New religious movements category
O1thomas, I have responded to your question about the new religious movements category on its talk page, found here: Category talk:New religious movements. Welcome to Wikipedia! --Gary D 22:19, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)


 * You're quite welcome for the edits, Thomas. In response to your question, I am very interested in matters of religion and spirituality generally, including new religious movements; as I grow older, I'm beginning to feel that those are the only questions worth pursuing. Thus, I tend to patrol those types of pages, and that's how I came across your article. Your personal story is quite interesting; I live in Orange County, not that far from Encinitas of course, and I have a great respect for the Religious Science church. I used to listen to sermons delivered by an RS pastor on the community access cable TV channel when I lived up in Redding, and I liked a lot of what I heard. Anyway, good luck with your editing, and I'm sure I'll be seeing you around Wikipedia! --Gary D 01:38, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Religious science
Ah, I see the reason for the confusion. There were actually two articles -- Religious Science (which had actual content) and Religious science (which was a redirect). The only difference in the names was the capitalization of "science." You edited the second one, which had never been anything more than a redirect. Don't worry, you didn't delete any history -- besides the redirect, there was never any history at that article name. I've redirected the lower-case version to the upper-case article.
