==Somalian Catholics==

I appreciate your intervention in the article, Student7. A Somali moslem is adding data not needed, like about the Bantu used by the Italian colonists in plantations (but what has to do this fact with catholicism in Somalia?). Indeed, many moslem countries have the same small amount of catholic followers (or even less, like in the Arabian peninsula), but they are all worth to be included in an encyclopedia like ours. That is what makes worlwide renowned Wikipedia. Sincerely.--[[User:LittleTony|LittleTony]] ([[User talk:LittleTony|talk]]) 16:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Revision as of 16:33, 23 October 2009

Melbourne, FL

I put the section back in, mainly because although a bit gaudy it was all true, and all seemed to be valid articles.

Perhaps get rid of the arrows, move to the back?

The Georgia Page

Actually, now that I think about it, I went to the Georgia page and went through the links of the major cities. When I went to each cities page I checked out there metro status and Macon came in third behind Atlanta and Augusta.

Dated cleanup tags

Hi, thanks for your message, SmackBot does not generally add tags, but merely dates those that are already there. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 12:11 7 August 2007 (GMT).

Catholic Churches

You offered some comments last week about a proposed deletion of Incarnation Catholic Church and School (Glendale, California). You correctly noted that the article was rough, as it had just been started. I have been preparing articles on some of the significant parishes in Los Angeles and wondered if you'd have a few minutes to take a look and make suggestions on format, content, info boxes, etc. One of your notes indicated that the number of members was key data, and I agree, but do you know of any verifiable source to determine membership for Catholic parishes? Examples of the parishes I have so far created articles for are: St. Andrew's Catholic Church, Pasadena, St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church, St. Charles Borromeo Church (North Hollywood), and St. Finbar Catholic Church and School (Burbank, California).

Brandywine

Brandywine is a general disambiguation page (which Brandywine Creek and Brandywine River) point to.

I went through all the Brandywine references and updated them to point to the appropriate articles. There were and are many pages referring to either "Brandywine Creek" or "Brandywine River" and not necessarily pointing to the correct one.

"Brandywine River" can refer to: "Brandywine Creek (Christina River)" or "Brandywine Creek (Cuyahoga River)". or the fictional (Hobbit/Rings Trilogy) Middle Earth river.

"Brandywine Creek" refers to at least 25 different ones in the U.S.

(5) Brandywine in British Columbia, (2) Brandywine in Nova Scotia, and more outside of North America ...

Rivers are officially disambiguated by their downstream_parent, for instance Brandywine (Christina River), only when that fails, then a reasonable civil sub-division. See WikiProject Rivers for more details.

If you undo my updates, you are on your own...

Charles Adams

I am not particularly familiar with Vermont but I try to edit pages with correct links, sources, etc. Adams' page says the town so it has been fixed to that. Any correction to my corrections can be made. Thanks for the thanks!

A tag has been placed on St. Patrick's High School (Liberia) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

==Copyright problem: St. Patrick's High School (Liberia)== Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as St. Patrick's High School (Liberia), but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from http://www.sphs-stc-national.org/history-spsh.html http://www.egyptian.net/~leftypen/liberia.htm, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under allowance license, then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:St. Patrick's High School (Liberia) saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! MLauba (talk) 12:53, 28 July 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Editor declines are communication on this although the article has been reworded at least twice! And never copied by me to start with!Student7 (talk) 13:05, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Again, could you please clarify what article you forked it off? Also, the paragraph regarding the nuns have been added by you later on, and these are copy / pasted from this source. MLauba (talk) 13:30, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Answered on Talk:St._Patrick's_High_School_(Liberia)#Copyright violation. Article originally came to me from Congregation of the Holy Cross (paragraph was deleted from there and moved to article. Student7 (talk) 14:42, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've stricken the warning above because vio was obviously done by another contributor. Note though that a fork should be properly mentioned both in the article'ss edit summary and on its talk page, the latter using the {{copied}} template to make sure we can retrace the contribution history to its proper source - in this particular case to notify the right person of the copyright issue :)
Sorry for the stress it caused. I took the liberty to work a bit on the temporary subpage to make up for it. Best, MLauba (talk) 18:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Student7. I appreciate your efforts to rewrite this article. In some sentences it worked. However, altering a few words will not relieve a paragraph of plagiarism. If the overall sentence structure and content are the same, then it is still plagiarism. For example, this sentence:

A year following his consecration, Carroll made the arrangements for the Brothers of Holy Cross to come to Liberia and take over St. Patrick’s High School in 1962.

is an almost exact replica of this text: A year following his consecration as the succeeding Bishop of Monrovia, he made arrangements for the Brothers of Holy Cross to come to Liberia and take over the management of St. Patrick’s High School in 1962.

