JW in the Nazi regime
The 80% of the article is limited to the Declaration of Facts and it dosn't cover the period of persecution from 1933-1945. There are many things to be written yet.--Vassilis78 (talk) 13:18, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Jeffro .. sorry if it seems a bit pedantic ... but I must insist that it is in fact a matter of Australian common law (following the High Court's Mabo decision) that locally indigenous people who continue to observe laws and customs for land hold a native title to unallocated lands .. and these indigenous property rights have existed, still exist, and will exist into the future within Australian law, recognisable by the courts.
While it is true the local Yidinji peoples recognise themselves as the original or traditonal owners of Cairns .. my intended emphasis was on the more significant fact that a native title MAY very well still exist in Australian law (recognisable by Australian Courts) .. as the local Yidinji people assert that they hold such title .. yet the Australian Courts have not yet verified/confirmed/affirmed the existence and/or extent of such title .. :-) .. You can believe me on this!! Bruceanthro (talk) 15:30, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
- Oh well .. I guess I/we can't really expect too much subtlety in a single line of Cairns history .. The finer point that indigenous property rights (ie native title) are capable of existing in an unregistered form (both as a matter of fact and as a matter of Australian law) is likely to escape the majority of readers anyway!! Will let you get back to your larger (and more significant) editing activities .. with the best of cheer .. Bruceanthro (talk) 00:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Nativity of Jesus
Jeff, would you mind commenting on a content dispute at Nativity of Jesus. It concerns a table comparing the accounts of Matthew and Luke. There are concerns over the use of primary sources, OR, novel synthesis, lack of explanation/context which would be afforded by prose, and even its necessity, given the section "The nativity as myth". The table can be seen at this version of the page: [1] at section 1.3, "The narratives compared". Discussion on the issue can be found at Talk:Nativity of Jesus, in the threads "The two narratives compared", "The two narratives compared, part 2", and at "Task List (January 15, 2009)". Your input on the issue would be greatly appreciated, as very few persons have commented on it. Thank you, Jeff. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 19:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Question
Hello,
I noticed you're a part of WikiProject Jehovah's Witnesses (a project I didn't even know existed until this evening), and I was just wondering if you were a witness yourself and if you could provide me with a little info as to how this project works. Thanks! ZackTuren (talk) 04:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
