Welcome to the second of my Archive Pages! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 17:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello

I am still new to wiki. And I am taking the whole responsible to construct the page about St. Peter's college, Colombo. The list of Old boys was originally added to its page but since the list is growing very large I decided to have it on to a new page ,'List of old.....'. I am taking information from old AGM reports of the OBU of SPC. And I can grantee that they are true and take responsible on all the information that I am writing on this page...Godfrey Walawage (talk) 23:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I am not doubting your sincerity, but the article in question runs afoul of WP:NOTDIR requirements. I might recommend saving a copy of the article offline, in the event it is deleted, and working to ensure there are proper Wikipedia links to the individuals cited on the list should the need arise to reintroduce it. Thank you and be well. Pastor Theo (talk) 00:22, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I am new to Wiki as well. I have written a 'talk' message regarding the significance of one of my submissions. Please let me know if my article is now acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valuesourcer (talk • contribs) 00:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

If you are referring to Moderntailor, it appears your work was tagged with a G12 concern -- copyright violation. You may wish to revisit the subject ASAP and change the text to address that problem. Pastor Theo (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you help me again?

Hello Pastor Theo. I was just wondering if you would be able to get a picture for Mutumuna Falls. You have been very good lately and your efforts are appreciated. Thank you.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 02:50, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello again! I am afraid this is one area where I cannot help you -- my knowledge of that subject is nonexistent. However, there is someone online named Dr. Blofeld who writes a lot of African articles. You may want to ask him for advice on that subject. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 03:35, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I posted on his talk page. Thanks.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 03:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I did look, no images on flickr, only one a google search engine. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 18:26, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Cape Verdean American

the last months there hasn't been any edit on this web page Cape Verdean American if visited cape verdean american wep pages on google yesterday and saw a few things of cape vereans in rhode island since if followed wikiproject rhode island i wanted to ask you if you could edit somethings on cape verdean american (Questchest (talk) 12:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC))

Hello, and thank you for thinking of me. This is not a subject where I have any expertise -- we have several Liberian families at my congregation, but no one from Cape Verde. However, I will take a look at the article and see what I can do to help bolster the article. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of St.Peter's College alumni

My article List of St.Peter's College alumni was deleted...I add all details form proper resources but how can I make sure next time when I create this article that it will not be deleted. Godfrey Walawage (talk) 00:31, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I would recommend reading the comments that DGG left at the tail end of the debate. The problem with the list was that the vast majority of people cited were not notable, as per Wikipedia standards. I might recommend creating a new section of the article on St. Peter's College that lists five-to-seven of the most prominent alumni. Good luck and please keep me updated on your editing progress. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:43, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Another picture please

Can you please get a picture for the song I Live for the Sun by The Sunrays. I thank you in advance.--The Legendary Sky Attacker 07:15, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I am not having much luck locating a photo. If I find one, I will let you know. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 14:02, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Guatemala

Thanks. I would make them all more detailed and referenced but I have a minimum of 60 articles to make guatemalan buildings and structures independent so I need to work quickly. I will be doing the same with the other Central American countries! I'll try to reference them if I can. Sure is amazing what is missing. Check out this site. Hit the coffee museum!

Relisting AFDs

When relisting AFDs, please take note that per WP:RELIST, discussions should only be relisted a second time in exceptional circumstances. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 13:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps I need to march off and get the print books to enhance the article. Her 24 hour Annie Oakley/Calamity Jane shoot 'em up defense of hearth and home inspires me. Edison (talk) 04:22, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

If anything, she must have been quite a character! The discussion was a lot of fun -- thanks for a great challenge! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 10:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Follow up

What are your thoughts on the subject I asked you about before?---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 05:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I am extremely flattered that I would be considered. If you're ready, I am willing. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 10:41, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

The Last Temptation

Balloonman would like to nominate you to become an administrator. Please visit Wikipedia:Requests for adminship to see what this process entails, and then contact Balloonman to accept or decline the nomination. A page has been created for your nomination at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Pastor Theo. If you accept the nomination, you must state and sign your acceptance. You may also choose to make a statement and/or answer the optional questions to supplement the information your nominator has given. Once you are satisfied with the page, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

If you decide to run, I would suggest reading this essay. Also, don't transclude your RfA unless you have a few hours to nurse it. The first few hours of an RfA people get finicky if you don't answer their questions. Anyways, good luck. Also, if you want a co-nom, it is up to you, although I frown upon having more than 2 nominators.---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 02:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if anyone wants to co-nominate, but I welcome support. I will get to the essay in a minute. This should be interesting, though I can't help but recall Matthew 22:14 when thinking about RfA! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 02:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Or the same chapter, 7:7. :) Best of luck, Antandrus (talk) 02:52, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Lectionary articles

