Towers of London
I told 12thMarquis: I suggest if you you want "despite being a spoof punk band" to stick on the page:
 * Find a newspaper or magazine article that uses the words, "spoof punk band", directly when describing Towers of London.
 * Quote the sentence from the article and cite it.
 * Add the quote to another section (possibly "History") rather than the lead paragraph.

What do you think of this advice? --Kevinkor2 13:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * The guy was just trolling, its a genuine band.. its article seems to recieve quite a bit of vandalism recently because the front man has been featuring on television shows. - Deathrocker 14:00, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * From WP:TROLL, "When you try to decide if someone is a troll, strive to assume they are not. Explain errors politely and reasonably; point them towards policies, the manual of style and relevant past discussions. Don't conclude they are a troll until they have shown complete inability or unwillingness to listen to reason or to moderate their position based upon the input of others. ... Remember and apply the principles laid out at Don't bite the newcomers."
 * Therefore, even if 12thMarquis has been trolling (an assumption that I do not make), they can still make valuable contributions.
 * I am willing to help. --Kevinkor2 14:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Internal Links inside External Links
When an  internal link  is the only content inside an [http: external link], the result is probably not what the editor wants.

I propose changing an  [http: external link internal link]  combination to  internal link[http: external link] .

SmackBot
To: Rich Farmbrough, Kenosis

Cc: Template talk:Fact

From: Kevinkor2

Currently, Rich, your bot is expanding  by adding the current month, resulting in   .

Kenosis, whenever you see this on the Truth, Pragmatism, and a few other articles, you revert it. As you noted at User talk:Rich Farmbrough, it would be useful to have fact dating/nondating under control of an article's editors.

I suggest we adopt one of three possible compromises:
 * 1) Manually change  to    for facts where we do not know an accurate date.
 * 2) Add  to the top of the article.
 * 3) Research the page history for the first appearance of the  tag to give it the correct date.

I recommmend the first alternative. --Kevinkor2 17:43, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed in general, Kevinkor2. The existence of the category Category:Articles with unsourced statements, out of which this function of the bot arises, is currently under discussion at Deletion review/Log/2007 February 20.  I'm on the road right now and only have a minute.  Talk later. ... Kenosis 20:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Kevin, Good set of ideas, but actually all the articles are done now (with a vanishing small set of exceptions, sich as those where people have substed the template, or reverts of SmackBot). If anyone wants to move the dates further back, they can of course do so, Kenosis and others claim that it is easy to find the dates from history - I think "easy" is a relative term here.  The names of the dated categories are supposed to reflect that the tags are at least that old (since month boundaries, for example, will never be neat), however the rate of addition of articles suggests that a typical "current month" will be around 20,000 at the end, so that the February block is not as oversized as it appears. Rich Farmbrough, 00:23 24  February 2007 (GMT). 00:23, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!
How very kind of you to offer your encouragement and appreciation, especially after all I've been through lately. I finally had a few chuncks of time to do some serious additions.

I've reverted to reintroduce the two older statements with "citatioon-needed' templates, and will now remove the tags instead to avoid recurrences of this kind of mindless editing until "WP fact-tag policy" can be sorted out by the wider community.

Yes, thank you - it is functioning the way it was before! I still cannot say I understand how it all works though ... :-( ...

Still wrapping wrong in FF
Sorry to report that the George Harrison article still wraps improperly. I used the Firefox "Web Developer" extension to set my window to fit on an 800x600 screen and saw a horizontal scroll bar. I scrolled down until I saw this which shows the "citation needed" message spilling over the right-hand window border, and also shows the scroll bar at the bottom. I deleted a little bit of the window, but I think the problem with the fact template HTML/CSS in Firefox is shown clearly. The screenshot is from Firefox 1.5, but I checked and got the same results from Firefox 2.0. John Cardinal 14:26, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Patriarchy in Christianity
Wiki has the feminist POV on Patriarchy at Patriarchy in feminism. I think we need a Patriarchy in Christianity article. Something like, "The Anglican 1662 mariage service includes ideas from Ephesians 5 ... ." "God himself is a Father." "What justifies Patriarchy (in the Christian world-view) is self-sacrificial, servant leadership modeled on God and Jesus -- simply speaking -- love." "Passages from 1 John and 1 Corinthians are used by the following Christian organizations in marriage preparation." Christians hold a wide range of views of marriage too, so it's possible to cover at least three models: "male servant leadership", "mutual submission", "egalitarian/independent".

