Re: WikiProject Calvinism

[edit]

Thanks, but I, Nathaniel Pockras, am really not interested in participation. If nothing else, I prefer fields where things are cut and dried — not things like religion where what I believe is disputed by most people. For example, look at the history of Missionary and see what I put in, and the reactions I got. I know that we need people who can work in such situations, but I believe I'm more the person for matters such as geography pages: much work always needs to be done that really isn't disputable, unless (see the message on my talk page just above the invitation) it's an error and easily can be disproven. That, too, is why I do a lot of Wikipedia photography: aside from the question of doctored pictures, photographs are reliable and don't need sourcing the way text does. I guess you could just look at my edit history: check what I mostly do.
Thanks very much for the invitation, but basically it's not that I don't have time for stuff like this, but that this field isn't the kind of stuff I work with.

And yes, good guess who I am. I guess, though, you've not worked with any other people from Belle Center who are my age :-) Nyttend 12:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An example of why it's hard for me to deal with matters such as this is your Presbyterian worship page: statements such as the thing about lining out being a practical measure are generally original research, and yet it often seems hard to have a good article like this without having original research.

Your recent edit to the Separation of church and state article

[edit]

Tim,

I find it difficult to understand your recent edit to the Separation of church and state article, which your edit summary said has the purpose of correcting the article's presentation of RP views.

Before edit:

The Reformed Presbyterian Church, a Calvinistic denomination, also disagrees with separation of church and state, and advocates a full integration of the Church into the State.

After edit:

The Reformed Presbyterian Church, a Calvinistic denomination, also believes that the state constitutionally covenant to follow God's laws on earth; this does not involve a structural unification of church and state, though.

I have difficulty parsing the phrase: "believes that the state constitutionally covenant to follow God's laws on earth". According to Wictionary's definition Covenant is a noun which means (in the ordinary sense) an agreement between parties, or (in the Biblical sense) a promise made by God to Man. Could you please rephrase this or explain the phrasing? Also, I am not totally familiar with the reference cited at this point in the article. I presume that you are familiar with this document, and would ask that you cite the specific point in that document which supports your assertion (not that I doubt your assertion, but I would like to be able to find and read the section of the cited document which supports it).

Please either edit the article further or, if you prefer, could we communicate via my talk page? -- Boracay Bill 22:30, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Blue Banner

[edit]

By the way, where did the little logo that you designed come from? It overlaps with Image:Rpcnabanner.jpg, and if one is copyrighted, the other is too. Nyttend 15:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I understand what I sounded like. My point is rather that I don't understand why Rpcnabanner is listed as copyrighted; I'd like to be able to source that it's not. I just this morning got an email from the secretary at Airdrie RPCS, who says that the banner (in its present words) was first flown in 1639, according to Hetherington's History of the Church of Scotland, although the shape is not mentioned. I don't have time now, but perhaps when I finish school and go home next month I can put that up as a source for the words not being a new creation, since my father owns a copy of Hetherington's History.

Penal Substitution

[edit]

The Penal substitution page is a victim of edit wars. One editer has strong opinions and so has labelled the pages as "Neutrality disputed." His charge doesn't seem reasonable -there is no evidence cited of POV rather he is questioning the adequacy of the scholarship cited. Instead of adding to the article he wants to delete anything that doesn't meet his personal criteria. This is a request for advice -can a POV label be removed by anyone if it is unfair -what is the protocol for this. Have encouraged him to edit by adding other scholarship but he doesn't seem to want to unless he gets to rewrite the whole article his way -how do we get a way forward?

Translations

[edit]

Hi Tim, I finally got around to finished Reformed Church in France. I added Marcel Manoël also and started Protestant Federation of France. As for Reformed Church in France, the french article has a lovely logo, but copyright and fair use are not my strong point in Wikipedia, so here I would gratefully defer to anyone with more experience. I think the article would benefit from it. As for Protestant Federation of France, the links for that I will add and translate over the coming weeks. I am not sure if it falls within the scope of your (and now, my) project, but I think they would be of interest nonetheless. Let me know either way. Cheers. Meshsa 18:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to Ball gown

[edit]

You appear to have not even looked at the article before you cut and pasted material from Evening gown into it. What you copied was an almost exact duplicate of the section immediately above it.

But one difference I did notice:

  • ball gown - ballerina (to the ankle) or full-length (to the floor) (here already)
  • ball gown - always full-length for any white tie occasion (in section taken from Evening gown)

I don't suppose you've any idea which is correct (or if they depend on different interpretations of "full-length")...?

