Gospel of John
Thanks for your message. I tried to see what changes you had made, but the compare-versions function was of no use and I couldn't tell what you had done. I hope it was all for the best. Leadwind (talk) 22:16, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Myth
If we can make it clear that the word is being used with a specific meaning there shouldn't be a problem - I hope. But some people seem to live to be offended, and others, I fear, live only to offend.

I'm having fun "over here." That is to say, Cambodia. I'm investigating Cambodian ghosts, specifically those that move in with people. And how to then get rid of them. The Buddhist monks, apparently, aren't much help - they insist that ghosts aren't real, and all they'll do is make a chant that tells everyone to attend to the word of the Buddha. They use this same chant for every conceivable occasion - weddings, deaths, newborns, and of course ghosts. So people turn to what I guess you have to call witches - they're really female shamans, "spirits" enter into them and they then give advice. Unfortunately Cambodia's most famous witch refuses to see me - I hope it's not personal. This afternoon I'm seeing an ex-monk who seems to be something of an authority on the subject, and I hope he can suggest alternatives. PiCo (talk) 06:09, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I had no idea the extent of your bravery. But then, ghosts and witches are probably mild for a seasoned Wiki warrior! It sounds very interesting, but also somewhat scary. Hope the ex-monk meeting goes well and is fruitful. But take good care of yourself: I hope to see your article some day, but nothing about a star reporter being detained or something. I have heard from Christian missionaries about bizarre encounters with the evil supernatural in places where the worship of evil is so rampant that they see things in far-flung places that they were not prepared for. Am claiming for you! I'd like to hear how it all turns out, and that you're fine! ─AFA Prof01 (talk) 06:30, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

When these concerns, which you can see at Talk:United States Air Force Academy/GA1, have been addressed you may renominate the article at WP:GAN.
