Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article was never protected. (Another example of not necessarily believing everything you read on Wikipedia.) User:Mrg3105 is not an administrator (he's not on WP:List of Administrators), so he doesn't have the ability to protect pages. There was nothing behind the notice that was put up. I removed the notice. As I see it this is simply an ordinary content dispute. Under the WP:BOLD guideline, editors are within their rights to make big changes to articles, but they do so at their own risk. Other editors can disagree, remove the changes, and insist on discussion before major changes to an article are accepted. Assuming good faith, I'd suggest chalking up the "protection template" to a misunderstanding, write a note on the user's talk page and start a discussion on Talk:Prophecy, and see if User:Mrg3105 might be willing to discuss or negotiate the changes he'd like to make. Suggest taking thimgs one step at a time from there. Whether you think the edits should be reverted or not prior to discussion is up to you, just be aware that repeated back-and-forth reverting is frowned on and the Three revert rule is designed to prevent it. I'll try and keep an eye on it but I'll be busy next week, you might want to contact another admin if something happens that needs immediate attention.

Semi-protection

[edit]

The best way to go about that would be to request it at the request for page protection page. I can try and look at the history in a bit, but I'm a tad overwhelmed at this second, and may not get to it too quickly. Sorry. -- Avi (talk) 18:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Evangelical missionary

[edit]

Are you an evangelical missionary?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠12:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. Why? Paulrach (talk) 07:49, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious because I don't want to say anything you may find offensive. --mrg3105 (comms) ♠09:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There's not much you could say that would offend me... and I think God is big enough to look after himself. I'm not being flippant or irreverent there. Personally, I think too many Christians (and those of other religious persuasions I suppose...) define God and then tell Him what He should be thinking and doing. This invariably leads to extremism of one sort or another. We may have differences of opinions....but isn't it those differences that make life so much more interesting.... Paulrach (talk) 21:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BTW I do have friends (and in-laws as it happends) who are evangelical missionaries... but they're probably wouldn't be offended either...mildly annoyed maybe...but not offended ;o) Paulrach (talk) 21:48, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have three questions

[edit]

I made an edit today--one edit--to the article Carrie Prejean and have not made an edit to the article in days, but yet another editor reversed my ONE edit and then reported me on the 3RR notice board. I find this to be a clear use of Wikipedia to win a debate about article content and direction. Prejean was called a series of negative things by Perez Hilton, most of the words are contemptuous and vile, such as the b-word and c-word. There are editors that believe that each and every one of Hilton's use of those words MUST be included in the article about Prejean. Now, I don't see the need to have an article about Prejean dominated by the words and comments of ONE individual (highly negative words at that) dominate the life story of Prejean. It is tantamount to having the words of Saddam Hussein concerning George W Bush dominate the Wikipedia article about Bush. It violates Wikipedia avowed goal of NPOV and it violates BLP. Now, I know that consensus in Wikipedia editing is one of the goals, but consensus does NOT override other valid Wikipedia ideals such as BLP. There can be a compromise made where the gist of Hilton's highly negative opinion is included in the article, but at the same time it does NOT dominate the life story of Prejean. Prejean is notable for many, many reasons, not just her public fight with Hilton. She is notable for being a successful model; she is notable for participating in Deal or No Deal; she is notable for being the current Miss California USA; and she is now notable for being a TV personality. My first question is: Can you at least review the article and see if the second, third, fourth, and fifth repetitions of the b-word and c-word violates BLP? I believe that it does. And my second question is: Is it appropriate to make a report on an editor for violating 3RR even though that editor has only made one edit? And my third question is: Is misusing 3RR to win a debate on the proper interpretation of BLP appropriate? I don't think so.--InaMaka (talk) 15:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Christianity WikiProject Newsletter
Issue X - July 2009
Project news
  • The Christianity project and its related projects currently have 76 FAs, 8 FLs, and 148 GAs. We gained new recognized content in each field, with 4 FAs promoted, 2 FLs, and 3 GAs. Congratulations and a big thank you to all those who worked on these articles!
Member news
Other news
  • I am still working on the categorization matter. With any luck, we should have some results by the end of the month. There are also some discussions regarding project related activities at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/General Forum. One issue in particular that might be addressed is possible elections of new coordinators. Anyone interested in serving in such a capacity is more than welcome to indicate as much.
Related projects news
Member contest of the month
  • The previous contests are still ongoing, because of the extreme amount of time the categorization is taking me. Anyone who can bring any of the few Stub class articles among the project's 1000 most often accessed articles by the end of July will get an award. Please see the details Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Christianity#Project challenge of the month.
Christianity related news
From the Members

Welcome to the Tenth issue of the WikiProject Christianity newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

It has been a long time since the last coordinators election. There is a lot for people to do, and I certainly would welcome seeing any individuals with an interest in such a position put themselves forward as candidates. I in particular would very much like to see some degree of "specialization" in the coordinators, so that, for instance, we might have someone knowledgable about some of the specific Christian faith traditions or other main subjects, like Orthodoxy, Lutheranism, Mormonism, the Jehovah's Witnesses, art, theology, and so on. If any parties who have experience with some of our faith- or- subject-based content would be interested in being candidates, I would love to see them do so. Please feel free to take part in the discussion regading what the minimum number of category items is, and how to deal with the non-qualifying categories, on the General Forum page.

peaks' parentage

[edit]

Hi. I've reverted your edits to List of peaks by prominence. If you're interested in the subject, you ought to read Topographic prominence#Parent peak. Just because a mountain peak is the highest in a large region doesn't mean it can't have a parent.
