Sorry for the confusion, I mean that you can now find a reliably sourced entry for him at the List of Nazis. Take care and have a happy new year.Hoops gza (talk) 01:01, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure that there has been a formal discussion. User:Keresaspa might know more about this matter. He and I have just more or less agreed to approach the Nazi category this way.Hoops gza (talk) 01:17, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, I disagree. I think there should be a discussion first. StAnselm (talk) 01:18, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Feel free to start a discussion if you wish. I suggest talking with Keresaspa to resolve any problems with future catting of Nazis. As for myself, one of my new years resolutions will be to retire from negative topics such as this one. Thank you for the patience and cooperation in these matters, happy new years!Hoops gza (talk) 05:14, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

Ending up on the ANI is not much fun. Probably stepping back is not a bad idea. However after a bit of a rest I hope you will return to active editing. Cheers - Ret.Prof (talk) 16:31, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Do not

If I may contribute to that discussion over in the RFC/Phase 1, this is what I've compiled.

Cory Bernardi Sources
Hi there, saw your edit removing a claim from Cory Bernardi's politicial career section. You stated that the source did not contain the claim. I've PDF'd the source and highlighted where I think the claim was made: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Uc8bzJWKvQaGdQcVpuRURGQTQ/edit?usp=sharing Original article: http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/senator-cory-bernardis-call-for-new-abortion-debate-sidestepped-by-pm-20140106-30dmz.html Would you agree that the claim can be reinstated? Martin.danger (talk) 03:26, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

How about this "After Bernardi claimed.... that non-traditional families may cause negative social outcomes..."

Quote from Article: The South Australian senator also calls for the traditional family model to be restored to prime position over other family arrangements such as step families, same-sex and single families. Given the increasing number of non-traditional families, there is a temptation to equate all family structures as being equal or relative, he writes. Why then the levels of criminality among boys and promiscuity among girls who are brought up in single-parent families, more often than not headed by a single mother?

Martin.danger (talk) 04:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Well, I'm not sure why the positive frame is required when his comments are mostly of a negative nature. He could have made his statements positive by only saying that traditional families were the best. However, his focus is on the harm he believes non-traditional families cause. Nevertheless, I've edited it to include his belief that traditional family model is preferred and that non traditional may cause negative social outcomes.

By the way, am I doing this right? That is, the formatting on talk pages? Is the preferred format to indent per reply? Martin.danger (talk) 04:23, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Governing bodies template
from WP:REDNOT

Red links generally are not included in either See also sections or in navigational boxes.

That is why I removed those redlinks from the Governing Bodies navigational box.

regards: --Falcadore (talk) 06:56, 25 January 2014 (UTC) p.s. You also deleted several additions/correction to the template with that reversion.

IBLP Controversy
There needs to be a section on the controversy of IBLP and the dangers that it has brought both to the families that have suffered injustices based on the false doctrine of Bill Gothard and to the children who have lived without any freedom of rights. I can only hypothesize that you enjoy being bias towards IBLP as you do not wish to expound or revise what I have just edited. For my prayer is that you may understand the truth that IBLP eradicates. If you need a substantial reason, then let my experiences and my fellow brothers and sisters who have suffered the injustices brought to them by false ideology presented in the ATI curriculum be satisfactory to your bias opinion.

Wikipedia is your turf, but may I remind you that wikipedia is an open platform to present and showcase ideas. You sir are prohibiting the real ideas from being exposed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.148.18.181 (talk) 02:09, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Koorong
So what happens now? Kooring have done still more COI editing since your edit. It seems entirely fair and of interest to comment on the current theological breadth of their coverage since traditionally, as I understand it, the brand was associated with quite a specific theological stable, as is common in Christian publishing. As to Taming the Tiger, Authentic Media is simply an imprint of Koorong, so I don't see why the information does not belong there. Minimum due diligence might also be expected of a Christian publisher.EutychusFr (talk) 08:12, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. If you read the background to the Taming the Tiger story, you will discover that the publisher's lack of due diligence and failure to take seriously concerns expressed virtually since publication contributed largely to events, and that the role of Christian publishers in general was a significant part of the story (see for instance the Christianity magazine cover story quoted on the Tony Anthony page: http://www.christianitymagazine.co.uk/Browse%20By%20Category/features/Shaming%20the%20Tiger.aspx ). The Koorong page is by no means restricted to their bookstore activities and I am pretty sure these are a tiny part of their turnover. To include information about Taming the Tiger on the Koorong page and/or the existing page covering Authentic Media is fair and far more likely to result in a balanced picture in which these organisations' other activities are cited than creating a page solely about Authentic Media in which the Taming the Tiger fiasco will overshadow everything else due to the sheer volume of copies sold and allegedly distributed compared to their other sales.EutychusFr (talk) 09:10, 28 January 2014 (UTC)

File:Sydney Symphony logo.jpg
Hi StAnselm. Just a heads up to say that the SSO has changed their logo this year and per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical music, I've uploaded the new logo and placed it in the article. As the old one which you had uploaded is under Fair Use and is no longer linked in the article, you'll probably get a deletion notice. You don't need to do anything. After 5 days the old version will be automatically deleted. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 08:25, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit to Jack T. Chick
Thank you for making this edit summary clear given it was your 4th revert it saved you from a block.

