Disambiguation link notification for December 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Outback Truckers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Warburton. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Militating against Rastafari faith on off-topic articles

Lion of Judah is not the place for you to add your opinion that Haile Selassie denied being the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. You are also betraying your ignorance and failure at English language reading comprehension. His Majesty was asked if he were the reincarnation of Christ. He did not say yes or no but replied that he is a human. If this rules out his being the reincarnation of Jesus Christ it would imply that Jesus Christ was not a human. However since Ethiopian Christians do believe Jesus Christ was fully human, in addition to being fully God the Son, this is actually a point of similarity if not a direct answer to the question His Majesty was asked. Binghi Dad (talk) 20:41, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I was not aware that the inclusion of a well cited quotation of His Majesty would be perceived by some as militating against Rastafari faith. My edit to this page was intended to improve the readability of this article, and not to promote an opinion or agenda. I was mistaken in assuming that the assertion that H.I.M. Haile Selassie is the Lion of Judah as mentioned in Genesis and Revelation also asserts His Majesty's divinity, due to my unfamiliarity with the beliefs of the Rastafari movement. I now understand why you feel that the clear denial of divinity made by His Majesty is not relevant in this article and have removed this reference.GangGangQuokka2 (talk) 05:10, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, the Rastafari do not consider His Majesty's statement to be a "clear denial of divinity", so much as an affirmation of his humanity. If this statement denied his divinity, it would also deny the divinity of Christ, since Christ is likewise considered to have been a human and mortal.

Template:Films and television series about Aboriginal Australia

As I note in the edit summary, I've tried to do some tweaking so as to include Blackfella Films -- does this work better? If not, change or revert as you wish. Also, I'm not crazy about the slash in the title bar, "Films and television series about Aboriginal Australia/ns." It looks like a typo. I'd say go with one form of the word or the other. best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:57, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I'm done mucking about. Added some related orgs and a defunct news program. Also tweaked the autocollapse function as I see there are a number of huge Australian navboxes that weren't, and this was one of them. Blackfella Films could also merit its own eponymous category, as a number of production companies/studios have them. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:23, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- My only concern is your removal of autocollapse. There's a reason why we use it, for imagine what articles would look like if every navbox displayed fully. Anyway, take a look at Indigenous Community Television now, where only the Indigenous navbox displays in full, always. Anyway, I won't meddle further, but sooner or later someone will come along and change this back to autocollapse, if you don't. There's no reason why this navbox should take precedence over all the others, at the bottom of an article, best, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:01, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Indigenous vs Aboriginal. Pls discuss!

Hi. Personally, I'm also inclined to favour 'Aboriginal' in most contexts, bearing in mind the ambiguity of 'Indigenous' (whether capped or not). However, I'm aware that there has been some contention about the terms in Wikipedia and elsewhere--meaning that feathers may possibly be ruffled, leading to unnecessary disputation. So this is a matter that should be discussed on the Talk page before making unilateral changes. I invite you to do so, presenting reasons, authorities, citations, etc, there, since you have not bothered to do so when making your edits to the article. All I'm saying is that these terms are not necessarily a matter for inconsistent personal opinion in Wikipedia articles, though they may well be so in unencyclopedic contexts.

Bravo!

I applaud your sensitive and painstaking work in correcting and expanding the First Contact article as well as your practical contribution to the discussion initiated by myself.Bjenks (talk) 02:06, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UWA application

I've been obliged to make some tentative comments on usage of 'Indigenous' vs 'Aboriginal' by competing UWA authorities. I would have thought that the university's Berndt Museum of Anthropology would be pretty authoritative in such matters, and it uses 'Aboriginal' in a clearly general way.
