that they get some experience with this kind of work with some guidance first. Then they can start working on their own projects. From now on I'll respond on my talk page, so that we don't overload your page. Twomilkmaids (talk) 17:50, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

Article moves

Hi Neelix. I'm not very familiar with article moving, so I'm hoping you can help (I know you do quite a bit of this, e.g. recently on my Marine Gate article). There was an article that was originally at the title Norfolk Hotel, Fremantle, which you moved to Norfolk Hotel because disambiguation was not needed. I will shortly be writing an article on Norfolk Hotel, Brighton (yet another Brighton building article!!); do you know if it's OK to simply move Norfolk Hotel back to Norfolk Hotel, Fremantle and to then create a dab page at Norfolk Hotel, or could that cause any problems with redirects or anything else? I won't do anything until I am ready to launch the article in mainspace, which was going to be today but which looks like it might actually be later in the week.

Many thanks for your help. I'll leave an explanatory note in the edit summary as well when I do it. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 22:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Nefarious: Merchant of Souls, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Mike Bickle (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Slovenly listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Slovenly. Since you had some involvement with the Slovenly redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Launchballer 17:55, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

FA congratulations

Just a quick note to congratulate you on the promotion of Nefarious: Merchant of Souls to FA status recently. I know you know all about WP:TFAR and the "pending" list, so this is just a reminder to use them as and when suits you. Many thanks. Bencherlite^Talk 11:34, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I also want to extend my congratulations! I have to admit, at first I'd ignored the FAC because, based on the name and the FAC intro, I'd assumed it was about a video game. When I saw what the article was really about, I wish I could have helped out sooner. Anyway, congrats again. – Quadell ^(talk) 13:44, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Well done also from me. —Cliftonian (talk) 15:03, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Request your quick thoughts

If you have a few minutes, could you do a quick look through an article I'm looking to bring up for FAC Kirkpatrick Chapel and let me know your thoughts/where it can be improved, etc. I haven't proposed it yet and am thinking of doing so in a week or so. --ColonelHenry (talk) 14:41, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Sorry

Hi Neelix, Sorry I couldn't get round to your excellent article's FAC. I have been very busy of late what with reviews, article defending and of course, real life. It looks like you didn't need my review after all what with its promotion! Congratulations! Cassianto^Talk 23:32, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

I supported on the condition it doesn't collide with mine ;-) Cassianto^Talk 23:56, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

Revised CFD

Note: I revised the nomination at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2013_November_10#Category:Women_by_province_or_territory_in_Canada into a merge to the already extant categories, with a purge of individual biographies (sub cats, like Category:Actresses from Quebec could remain) Please take a look and see if that changes your !vote.
