minim

Hey

Thanks for the feedback I was not expecting such a well thought out response. I am mean that genuinely. I removed the minim section because there is a controversy as to the true identity of the minim. It is interpreted as heretic, apostate, Gnostic, Jewish Christian (like Jews for Jesus), and many other terms. As you may have guessed I am interested in religion, I am currently a theology major. Anyhow I am writing my thesis on the minim, and I removed the term because it is misleading to say they were apostates. I did not however label the page as disambiguous that was done before I got there.

Yea you were right that was a jab at the guy. I changed it.

Bush

I was just curious why you deleted what I wrote on the George W. Bush article? I wrote that Jesus was not a philospher. He wasn't a Philosopher, he was a religious leader, a theologian perhaps, but not a philosopher. Why did you delete what I wrote?

Semi-protection

I saw you just reverted vandalism on George W. Bush, and wondered what you thought about the proposals to curb what's going on there. If you have time, check out Misplaced Pages:Semi-protection policy, and weigh in (there's something of a large discussion page, so be prepared. For a quick run-through of what's been said and done, see #rehashing) Hope to see you there. -Mysekurity 02:40, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Concordia RV

Thanks for reverting the Concordia page, it's nice to not be the only person eyeing it...just a question, the same guy keeps on reverted to the massive POV version, do you know if there's a way to block him (or her I guess)? djheart 14:22, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Graham Christensen

Feel free to delete the page. I intended on writing a article, but put that as a placeholder. I left for work, came back and someone took the papers with the information.

Popups assisted revert

Can you help me understand how this works? Is it just that when you hold your mouse over something it gives you the option to revert? or does it have a "recent chagnes" kind of list. thanks in adv - Trödel•talk 02:37, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Pacea lui Cristos

No problem. I only know about WP:PNT because I hang out there. Besides, it's less work to add {{notenglish}} and list it on WP:PNT than it is to go through an AfD nomination.  :) About 1/4 of what we get is copyvio, and gets speedied as such. Some of it is a copy/paste from another language's WIkipedia, and those get speedied as such. Finally about 1/2 to 2/3 gets translated within two weeks. The rest gets sent back to AfD when the two weeks are up.

If you'd like to give this article some time on WP:PNT, you might want to retract your nomination. And andmin would then close it as speedy keep, and the article can always come back here from WP:PNT if it doesn't get translated, or if it turns out to be garbage.

• To retract the nomination, add a vote of speedy keep, and in the body of the vote say that you are retracting the nomination to allow the article to be listed on WP:PNT. Jamie 06:24, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
• Cool, thanks. Now we'll just wait for a Romanian speaker on WP:PNT to tell us what the article means... :)
