Super Star Destroyer

Oh sorry, I thought you changed 200000 to 400. That's why I reverted. If those are the official numbers go ahead and post them. Again, I'm sorry

I guess the numbers will stay since they aren't radically different. I just saw the history and it looks like I reverted just as you edited so our reversions were messed up. Either way I don't have any proof on the numbers so I just reverted to your edit. Gdo01 06:11, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin Franklin

From reading his autobiography, it seems Ben Franklin was indeed Presbyterian, if only in name. According to Franklin, "Tho' I seldom attended any Public Worship, I had still an Opinion of its Propriety, and of its Utility when rightly conducted, and I regularly paid my annual Subscription for the Support of the only Presbyterian Minister or Meeting we had in Philadelphia. (my emphasis...) From my understanding of religious sociology of the era, you didn't pay a subscription fee for a church unless you subscribed to the belief system. Of course, Franklin underlines some differences of opinion that he had with the established institution, but nothing so major to lead me to believe that he was not willing, at least in name, to associate himself with Presbyterian belief and values. But I am no expert. Otherwise, very well written section. Locriani 04:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Locriani - This is a great reference; we should try to carefully incorporate it into the Benjamin Franklin article in a way that it is not too offending to some Wikipedians who adamantly believe the Founders were all Deists (Atheists today use the code word --Deist-- to make the Founders' beliefs appear closer to Atheism than to Christianity - a clear fabrication of course). Go ahead and take the first shot at getting this reference into the article. Be sure to include a good citation on the source. Also try to place it into the Religious views section into the Chronological order that it currently follows. Gaytan 19:38, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What I am trying to do with some of the Founding Fathers' articles, like Benajamin Frankin's, is to show that these men were much more than Deists, but not quite Fundamentalists Christians either. Most of these men believed in God and in seeking His guidance daily, but they were simply appalled at the manner in which the Christian priests were so corruptedly involved with various governments and the superstitions they perpetuated among the general masses which kept them stricly under their control. This is why so many of the Founding Fathers fit in so well with Protestantism which opened the doors to God so that communication with God could be achieved directly by the people and no longer have the necessity of an intermediary, corrupt priest (as many of the Fathers believed) between them and God. Yet most of the Founders carefully and purposefully failed to endorse any one religion, easily understandable after considering their knowledge and experience with tyrannical church leaders. They did not want any one in America's future to be able to argue something akin to, "Well, Washington, Adams, Monroe and the others were Presbyterians therefore America should adopt the Presbyterian Church as the Official Church of USA." They were terrified of their experience and history with the Church of England on the general public and, as can be seen in all of their writings, their primary goal was to figure out how to prevent any type of tyrannical government from taking over. To them all tyrannies were evil: left wing, right wing, theocracy or whatever. It was all the same to them. This, however, does not make them absolutely faithless.

Ok, i see. I am now working on some additions and expansions to your Religious Beliefs section, but it may take a while (architorture student...) Excellent work, definitely... Denial of our founding father's religious beliefs seems a little extreme, however mainstream it is now, i am glad that at least one other person is trying to update these views.

Two-year colleges category

Wow — you're quick on the draw! I only made the category a few hours ago, and already you've applied it to Tarrant Co. JC. Good deal. Just so you know, I'm trying to go through the system and add it to all the CC, JC, and technical schools I can find, but there are hundreds and it takes a long time. Thought I'd mention it in case you wanted to pitch in on the Texas ones ... Lawikitejana 10:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

You have recently said that I vandalised Dylan and Cole sprouse's article, but in fact YOU were the vandal. I reverted the article back to the original one, and you came and said that I have vandalised the article and you reverted it to the vandalised version! check your revesion! did they work in pornography? do they have a brother called shmack? is california in Texas? User:81.220.48.16

Sorry about that. Mistakes do happen, and i apologize. Remember, I am using a process that isnt going to be 100% accurate, and I revert based off keywords. Thanks for re-reverting to the correct article.Locriani 21:11, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

~~After reviewing the article in question and doing a little research of mine own, i have to say that the vandalism warning still stands.~~

~~Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.Locriani 21:16, 20 October 2006 (UTC)~~[reply]

Once again, i double checked that article, determined that in fact, it was a revert upon a revert that caused the misunderstanding. My apologies. Locriani 06:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise too for being a bit agressive User:81.220.48.16

Zatch Bell! Mamodo Fury

That's a good idea. I did make a mistake with the original Japanese title, because it turns out there's a lot of misinformation about the title. I'm making one last edit, and then I'll just leave it alone for now. Danny Lilithborne 02:58, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, he reverted it to his (horrible) version. I watch the Zatch Bell articles, and this is irritating me, but I'm going to leave it alone for now per your advice. Danny Lilithborne 03:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The last major thing I wrote was a gameplay section to Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes. I generally watch over Street Fighter and Guilty Gear-related articles as well as Zatch Bell!, Sailor Moon and othe related pages. I also watch some religion-related pages (such as Lilith and Azrael) but I rarely actually contribute to them. Danny Lilithborne 03:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bell High School (Hurst)

Hi, I noticed you made a redirect to a page for the purpose of article merging. The page L.D. Bell High School doesn't exist. It may be helpful to create the page first before you redirect it, so there are no dead links. Keep up the good work. Thanks. «»Who ?¿?^meta 04:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Smallville Edits

Thanks for catching the vandalism. I have been warning him, and a look at his history says that someone is up a little past their bedtime. Maybe an editor needs to be brought in?Arcayne 09:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've given him the final warning template, and he's since attempted to repost the information. I definitely think it's time to inform an admin. Locriani 10:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Catching vandalism

You're very welcome! Glad to be able to help :-) Will 20:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