You can find more information at WP:PLAGIARISM which will help you when writing future articles. I've rewritten the article to remove the problem text and removed the copyvio template. If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me. CactusWriter | needles 09:37, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(why did the bot catch the new article but didn't catch it when it was part of a Wikipedia article? Oh, well). Student7 (talk) 12:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Having User:CactusWriter's talk page on my watchlist still, I noticed your note to him about copying the text from another Wikipedia article. As Wikipedia:Splitand Help:Merge set out, when we duplicate material from one article to another, we have to provide a direct link to the source article. This is necessary because Wikipedia's contributors do not release their material into public domain, but retain rights to authorship under the terms of our licenses, CC-By-SA and GFDL. This wikilink satisfies that requirement by allowing readers to access the history and see who contributed what and when. Usually, we put into the edit summary something along the lines of "Copied from Sourcearticle". Then, we note the reuse as well in an edit summary at the source article. That would read like "Material copied to destination article", in this case. This helps make sure that the article is not later deleted, as it cannot be as long as the article to which the material has been copied remains. We also have an optional template for the talk pages of both articles at {{Copied}} (instructions for using it found there). If you have copied material from one Wikipedia article to another in the past, please go back and indicate where the text came from, and should you find yourself needing to reuse text in the future, please be sure to follow the licensing requirements of providing attribution. Thanks! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:56, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is all very interesting, but I am working on my 20,0001st edit and I have seldom, if ever, seen this done in actual practice. The material was clearly in the wrong place to start with - a large school history in the middle of an article about a religious congregation, where it clearly did not belong. When I moved it, no one missed it!  :)
Interesting idea though. Student7 (talk) 13:05, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's a legal requirement. Please note at the bottom of every edit screen it currently says, "You agree to be credited, at minimum, through a hyperlink or URL when your contributions are reused in any form." If text is used outside of the licensing requirements, the copyright is violated. As our copyrights policy notes, Wikipedia's contributors do not relinquish their copyright to material; they only license it for reuse under specific circumstances, which includes attribution. See also [1]. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Hey, Student7 -- I just wanted to add this one last note. I do realize that you were accidentally caught in the crossfire on this thing. And I sincerely appreciate your help in cleaning this up. And... well, sorry about cluttering up your talk page. That should be enough for one day (or a month). Cheers.

Palm Bay Changes

Good catch on the education stat. In my head it was "Education" not "Schools". It's in the same place on the other municipality pages, so they'll need to be moved.

As for the bolds being removed, could you point out where in the Wikipedia:MOS it talks about bolding? I did a quick scan and couldn't find anything. I don't doubt it's there, but I'd like to see what it says, as I've formatted lists like that on the other city pages and eventually I'd like to solidify a format. Culicidae (talk) 20:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How do you propose a whole group of pages for deletion?

Never mind! I can see you are busy and I decided to ask Anthony Appleyard instead. He does a lot of work with deletions. Thanks anyhow!

--MelanieN (talk) 14:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

Dunfermline

please understand this, student7. during my recent work on Kirkcaldy to aim towards FA status, i was advised to cut down the length of the article and to merge some sections (such as sports into culture). no other user has told me that i couldn't do this and that i was ignoring the guidelines. if i had left sports as a seperate article, Kirkcaldy would be too long to meet the requirements. other examples such as Glenrothes and Dundee don't have seperate articles, the info is incorporated in culture. sport clubs are "part" of a town's/city's culture aren't they. there isn't enough sports info to warrant a seperate section, maybe i could add a bit more about Pittencrieff Park, but the point is the history and importance of the park are part of Dunfermline's culture.

also the reason i'm removing the notables section all the time is there are no references at all and are we sure that John Forbes was "even" born in Dunfermline? thing i read that he was actually born in Edinburgh, but was brought up in Pittencrieff House, according to the Dunfermline Carnegie Trust.

Wickham park in Melbourne

I reverted that edit because the two edits made from that IP in in the previous few minutes had both been blatant vandalism, and I thought it was just some subtle vandalism. So no problem with putting it back. -- Donald Albury 00:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Malankara

I can not agree with the statements in History of the Saint Thomas Christians &: Template:Indian Christian History 52-1653. Most of the statements are nonsense with no references from any records that I am aware and accounts for misrepresentation. There is lot of nonsense in Wikipedia in Thomas history. There are also forking which I have already noted on the talk page. At present I am more interested in correcting the Syro Malabar Church article with proper references and true – quotations.

