CEC page
Hello, good work on the bishop list. I've been trying to get a hold of a fellow who's been editing the CEC page recently with an anonymous IP. You don't happen to be him, do you? Kennethmyers 20:50, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for the spell check! I hit the "compare versions" button on the history page and I was amazed! Who knew we could mispell so much and get away with it for so long! On another note, I saw on your user page that you're a programmer. What do you do, and what company do you work for, if you don't mind my asking? (It's totally not important, I just have this massive envious fascination with programming).

The map
I'm writing this from my phone while driving so pray I don't die :) I made the map while on the phone with Bp. Myers, then I sent it to him for review. Unless changes have been made in violation of the canons, without the patriarch's council (which has happened before) it should be right. Most of the parish rosters and diocescan information on the official web sites is WAY out of date. Someone really needs to put together a site that's more informative than the official sites and more objective than the blogs. If you have any suggestions for the map, please let me know. Also let me know if anything changes! (further withdrawals, etc.) Kennethmyers 21:21, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Hald,

Thanks for the info, I'll change things up as soon as I get back to home and Photoshop. Did you figure out anything else I have wrong? I understand that Jones has part of Georgia and Myers a bit of Missouri, and Adler a piece of Arizona, too. And I should definately put the diocese names! Sorry I'm so late with changing all of this, but I wanted to try to get it all straight and do it in one fell swoop. I'll try to be fast! Thank you, Kennethmyers 19:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Hald, Bp. Myers says he was given oversight of a church in the very southwest corner of Missourri (Joplin) by Bp. Davidson because he already had a relationship with the priest who was coming in. (Bp. Myers actually tells the story with great admiration, about how Bp. Davidson magnanimously said "I'm not about building my territory, I'm about building the kingdom of God") Anyhow, I made a little bump in Bp. Myers' diocese to make it cover Joplin, but it's so small you might not even notice. I tried to get everything right on the new map, incorporating everything that everyone said. Please look over it and give me your input! Kennethmyers 23:07, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your editorial diligence with regard the CEC page. Not being a member, your edits possess more objectivity than mine (though I strive for fairness). I believe the recent vandalism is from a former CEC priest in Massachusetts, who obviously has an axe to grind. It's important to him that we be labeled a Protestant group, but the label, though technically correct, doesn't fit us. Peace. Kenneth Tanner (talk) 19:25, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Pescados?
You've bested me - pescados? To me that means only fish, so I'm guessing there's either some alternate meaning that I don't know, or you're talking about Babelfish. How do you like my alternate page? We ought to make a bunch of them for every contingency, and then no matter what happens everyone will be creeped out when we have it ready and they'll think there was a conspiracy :) You know what, I don't even know your bias. That's how good of a Wikipedian you are. But if I had to guess, I'd say you're for +Adler not resigning, but against an information blackout. Am I close? I found your page and saw your picture. You look young-ish. How old are you? (I'm 24) Kennethmyers 16:11, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Worship
Hald,

Great catch! I can't believe that none of us noticed that omission any sooner. When the CEC Missal is finally completed years from now, I would expect to see the same freedom to use other historic liturgies as well.

Proposed deletion of United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri, 2010


The article United States House of Representatives elections in Missouri, 2010 has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * WP:CRYSTAL

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  elektrik SHOOS  18:39, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

(The explanation on WP:CRYSTAL specifically mentions the 2012 U.S. presidential election which is scheduled to occur in just over 2 years as an example of an appropriate topic. I would propose that the 2010 Missouri primary election which is scheduled to occur in just over 3 weeks and the following general election which is scheduled to occur in just over 4 months to be just as much of an appropriate topic.  If an individual is attempting to research information on the candidates running in the various primaries only providing the information available after the election has been held isn't helpful in that regard. Hald (talk) 19:12, 15 July 2010 (UTC))
 * Yeah, but the 2012 U.S. presidential election is a national election with potentially enormous side effects and international coverage. I'd wager that state elections, even if to a national seat, are nowhere near as notable before the election. But you're right, it's something that could be debated. I'll start an Afd discussion so there can be more feedback on it than just you and me.  elektrik SHOOS  19:52, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Please don't cite to Google News
Hi. Thanks for introducing citations to news stories into articles. But please note that you shouldn't introduce cites to Google News into articles as you did here.The cite is now a broken link.

Links to Google News break very quickly since only the last 30 days of stories are retained on its site. ( I only learned of this recently myself, btw, when I saw mention of the problem in Template:Cite_news. ) Would you please revisit your edits on the article(s) (and anywhere else you might have cited Google News), find direct links to the underlying news article, and substitute the direct link(s) for the links to Google News? I, or other editors, might have already addressed one or more such instances, but it's a time-consuming process, and your review and assistance would be very greatly appreciated.

For content that's available from its original online publisher, it's probably best to find that, and link to it directly, if possible, but you can link to Google News Archive (external link here) for content that's not available online in its original context. Links to to Google News Archive are much more permanent, as I infer. But if you do so, please be careful to do two things:


 * 1) Please be sure you're using the cite news template for your cite, as you should to cite all news stories. The cite web template should never be used to cite news stories, and a bare http ref doesn't provide fields for metadata that needs to be included.
 * 2) Please be sure to place the link to the google-archived story in the optional "archive url" field of the "cite news" template, not in the plain "url" template field. If no direct link to the original publisher's site for the content can be found, the plain "url" field should be left blank in this case. Do not put the archived document's link in the plain "url" field. Failing to follow these caveats will cause links to appear in the references section that give our readers a mistaken impression as to the sourcing for the citation.

Most of the preceding is "boilerplate" text, btw, so it's possible that not all of it will apply to your edit(s). Sorry if that's the case, but the use of cites to Google News is such an extensive problem on Wikipedia, and I come across it so often, that it's just too inefficient to write a completely custom message to relay the same facts over and over. Thanks again for adding cites, and best regards, –  OhioStandard  (talk) 07:34, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 31
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited White House Chief Usher, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page William Dubois (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:01, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Stay out of KC religion section
You are promoting specific religions and call yourself charismatic. Will seek to have you banned if you keep changing it back. Just show stats, not favor certain religions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.87.74.192 (talk) 20:52, 27 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Firstly the religion section has been relatively stable for several years. After few anonymous IP editors remove the entire section and I restore it, I am promoting specific religions? I don't think so.  Secondly whether I call myself charismatic is completely irrelevant to the issue at hand. Hald (talk) 22:26, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
