CPCA stub type and bishop category
I sent Category:CPCA bishops to Categories for Discussion for a rename as categories generally don't use abbreviations in them. As for the stub type you proposed, as a general rule, we prefer that there be at least 60 existing stub articles on a topic before creating anew stub type for them. Because of the nature of stub sorting, as opposed to categorization, stub types need to be kept to a minimum size so as to enable them to be reasonably easily sorted.

John Thomas Matthew Lee
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article John Thomas Matthew Lee, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of John Thomas Matthew Lee.

SDA church criticism section
To the contrary, discussion ought to occur before unilateral removal of the criticism section.

The criticism section of this article has been present and stable for over 18 months now, and has enjoyed the wide consensus of editors. It does not breach any Wikipedia policies in any significant way. It is fair and balanced. It has not acted as a troll magnet.

Criticism is a legitimate part of an article on a topic, in the interests of NPOV. I encourage you to read WP:Criticism and specify any ways that you think this section is in breach. Discussion on this talk page is the next step of the process, before large scale revision. By moving the material to a separate Criticism article, you have created a POV-fork, which is against policy.

With all due respect, a negative attitude towards the Roman Catholic Church is not sufficient reason to remove the criticism section. Thanks, Tonicthebrown (talk) 04:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Roman Catholic theology, March 4 2008
Hi.

The recent contributor 193.198.138.10 has asked me to help him-or-her-or-they to help rephrase what he-she-they are trying to say to conform to WP:NPOV. I'm mentioning this to you because you've already started to respond to those edits yourself, so I just wanted to let you know that all of that is probably going to be changed soon, hopefully to a form you yourself find agreeable.

Thanks,

 * To 193.198.138.10:
 * Okay, here is the net difference after my most recent edits compared to the version that existed right before you started editing this article today:
 * Roman Catholic theology (diff)
 * Note that I deleted the "Conservative and secular Catholics" and "Church attendance" because, while interesting, they do not belong in an article about Catholic theology.
 * If you really want to find a place for those sections, I suggest first putting them on the talk page for comment, and perhaps starting a new page on "Practice of Catholicism" or something like that...
 * Hope this helped, let me know if you have any further questions, concerns, or issues -- and, anyway, have a nice day, too!

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Sumaterana! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created  is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the article:

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.