I'm pretty sure there'd be a lot of material available online. Easy to research and verify. I'll get around to some of it eventually, but not for a couple of months. Just a thought if you're feeling bored with nothing to do sometime. ;) Alastair Haines 23:58, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

the Word fundamentalism
Dear Kevin, I saw that you removed the catg: Christian fundamentalism from the articles such as Local churches, Watchman Nee, and several others, based on the assumption that a "fundamentalism doped" article should contain at least one mention of the word fundamental or its derived. Well, I don't know much about the other groups and people, but I do think that the above three article I mentioned falls under the criteria C. F (appropriately, if you read them).

The another thing I wanted to say is that, Say, if I add a paragraph in these articles and use the word "fundamentalism" in some sense then the article becomes suitable under the cat: Christian Fundamentalism. How silly is this, Kevin!! Let's give a thought on this and reply me with what your understandings are regarding the inclusion of articles on wikipedia under the category "C. F".

Ya, I just want to discuss this (minor but important), otherwise I have no other reason writing on your page or some duty to put these articles on the catg: C. F. Please give it thought! Thanks. HopeChrist (talk) 17:33, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, HopeChrist. It is good to write to you.

After reading the articles, I agree that Local churches or Watchman Nee are fundamentalist in the sense of "affirming the fundamentals of the Christian faith". However, in the United States, "fundamentalism" has become a perjorative term. It still has the meaning of "affirming the fundamentals of the Christian faith", but this is secondary to the meaning of "an aggressive ... religious movement which, in coalition with ... political forces, seeks to combat what is regarded as the ... takeover of the state, family and church...." (quote from Fundamentalist Christianity)

I agree with you that it would be silly if the sole criteria of whether an article should be a part of Category:Christian fundamentalism is whether it has "fundamentalism" or "fundamentalist" in the body of the article. However, because of their perjorative meanings, "fundamentalism" or "fundamentalist" have become terms that require explanation. An article on Watchman Nee would have to answer the questions, "Is Watchman Nee a fundamentalist?" and "What type of fundamentalist is Watchman Nee? A theological fundamentalist? A political fundamentalist?" If I see an article in Category:Christian fundamentalism without this explanation, I assume (sometimes incorrectly) it is used in the perjorative sense and remove it.

These are my understandings about catg: C. F. What are your thoughts?

P.S.: I have put a copy of this on my talk page and your talk page. Because this discussion helps catg: C. F. and Wikipedia as a whole, I have also added this to the category's talk page. I will try to keep the three synchronized.

-- Kevinkor2 (talk) 09:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Kevin,
 * First thought, fundamentalist Christianity somehow also includes fundamentals of Christian faith whether "it" (the group, movement, or a person/individual) may or may not be politically active. I fully agree to the point that in modern USA today, the word has deviated from its original meaning but then the Wikipedia is not just for the English (speakers) readers of USA but for all the English speakers of this world. For example, when I see the word fundamentalist or fundamentalism (in relation to christians or Christianity) I understand (perceives) its application in terms of conservatism.


 * Second thought, the word fundamentalism became politically ignited in the last 20 or so years because of the degradation and deviation of the mainline Christianity from the word of God (today). For example, the movement such as "King James only movement" railing against all or most of the modern Bible translation. Another example, most of the revival movements of the last century (including the 1980-90s in USA) -- the word "fundamental" became something symbolic for "coming back to the basics".