Ι know you. I saw your edits in numerous articles. I alos expand existed articles, uncial articles. The articles like Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Vaticanus, Codex Alexandrinus, and Codex Bezae should receive FA in the future. The articles like Codex Ephraemi, Codex Boernerianus, Codex Washingtonensis and many others should receive status of GA article. So, it is nice to cooperate with you. Are you pastor? I was pastor, several years ago, but only three years. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 01:00, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I am a full-time pastor in the USA. I didn't realize you were a pastor at one time. I am very impressed with your work. Keep doing what you are doing! Pastor Theo (talk) 01:03, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

You're on your own

GL, I'll be travelling the next few days, so you'll be on your own... but unless something major comes up, you should be fine.---Balloonman ^{NO! I'm Spartacus!} 06:31, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Have a good time on the road, Mr. B. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:05, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

WikiThanks

Hi Pastor Theo. I just wanted to thank you for contributing to my RfA. It wasn't one of the best RfA's held, but I've learned a lot from the experience. Sorry for sending you the message today, and not last week when my RfA was closed. I've been very busy the last time. Thanks once again! Kind regards, LouriePieterse 10:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much! It was a pleasure to support you! Pastor Theo (talk) 23:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

DYK for The Rookie (1959 film)

On July 7, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Rookie (1959 film), which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page _{(here's how)} and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Shameless thank-!spam

Dear Pastor Theo,

I just wanted to take a second to personally thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which just closed as successful at 66/6/1. I wish you the best of luck in your RfA -- it looks as though you're going to pass! I'll look forward to seeing your handiwork around the wiki. Best of luck, Matt (talk) 07:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, Matt! It was a pleasure to support your RfA. Pastor Theo (talk) 09:55, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

FYI

Film plots do not require references. Please see [1]. Thank you. MovieMadness (talk) 14:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for clarifying that point. I will keep this in mind for any future film articles that I attempt to write. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 14:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

BQ

Could you look at the above page for me? I removed an entry that to me is offensive, and does not seem to have any value. There is a history tab and it seems to show that this is a recurring problem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.110.134 (talk) 21:18, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

This user is already under investigation for sockpuppetry and seems to have an obsession with either myself or this terminology (note the multiple WP:SPAs in the history if you wish). The history of this disambiguation page shows an obsession by at least two users (one now deceased) to remove a term they don't like. An additional opinion is always welcome. Right now it is 3 users vs a single puppetmaster (the above IP). — BQZip01 — ^talk 00:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

It looks like the typical sock that's obsessed with a single sentence in a particular article. Sockpuppet investigation, for the benefit of Theo, is Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Grandma Dottie. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 00:56, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea why this IP decided to tap me, of all people, since I have no connection to the page. It is not something where I can offer any input. Pastor Theo (talk) 02:46, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I would guess that one of his socks communicated with you at some point in the past. Think hard, dude! The future of wikipedia lies in the balance! (I might be overplaying that a bit.) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 03:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You had some communication with BQZip01 on his talk page, so the sock could have come here just as a random selection from that page. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 11:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

    - He did. He also said (or his scripwriter said), "Whatever it is, I'm against it!" Then there was the story he told about (literally) bumping into a priest, who said, "I want to thank you for all the joy you've brought into the world!" and Groucho said, "And I want to thank you for all the joy you've taken out of the world!"

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Harrasment

Pastor Theo

I feel that Adimns Bwilkens, & Baseball Bugs are abusing their power and Harassing me, and attempting to bait me into a fight. Baseball Bugs is accusing me of using Wikipedia to try and sell my image. I have NEVER offered the file for sale on Wikipedia. I have only stated how I had come to create the file, why I created the file, and how I eventually came to start selling the Image. If you ask me they are just full of SOUR GRAPES and I am feeling Harassed by them. I am sure somewhere, there is a rule that prevents them from doing this. This image never bothered anyone, until yesterday, when they tried to block me, they saw it on my user page.

I left the following message on Baseball Bugs Talk Page

"Why is it you think I am trying to sell something? Look at the files history. Where does it say I am offering it to Wikipedia Users for sale. All I have done, was add a blurb about the file, and what I do with it. NEVER have I offered it for sale! See again USERS LIKE YOU Accuse me of doing something, I am not doing."

