English Dissenters
Hi there! I notice you added a link from George Fox to the new page English Dissenters. I like what you've done with that page, but you should be aware that there is some overlap with the article dissenter. These two pages should probably be merged; what do you think? (For now, I've made the Fox article point to "English" and "dissenter" as separate terms, simply because "GF was an English dissenters" isn't grammatical.) AlexG 12:55, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

English dissenters
I notice that you don't include any references to Welsh dissent in the article English Dissenters. Do you think that I could change it to do so, or would you think that a separate article is called for? Let me know what you think. Lyndafis 17:51, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Assemblies of God stats
Hi Leonardo! I noticed you made a fairly large change to the numbers in Assemblies of God, and was wondering if you could provide a source for this information? I know the old numbers were unsourced too, but it would be good to have a reference of some sort there. --Stormie 23:00, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I see that you added the references for those numbers - fantastic, thanks for that! --Stormie 04:24, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Help reporting copyright violation for pt:Imagem:Mittelalter.JPG
I'm afraid the nearest I have to a qualification in Portuguese is a French O-Level, but, in referring someone to the Portuguese Wikipedia on Help desk I became aware of this image which is clearly a copyright violation and I would appreciate help in reporing it as such.

The image is a photograph of a Der Spiegel front cover, so clearly copyrighted by Der Spiegel, even if it turns out that the image they have used is public domain through age, but the only copyright claimed is that of the uploader.

The claimed licence is GFDL, but I think it very unlikely that Der Spiegel would release under that licence.

The image is not being used in a "fair use" context, so fair use would not be a valid replacement licensing basis.

Even if the context were fair use for a magazine cover image, the image is too high resolution to claim fair use.

I'd appreciate it if you could register the copyright violation on the Portuguese Wikipedia, as it will take me a long time and maybe much Bablefish to do it myself.

--David Woolley 10:58, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

I've had a go, but I'd appreciate your checking that I've done it properly. --David Woolley 13:31, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging for Image:Bras.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bras.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to indicate why we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies under Wikipedia's fair use guidelines, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you want the image to be deleted, tag it as db-unksource.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Latter Day Saint revisions
Hi. I noticed you've made a few changes to Latter Day Saint movement which have been subsequently reverted. The first one was an addition of "Humanistic Mormons," a branch that myself and other editors have never heard of. Do you have any documentation of this as a legitimate denomination? It'd be good to collaborate in creating an article for them if you do. Your second edit, which you marked as "NPOV," was a seemingly random deletion of material that bore no relation to a POV issue at all. I'm not sure what your intention was there.

We're glad to welcome contributions to LDS-related articles, of course, but you should probably be aware that as a whole, the editors attached to WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement are somewhat cautious of undocumented changes — the controversial nature of the LDS Church invites a lot of false/weird additions and vandalism, after all. Just a heads up to avoid future confusion. Tijuana Brass 16:59, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Patric Swayse on Ex Protestants
He was a catholic, but he became a protestant and later left that too. This is why he is included on the list.

Theologika
I've removed your prod tag from Theologika because you didn't prod it correctly. Instead of putting in a tag, you need to put in reason - this will make sure it's correctly formatted and appears in the daily list where it can be considered and acted on. For more information, see WP:PROD. Hope this helps! Paddles 22:49, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Luso
Hmmm... I didn't realize there were non-Brazilians on the Brazilian list. I do think it's important to have at least the Portuguese and Brazilian as separate lists, as they are big and distinct enough countries (and people like Carmen Miranda, and others, could be on both lists if they are associated with both countries). The problem seems to be that there are a minority of people who aren't Brazilian or Portuguese, but are Luso. I suppose we could have a "Luso American" list of people - including only those who aren't Portuguese and/or Brazilian (i.e. Horace Silver and Beach) - and put that list right after the "See Also" on the Luso page (I mean the "See Also" that sends people to the Brazilian and Portuguese lists). Is that a good idea? Mad Jack O&#39;Lantern 20:28, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to join WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy
Hi there! I've noticed that you've edited articles pertaining to the Eastern Orthodox Church. I wanted to extend an invitation to you to join the WikiProject dedicated to organizing and improving articles on the subject, which can be found at: WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy. This WikiProject was begun because a need was perceived to raise the level of quality of articles on Wikipedia which deal with the Eastern Orthodox Church.

You can find information on the project page about the WikiProject, as well as how to join and how to indicate that you are a member of the project. Additionally, you may be interested in helping out with our collaboration of the month. I hope you'll consider joining and thank you for your contributions thus far! &mdash; A.S.

Note on adding full Eastern Orthodox Project to your watchlist
This is a note for members of the Eastern Orthodox Project: Since the project's main page has been converted to a portal-style box format, each of the boxes is actually its own page (you can see the page outside its box by clicking the 'Edit' link on any often the section boxes on the project page, which takes you to the edit page for its contents). Because of this, updates to individual box contents will not necessarily show up on editors' watchlists, if you've only got the main project page watched.

In order to keep up to date with all updates to the Project and its pages, I'd recommend adding each subpage to your watchlists. These are:


 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy - The main Project page
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Intro - The introduction to the Project text, in the top box
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Scope - Goals of the project text
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Subsections - Listing of Project sub-areas
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Tasks - Main listing of pages, etc., needing work
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Templates - Listing of Project templates
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Participants - Listing of members
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Related - Listing of areas related to Project
 * WikiProject_Eastern_Orthodoxy/Notes - Notes on Project

If you add all of the above pages to your watchlist, you should be informed whenever any part of the WikiProject Eastern Christianity is edited/updated. To discuss this, please see the relavent section of the Project's talk page. &mdash; Antonios Aigyptos talk  09:30, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Waldo
Thank you for helping me keep an eye on the POV pushers over there. I bailed the article out a few months ago. It was in horrid shape. I am slowing nudging it to GA. What do you think about merging the stubby Peter Waldo with the Waldensians article? -- SECisek 04:51, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Check out Petrobrusians, another article that was a POV disaster that I edited to GA. Waldo should be merged with Waldensians as we did there. -- SECisek 18:14, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Your edits to Baptist
I reverted your edits because they weren't correct. For one, the statement "The polity of autonomy is usually of congregational governance..." doesn't make sense. For two, stating that Reformed Baptists "are organized in a Presbyterian system" confuses the issue. While Reformed Baptists share many beliefs with Presbyterians, and often have elders in their congregations, they are not organized in a Presbyterian system, with a hierarchy of ecclesiastical power. They are more often than not organized in autonomous single congregations, but without "congregational rule". I agree that the paragraph could use some work, but it would need to be cited with a reliable source. HokieRNB 13:43, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi

I've declined your request, as there was only one editor involved. I have issued a final warning, and will block them if they repeat this nonsense.

I've watchlisted Apostolic Church (Czech Republic) in the meantime, but if the IP does this again do please let me know and I will block them immediately.

Speedy deletion nomination of The True Faith Jehovah’s Witnesses Association
A tag has been placed on The True Faith Jehovah’s Witnesses Association 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. andy (talk) 00:08, 3 July 2010 (UTC) --> veja:
