Hi Mbecker, just curious: was the above manually or automatically generated? Harris7 20:54 26 Jun 2003 (UTC)

It's done manually, originally by mav but now by whoever notices the new user first. There's a template we copy-and-paste from. —Paul A 01:32 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

re: the spelling of "mediæval" in C. S. Lewis:

The short answer is that I wasn't really thinking about it. It was a knee-jerk reaction: "Lewis was English, so 'medieval' is wrong. Revert." I didn't pay any real attention to the capitalisation, or to any instances of the word other than those changed in that particular edit.
There may be someone who has a clear and systematic view of which instances should be spelled which way, but it isn't me. —Paul A 01:23 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hey!

You wrote in the Protestantism page: "Catholics honor saints, and worship God alone".

Theologigally this is correct... But what the official theology forsees often is in contrast with what common people believe in. I live in Italy and I can assure you that the worship of Mary and of Saints is more popular than worship of God Itself!

Writing that Protestants venerate only Jesus Christ I just wanted to state that Protestants don't believe (or honoor, if you prefere) in anyone located between MAN and GOD. - 30th June 2003 Giorgio

Hi Giorgio. I don't think I would want to try to guess what common people believe in, in all the many different world religions. I have stated Catholic doctrine: we worship God, and honor Saints. I believe there is some confusion here also, regarding the difference between "worship", "venerate", "adore", and "honor" - which I'm not particularly well qualified to address. I'm curious: you state the Protestants do not honor anyone between man and God; certainly Protestants DO honor their father and mother?! Harris7 21:05 30 Jun 2003 (UTC)

repost from kt2's talkpage

Hi KT, I noticed the extensive work you're doing in the Eastern Orthodox patriarchs and Catholic popes, looks great! One question about John Chrysostom - the first paragraph ends with a statement about him being honored as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox church. He is also considered a Saint in the Catholic church, as well as a "Doctor of the Church". Being new here at Wikipedia, I wasn't sure if I should go ahead and add this information, and whether I need to cite references, such as: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08452b.htm and http://www.ewtn.com/library/THEOLOGY/DOCTORS.HTM ? Harris7 13:37 18 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Thanx for your kind words. Anyway it's okay to add those informations of JC, which, I think, are considered rather trivial. Those references can be listed under External Links. I often either find a public domain source or produce materials that would be copyrighted under other sources. Verbatim copy-and-paste is an absolute "no" unless the source is not copyrighted or an authorization is granted. Here are some links you may find useful: Wikipedia:Public domain resources -- Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission -- Wikipedia:Public domain image resources -- Wikipedia:Copyrights kt2 04:27 19 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Well done on Catholicism. It is frustrating on wiki when someone comes onto a page and adds in seriously flawed POV stuff. I've been amused to find myself turned sometimes into a defender of catholicism, given that I am not a practising catholic. Maybe I could be called a cultural catholic, aware though personal experience of catholicism of the need for sensitivity towards the faith and its adherents while not being blind to the Church's flaws.

BTW, I saw the mention of mediæval above. I spell it that way! Personally I would like if wiki opted to use the local form of english for the relevant article; British english for British articles, American english for american topics. But the best we can do is to say that whichever form of english is used by the first writer should be what is used in the article. So we have British spelling and dates in some American articles, American spelling and dates in British articles, etc. And a small minority of us using mediæval! wikilove. FearÉIREANN 06:14 23 Jul 2003 (UTC)

I've done a bit of a rewrite of the opening of the Catholicism page. The opening paragraphs were almost incomprehensible, not to mention monumentally wrong, and some new user came along and made them worse by far. It is hard anyone could do an article on Catholicism and not mention things like Apostolic Succession, the Vatican, etc. It is a bit like doing a history of the USSR and forgetting Stalin. Have a look at the rewrite and see what you think; you certainly appear to know about the topic so your opinions would be particularly welcome. I think it reads far far better and is far more accurate. FearÉIREANN 00:44 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Check out Nanobug's compact table of contents for list of legal topics. It is an improvement over the regular TOC generated version. You might want put that on your condensed of religious topics list. Alex756 06:30, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

Thanks, Alex! Done as suggested. Harris7 09:36, 5 Sep 2003 (UTC)

VfD[edit]

Hi Harris7, I have removed your request from VfD and added a new note at the top of the page to explain why. Redirects are very rarely deleted as people outside of Wikipedia might be linking to them. The one you listed has existed for some months and as a result is accessible via Google, so needs to be kept so we don't break links. We keep redirects unless there is a very good reason reason not to keep them. If you are interested, there is a lot of information on Wikipedia talk:Deletion policy/redirects and related pages which are linked to at the top of that page. Hope that helps. Angela 20:45, 7 Sep 2003 (UTC)

On Amazing Grace and the reference to Uncle Tom's Cabin -- yes, somehow the 'l' did get deleted from novel, but pied is correct. The verb is usually given as pi, and it means to jumble or confuse. I changed that back. -- Smerdis of Tlön 14:20, 17 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I see you have come across our Traditional Catholic fan! :-) FearÉIREANN 19:41, 6 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Just for your interest, I have answered your message in my talk page. Pfortuny 21:16, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I do not master English as to make a good version of Vatican's bio for the Canonization, but maybe you could try? Facts are what matter here, so one should take out quite a few sentences... TIA. Pfortuny 14:20, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Sorry to nag, I have been granted (e-mail) free use of the Founder's bio at [www.opusdei.org] so you might consider using it as well. Pfortuny 14:33, 23 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Hi, I've called a vote on Talk:Mother Teresa to clarify once and for all what people think about the current article and what we should do about it. Please express your opinion. lol FearÉIREANN 23:07, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

Just wanted to send you my Christmas Greetings. By the way, thanks for your help when I was a complete newbie. Pfortuny 23 Dec. 2003

Article Licensing[edit]

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Hi,

I've made some edits -- some shallow, some deeper -- to the Baptism of Jesus article to which you contributed. I'd like to get consensus on them.

Anonymous Comments[edit]

I hope you burn in hell, you liberal loving ass clown —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.100.207.236 (talk) 00:35, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is an ass clown? Whatever it is, I suspect you meant to say "truth-loving ass clown." As for burning in hell, there's only one way to find out. - Harris7 (talk) 00:50, 26 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of William Rivers Pitt[edit]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is William Rivers Pitt. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Rivers Pitt (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UNECE Population Activities Unit[edit]

Please don't copy and paste one article into a new name. The page must be moved to the new name to keep the history intact. See Help:Moving a page. The highly esteemed CBW presents the Talk Page! 01:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Me, a vandal?[edit]

Now this is interesting. I noticed the recent vandalism by 128.240.229.7 to several articles, most of which had been promptly reverted except for one article: Negative_Dialectics, where this user deleted one sentence without explanation. I reverted this vandalism here but my edit was promptly reverted by Polisher_of_Cobwebs with the euphemistic Assume Good Faith tag. So I'm the vandal now?! :-) Harris7 (talk) 21:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Virginia Tech Project Invite[edit]

As a current or past contributor to a related article, I thought I'd let you know about WikiProject Virginia Tech, a collaborative effort to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Virginia Tech. If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks!
