Speedy deletion nomination of Acts 29 Network

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Acts 29 Network, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GregJackP Boomer! 00:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events

Good day. Tomorrow morning my employer is sending me to a somewhat remote location until February 17. During this time I will have a little or no internet access. There's a possibility I may be able to edit wikipedia for maybe half an hour, two or three times a week at most, but it is a distinct possibility that I won't have any computer access at all during this time. Normally I don't tell anyone when I get sent on errands like this (normally because nobody notices I'm gone, lol) but our Jehovah's Witness friend, with his well meaning but obvious conflict of interest attitude, is still not entirely satisfied with the JW predictions in the article. He is now proposing removing the 1918 prediction that we agreed upon, and rewording the 1975 prediction in a manner which I believe skews far more in favour of JW's than a neutral article should. I just thought I'd ask you to keep an extra lookout on the page as I will most likely not be watching it. Cheers. Freikorp (talk) 01:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Entombment of Christ

Thanks for your edits (I should say, thanks for your interest - it's nice to know that someone is reading). I sourced these edits to McGrath, but I haven't yet had time to say what book it is - so more to come. (McGrath is a professor at some college in the US) PiCo (talk) 09:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I left a reply on my own Talk page. McGrath's book interests me because it's directly on this subject, but as I say in my reply to you, I'm not sure it counts as RS.

My own interest in religion is purely as history - I have no spiritual/religious "feeling" in me. But I am interested in how these books came to be written, what the original communities and authors were trying to say. And I'm awe-struck at the artistry of some OT works like Genesis 1 and 2-4 - simply amazing, works of literary genius by any measure. But, for me, not spiritual - I regret that I don't understand the spiritual mind - and I rather suspect that my own mind must seem rather cold and strange to those who do.

Edit War at John Calvin

Hi StAnselm, I am having some disagreements with JHutson and we have worked towards consensus. The heading: "Securing the Reformation" does not have consensus, so it shouldn't be in the article. Is that what you are referring to when you say we are having an edit war? When we reach consensus on the heading we'll leave it as we have agreed. Until then the heading does not have consensus, is not neutral and by MOS should not be in the article. Do you think we should ask for help at this point?Markewilliams (talk) 02:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

False accusations and warnings

Excuse me for a moment, person who names themselves after a saint on the interent, but please, tell me what exactly it was about my editing an article for relevance and adding legitimate sources to an article constitutes a 'personal attack'? Was it that I stumbled upon a personal crusade you were carrying out against some other user? Or do you just block people for your own personal self-interest? Why do you care so much? Detail what made it a personal attack please?

Who are you, a total random, to be littering my unused talk page? Seems you're the one doing the attacking (from moonandantarctica2) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.107.123 (talk) 14:27, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

2nd post from moonandantarctica2:

WHAT!?!? I called the person you were warring with on this public IP address I'm using a 'nutjob', i initially thought your user name was nickD, then corrected myself. So I was saying, 'Stanselm, that guy (you're warring with) is clearly a nutjob, but...'. Please re-read the edit post and it will be a bit clearer in this context. Essentially i was agreeing with you. I certainly did not call you a 'homophobic racist'. You can post an apology for your false accusations and warning here whenever you're ready thanks. I only got involved as I went to use wikipedia and found that the IP address here at the hostel was blocked, so I poked around to find out why, and frankly, because I was bored got caught up in it myself. Just because two people share an IP address doesn't mean they are the same person, or do you not understand how the internet works? As for accusations of 'sneakiness', i didn't bother directly referring to the correction as it was pretty clear from the repetitive subtraction and addition of words displayed on the history that I obviously was maintaining my original approach to the article, therefore only mentioned the NEW addition.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Cotton/Preparationism DYK

Hi; I've reworded the DYK a bit to get it under 200 characters; hopefully that's what you had in mind. Concerning the original DYK: "...that Boston minister John Cotton agreed with banishing Roger Williams in 1635, but supported Anne Hutchinson during the Antinomian Controversy until the day of her excommunication?" -- it was actually worded correctly. Cotton supported Hutchinson until the very day of her excommunication; I don't read it as implying that he dropped his support as a result of the excommunication. She had spent the previous night, and in fact the previous week, at Cotton's house, so that Cotton and Davenport could work on her theological errors. This was very much what Cotton was all about. He would much rather have corrected the errors rather than lose the soul. In fact, he was disappointed that Roger Williams was banished before he could correct his errors (not that he would have been successful), though after the fact he wrote Williams explaining why he had been banished (thus implying that he in essence agreed with the banishment). As I wrote the original DYK, it seemed very clear in my mind, but perhaps others would have interpreted it as you did. Water over the dam. Hope you find the new DYK to your liking.Sarnold17 (talk) 20:30, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

