Hey Joesph!
Welcome to Wikipedia! Great to see some of your pics for Rail transport in New Zealand --Lholden 04:55, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, thanks for adding some pictures! It definitely helps the quality of the articles. Plus I love them on a personal railfan level.

Secondly, thanks for correcting the silly typos I made on the Main North Line and SIMT articles! I even proofread the pages and still missed them. Maybe I need to not update Wikipedia at midnight! - Axver 05:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Christian eschatology
Hi Joseph. I'm sure you can count, and realise I was not 3RR (which requires more than three reverts in 24 hours). That aside, your additions are simply wrong. You're clearly confusing a belief in the afterlife with a belief in the resurrection of the dead, as your references show. Read them carefully and you'll see the difference. (The Pharisees article even discusses the fact that Josephus was motivated to distinguish between Pharasaic and Sadducean beliefs about the soul and resurrection of the dead by the interests of his Hellenised audience.) Finally, your choice of phrasing ", however it is apparent..." is not appropriate to an encyclopaedia. Instead, were the evidence you linked actually in contradiction to evidence already in the article, you might write ". Others including XXX and YYY point to AAA as evidence of..." or some similar formulation. &#0151; JEREMY 01:45, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Thank you for your comments. I am aware of where the reversion count stands, but you should also be aware that the article makes it plain that "It does not grant users an inalienable right to three reverts every 24 hours or endorse reverts as an editing technique. Persistent reversion remains strongly discouraged and is unlikely to constitute working properly with others." Basically, reversion is frowned upon, with few exceptions. There are numerous recommendations for other ways to deal with material over which there may be differing views. In any such instance, it would have been appropriate to leave the edit in place and apply the tag to request supporting citations for material where you are unfamiliar with the sources. If there were still concerns, then it would have been appropriate to open discussion on the Talk:Christian eschatology page so that the section could be subject to peer discussion and review.


 * It should be noted that the article is describing "Christian eschatology", the section is "Biblical passages on life after death", comment is made on Christian "belief in life after death as a central and indispensable tenet of their faith", and then uses a verse that highlights the faith of Old Testament examples (ie those before the birth of Christ - some by thousands of years) and uses it to illustrate their belief in an afterlife. We then come across an uncited assertion (but one that I have heard similar claims of before) presenting a minority view (in context) that would probably be best moved to a separate section discussing sceptical perspectives regarding Christian eschatology (in the same manner as that of Section 2.6 of the Resurrection of Jesus article). It is appropriate in the circumstances to provide some historical and (perhaps more importantly, in light of what section it is in) Biblical perspectives for readers to compare and weigh up in their own minds. Perhaps you may wish to edit the "innovation of Christianity" and "admixture with Greek philosophy" POV and strengthen it with some references illustrating how this belief in the afterlife only came about in the manner mentioned for those who wish to delve further into such alternative theories.


 * As part of the overall eschatological theme, set in the opening lines "Where eschatology refers to doctrine that represents a history of inquiry into the concept of the destiny of all things, in Christian context, this inquiry is vested in the prophesied purposes of God as documented in the Bible", you will note the article makes numerous references to the resurrection, not only of Christ, but also of the righteous and the wicked. Further to the linked supporting verses, Christ prophesied regarding his own resurrection post death when he said "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days." All these are aspects of the afterlife (or as the section topic puts it, "life after death"), as they deal with matters pertaining to the outcomes of the body, soul and spirit post physical death. As can be seen in the afterlife article, it mentions; "Belief in an afterlife usually entails the belief that something survives the body when death occurs, such as an immaterial soul or spirit."

Category:Images of Auckland Train Stations
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted without discussion, in accordance with Criteria for speedy deletion. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding to pages that belong in it.

I tagged the category. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of tagging and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to remove the tag if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion of the category if it remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with db-author.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 02:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
