Ecce Homo Vandalism
Oh, please. Have you even *read* Ecce Homo? How can you possibly claim that passages like this, are not, at least to some extent, written in an urgent and/or apocalyptic tone:


 * I know my fate. One day my name will be associated with the memory of something tremendous—a crisis without equal on earth, the most profound collision of conscience, a decision that was conjured up against everything that had been believed, demanded, hallowed so far. I am no man, I am dynamite.— Yet for all that, there is nothing in me of a founder of a religion—religions are affairs of the rabble; I find it necessary to wash my hands after I have come into contact with religious people.— I want no "believers"; I think I am too malicious to believe in myself; I never speak to masses.— I have a terrible fear that one day I will be pronounced holy: you will guess why I publish this book before; it shall prevent people from doing mischief with me.

[...]
 * I contradict as has never been contradicted before and am nevertheless the opposite of a No-saying spirit. I am a bringer of glad tidings like no one before me; I know tasks of such elevation that any notion of them has been lacking so far; only beginning with me are there hopes again. For all that, I am necessarily also the man of calamity. For when truth enters into a fight with the lies of millennia, we shall have upheavals, a convulsion of earthquakes, a moving of mountains and valleys, the like of which has never been dreamed of. The concept of politics will have merged entirely with a war of spirits; all power structures of the old society will have been exploded—all of them are based on lies: there will be wars the like of which have never yet been seen on earth. It is only beginning with me that the earth knows great politics.

It's one thing for you to disagree with my interpretation, but quite another to allege vandalism. If you want to mudsling, I suggest you try the sandbox on a rainy day: 70.28.8.116, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Hunter Valley caution needed
It would be wise to check what you are removing. When you deleted the section on schools in the Hunter Valley you also deleted the external links and categories. Cheers -Fermion 09:24, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

why no the?
Why did you revert my edit to the Seventh-day Adventist Church page. The sentence makes no sense. I didn't change the citation tag, check the history. -Fermion 10:18, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake. See your talk. Have fixed error. MyNam e IsNotBob  13:14, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment...
Your kind words are appreciated, Adrian. As you move forward and customize it, I would be very interested in seeing what you come up with. I would like to eventually change the visual of it to something more in browns, oranges, yellows and reds. If you add new information, I would greatly apreciate borrowing it. Please send me the link to wherever you plan to house it. Best, Kukin i 04:20, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Kukini and NotBob, I'm glad to see someone has finally started using the the Get Welcomed template, but what I like even more is your modifications. :) Can you you guys get onto that template and make some permanent changes. Kukini, I like the way your version explains more about getting help. And NotBob, I like you creative design. Maybe we can work together and create some better templates to replace some of the old ones. What do you think? Let me know.  Waikiki!!! ^_^ -- Electric  Eye  ( talk ) 07:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

WP:ER
I agree that RfA instructions are a bit clearer, but not so much. Many users use that same argument ("all the other pages list downwards"), but if you had read the instructions till the end (the real end), you would have seen it ;). Anyway, just remember to put a future RfA in the top if you want to do it.  F e  tofs  Hello! 12:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome messages
Interesting. Do you know why? It seems to me that WikiProjects (along with portals) are an ideal starting place for newcomers. By the way, I'm not advocating any specific project; I look at the user's contributions and suggest a project based on them. TheJ a  bb  e  rw  ʘ  ck 22:32, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

My welcome template
You mention my welcome template. I'd love to see that completed, just I am having problems with the html. If you or someone you know can have an attempt at it, please do. It can be found at User:MyNameIsNotBob/Welcome/temp. MyNam e IsNotBob  11:49, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Just letting you know I have managed to fix and upgrade my welcome template at User:MyNameIsNotBob/Welcome. If you can think of ways to improve it be bold and help us all out. Regards. MyNam e IsNotBob  13:17, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi NotBob. (What do we call you anyway if you're not Bob?) I got your message and looked at your welcome message, it looks great. I considered your request for html help but wasn't sure what I could do. I'm glad you managed to work that out. Looks like you can fit another column in there. Waikiki!!! ^_^ -- Electric Eye  ( talk ) 13:21, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Just a tip in case you didn't know: You won't have to copy & paste the whole thing every time you welcome a new user. Just put  --~  in their talk page and save. You're signature will show up and everything else. -- Electric Eye  ( talk ) 13:24, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I just noticed you mention a page they edited, in that case you will have to use it like this:  ARTICLENAME  Type the name of the article they edited at ARTICLENAME. -- Electric Eye  ( talk ) 13:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I did a bit of work on it. Now the variable will be subst:ed at runtime, and will thus 1) not appear as a variable when the talk page is edited, and 2) not change if the talk page is archived. Also I linked the article name. The new syntax for use is:

 * Monobook is awesome. Check out WP:WPUS for some scripts and how to use them. Here's your monobook.js link: monobook.js. Mine, if you want an example, is at User:Iamthejabberwock/monobook.js TheJ a  bb  e  rw  ʘ  ck 13:46, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome template, has colours on it, particularly the edit links, which do not contrast well with the background they are on. I am colourblind, so I may not be the best person to choose a suitable colour, but I can tell you if it is hard to see. Ans e  ll  09:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Comments on Criticism of the Seventh-day Adventist Church
I think you know more about dispute resolution processes. Could you have a look at the section on plagiarism and see if User:Perspicacious has violated some principle through his repeated POV edits? -Fermion 05:49, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Progress, I think, is being made. However, you making some comments on his page would not go astray. -Fermion 07:46, 3 May 2006 (UTC).

