Speedy deletion of Papyrus 99
A tag has been placed on Papyrus 99 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article.

Hello, Mercury. This article has been tagged for notability and lack of references for three years, you created it years ago. As I can't find anything to prove notability, I've prodded it, but if you have references and more information that he meets WP:ACADEMIC, then please addit. Regards, Markiewp (talk) 19:31, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Bauckham's commentary on Jude + 2 Peter
Hi. I'm tracing the origin of a cite in Epistle of Jude and it turns out you wrote it in 2007. You wrote: "Others have drawn exactly the opposite conclusion ie as Jude was not an apostle, he would not have made such a claim on his own behalf (ref: Bauckham,RJ (1986), Word Biblical Commentary, Vol.50, Word (UK) Ltd. p.14f)". About a year later, someone removed the "not":.

So here are my questions, assuming that since you wrote the edit, you have access to Bauckham's commentary: I'd be a little surprised if Bauckham thought the author was the apostle, and not the brother of Jesus (assuming they're different people). Adpete (talk) 04:12, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * What does actually Bauckham say?
 * Does he present it as his own view, or as someone else's?


 * Actually, could you answer it at Talk:Epistle_of_Jude ? Thanks. Adpete (talk) 04:19, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