 * So, I believe, we need little more discussion on this for not to make this so called catg. "Christian fundamentalism" a narrower one. Thanks for sharing the thoughts. HopeChrist (talk) 03:12, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Focus on the Family & Dominionism
Hail and well met, Kevinkor! I just restored a category you had removed from Focus on the Family. You were right to remove the cat, as there was no supporting statement in the article. However, now that I have added a supporting statement (with sources), I hope you find it acceptable. On a personal note, I note that our personal points of view diverge a bit, to say the least. I hope we can use our differences to find the ever-elusive "Neutral Point of View". ;-) In any case, I look forward to learning from you.  Cheers! -- JeffBillman (talk) 22:57, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you a Dominionist?
Greetings again, Kevin! I just read your analysis of Frederick Clarkson's definition of Dominionism. While Clarkson provides an excellent working definition, as a working definition it is still imperfect. Also, I've noticed that Clarkson's definition is often misinterpreted by well-meaning Christians on the American political right.

You state, "Although the First Amendment to the United States Constitution prohibits the United States Congress from making a law "respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof", it does not change the beliefs of the American people or the roots of American democracy. According to a 2007 survey, 78.4% of adults identified themselves as Christian, down from 86.4% in 1990, but still being a supermajority. I believe that the Founding Fathers of the United States were overwhelmingly Christian, that founding documents such as the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are based on Christian principles, and that a Christian character was fundamental to early American culture." All well and good, but this does not make the United States a Christian nation in the same sense that Iran is an Islamic nation. We do not require that our citizens or even our public officials be Christians. Tolerance for personal religious belief, expressed privately, has always been a hallmark of American jurisprudence and public sentiment.

Next, you state your beliefs, followed by a brief statement to the effect that "religion is man's construction." I see nothing Dominionist in that sentiment whatsoever. Contrast that against statements by Dominionists which (according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, itself consisting of more than a few Christians) propose the death penalty against apostates, pagans, homosexuals, astrologists, and others. Source

Finally, you appear to view the options for interpreting our legal foundations as dichotomous; either wholly reconciled to so-called "biblical law" or anchorless, on the winds of change. Neither view is accurate. Rather, our legal foundations are steeped in the traditions of English Common Law, itself not just the product of biblical study but also centuries of Christian tradition. To abandon this for a "return" to "biblical foundation" would be like discarding the past 20 centuries of academia in favor of the [Roman and Greek] classical arts and sciences. I sense you know this, and agree; along with most Christian conservatives. Dominionists, however, do not agree. They have plainly advocated the abrupt abandonment of American (and English) jurisprudence in favor of this mythical "biblical foundation". Far from being "conservative" (in the sense that they seek to conserve certain extant traditions), Dominionists are truly advocates for change.

So in conclusion, no, you are not a Dominionist. As I am not only a bit of an advocate against Dominionism, but also at least a fiscal conservative myself (I am a right-leaning Libertarian), it troubles me when people on both the political left and right conflate opposition to Dominionism with agreement with the American political left. In reality, I seldom am in such agreement, and I note that there are a few other, less vocal opponents of Dominionism who, like me, tend to be more conservative in our political outlook. -- JeffBillman (talk) 17:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

To: 69.121.221.174 and Schrandit
(copied to User talk:69.121.221.174, User talk:Schrandit, and User talk:Kevinkor2.)

Hi 69.121.221.174 and Schrandit,

Since I am monitoring the page, Focus on the Family, I noticed 69.121.221.174 making edits and Schrandit undoing them.

Because I was concerned about this, I looked at all of 69.121.221.174's recent changes. Some of his/her changes involved terminology about 'mother' vs. 'pregnant woman' for a person who is pregnant who has not given birth yet. Of these changes that 69.121.221.174 has made, most were undone by Schrandit.
 * undone:
 * Pro-life movement
 * Abortion and mental health
 * Indirect abortion
 * Ethical aspects of abortion
 * Beginning of human personhood
 * some not undone:
 * Christianity and abortion
 * Religion and abortion
 * Pro-choice

Some of 69.121.221.174 changes that did not involve this dispute were also undone by Schrandit:
 * Same-sex marriage and the family
 * Focus on the Family
 * History of lesbianism

I recommend that the dispute, 'mother' vs. 'pregnant woman', be taken to the talk page of Religion and abortion.