Please Help, Respectfully Yours--Subman758 (talk) 16:17, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

The brouhaha raised by this is a self-defining illustration of why this kind of stuff is not allowed on wikipedia. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 16:34, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

However, I should thank him for unilaterally promoting me to admin. Or should I? How do you like it so far? :) Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 16:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations Buggs, I didn't know that unilateral promotion was an option. I should have considered that before my RfA. I think it is quite appropriate that Pastor is partaking in a little Baptism by fire. :D --kelapstick (talk) 16:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Meh. Compared to the stuff I deal with IRL, this kind of stuff is like a weekend in Atlantic City! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 00:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

No, no, not a plague of locusts. What ya think, I'm God? Don't listen to those rumors. A plaque of locusts. Like one of those awards they give when you've served 25 years and they're about to lay you off. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 04:01, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

A plaque of locusts? Never heard of the expression before. Plaque, yes. Locusts, yes. But never having the two together. I thought you misspelled "plague." Ah, silly me. :) Pastor Theo (talk) 04:06, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Gitorious

Hi, please reconsider the speedy deletion of the Gitorious article. In addition to being the next most popular Git hosting site after GitHub and hosting several high-profile projects, such as Qt and Sugar, Gitorious' server software is notable as it is one of the most full-featured open-source project development platforms (the code underlying Sourceforge, Launchpad, GitHub, Bitbucket, CodePlex, and other popular services is all proprietary), and is among the most popular server choices for running a Git project hosting server. I have revised the article to emphasize these points on User:Tuxcantfly/Gitorious. Tuxcantfly (talk) 16:24, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! In its current state, I believe the article runs afoul of WP:RS standards and will probably either get tagged for speedy deletion or tagged for AfD. It would help your cause if you can add proper references to the article. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 22:08, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Question

Hello i am new to wikipedia too and me and my assosciate thought it would be a good idea to make a page about our band now that we are getting more and more recognised around britain. Why did you feel the need to delete it?

For reference the band is called two happy chaps and we were halfway through constructing the page when i found out it was deleted by you...

why did you do this? there are many bands on wikipedia who dont have their articles deleted, what makes ours so exceptional?

thanks Craig McAndrews —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.124.188 (talk) 12:15, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Request for being administrator and a query.

Hi,

I wanted to know that how can I be an administrator and how can I apply for it. And I also want to that can I upload the image which is captured by me for an article which I want to write.

Thank You, Sukhoi30mki (talk) 13:57, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Please check out WP:RFA to learn more about the administrator process on Wikipedia. You will need more experience here before you can apply, but you are welcome to participate in the process in determining which editors can be selected for adminship. Pastor Theo (talk) 23:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

As you told me that the Saraswati International School article is being sent for AfD. I want to know that what should I do with that? I mean what's the use of that? Can you explain me briefly which I can understand clearly? And I can't understand why is it going for deletion every day. This school is well known on internet too. And also on Orkut. It has its own website i.e., www.sisvalsad.com ; still why is it proposed for deletion. The very first article that was written by me was proper and I didn't find any thing promotive in it. It had all the information S.I.S. (Saraswati International School). And it was not written with a sense of promoting it, it was just a step taken to let people know about it. Specially the people of South-Gujarat, India. I'm not interested in reading those huge policy's. If you can explain the reason to me in simple words, it'll be better.

Thank You, Sukhoi30mki (talk) 10:07, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello again. Yes, this may seem confusing to have an article's credibility challenged on a daily basis. However, there are different degrees of deletion review -- speedy deletion, prod tagging and AfD. In regard to the subject, I might recommend reviewing WP:RS and WP:ORG to determine if the article meets Wikipedia's editorial requirements. That was the reason I took it to AfD -- I was concerned that it did not. However, some people who are coming to the AfD do no agree with me, so perhaps I was wrong? Also, I strongly recommend that you read those "huge" policies in order to understand how Wikipedia works and how you can best contribute to its content. Just take a few minutes to read the policies -- trust me, in the long run it will help. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 10:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

So now will that article of Saraswati International School remain on Wikipedia? I wanted the article which I wrote previously to be available, but there are only few lines now. Why is it so? Can you explain me? And whom to apply for administratorship, because I've experience of doing these sorts of job. Sorry for disturbing you every time. Now can you remove that tag of AfD from Saraswati International School article?

