Welcome!

Hello, W.E.Ward.III, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question and then place {{helpme}} before the question on your talk page. Again, welcome!

Your signature

Can you please type four tildes like this ~~~~ at the end of your posts on discussion pages, or else use the signature button which appears in the list of tools just above the edit box while you're typing your post (tenth button from the left)? They convert automatically into your username, with a link to your user page, plus the date and time of the post. Three tildes would just give your linked username, while five would just give the date and time. At the moment, it seems as if you're typing Bill Ward manually, with no link (and in any case, your user name is W.E.Ward.III, not Bill Ward), and then typing five tildes to give the date and time. Your posts on talk pages should all link to your user page, so that people can get easily to your talk page if they want to leave a message for you. Thanks.

Hi ElinorD. That would be an incorrect thought; I'm typing four tildes and getting Bill Ward. Just like this Bill Ward 17:53, 21 July 2007 (UTC) However, I had RAW Signature checked; I'll uncheck that, and it should work. I was curious as to why it wasn't putting a hyperlink to my signature.

Apostolic Succession edits

Hi Bill:

Thanks for your feedback on my apostolic succession contribs. I've been plugging away in a rather piecemeal fashion on it. I re-worded it in accordance with your suggestions and moved it higher in the article under the "Protestant Response" section. I've tried to synthesize trends I've observed in Protestant polemics as a result of Protestant/Eastern Orthodox dialog and competition that put the doctrine of apostolic succession in a different light than it's been cast in previous Roman Catholic-Protestant debates. Hopefully, I've got enough source citations and wikified words that the section doesn't seem like "Original Research." --ManicBrit (talk) 18:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Holy Apostles Anglican/Roman Catholic Church

I just googled your parish and, wow, talk about notable! Why is there no article for it here at wiki? -- Secisek (talk) 21:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Herman Hollerith

Please stop inserting that blurb about Hollerith's great-grandson in his article. The family section of a biography article is supposed to be about the subject of the article. In general it should stick to relatives he knew and interacted with, or ancestors who had some influence on his upbringing. It should not be a laundry list of people who happen to be able to place him on their genealogical charts. The article is about the life and works of Herman Hollerith, after all.

If Bishop Hollerith is notable, and I think the case can be made, please feel free to write an article about him. Odds are that, given they have the same first and last names, a Hollerith disambiguation page would follow that would lead to his article. Rklear (talk) 00:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. A new article on the bishop can be created. - Astrochemist (talk) 13:12, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I notice your interest in the article which is now called "Catholic Church". This subject is presently under discussion at arbitration if you are interested.[1] - I myself only found out because somebody was kind enough to tip me off. Taam (talk) 16:11, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
