RE:Mohler

edit

Very nice. I think you've about covered it as neutrally as can be done. As I said on the talk page, even Mohler publicly admits he's controversial. The addition of the supporting view to counter the "Taliban" comment was very good. I don't think it's going to get better unless someone who's more familiar with him than the two of us comes along and starts working on it. =) Xaa 20:49, 9 August 2005 (UTC)Reply

Good article

edit

Keep up the excellent editing. One thing you might want to consider is including footnotes which are becoming more and more of an important part of really high-quality articles on Wikipedia. There isn't consensus right now on how to footnote (there are a number of examples listed on Wikipedia policy page), but a good set of footnotes is vital if you want to take the article to featured article status. Consider filing a peer review request too to get more ideas for how to improve the article. After you do that, apply for featured article status and, if successful, you'll see your work featured on the front page of Wikipedia! Best of luck, --ScienceApologist 18:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

The footnotes styles on Wikipedia do suffer from a lack of consistency, but I'm sure an editor as good as yourself will find a style that works for the article.
The size restrictions on Wikipedia are more of guidelines rather than policy. I could see, though, a number of decent spinout articles that could be made with respect to your article. If you decide to do something like Geology of Mammoth Cave or History of Mammoth Cave you can use the {{main|spinout article name}} template under the appropriate section and "offload" some of the content to new articles while keeping a brief summary of the content in the major article. Doing this for articles that may be interesting in their own right (for example, there may be people interested in the geology but not the history or park management or other subjects included in the main article) is often the best way to go to avoid people nominating your articles for deletion.
Also, it dawns on me that you could even have two different articles one for the Mammoth Cave system itself and another one for the National Park. They are two different subjects after all. To create a new article from the redirect above, just click on the small link at the top of the page and you'll go to the redirect page which you can edit with new content. Let me know if that sounds appealing to you and you have problems doing it.
Good luck, --ScienceApologist 19:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Patty Jo Watson

edit

A tag has been placed on the article Patty Jo Watson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Patty Jo Watson is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Patty Jo Watson. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources in order that your article will be verifiable. Stifle 20:16, 6 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Church of Christ Article Improvement Drive: Support.

edit

Taking this to your Talk page to reduce clutter on AID page. You mentioned attention to the Church of Christ in the media...I wonder if it's the murder in Selmer, Tennessee, and then Rusty Yates (a mass-media celebrity because of the murders of his children by Andrea Yates) has remarried within the Church of Christ. Creepy, but perhaps those were impetus to several to edit. I did a lot of editing today and yesterday, but it was all mostly cleanup of what people had put before: there were so few, gigantic, sections that there was no way to get a handle on things. I like the idea that the article is sitting in "neutral" territory (i.e. in a secular encyclopedia) so that here maybe of all places, the different factions can come together and each contribute something of what they know of the Churches of Christ, subject to the WikiPedia editorial policies to resolve disputes and so forth (hey the big problem with the Churches of Christ is they can't agree on the ground rules of debate, so why not the wiki policy?) I also think that makes the article a good candidate for the Article Improvement Drive. Alan Canon 22:23, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes, I did mean the murder, but I know next to nothing about the details of that event, so I didn't want to be too specific. I am aware that it is in the media now, and thought maybe that's why the article was getting so much attention. It's come a long way in the last week though and I just thought maybe we could get it up to featured article status :D - cohesiont 22:27, 2 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Spoilers on opera articles

Hi I see you put back the spoiler tag on La fille du regiment. I've reverted and would like to explain why. There was a big discussion about spoilers on the Opera Project talk page and as there was unanimous agreement about removing them from all opera articles, we removed them. - Kleinzach 23:27, 23 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

First of all I don't have a music degree, but I have helped create the internet, having been active since the beginning of the 1990s. Second La fille du regiment is an opera not an operetta. Third, you are absolutely entitled to your own opinion, but why not put it with the discussion rather than on my Talk page where no-one will read it? Keep up the good work!

to the B. C. Goodpasture and Marshall Keeble articles. I only heard Keeble once, as a child, but have been aware of his influences in the C of C and beyond for a long time. In fact, my parents were quite close to Willie and Maxine Cato. Willie, as you may know, was for several years one of Keeble's "handlers", as I called them with no intended disrespect, who served as his liasons to white congregations. I have long felt that Keeble deserved an article and am glad that you started one and hope that I have helped it slightly. As for Goodpasture, I was once admitted to the school bearing his name, but wound up not attending because of the distance from my then-home to Madison. Rlquall 15:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Caving

edit

Most of my caving was in the 1970's (when I was young & single!). I was the first one into one passage at Cumberland Caverns on a mapping trip with John Smyre and the Sullivan brothers (one of whom, Mike is now a Knoxville policeman and National Guard officer fairly recently back from Iraq; what became of Pat I don't know, last I heard he was in Ireland). I used to go to NSS events back then & am a lifetime member but haven't done anything in years other than VERY occassionally read the magazine. I'm still interested; my wife will tell you that my "ideal" vacation still involves seeing a commerical cave at some point during the trip, but I've never really succeeded in getting her interested in taking it beyond that. When I was at TVA for a little while in the late 1970's I was involved in searching for "cavities" in the rims of Tellico and the Raccoon Mtn. Pumped Storage; it was like getting paid to go caving and cave hunting (respectively). If you want more specifics (i.e., pre-development England Cove) I can share more. Regards, Rlquall 19:15, 2 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

To make the dialog easier, I have posted a reply to your last immediately below your latest reply on my own discussion page, which makes it a little easier to go back-and-forth and also, I suppose, for others to follow the conversation, if there are any which really care to do so.

Fair use rationale for Image:RevLonnieLanthamArrestPhoto.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RevLonnieLanthamArrestPhoto.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 17:17, 14 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ed Kalnins

edit

Who keeps deleting the quotes from sermons of Kalnins (that critics of Bush's Katrina handling will go to hell, and those who vote for Kerry will not get into heaven)?

Who deletes the source links, such as the page containing the videotapes of the sermons from which the quotes are taken (check the validity with your own eyes and ears).

If Kalnins is so non-notable, why are so many peopel involved in deleting information and the sources?

Why is it impossible to create a link from the terms and expressions on Palin's page to the wikipedia pages for those terms (assuming they are not deleted immediately after they are created? For example, Wasilla Assembly of God has a Wikipedia page, but the link from Palin's page does not get you there?

These three pages were my first, today, and I am but a simple mathematician who is new to this, but I had no idea Wikipedia was controlled by political advocates trying to block and delete information.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Anne Northup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page A Bridge Too Far. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Proposed deletion of László Jávor

edit
 

The article László Jávor has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This page is a stub and I don't believe it justifies its existence very well. Virtually no information about László Jávor is included besides his date and the reason for his fame. The poem, while it should probably be featured on the Gloomy Sunday page, also doesn't belong here. I propose that necessary information simply be merged into the Gloomy Sunday page, as Jávor doesn't seem to be known for anything else.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:01, 21 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
