Mormonism-related articles

@John Foxe, If you see an important need to protect content or neutrality in one of the Mormonism-related articles, feel free to let me know via either my talk page or a private mail. I have been busy with real life work, and have not been monitoring articles for several months, but you have done a lot of good substantive work on Mormonism-related articles. I don't want any of that to be reversed merely because you are not able to edit for a while. COGDEN 00:00, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

I appreciate those kind words.--John Foxe (talk) 17:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Lady Hope

I've started the RfC and listed it under Bio, Hist, and Sci. Feel free to make changes if you think it could be improved. :-) Arc de Ciel (talk) 13:00, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I think what you've written is fine.--John Foxe (talk) 14:19, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

DYK for W. E. Biederwolf

On 13 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article W. E. Biederwolf, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that evangelist W. E. Biederwolf played football despite objections from his family? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/W. E. Biederwolf. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. }} The DYK project (nominate) 00:03, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

WMUU

I got your message. The webcast of WMUU is called "WGTKFM", as you apparently noticed, which made me wonder if they were changing the letters.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:04, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I understand that for some reason they can't use those call letters (GTK = "Greenville talk") on-air just yet.--John Foxe (talk) 22:14, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Ruckman

Hi, John Foxe. I've left a note asking you about your edit on the article's Talk Page. Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 19:56, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Okay, I posted on BLPN, you can see the thread here: Misplaced Pages:Biographies of living_persons/Noticeboard#Peter Ruckman

I tried to keep it simple and neutral so that we can step back and let others comment. Let me know if you have any concerns... Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. That looks fine to me.--John Foxe (talk) 17:18, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Duane Gish may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 ""s. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page. Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 00:51, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

You are correct, O BracketBot; my mistake.--John Foxe (talk) 10:39, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

RfC

If you really believe there is a consensus about including this BLP-related defamatory information, please ask for official closure of RfC discussion at Misplaced Pages:AN#Requests_for_closure. I did not do it only because I am sure there is no consensus based on the "head count" (3:2 excluding A. as someone who originally placed this information and started RfC) and the sake of the argument. Unless this is officially decided by an uninvolved administrator (who is going to be responsible for this), I will consider this as "no consensus" and a BLP violation. Thanks, My very best wishes (talk) 20:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Ball's in your court. If you'd like, you can ask for closure of the RfC discussion, and I promise I'll accept that as a community decision.--John Foxe (talk) 21:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Done. Not a big deal. My very best wishes (talk) 21:33, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

This request was sitting 11 days on AN without action. It means admins do not want to do anything about this. Therefore, I removed my request. You are very welcome to re-post if you wish. I still believe there is no consensus to include, and therefore this material should not be included per BLP rules, as I explained here. Sorry, My very best wishes (talk) 13:52, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry about what? You've unilaterally decided to do want you want to do.

The real question is, do I want to make a big deal about something that doesn't interest me that much. Got to think on that some. Until then enjoy Vladimir Putin, a man who regularly engages in the same sort of cooperation and compromise.--John Foxe (talk) 20:35, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