And something else you may wish to read: WP:MSH -- Smjg 20:28, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Francis Schaeffer talk page banner

[edit]

Oops! (Red-faced icon goes here). Thanks for catching and fixing my mistake. I'm sorry about that. I hadn't had a lot of practice yet in using the Banners shell. But I should have noticed that Calvinism, Christianity, and Missouri projects weren't showing up when I previewed the page. But the Bio banner takes up a fair amount of vertical space (and I think somewhat more in the shell than out); at a very quick (less than careful, I'm sorry to say), glance, it looked like "everything was there". Again, apologies, --Lini 23:57, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Tim - it looks like now some other editor has removed the Calvinism project banner from the Banners shell template on the Schaeffer talk page, without explanation; I don't see the editor in question listed as a participant in the Calvinism project; I thought you might like to check into it, and restore the banner, assuming it was not a legitimate removal. Cheers, --Lini 21:02, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP Christianity Template

[edit]

Hi TimNelson,

I noticed that not too long ago you did some work on the WP Christianity template. I was wondering if you'd be willing to do a few more edits there. I'd do them myself, but I can't make any sense of the code. Here's basically what I'm looking for:

  • A graphical representation of the articles assessed importance (just below the class assessment)
  • A WP Christianity "To Do" drop-down menu like the Template:Cvgproj has.

Would that be possible? Let me know on my talk page if you wouldn't mind making a few more edits. Thanks a bunch! Nswinton\talk 15:57, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help with the importance tag. I didn't realize copy+paste was an option. I might take a harder look at it later and see if I can figure out how to edit those templates after all. Anyway, thanks again! Nswinton\talk 12:26, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

genre pages for electronic music

[edit]

Hi Tim - It's been good working with you on the music genre articles.

There's also a discussion going on here, and in the section just above that one, regarding re-organizing the various articles within the general area of electronic music, to clarify the areas of electronic art music, electronic dance music and electronica, which is a hard to define area. If you have the time, I would be interested in your comments at the above linked page and I think you may find the topic interesting as well. --Parzival418 Hello 09:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Received your reply. No problem... the reason I thought you might be interested is that the issue is in regards to the organization of the pages and how they link to each other, sort of like what we were working on at Music genre. Electronic music has an art side, Electronic art music, and a popular side, currently at Electronica which is the page where the reorganization discussion got started because that term does not have a clear definition. Anyway, no worries and thanks for taking a look. --Parzival418 Hello 01:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chords to series by example

[edit]

Since we're doing manual semaphores, I thot you might like to be able to guess where you'd find mine. I was going to just pull some chords being used, but I would especially appreciate knowing whether I understand the difference between minor and major. It's not a frequency multiplier that I use, although that's a fine way to consider it, because that's the test mode. It's a script-based synthesizer that calculates sine-waves and writes them into raw data for sound exchange, complete with glides and queer silences at non-zero amplitudes due to sample-level timing, laziness, and the one-two beat that reverb blows into them.

Re Rev. vs Revd

[edit]

Hi Tim, I was wondering which article you were referring to. I have made changes several times, but it was usually when Reverend was abbreviated without a period ("Rev"). Generally in English, when the abbreviation ends with a letter other than the word itself, it must include a period (such as: etc. - the full word being et cetera). When the abbreviation ends with the same letter as the word itself, the period can be dropped, such as Doctor or Saint (Dr or Dr., St or St.).

Another problem most people have with the title Reverend is that it must include a definite article every time it is used as a title. It's the same as the title Honourable. English requires a "the" in front of every adjective used as a noun. I'm often fixing articles that leave off "the" in front "Reverend" for simple grammatical reasons. It is required both in sentences and when the name is standing alone.

That being said, when I come across these, I generally fix every use of "Reverend" without a definite article. When I see "Reverend" abbreviated "Rev." I leave it, because it is a completely correct and very common, especially in the US. When I find an example of "Rev" (no period), I will fix it by adding a "d", simply because it's my preference. There are examples when I did use "Rev.", the best being my contributions to List of Moderators of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA), to which I added almost all the names. Generally, the misuse of "Reverend" without "the" is my biggest pet peeve.

