Elijah Message Info
Thanks for all the info you sent on the different Elijah Message churches this morning. Over the next few days, I hope to have a chance to really look it over and see how best to incorporate it into the article(s). Thanks again, and keep up the good work! - Ecjmartin (talk) 00:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your comments! I didn't mind your archiving the messages you'd left on my talk page; it wasn't necessary to do so, but I understand why you wanted to, and I appreciate your thoughtfulness.  I shall look forward to your new contributions about Mr. Fetting; you've already improved the articles you've been working on immensely, and I'll be glad to "pitch in" and help out any way I can.  Thanks again! - Ecjmartin (talk) 21:48, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Draft for new article
(I want to learn more about this organization before I create an article for it). EGDJ (talk) 18:35, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

The Indian Ministries Council of the Americas (IMCA) is a social outreach organization established to assist and promote Native American well-being and spirituality. The organization is closely interrelated with Latter-day Saint Restoration Branches and the mainline Community of Christ church, and both those organizations' historic affiliation with Mormon views regarding ancient and modern Native American history and beliefs. The organization is headquartered in Grain Valley, Missouri, part of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area which has been "sacred" in Mormonism since late 1830, when Latter-day Saint evangelists arrived in the region to promote belief in a "Latter-day" Zion and "Temple" and "New Jerusalem" in which Native Americans and Native American spirituality were expected to play a prominent role. The IMCA is not to be confused with the CAIM "Council for American Indian Ministry" which is likewise a Christian social outreach program, but affiliated with the United Church of Christ founded in 1957, not the Latter-day Saint Movement founded in 1829.

Draft Article
Hey EGDJ. I saw you were making a draft article. Instead of placing it here on your talk page, you are welcome to create it inside your own userspace at User:EGDJ/Indian Ministries Council of the Americas. Pages created in your userspace are not at risk of speedy deletion, and once the article is ready you can move it to the main article space. Stickee (talk)  22:05, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

great osage trail v. osage trail
If the article is better titled as the Great Osage Trail, you should be able to move it there. The old name was simply wrong in too many ways. I moved it based on the contents of the article. Moving and clarifying the introduction is fine as I have no interest really, I just ran into this looking in other areas and attempted to improve the article's name. If you need help in moving, let me know. Vegaswikian (talk) 04:57, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Church of Christ (Hedrickite)
A tag has been placed on Church of Christ (Hedrickite) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