Biting Newcomers
I will acknowledge that I have become less tolerant of vandalism. I am approaching 3,000 articles on my watchlist, and I take my "job" watching over these pages seriously. For months, I have just reverted changes and left the task of fighting vandalism to others. As I have seen more and more vandalism as my watchlist grew, I realized that I had to take responsibility for warning vandals on articles I have worked on. While you may have caught one of the edits that this new user made that wasn't too offensive, take a look at this other edit, which should offend even the most vandalism-tolerant among us. This seems to be part of a trend where users vandalize a page and then remove the vandalism, often as part of a two-edit sequence, but often a chain of three or more edits. Even if the article remains as it was after the edit sequence, these changes are vandalism, and the edits made by User:Hunthearin clearly fall into that category. Alansohn 12:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hunthearin's vandalism
The following edit was vandalism on 's part:. Though he reverted it himself, I felt that he still should be warned.--Conrad Devonshire 14:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments, I will read my real copy of the Chicago Manual of Style instead of the eBay Manual of Style which seems to be more influential to my new user testing. This is not as easy to use as email, maybe that is good? My favorite webpages though. Gotta return the favor and put an article up some how.--John Zdralek MDT 22:32, 26 May 2006

The Creation SDA Church
The SDA Church sues any renegade SDA group that has influence if they are using the SDA trademark name. The Creation SDA Church was threatened with a lawsuit but the General Conference obviously found out that Walter McGill, a.k.a. "Pastor Chick" is just a fraud with a huge web presence. I've talked with "Pastor Chick" on the phone years ago and know that he represents himself and doesn't own or rent a church building.

I'm not protesting strongly. I don't mind if managing Wikipedia editors are taken as fools. --Perspicacious 23:12, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Mining in Australia is the new ACOTF

Now the focus for references...
Now we should focus on getting lots of references for Seventh-day Adventist Church. It being a "Good Article" and all... Try to find your brothers textbook sometime. Ans e  ll  10:16, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, that was a timely reply, just as I checked over my updates to Criticism of the Seventh-day Adventist Church I got that message. Will try to have a shot at referencing the Seventh-day Adventist Church page sometime soon, I am also of the opinion the page may need restructuring and a bit of expansion, maybe. That is just my gut feeling after having a look at other religious movement pages (the one I just read was Bahai Faith. MyNam e IsNotBob  10:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The entry appeared at the top of my Watchlist as I went to refresh it so I thought I should come and congratulate you and hopefully get (us both) motivated to work on another part of the big picture. :) A proposed structure to change to would be good, but I think that referencing what is there may be more timely than trying to develop an entirely new set of material from scratch and then getting references, or getting them as we go maybe. Ans  e  ll  10:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * The two big problems with the article as I see it at the moment are, one, it is poorly referenced (a fact we can all agree on). The second problem is that it is excessively unbalanced, and it has nothing about the "investigative judgment", one of the main differing beliefs of the Adventist church.
 * As for referencing, Light Bearers will help with the origins section, but not much else. Seventh-day Adventists Believe is a good reference for the Beliefs section but not comprehensive (an official publication doesn't deal with reactions/attitudes, if you follow my drift), a textbook of some sort may be useful. MyNam e IsNotBob  10:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Light bearers actually goes into quite a lot of reasons and a progression through the major defining issues, lets face it, the church hasn't had that many defining issues between 1920 and now (okay, there are a few). I will get back to this with some commentary on the articles talk page later. Thanks for the work you have put into the referencing stuff. Ans  e  ll  11:20, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, &mdash;Cel es tianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Seventh-day Adventist Article, probable vandlism
Hi, the Seventh-day Adventist references seem to have been corrupted. Would you have the time and expertise to fix them? 80.189.230.237 10:39, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. OK, the problem could be software related or maybe I'm missing something. However, when I look at Seventh-day Adventist between the second and fifth reference there is what appears to be a repeated "how to manual". 80.189.230.237 10:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

company employees editing
G'day Not-Bob - I mean, Adrian,

thanks for your message. As a general rule, we let anybody edit Wikipedia &mdash; and there's no reason why a company employee can't contribute good edits to an article about that company. Admittedly, they often find it difficult and tend to bias the article a little if they aren't careful. In this case, I'd suggest you just keep on doing what you've been doing: keep a close eye on the article, in case employees make inappropriate edits, and revert if necessary, but if they make good edits, let 'em stand. Good work. Cheers, fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 12:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

In response to your invitation to contribute - I'm not really up on Adventist church history, but if I see anything which needs improving I'll have a look at it since I do have some good books. I'm particularly interested in contributing to articles on theology. I'll be starting semester again soon, and I don't expect to be on Wikipedia much until the end of the year.

Edits to EG White
Thanks for your welcoming message - but I did not quite understand it. I see that you removed my attempt to place the discussion about criticisms and responses in a less dichotomous context, and your note suggests I more closely observe NPOV, but I would appreciate understanding what aspects of my comment you saw as POV. I gladly submit to the better wisdom of the group on how to communicate this, but I think it is important to include in the article the fact that there is a variety of views of EGW and her visions both within the SDA membership and within the academic community. As currently written the article gives the impressions that all members who value EGW reject all criticisms, which is simply inaccurate.

I apologize if I did not sign my comments on the discussion page for EGW - I thought that I had.

Also, I think you should add the reference to *The White Lie* to the footnotes. Gogh 18:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response. I have not yet mastered the finer points of wiki editing. I noted that I had not properly referenced my contribution in my discussion post and provided the reference information hoping someone else could do it before I figured out how.

I note now that someone has reverted my edit, and the EGW article again has the Rea book coming before the Numbers book. This is clearly an error. Whoever reverted this did not explain the action, so I don't understand why they did it. When I have time I will see if I can fix it, but you might want to look into it.

Hi NotBob, Sorry, but I'm technically hopeless when it comes to things like sophisticated templates!