"not on BLP's"
I did not see such an exception on that page. Can you direct me please? Pass a Method  talk  12:28, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, please explain why you needed to delete that content rather than just ask for a citation. Sportfan5000 (talk) 12:49, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:BLPREMOVE. StAnselm (talk) 19:36, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The very first words in that section refer to "contentious material," which this certainly was not. Sportfan5000 (talk) 00:40, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

February 2014
You may have just been mistaken but here you accuse you accuse me of using a source that doesn't support the claim, when it surely does so, and that is immediately evident; and here you accuse me of using an unreliable source - which it isn't - and relying on "a picture caption only", when the entire article talks about their long friendship. I won't argue whether the content needs to be in the article or is too trivial. More interested editors can digest that. But I do not appreciate edit summaries which are essentially falsehoods. Perhaps you were making a bunch of edits in a row or otherwise mistook the sources? Sportfan5000 (talk) 02:37, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * No, my edit summaries were careful and true. The first source didn't support the claim - there was nothing about "best" friends in the text, and "BFFs" in the heading hardly counts. Similarly, in the Huffington Post article, it is clear that DiCaprio and Maguire are friends, and the article calls them "longtime pals", but there is nothing in the text to suggest that one is the other's "best" friend. Please check the sources more carefully next time. StAnselm (talk) 03:05, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * "Nicole and Naomi are best friends"
 * "Dicaprio Maguire; best friends star in the great gatsby"  Pass a Method   talk  03:58, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The first of these was not cited; the second is only a caption, and as such is not a reliable source. StAnselm (talk) 04:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * "Best friends for nearly 25 years"  Pass a Method   talk  04:11, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * So Pass a Method - why did you choose not to add any of these references when you first edited the articles? And don't say I didn't give you a chance - you managed to do about twenty edits before I reverted you. You could have spent that time properly sourcing just one of those articles. StAnselm (talk) 04:14, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Having known you for a long time, i know that you are rarely straightforward in your edit summaries. In only the past 12 hours you have invented two new previously non-existent wikipedia policies. Pass a Method   talk  04:22, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Pass a Method, Biographies of living persons is a real policy, and you need to familiarise yourself with it."Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion" (emphasis original). StAnselm (talk) 04:29, 6 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Open your browser
 * prepare search engine

John Calvin's View of Scripture -- No Original Research
Hi St Anselm. You must not do original research or synthesis on Wikipedia. Your article on John Calvin's view of Scripture is based almost entirely on primary source original research. There have been hundreds of books written on Calvin that address his view of Scripture. You must rely on them when writing your article. You have insisted that others rely on secondary sources from third party, independent sources. You must abide by this same standard.

Thanks in advance! Katsa54 (talk) 23:55, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report it. The user accounts you reported are in fact IP addresses, not user names, thus are not misleading.  Admr Boltz  20:26, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Pamela Geller. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Darkness Shines (talk) 00:12, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Sorry
For the edit war and templating you, I was pissed and got very very stupid. Darkness Shines (talk) 10:03, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Young Reader's Choice Award.gif
 Thanks for uploading File:Young Reader's Choice Award.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — trlkly 04:55, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Discuss at the relevant talk page with the issues you feel are relevant; if you are right, you will easily gain a consensus for your POV. Thanks! Eusebeus (talk) 05:16, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * You have now made three reverts in less than an hour. Please stop your edit-warring. StAnselm (talk) 06:08, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

You'd probably get a lot further if you just talked to people instead of slapping them templates. (You will recall that I recently scolded Darkness Shines for slapping you with a template.) Lauraface32's edits did not seem to be intentionally disruptive or unconstructive, and she was already using the talk page in good faith, so this warning seemed off target. And then templating her again when she had just complained about being templated? I don't think that's going to help deescalate things at all. ~Adjwilley (talk) 21:24, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I've been trying to assume good faith, but her edits seemed to be revenge-based. Anyway, she has engaged in personal attacks against me multiple times now. How would you suggest trying to stop it? StAnselm (talk) 21:43, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I think the best way of dealing with the personal attacks is to ignore them. Half the time they aren't even meant as attacks, and when they are they're usually so shallow that they just reflect poorly on the person making them. That's been my experience, at least. If things get out of hand, ping me with some diffs and I'll look into it. As for the dispute (which I haven't read enough of to understand fully) I think the audience you're trying to convince would be Hrothulf, but you probably know better than I do in that arena. ~Adjwilley (talk) 05:26, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I did ignore it the first time, but the attacks kept coming. StAnselm (talk) 12:09, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Prophet
Why should Ananias be in italics? Is he not the one who coverted Paul to being a Christian through God's message? Is a person who receives instructions from God not a prophet? I thought that a prophet is someone who receives a message or instructions from God, so why italics? Jerm729 (talk) 12:51, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
 * If that is so, that means the definition of Prophet on Wikipedia is wrong. Is not Silas a disciple as well, yet he is mentioned as a prophet. I understand that little is known about Ananias, but receiving a message from God should have determined his status to a prophet. And I apologize if i'm a bit aggressive about this. Jerm729 (talk) 22:27, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Alrighty then, I guess since majority believe he is a disciple it would be fit to italics, and there isn't much of a source to prove otherwise. Cheers then -- Jerm729 (talk) 23:00, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Joyce G. Baldwin - thanks
Thanks for improving the article. The first sentence of the biography at parent is incomplete, any chance you could correct?. I guess it intends to indicate a later family move (to where).

FYI, I'm a staff member at Trinity College, Bristol. I decided to add the entry when updating the entry on the college. My colleague, John Bimson, wrote The Times obituary, which was my principal external source. I met Joyce once in the early 1990s, when she revisited the college.
