Performance management

Hey Carl. I'm not sure why you deleted my updates to the performance management definition. I run a research firm on this topic and this is my profession - and you are a religious scholar. Why would you just "delete" things posted by subject matter experts? I'm not sure I get it. Thanks. jbersin —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbersin (talk • contribs) 17:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP does not allow self promotion, OR, or linking to blogs. The post I put on your talk page should explain why I've reverted some of your edits. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 17:47, 11 July 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.

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.

Afghanistan

Hi there. You reverted one of my edits on Afghanistan. I just wanted to make clear I did not change the denonyms. What I changed was the reference. The reference note is set out in a very convoluted way with two references within it. It would be easier to include it as a straightforward reference. The actual citations were slightly incorrect in that they purport to quote a dictionary when they are actually quoting a website which quotes a dictionary. Green Giant (talk) 16:03, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only thing is that how the demonyms are handled was a very contentious issue a couple/few years ago. The status quo has been stable for some time, and that is the only reason I reverted you. If you still want it your, admittedly simpler/more straightforward, way, please revert me. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 04:28, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have changed back, but it's not really a reversion. Green Giant (talk) 07:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have reverted Green Giant's edit and explained it on his talk page. Cheers. Tajik (talk) 11:06, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Christianity WikiProject Newsletter
Issue XI - August 2009
Project news
  • The Christianity project and its related projects currently have 75 FAs, 8 FLs, and 147 GAs, with a net loss of one FA and one GA. Our thanks to those who helped keep some other articles listed, and to those who have worked so diligently in improving all of our articles.
Member news
  • Three new members joined this past month, including new members User:116Calvinist, User:Lrnngrbc, and User:Frazz, bringing us up to 295 listed members. Thanks to you all, and a special welcome to our new members!
Other news
  • Two new pages for the benefit of members of the project have been created. Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Mutual aid society is designed to be a place where editors seeking specific assistance from other members can with luck find others who have the abilities or materials they need, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Special collections is, at this point, the beginnings of a list of publicly accessible special collections libraries which our members might find useful. Anyone who lives near one of the collections listed is encouraged to visit them and see if they can find anything they would like to read or use to improve some of our articles. There are always some discussions regarding project related activities at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/General Forum. I think the timing of the call for elections might have been bad (summer vacation, what was I thinking?), and have thus changed the period for individuals to run to be one of the project's coordinators. Individuals who have a particular interest or knowledge of specific fields within Christianity are encouraged to run, to serve as a kind of "unit coordinator" for that topic.

From the Members

Welcome to the Eleventh 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.

One area in particular need of attention right now is the content related to the Oriental Orthodox churches. Several of the topics within this field are of great importance, including the churches themselves, their histories, thinking, and some of the individuals associated with it. Unfortunately, the number of people who belong to the churches, and, correspondingly, the number of editors working on that content, is smaller than it could be. Anyone interested in helping to develop this content is more than welcome to look at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Oriental Orthodoxy page and seeing where they can help out.

Ethnic structure of Republic of Chile

The white people in Chile are 52% sources: http://convergencia.uaemex.mx/rev38/38pdf/LIZCANO.pdf —Preceding unsigned comment added by NewAntarticwik (talk • contribs) 03:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You do need to make it clear when you edit articles that you are replacing out-dated content with up-to-date sourced content. It is difficult to see the value of an edit that changes sourced content without explicitly explaining the situation. Thank you for the note, though.

Open source hardware‎

Unlikely to be "self" promotion. Marty (Diehl Martin) died a couple of years back.

Sadly this does mean that those FreeIO redlinks were likely to stay that way forever, so it's a good wikiprune, but it is rather a shame that the FreeIO project seems to have ground to a halt since. Andy Dingley (talk) 18:19, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I just assume, when someone adds nothing but information relating to a single company. If any of the links were actually going to become blue I wouldn't mind keeping them. But a new editor adding nothing but links and a "reference" about that single company... I doubt it. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 18:26, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Reassessment of Alcohol in the Bible

Hello, I see that you are taking on the clean up of this article in response to my GA Reassessment. I'm going to extend the hold as I see that great progress is being made. Please notify me when you are done so that I can finalize the review. Thank you for your work on this important subject and overall for your work on Christian-related articles. It is much-needed. H1nkles (talk) 15:23, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, H1nkles. Honestly, I doubt it's going to make it to GA status. Pretty much all I've done is cut down on material; it probably needs things added. Sorry for the hold-up, I've just been really busy this week. I'll try and finish it in the next few days. carl bunderson (talk) (contributions) 16:41, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Renaming SBC resurge/takeover article

The article currently titled "Southern Baptist Convention Conservative Resurgence/Fundamentalist Takeover" will soon change its name. An early straw poll narrowed the choices to six alternatives, listed at: Talk:Southern Baptist Convention Conservative Resurgence/Fundamentalist Takeover#Straw poll 2 (once this thread is archived, see here.)

If you wish to rank the names suggested there, please do so soon. Please put other comments BELOW rather than interpersed among suggested names. Thanks. --AuthorityTam (talk) 18:28, 9 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sarcophagus of Julian

Why did you delete it?

The Sarcophagus of the Roman Emperor Julian the Apostate(Istanbul Archaeological Museum):

Turkish source: "Topkapı Sarayı ve Çevresinin Bizans Devri Arkeolojisi" (by Hülya Tezcan)

The Sarcophagus of Julian the Apostate: first in the Church of the Holy Apostles > Topkapı Palace (until 1847) > Hagia Eirene /Aya İrini Church (until 1916) > Istanbul Archaeological Museum now! (& there is no cross on it! because he was not a christian!)

But he was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in a porphyry sarcophagus. from: http://www.ellopos.net/elpenor/vasilief/julian-apostate.asp?pg=10

It is generally accepted that the Emperor Julian was reburied in the Church of the Holy Apostles at Constantinople at some unknown date after his initial burial outside Tarsus in Cilicia in 363. Böri (talk) 09:51, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hola Señor, vi un mensaje suyo en mi buzon. Me podria por favor explicar a que se refiere? Gracias. Hello Sr, I received a message from you on my mailbox and I really don't understand what are you trying to say, or rather, why do you say that. First, who are you? Why did you write to me?