No, I was wrong. Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines says "one article reviewed for each bolded article in the hook". I'm actually in the middle of reviewing an article, so I'll be sure to finish it off. StAnselm (talk) 01:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

New Testament domestic code

Hi StAnselm. (It's been a while since we've connected.) Hope you're doing well. 1. The concept is aka "New Testament household code". I'd like to establish a redirect from that term to the "domestic code" article. Pls refresh my memory as to how to establish a blank article with the title "New Testament household code". From there I remember how to use Redirect. 2. It needs to be found when one searches for Haustafel or Haustafeln. The German titles are very often used in the titles of English articles written on the subject. What do you recommend? 3. In the literature, Domestic Code is nearly always capitalized. I think I recall that title searches are case-blind, but throughout the article, I've tried to be consistent capitalizing Domestic Code. Do you still prefer lower case for that term in the title? Thanks for your help. Afaprof01 (talk) 22:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate/Overlapping Categories

Hi StAnselm - I wanted to check in on the categories you are adding to many biblical scholars. I think we should make Category: Biblical scholars a parent category of Category:Old Testament scholars and Category:New Testament scholars. I think the vast majority of subjects should be categorized as either Old or New Testament scholar, almost never both, and maybe only occasionally categorized as Old or New plus as a biblical scholar. What think ye? Ἀλήθεια 20:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely - that is my intention. But we can also have the nationality category as well, as I added to Paul R. House. I have put a note on the Category:Biblical scholars page to indicate that it is a parent category, and I've been busy recategorizing. StAnselm (talk) 20:41, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see that now. OK, I'll take care of doing that for the other articles that I've created. Thanks! Ἀλήθεια 20:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Follow up question. Do we really need two categories, Category:American theologians and Category:American Christian theologians? Are there any theologians of other religions in the parent category? I would also be willing to bet that more than a few of the articles in the former would be better categorized as biblical scholars rather than theologians. For instance, just the first one on the list is Ezra Abbot, mis-categorized as a theologian. Ἀλήθεια 21:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

No, we don't. There are a lot of silly duplications like this on Wikipedia. It should be changed with a wholesale category merge. The thing is, getting a result at WP:CFD can be a long and tedious process, so it's the sort of thing ignore. As for the second issue - that's something that can just be changed on a case-by-case basis. Many people will be both theologians and biblical scholars, but I would think there has been a fair bit of miscategorization. I only just noticed Category:Translators of the Bible into English - a few of the articles I've worked on needed that added. I also generally add Category:Bible commentators if they have published three or more commentaries. Anyway, thanks for your work. StAnselm (talk) 21:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Preparationism DYK

Hi, StAnselm; our joint DYK doesn't seem to be going anyplace, likely because of the double whammy of having two reviews needed, and then my very long Cotton article. Do you think we might have better luck just going with separate DYKs, if we can get administrative approval?

Theosis

Think you're wrong about this one. From my reading of the rules, you can't have a "disambiguation page" unless the words have the same name. Obviously "Theosis" is a different word from "Divination" so there must be some explanation why "Divination" could be considered some kind of "Theosis."

Just note, if you revert 3 times, and they revert 4, you are still edit warring. Arguing "I only did it 3 times" isn't likely to be taken as a good excuse.

Hi St.Anselm: As you may have noticed, the same-sex marriage article has been taken over by people who have made it into an editorial. I need help in cleaning it up and presenting both sides. I wrote in the talk page: The Wikipedia policy states that not only are articles to be written fairly and with encyclopedic language, but opposing viewpoints are to be included. This is not the case with this article. It is a blatant example of one side of a debate being presented without equal weight to the other side’s opinion. Nevertheless, three hackers have taken over and immediately (sometimes within one or two minutes) reverted any changes I make. Can they be reported to Edit Warring? Even when I open up the article for discussion because the neutrality of the article is in question, they immediately take that down. All my edits are immediately removed.

Hello Again: Thanks for the response on my talk page, and I appreciate your advice and comments. The reason I posted that the article is not neutral is because both sides of the argument are not presented.

Sometimes this is done within 2 minutes. In addition, I want a discussion regarding the lack of neutrality in the article to take place, but the same three people immediately take down the tag at the top and say that no discussion needs to take place.

Senegal

Seeing as you've done most of the work on it, I'm letting you know I've put a prod on it for lack of notability. The reason I've given is "Small church with no reliable independent sources given. The three references given are their own site, a list and a directory entry whose info differs from the article, and which states that they can't guarantee the info or even that the church still exists (but I think it does...)." It seems they've been there in one form or another for 150 years, and achieved a membership of about 250 - split between four or five parishes, and mostly non-locals as well. I noticed your rationale for declining speedy, and I can't think of any automatic notability for church denominations, congregations or even churches. (Or synagogues, mosques, sacred groves, temples or whatever.) Possibly with some RS (currently lacking), there might be notability. Good luck. And thanks for trying to rescue it.