Of course there would be some shared history in that article. I don’t see anything wrong in that, when it is properly referenced and based on facts. This is considering that the other articles are sourcless ie, most of the statements which even has citation can not be found.

I will definitely look in to those articles when I have time. I don’t know why there is any need of 6 or 7 articles about shared history. It is waste of time and forking.In my opinion, these articles need to be merged as i noted on the talk pagePamparam (talk) 05:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made a suggestion in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Syrian_Malabar_Nasrani#POV I think the common articles were reduced to two, it would make it easier to present a factual history. If Editors want to add more content to sections, they can create sub pages and that will limit the forking and repetition.Pamparam (talk) 06:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the suggestions and recommendations. I have moved the discussion to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indian Christianity

I have not made any edits on the Six articles after that. I will wait what everyone has to say on this. Thank you.Pamparam (talk) 01:00, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, lets wait for few days for some comments.It would be painstaking to correct all these.Pamparam (talk) 07:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It happened in Kerala

Malankara Church is in Kerala and their history is what had happened in Kerala. Their language is Malayalam. Their records had been written in their language.

Note that certain original documents are not expected to be published. They are available for study by authorized persons only.

If there is a common history during the first fifteen centuries, from where will you take the citations? Books on each topic are plenty, so that you can prepare the dishes according to your taste and make others believe it. It is a fact that the Malankara Church is now divided into many fragments. So leave it as seven or eight different churches so they can write their own interpretations and select suitable citations. Believing it or not is left to the readers.Neduvelilmathew (talk) 16:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can not agree with the statements by User:Neduvelilmathew. He says the language is Malayalam. I hope he knows when Malayalam was developed as a language.

While talking about fifteen century Malayalm doesnot know come in picture. The old documents of this community are mostly in Syriac. Most of these are published in English, Latin and Portuguese with the documents available from 16th century onwards.

For the first fifteen century or for a common article , there are plenty sources available to use for citation.

Of course there are many local books written in Malayalam in 21st century with Apologetic mis representations and factually in correct information.Pamparam (talk) 22:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Naval Academy - Rear Admiral (Select) Matthew Klunder

Understand your comment on RADM (sel) Matthew Klunder, and decision to revert, however, you may wish to reconsider. Note the Navy's useage of this title. For some examples, check out the Navy's biographies at http://www.news.navy.mil/navydata/bios/bio_list.asp. You will see individuals listed as Rear Admiral (select) and Klunder's biography will eventually appear in this list as well. As another example, the Department of Defense uses this title in its messages and news releases, e.g., http://www.defenselink.mil/releases/release.aspx?releaseid=8131. This how-to may also be of interest: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/bios/how-to.asp . Mhjohns (talk) 03:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did not make the original change. The gist of my comment to you is that the term RADM (sel) is, in fact, official useage. It is used by the Navy and by the Department of Defense and is included in official guidance. Mhjohns (talk) 15:12, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

christianity in India image

1. The Christian cross on the map of India seems an pictorial representation of the late pope's (John Paul II) call for "planting the cross firmly in Asia" and "reaping a rich harvest of souls". 2.

Sorry. As I recall, the numbers "65" appeared, a typo, I now realize, then changed to a 1565. But no edit summary with either one. Not sure if it was made in front of a footnote. It seemed unusual from a registered user, but it seemed reasonable to revert. Pretty much looked like something a vandal would do and has done! If you could fill in edit summaries that would help.

La Salle People

I compiled a long list of La Salle people in media and broadcasting. Why did you delete it? They are all public, relevant people - even if they aren't all listed on Wikipedia. 66.0.131.50 (talk) 22:43, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


No where in the article does it say "notable". The people listed are merely information related to the article - List of La Salle University people. Presumably, all information on Wikipedia needs to be notable, but not all of the information itself is notable enough to merit it's own page. Therefore, considering the aim of this article, it's perfectly reasonable to list individuals who do not have their own pages on Wikipedia (as long as they bring notablity to the article itself). 66.0.131.50 (talk) 17:04, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A great number of the listed people you removed were television and radio journalists who are in the public spotlight in their regional areas. In addition, their names linked to their television station's bio. Those individuals, at the very least, should be allowed. Wikipedia has already acknowledged that regional TV personalities are notable in many, many cases. 24.214.53.191 (talk) 19:13, 10 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deliberate redlinking