If you are interested, Fowler's Modern English Usage has a good entry on "Reverend". It is considered one of the foremost authorities on the English Language. Here's part of it from the Third Edition (Clerandon Press, Oxford 1996):

Reverend is abbreviated Revd (no point) or, with increasing frequency, Rev. (with point). It means ‘deserving reverence’, as contrasted with reverent ‘feeling or showing reverence’. . . The correct form of address to a member of the clergy is The Revd (or The Rev.) J. Smith (or with Christian name in full). To describe a person as Rev. Smith or to speak of such a person as Reverend Smith or the Reverend is incorrect. It is commonly considered unacceptable to use Revered…with a surname alone (rather than with a forename, initial, other title, or some combination of these) or without preceding ‘the’: thus, the Reverend Joseph Brown, the Reverend J. B. Brown, the Reverend Dr Brown, but not (the) Reverend Brown, and not Reverend as a form of address, either spoken (Hello, Reverend (Brown)) or to begin a letter (Dear Reverend (Dr Brown)). Actual usage is variable, but members of the clergy are quite rightly adamant about the need to keep to the older conventions while recognizing that in our age of receding Christian belief those who break with tradition are usually deeply respectful but quite simply ignorant of protocol.

I hope you're not too sorry you asked!

In Marble Halls

[edit]

I have removed "In Marble Halls" (Roud 20174) from the Roud folk song index, as there is no such number. Presumably you are thinking of the Steeleye Span riddle on "Now We are Six".

Andrew Lammie/Bonnie Lass of Fyvie

[edit]

OK Thanks. I suppose this is one that could be argued either way. It seems certain the two songs have a common root: they both take place in Fyvie; both have a girl who falls in love with a soldier; both (have versions which) include a parting that takes place on a bridge and one of them dying before they meet again. I suppose it can be argued that the variants have diverged to a point where they have become two separate songs; the one in the form of a long, rather dark, ballad and the other a shorter lyrical song with a lighter tone. Anyway, I'll check my facts carefully and take up the argument on the song's talk page, as you suggest. Bluewave 07:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You stated previously we should have something that shows the musical characteristics of Visual kei, which I have been searching for, but recently we had a new user that is popping in with a lot of great sources. I also found some sources using Google Scholar that show that a "genre" is not defined soley by sound, but by lyrics, content, and cultural notions. With the references we have now, I think we have a strong case. Would you come look at the debate once again? Denaar 03:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Electric Folk Task Force

[edit]

Hi Tim, I noticed you're working on this Task force page. I wonder if you wouldn't mind giving me some hints in the correct direction. I haven't created any project/task force pages before, I'd like to put togher a group of editiors here in chicago to improve pages related to the chicago folk scene and chicago artists (specifically ones that attended, instructed or were otherwise involved with the Old Town School of Folk Music). I think the best way to go about it would be to create a Task force page like yours as a staging point for the group as well as to add our contributions to the parent Roots project. Is there a protocol for adding these things or can I just create the Task Force page under the roots project page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dannygutters (talkcontribs) 21:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Tim, I have been editing your article a bit recently, and thought you might want to have a look it. I am confident with what I have changed, but thought you might want to be involved. I think we are approaching the stage of 'good enough for now'.— Kan8eDie (talk) 18:03, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter - April 2009

[edit]

Proposed deletion of Remind

[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Remind, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No sources provided, and only sources I could find on Google are forum topics and blog entries.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

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.

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.

WikiProject Christianity Newsletter - August 2009

[edit]

I have nominated Metaphysical fantasy, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metaphysical fantasy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contactmid me if you're unsure why you received this message. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 16:36, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As per a suggestion from User: Schmidt, who has recommended my article as a "very acceptable stub," I am seeking guidance from folks in the roots community who may be familiar with the genres of music that Dave covers. His Cajun and Bluegrass connections are well documented, but I am writing to you specifically because of your interest in electric folk. Dave called on Mark Mercier of Max Creek, a long-established New England "jam" and "improv" band, to bring an authentique psychadelic/folk rock influence to his writing on many of the tracks on his Plainsongs album. If you have any thoughts on the article, ( the article has been "relisted" ) I would greatfully appreciate your help in mentoring my first Wikipedia article. Thank you for your consideration.Darkloon (talk) 03:39, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

[edit]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:53, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Labiovelar consonant

[edit]

Hi, now that Labiovelar consonant is a disambiguation page, could you help WP:FIXDABLINKS? This topic definitely needs expert attention; I'm not sure those of us at WP:DPL are qualified for this one. This tool helps keep things organized. Thanks, --JaGatalk 17:17, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[