Missing article on John Calvin's theology

I've gone through the 1999 Brill/Eerdmans Encyclopedia of Christianity and find, somewhat admittedly to my surprise, that some of the longest, and presumably most significant, articles in that source don't yet exist here. These include various "Theology of (X)" articles, including the article "Calvin's theology". One might think that such an article would be redundant to the "Calvinism" article, but, actually, both of those articles exist in that source, and both are over 2 full pages apiece, indicating that there is some apparently good reason to break them up. The full list of articles in that source, FWIW, can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Encyclopedic articles#The Encyclopedia of Christianity. I note that you are one of our self-described Calvinist editors, and it was on that basis that it occurred to me that you might be among the individuals most interested in perhaps creating an article on the subject of Calvin's personal theological/philosophical views. I'm going over the list to see which articles might exist in other titles here now, with the hope of nominating some for upcoming contests, but thought this one in particular might be of interest to you. I could myself if requested perhaps e-mail the content of those articles to you, if you requested and gave me your e-mail address to send them to. John Carter (talk) 17:15, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Cryx88 created the article Chiese Evangeliche Riformate Battiste in Italia but somebody changed this to Baptist Reformed Evangelical Church in Italy, this is however incorrect, it's vandalism, please help to convert the title to Evangelical Reformed Baptist Church in Italy or Chiese Evangeliche Riformate Battiste in Italia.

Passion (Christianity)

I'm assuming from your chosen user name and from contributions I've happened to see from you that you might have an interest in or be able to answer the question I asked at Talk:Passion (Christianity)#First sentence. My understanding (which I'll frame in-universe) is that the Passion is meant to convey the human suffering that the Son of God underwent in bodily form, and that our contemplation of the terribleness of this suffering is intended. At the article, it's said that the Passion is the "passing" of Christ, which strikes me as both implying a false etymology and rather depriving the concept of the power of its intended meaning.

It would be a distraction for me to pursue this, as I was only linking to the article, but if I'm not mistaken it should be fixed, and yours was the first editor's name I thought of. Cynwolfe (talk) 17:04, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Reply to your comment on your use of the word 'weasel'

Please remember that many of us are ordinary folks who are not hip to the lingo. We tend to take 'weasel' as 'weasel' just because it is what we are used to. (How did that poor animal's name come to be such an insult, anyway?) And I have seen wording like 'some scholars' used freely and frequently elsewhere in Wikipedia, and such phrases are considered quite normal in the mainstream community, including many acedemic works. Plus, when you delete my entire idea rather than just change the 'weasel words' I assume you are hostile. Plus, the idea I was countering was a rather angry anti-democracy idea, or so it seemed to me. I was trying to make the article less politically radical. Sorry if I came across as hostile. I hope there are no hard feelings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.193.5.116 (talk) 10:45, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Template:World homosexuality laws map shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Furthermore, you have deleted sourced material to return to a non-NPOV version, citing a nonexistent consensus. Cavann (talk) 23:17, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

I recently added some pictures to the Presbyterian Church in America and edited the Reformed Churches in South Africa. I created the Old-Reformed Congregations (unconnected).

Removal of Nude Bathsheba image

The image has excessive nudity which has no relevance in the larger context of the Book of Samuel.

WP:ERA misinterpretation

I don't want to edit war over this - I think you're remembering an old version of WP:ERA. It now says established style with no reference about how the article started. BCE was added in December 2010 [1] to a version that had no era nomenclature as BC had been removed in July 2009[2]. There's no hard and fast rule here about 'establshed' but I've seen a change from BC to BCE that hadn't been challenged for about 2 years kept, and in this case there was no change from BC to BCE, just a much earlier unrelated removal of BC and then someone adding BCE. I hope you'll self-revert. Dougweller (talk) 09:43, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

William Branham

William M. Branham appears to be quite biased from my point of view. In fact, it appears that the article is being used as an apologetic for William Branham by his followers. The article is filled with links to pro-branham websites, while all external links to websites critical of Branham were eliminated.

I have no issue with the NPOV concept and that self-published sources can't be utilized but there must be some kind of balance to free an article from the kind of bias that colors the article in its present state.

I am at a bit of a loss as to how to proceed given that the editor that was responsible for deletion of the critical links is an avowed follower of Branham and is largely responsible for the present state of the article. I would appreciate your advice on the issue. Thanks. Taxee (talk) 23:20, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

List of scandals involving American evangelical Christians

I think your recent edits here have been rather unhelpful. You could have added refs from the main articles rather than delete the entries. All the subjects had their reputation or credibility damaged or destroyed - the definition of a scandal. I could write a justification for each if you wanted. In the context of your AfD nomination, I think this could be considered tendentious editing.
