AOL vandalism[edit]

Greetings. Yes, if the edits by the anon (which is coming from America Online) are vandalism or over-the-top POV, you can report them at WP:AIV; if he's unusually persistent we can protect the page. AOL is hard to deal with because you can't block individual IPs effectively. If, however, it is a content dispute, you need to work out the differences on the talk page -- I wouldn't call deleting a single external link vandalism, though certainly some of the edits in the history are revertible on sight ([1], for example, which is an obvious violation of WP:NPOV). Hope this helps! Antandrus (talk) 20:57, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me like this was the only AOL edit today [2] -- removing an external link. Except that this particular AOL anon has a history of vandalism, I wouldn't call removing an external link vandalism, per se. The best way to proceed, in my opinion, is to restore the link, and leave a note on the article's talk page indicating why you think the link belongs in the article. If other people need to get involved, you will be seen as the one who is attempting to discuss the issue, rather than just edit-warring. The rule on reversions is no more than three per day per individual, but that's an electric fence rule -- i.e. people are strongly encouraged not to revert more than once per day, if at all. Hope this helps! Antandrus (talk) 18:40, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Christian Naturism[edit]

You may want to hold off on adding quotations. I'm not sure a large collection of them is necessarily encyclopedic. In fact, I have significant reservations about the article itself. I would suggest, if you have a lot of other quotations, that you should attempt to integrate them into the article rather than simply list them. For example, instead of simply listing the quotation from Love and Responsibility, you could have written something like this: "The Catholic church does not condemn nudity per se; according to Pope John Paul II in Love and Responsibility (1981), nudity is only immodest 'when nakedness plays a negative role with regard to the value of the person....'" See what I mean? Powers 22:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:JesusBaptism.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:JesusBaptism.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
