Please do not delete content from pages on Wikipedia without explaining the reason for the removal in the edit summary. Unexplained removal of content does not appear constructive, and your edit has been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox for test edits.

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 23:31, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia.

Hi there. Please stop editing the entry for Sovereign Grace Ministries with the same unreliable, biased (you are showing your cards by boasting in the amount of hits your website received), rumor based edits. Please see the wiki articles on reliable sources and links normally to be avoided. If you have constructive edits to make, please do, but please cite reliable sources and refrain from repeating slanderous gossip based upon anonymous personal opinion. Thank you.Timothy6 20 (talk) 15:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I have just put a Request for Protection on that article. Disputes on content should be discussed, not edit warred over. Steve Crossin (talk) 15:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

"you are showing your cards by boasting in the amount of hits your website received" - has it escaped your attention that I didn't add that detail in?

"Hi there, I am a contributor to Wikipedia who has become aware of your blog.

You may not be aware of this, but there is a battle going on at Wikipedia over whether or not your website (SGM Uncensored) should be mentioned in the SGM Wikipedia article.

An SGM member keeps on removing all reference to it on the grounds it relies “heavily on rumors and personal opinions” and is “an anonyomous gossip weblog” which is “tantamount to slander, certainly rumor and personal opinion”.

If you are Wiki-savvy, please could you go on over there to ensure that SGM’s Wikipedia article is not simply a piece of PR for SGM.

Thanks." Cute. Timothy6 20 (talk) 16:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Rjd0060 (talk) 16:42, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi "Look2008", in regards your edit that suggests that SGM has expunged Larry Tomzack from their history, are you aware of any evidence of this? I don't think that they have any sort of official written church history. Therefore, I'm not sure that it's completely fair to suggest that they are trying to "cover up" his role. What are your thoughts? Timothy6 20 (talk) 15:03, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

re: Sovereign Grace Ministries
I just wanted to come by and say that you've done an excellent job on the articles you've been editing. You've clearly put a lot of work into them and they look real good. Of course any edits that I do to them are only suggestions and you are more than welcome to re-work them to fit your articles. Cheers,  &#xE2E1; Berg   Drop a Line ޗ pls  21:49, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that - I appreciate it. To be honest, most of it has been grammatical tinkering. Being a (sometimes) freelance writer, I would really like them all to flow a lot better than they do. The problem is that previous discussions lead me to err on the side on only writing 100% verifiable facts... but - again - thanks for the feedback; wikipedia is fun... and adictive, don't you think?

 * Hi Look2008, thanks for contributing to a balanced dialogue, and for adding a bit of humor as well! (your recommendations for those without friends). Hope you're having a great day. Timothy6 20 (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Mediation
Just a note, I have made a recommendation on the Sovereign Grace talk page, I recommend you review it. Please, I must stress, my recommendation is not binding, only the Arbitration Committee can make binding decisions. That said, I have done my best to make a fair recommendation, and I would like you to review this, and give your comments below my statement. Thanks again, Steve Crossin (talk) 23:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

You may note that his user page link is red. This is due to his ban into March. He may not be a great source to cite for guidance at this time.sinneed (talk) 18:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for highlighting that - I had no idea. What happened? Look2008 (talk) 11:51, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:46, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