I also recommend that Schrandit and 69.121.221.174 not change terminology in bulk until the dispute is resolved.

Dear Kevin, I appreciate your concern, the "mother" v. "pregnant woman" debate has (unsurprisingly) been had a few time and consensus has landed on "mother" (Talk:Religion and abortion#.27Mother.27 vs .27pregnant woman.27]]) this has been pointed out to the anon a few time but he/she wars on. - Schrandit (talk) 03:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Howdy
I saw that the checkuser was overridden but to be honest, I don't know if that decision was for the best. I have heard that Spotfixer left that address, but how would we know that? I remain skeptical. I'll do my best to refrain from fraternal pronouns. - Schrandit (talk) 17:18, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * With all due respect, it seems that you often think that people are Spotfixer. You thought that I was Spotfixer, and even managed to support a ban that was overturned.  You also thought that User:208.80.104.2 was Spotfixer and even managed to get a brief ban that we now have evidence was mistaken, although there's no point overturning it anymore.  There was another one some time ago, which I can't find the name of at the moment, that was likewise questionable but apparently stuck.  Most recently, you decided that User:Phil Spectre was Spotfixer, and that one didn't even generate a block.
 * The pattern here is clear: you routinely accuse people of being Spotfixer, and are typically mistaken. It's weird, but hard to deny that Spotfixer is your Moriarty.  I think you need to accept that not everyone who disagrees with you is Spotfixer, and that Spotfixer is long gone and probably wasn't any of the alleged socks.  Instead, you would be benefit yourself and Wikipedia greatly if you could avoid taking things personally and stick to the content issues that are the cause of people disagreeing with you.  Please take this as constructive criticism of the most generous sort. CarolineWH (talk) 22:46, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I thought that you were Spotfixer, so did a lot of people, so much so that another used filed for a checkuser and it turns out you edit the same articles the same way from the same ip adress. What an amazing coincidence, so amazing in fact that I am having a very hard time believing it is just a coincidence.
 * Support a ban? I had no hand in your conviction.
 * That is a lie. I have never had any interaction with User:208.80.104.2.
 * "There was another one some time ago, which I can't find the name of at the moment, that was likewise questionable but apparently stuck." What in all creation are you talking about?
 * "Most recently, you decided that User:Phil Spectre was Spotfixer" No. Another user brought a checkuser case, I found some evidence that I thought was interesting so I mentioned it.  I have never had any interaction with Phil Spectre before or since.


 * There are only 2 usernames that I have ever so much as wisppered an insinuation at. The first was TruthIIPower and I was right about that account.  The second was you and I'm not convinced that I was wrong there. - Schrandit (talk) 23:03, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * You have been asked to drop this, so I'm not going to respond, as it would be unfair to you. CarolineWH (talk) 23:54, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I have every right to mention it and I will, expecially when you bring it up. - Schrandit (talk) 15:59, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Hate Groups position
Hi Kevinkor2,

There is a line through your decision to "delete" Hate groups categories, on the discussion page. Is this something you did or vandalism?--DCX (talk) 22:25, 17 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Dougcweho,
 * It is something I did: I decided to change my decision from "delete" to "listify". (Both have the same effect of deleting the category, but "listify" ends up creating a "List of hate groups" page. --Kevinkor2 (talk) 04:20, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Nowe that's something I never thought I'd see !
Avro Manhattan / Jack Chick crossover.

I'm not sure I like the idea either, it's probably a bit selective of Manhattan's anti-Roman polemic, and skipping his Modernist poetry. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:40, 22 June 2010 (UTC)


 * hmmm... Avro Manhattan doesn't mention Modernist poetry at all. If you have reliable sources talking about it, feel free to add it in!
 * Also, feel free to add and remove names from the navbox and the Chick Publications Inc. section. I'd like to keep the two in sync if possible.

Lively debate
Lively debate. Funny title, given the debate is on Scott Lively. I'm just writing here to say I'm still looking into adding the Lively ref and associated new text. It's just I'm too tired tonight and likely busy for a few days. And thanks for calmly injecting calm into the debate as some apparent newbies learn the BLP, RS, AGF ropes--one even just made a personal attack and someone else reverted it. I'm telling ya, the personal attack / soapbox thing is making me really wary about adding the proposed text and it is they who proposed it initially. Listen, if you think you've got good reason to add it and it's encyclopedic, go ahead and add it. I appreciate your patience in waiting for my input but at the same time I don't want to hold up something an experienced editor feels is appropriate for the article. Nice working with you. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling (talk) 02:07, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

David Berger
How long should aricle stay on your side ? 92.252.122.169 (talk) 22:51, 21 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The article should stay in user space until we get some references that establish notability.
 * The equivalent article in German Wikipedia is David Berger (Theologe).
 * Unfortunately, I don't speak German, so I cannot translate the references.
 * However, the ones that might establish notability are
 * &lt;ref&gt;Stellungnahme der Fördergemeinschaft „Theologisches“ vom 13. April 2010&lt;/ref&gt;
 * &lt;ref&gt;David Berger: Ansonsten muss ich dies als Verleumdung betrachten, kath.net, 14. April 2010&lt;/ref&gt;
 * &lt;ref name="fr"&gt;David Berger: "Ich darf nicht länger schweigen", Frankfurter Rundschau, 22. April 2010&lt;/ref&gt;
 * &lt;ref&gt;Kirche feuert schwulen Theologen, Frankfurter Rundschau, 27. Juli 2010&lt;/ref&gt;
 * Sometime, I might let Internet Explorer's Translation Accelerator take a look at the German article.

CPC lead sources
Hey, Schrandit and I were just wondering if your votes for keeping some of the cited sources for the statement about false medical information were still the same. Since some of your concerns (namely, you thought the sources didn't support the statement, but Dylan quoted lines from the sources that did support it) have been addressed, I thought it might be worth checking so that no one's claiming your voice on their side in error. Roscelese (talk) 18:22, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Do not presume to speak for other editors. Kevin, are you still of the opinion that the 14 sources for the last sentence in the lead should be cut down to a more manageable number.  On the talk page you suggested that 2 would be sufficient.  Are you still of this opinion and if so do you have any particular opinion as to which would be the best to keep? - Schrandit (talk) 22:25, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Weren't you wondering too? I would never presume to claim another editor's support if I wasn't ready to ask them up front, and I assumed that you would live up to the same ethical standard. Roscelese (talk) 03:14, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

General sanctions on abortion articles
Just letting you know, in case you didn't already, that abortion-related articles are now subject to general sanctions, including but not limited to 1RR. Going by what's already occurred (two editors blocked at Lila Rose and the sanctions were imposed what, a day ago?), it looks like there's going to be a lot of admin involvement as well as a lot of attempts to game the system. Be careful! We've edited very productively together, and it would be a shame if you returned from your break and immediately got blocked or something because you weren't aware of the new rules.

Completely new abortion proposal and mediation
In light of the seemingly endless disputes over their respective titles, a neutral mediator has crafted a proposal to rename the two major abortion articles (pro-life/anti-abortion movement, and pro-choice/abortion rights movement) to completely new names. The idea, which is located here, is currently open for opinions. As you have been a contributor in the past to at least one of the articles, your thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

The hope is that, if a consensus can be reached on the article titles, the energy that has been spent debating the titles of the articles here and here can be better spent giving both articles some much needed improvement to their content. Please take some time to read the proposal and weigh in on the matter. Even if your opinion is simple indifference, that opinion would be valuable to have posted.

To avoid accusations that this posting violates WP:CANVASS, this posting is being made to every non-anon editor who has edited either page since 1 July 2010, irrespective of possible previous participation at the mediation page. HuskyHuskie (talk) 19:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