Did not understand why you were deliberately red-linking names in Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas (Angelicum).Student7 (talk) 13:14, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only name I redlinked was Charles Moredod, due to the fact that he is a prominent theologian and ecumenical expert in the Roman Curia. I had created a stub article in the meantime, but it did not appear that way immediately because of a linking problem (i.e. Moredod instead of Morerod). ADM (talk) 13:19, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Not a problem. I had thought there was also a Latin motto or group or something, but I must have been mistaken. Thanks. Student7 (talk) 13:24, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding Nova et Vetera, I'd also like to create it as a stub article for the notable theological review founded by Father Charles Journet. I haven't done that yet, but the redlinking is obviously part of the creation process. I might create a disambiguation page first though, due to the fact that Nova et Vetera can also be a latin motto for several other things. ADM (talk) 13:30, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bishops sending stuff to India, 883

It might be that the "Bishop of Sherborne" bit should come out. The Chronicle entry for 883 says that Sighelm and Æþelstan went to Rome and to India (and þy ilcan geare laedde Sighelm and æþelstan þa ælmessan to Rome the ælfred cyning gehet þyder, and eac on Indea to Sancte Thome and to Sancte Bartholomeæ). It does not mention Sighelm's position nor Æthelstan's. Either one might have been a monk or a thegn or a soldier or anything.

I believe this is the only record of the journey (it does not even say they managed to get to India) but that there were later Mediaeval expansions of the legend, which might have added unreliable material, promoting Sighelm to be a bishop.

Query regarding User talk:75.151.43.138

Hello. Just curious, but why are you removing the section headers that are recommended at WP:UTM? — Kralizec! (talk) 22:02, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Soviet Union

Actually, you reverted the phrase I fixed back to "tore up" yourself for some reason, along with two other unrelated edits. To explain this further, the original Russian phrase is "разорвать соглашение" which literally means "to tear up [the] agreement". The correct English translation of the verb in this case is "to dissolve". Evidently, someone tried to translate this from a Russian source lacking the knowledge of the proper connotation in one of the languages. There is no emotion or bias in this, just a translation error. --Illythr (talk) 23:38, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think "tore up" must be used. As I said, it is a translation error, which I corrected to "dissolved", thanks to you (see the diffs above). Then you reverted back to "tore up" (apparently, by mistake), and then complained about the phrase you reverted to being POV. :-) --Illythr (talk) 00:30, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, glad we could clear that one up *and* improve the article. Mutual understanding is a rare commodity nowadays. :-) --Illythr (talk) 13:16, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with references

I went ahead and properly formatted the recent reference you added on Florida(for the housing costs thing), with a link to the article (it's available on the Sun Gazette site for now, and with the title, can be pulled up at a later date). Thanks for adding more than just a bare reference; I noticed that you added a section a couple of months ago (on Architecture) with bare links. As those links are now broken (Florida Today only keeps links active for 7 days before they disappear behind the pay firewall), there is no way to verify the information. We have no date of publication, no title, no page number, not even an author. Please don't add bare references. Horologium (talk) 02:17, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arlington streets

I definitely see where you got your information for the street mileage in Arlington. However, I thought you should know that the article Streets and highways of Arlington County, Virginia claims the mileage is 559 miles. This needs to be resolved. --Tim Sabin (talk) 17:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-clericalism

Regarding the reference to the War in the Vendee in the Anticlericalism article, it is not the killing of the Republicans by the Vendeans which is considered the first modern genocide. Rather, it is the the massacre of the Vendeans by the Republicans. The text was unclear. I will clarify and add appropriate cites. Mamalujo (talk) 19:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Vote Re CC origins and historians differing POV's

Hello Student7, sorry to bother you but we are having a vote on the Catholic Church page regarding whether or not to include the dispute among historians regarding the Church origins. Can you please come an give us your vote so we can come to consensus? Vote is taking place here [4] Thanks! NancyHeise talk 01:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Somalian Catholics

I appreciate your intervention in the article, Student7. A Somali moslem is adding data not needed, like about the Bantu used by the Italian colonists in plantations (but what has to do this fact with catholicism in Somalia?). Indeed, many moslem countries have the same small amount of catholic followers (or even less, like in the Arabian peninsula), but they are all worth to be included in an encyclopedia like ours. That is what makes worlwide renowned Wikipedia. Sincerely.--LittleTony (talk) 16:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