Thank You, Sukhoi30mki (talk) 12:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Please, you are not disturbing me. :) Let the AfD run its course -- at the moment, it appears the article will be preserved. On Wikipedia, anyone can edit the articles, so don't be surprised if the text you originally wrote is edited or removed. In most cases, the change is for the better, in order to meet our editorial requirements. With administratorship, real life work doesn't really apply to what is required on Wikipedia. You need to be active on this project in order to satisfy expectations that you can handle the duties. Pastor Theo (talk) 10:41, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you tell me which project? And I also wanted to know that can I add the images of events which took in place in Saraswati International School in the Saraswati International School article? Sukhoi30mki (talk) 06:02, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia is "the project" I am talking about. You can upload photographs, provided that they meet fair use requirements. Go to the "Upload File" link in the Toolbox at the left hand of this page to read up on that. Thanks! Pastor Theo (talk) 10:21, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

What about the article of Saraswati International School? When I logged out and searched for it to check whether article is present or not, the article didn't appear as if it was never created. Why is it so? And can you please tell me that how long will discussion for its deletion will continue. Do reply soon. And I also wanted to know that How can I become a candidate for the Wikimedia Board of Trustees Election ? Do reply soon. Thank You, Sukhoi30mki (talk) 08:26, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello again! The AfD debate should be wrapping up later today or tomorrow, and it appears the article will be preserved. I assume you are referring to a Google search for the Wikipedia article, yes? If that is the case, I cannot help you -- I don't know very much about search engine optimization. As for Wikimedia's election, I believe you need to have a good deal of Wikipedia-related experience before your candidacy can be supported by our fellow editors. Thanks again for your patience and interest. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi,

I'm was talking about Wikipedia. I mean when open the Main Page and type Saraswati International School in the search box, it doesn't come. I think the case is that it will not have been loaded properly or something like that, anyways I think it'll come after sometime. And yes, thanks for supporting me as a good friend. And answering my queries.

Thank You, Sukhoi30mki (talk) 13:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello again! Yes, I just typed "Saraswati International School" into the search box and the article came up. It appears that all is well now and the article is preserved -- my AfD concerns were dismissed, and rightfully so. You should be congratulated for staying the course and advocating the article's presence here. I am glad that I made your acquaintance and I hope that we can work together on future articles. Be well, and please stay in touch. Pastor Theo (talk) 14:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. How can I delete an image uploaded by me on Wikipedia or any of its subs? Do I have the right to do that? If yes, than please tell me the procedure for it.

Thank You,Sukhoi30mki

Lithuania–Romania relations

Do you have time to peek at Lithuania–Romania relations and see if you can find any references? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:35, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for asking, but I think I will sit this one out. This is not a subject where I can provide expertise. Pastor Theo (talk) 23:10, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear fellow Wikipedian, on behalf of the Kindness campaign, I just want to wish you a Happy Bastille Day, whether you are French, Republican or not! :) Happy Editing! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 20:32, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup! :) Pastor Theo (talk) 23:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Question

You deleted the article for The Last Block in Harlem. Can you take it out of Google Search now. It is distracting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.38.132.137 (talk) 22:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I have no control over Google, sorry. Pastor Theo (talk) 23:40, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

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

It was a big month for new members, with User:RandomNumberSee, User:Per Ardua, User:Muzhogg, User:Arlen22, User:Scotchorama, and User:Jaybird vt joining, bringing us up to 292 listed members. Thanks to you all, and a special welcome to our new members!

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

The WikiProject Films has recently created a new task force for Christian films. All interested parties are welcome to join and contribute.

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.

Another one?

I'd appreciate a picture for Harvest Home (song). As usual, I thank you in advance. Cheers.--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 02:13, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Done! I appreciate that you created the article! I always loved Big Country and I am glad to see this article online. Thank you! Pastor Theo (talk) 11:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

My pleasure. And thank you for helping out as always. Guess what, I created Fields of Fire (song) as well.--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 19:48, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD closure

The notability of the subject, were it factually based, would not be at issue, nor was that issue addressed in the AfD. Would you care to comment on the Verifiability of the sources, and the multiple issues raised in the AfD about their quality, as these affected your decision? Anarchangel (talk) 15:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello! As I stated in my closing comments, AfD is not WP:CLEANUP. Issues related to the quality of the references can be addressed via editing, and I am glad to see that efforts have begun to clean up the article. Be well. Pastor Theo (talk) 11:27, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

7 days at AfD

=7 × 24 = 168 hours. Please don't rush it even if it's obvious, or other admins will start doing so when it isn't obvious. There are sometimes last minute useful comments that occasionally result in continuations or even reversals. DGG (talk) 16:55, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
