Welcome
Hi Cantara, thank you very much for the warm welcome at en.wikipedia.org. I'm sure I'll enjoy working a little bit for Wikipedia, even though I probably won't be too much around here because I'm actually from Germany and my English isn't quite good enough to write good articles for en.wikipedia.org, but hopefully I'll be able to do some corrections or add some information occasionally.

AFA
Hail Cantara! I just saw your edits at Ásatrú Folk Assembly and have a few comments (I initially created the entry). I think inserting the section 'Uinversalists vs. Folkist' is a bit reductionist. For one, the term folkist is never used - not even by McNallen. The AFA - old and new variants - has always been folkish and most Asatru groups in North America are folkish (or at least tribalist). Thus your insertion "The new AFA was founded in part to attempt to insert a folkish organization into the growing Ásatrú movement" is redundant - the Alliance and many other groups are decidedly folkish and were already extant. Also, the AFA never disbanded per se - it became a non-membership organization. The AFA website still existed and was still updated, the Bearclaw was still sent out, etc. Also, the Runestone has been defunct ever since the AFA re-formed (as per McNallen himself) that is why I intentionally omitted reference to it.

I think the Uni vs. Folkist section is pointless and is ultimately asking for moral commentary by every editor who comes upon the entry. Simply mentioning that the AFA is folkish and what being folkish entails, will suffice. However, there is quite an overlap in membership in so called "universalist" groups within the AFA currently - most notably the Troth and the Rune Gild. McNallen attends Troth gatherings and the former steersman of the Troth is an AFA member. I am strongly considering deleting the sub-section unless you offer some compelling reasons not to.

Not trying to be an ass, I'm just a stickler for accuracy. WeniWidiWiki 03:59, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

I went ahead and redacted the section - please feel free to talk about it here, on my talk page or via Email. One of the other concerns I have is that currently Folkish redirects to an entry called Völkisch movement which in no way represents what the AFA or McNallen advocate.

Swarthmore
You're a student at Swarthmore? I'm considering applying there next year (possibly early decision). What do you think? Any words of wisdom for me? Neutralitytalk 01:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Traditionalism
I wanted to let you know that I have replied to your comment regarding traditionalism. From what I saw, there seem to be some tie-ins between Michael Moynihan and nazi mysticism. Perhaps he should be mentioned there as well?

Cheers,

Referencing categories
At Talk:Objectivism and homosexuality, I added a colon to your 'category' reference. See Help:Category (which, I readily admit, is hard to find). Without the leading colon, your link actually put the Talk page into the category :-) . I am explaining at length, because it is considered rude to edit other editors' talk, even with a comment, and rudeness was not at all my intent.  Best wishes at Swarthmore!--TJ 13:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

removing articles for deletion
I'm sorry I removed the thing about deleting it. I thought it said I could remove it. I guess I just didn't understand. I won't do it again.

ok thanks for all your help! Lbr123 13:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Re:Moynihan
No problem, and i agree with you about the vandals ! - Happy editing. -- No Guru 06:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Medieval Women
I've joined you wikiproject, medieval women, just post on my user page what I can do to help and I will... Sotakeit 20:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Meister Eckhart
I noticed, and then erased the comment (as you might've noticed). --Kripkenstein 22:08, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

attention tag
Replying to this: I didn't remove the tag because I disagreed with it; I just got rid of it en passant because I had tided up the style on the newpage and added a proper stub tag, so it wasn't any longer in need of attention (just expansion). I don't know if I'm really qualified to give advice on this, but I like to use attention for articles that are obviously screwed up, and only when I don't have time to fix them myself. Otherwise tags like cleanup-date or wikify or context or confusing etc. are usually better because they are more specific. Cheers! &mdash; brighterorange  (talk) 03:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

LAM page
The text for the LAM Wikipedia page was ok'd by LAM. So there is no copyright violation.

Bibliography project
I noticed that you removed my handy dandy template - don't worry about it, your reasoning is totally valid. Yes, every article should have a great, extensive bibliography. I'm mostly trying to figure out the best way to spread the word about the project I want to start. Because for whatever reason, every article doesn't have a great bibliography. As I was saying to Lar on my own talk page, I was very impressed by the extent and potential usefulness of the bibliography at Meister Eckhart, and I want to find a way to make all articles look like that. I think a project is the best way because, in the same way that you need to remind people to coordinate their efforts in improving articles in Random Category X, we're going to need to have people make a conscious change in the way they think about sources. If a few of us get together and start working on a few relatively high-profile articles, other people will get the idea and *avalanche*! Cantara 02:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, sorry about that I did give it some thought before doing it and I knew it might appear a little rude so again sorry. The thing is, the talk page at the top of that article is bursting with templates already, and the new Beatles WikiProject has kinda claimed responsibility for that turf :P I'm sure we can work together and if you're going to manage bibliographies for us you could get a mention in our project template or on our project page? --kingboyk 11:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

SWIL
Just a heads-up, but I've put the Swarthmore Warders of Imaginative Literature article up for deletion as a vanity article. Give me a good reason why it's not and I'll retract it, but I don't think we're an encyclopedic topic of note to the world at large. If we are, several other student clubs at Swarthmore deserve the title more, and we'd see a cascade of articles on every college's hundreds of clubs.--Arthur
