Semiprotect and Drogo on entombment

I requested semi-protect. Sorry, dude, I got a bit tied up today. Is Drogo intentionally WP:Dense? I just saw the Middle English stuff on his talk page -- is he aware that the Bible first showed up in England around the 7th century and was translated into Old English (Anglo-Saxon)? Is he aware that the other versions (spellings) in other western European languages are based on the Latin version? Is he aware the the Greek spelling is the best that could be done as Greek had no "sh" sound? (the Sampi which represented the "sh" sound had disappeared from Greek in the 6th century BCE -- that's why the Copts added the Shai (see Coptic alphabet)). Nah, I guess not. •Jim62sch• 13:22, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

It's WP:DENSE and redirects here. BTW, now he's on about the picture -- Jesus looks cross-eyed, it's not a good pic, etc. Maybe he should be asked to write a Jesus article in his own image (and in his own space). BTW, I found it humourous that you used "Dude" to start off a comment on his page. I though I was the only editor who still used that.  ;) •Jim62sch• 13:52, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, Dude, we talk too much on the Jesus page...although given that he was a rabbi (of sorts) that might be applicable. I was thinking of Cross-Eyed Mary by Jethro Tull.  ;) •Jim62sch• 14:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Caveat Grigor

I warned you about Codex.  :) •Jim62sch• 01:45, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

That you did, that you did. Actually, Codex agreed once we explained the sedition thing in the Jesus article. Or, were you talking about something else?

Desposyni

Re your kind comments on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jesus I've done some work on the Desposyni that you might wish to take a look at. Cheers! Fergananim 22:38, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Jesus subpages

The pages Jesus/Cited Authors Bios and Jesus/Cited Authors Bios have shown up on User:Bluemoose/Uncategorised good articles a list of uncategorized articles. It is against wikipedia policy to have subpages in the main article space, so could you remove it or copy it to a subpage of you user page? (I don't recommend moving it because that will leave a redirect to user space which is also against policy). --JeffW 02:29, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I'll take care of it, but why list the same subpage twice? Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver}

The other subpage was supposed to be Jesus/2nd Paragraph Debate, sorry about that. --JeffW 03:18, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Somebody Put the Cited Authors Bio page up for speedy delete

What is going on here? I thought this tool was very useful for us. Why on earth is it against the rules and where does it say so? --CTSWyneken 03:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

But I thought it was a subpage of the talk page. --CTSWyneken 03:13, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Subpages says that subpages of Talk pages are only allowed for archiving talk pages. And I don't know anything about the speedy delete. --JeffW 03:28, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

I believe the speedy delete was added because you blanked the page, which is a signal that you don't want the page anymore and it should be deleted. It's kind of funny that when you blanked the other page the bot figured it was vandalism instead. --JeffW 03:42, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, in the future its likely best to put a speedy delete tag (db) on it, makes it easier for the bot to figure it out -- Tawker 06:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Jesus AID

I thought that these users were either inactive or no longer users, hence the colour of their names. Is this incorrect? Apologies if i've caused any inconvenience. Skaterblo

help with Cultural and historical background of Jesus

I ask you, as a colleague, friend, and as a Christian, to help me here [1]. Please review the recent edit history of the article. I did not think that using BCE and CE would be offensive to Christians, and the fact is the article has used these twerms for years. Moreove, I didn't think identifying the article as relevant to Jewish articles would be offensive to Christians. I appreciate your help, Slrubenstein | Talk 13:35, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Codex Sinaiticus has angered me, something I regret. But he has accused me of suppressing Christianity, which deeply offends me. Do you share this view? I as you honstly and as someone I consider a friend. Would you mind commenting here [2]? Thanks, Slrubenstein | Talk 15:59, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I set out my own views, but I think John Kenney and FT2 represent most clearly two opposing approaches to the article. Do you agree with John, FT2, or see a third possibility? I think we need to sketch out basic options and then try to get a consensus. You should register your view here [3]. Slrubenstein | Talk 12:57, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Jesus

Thanks for helping to improve the Jesus article.

I recently found that the Jesus article on Wikipedia is the first item that comes up when you search for "Jesus" on the world’s most widely used search engine, Google.

Please edit the Jesus article to make it an accurate and excellent representation of Him.

The Jesus article may be a person’s first impression of Jesus. It would be nice if their first impression was from a Christian or the Bible, but for so many in these new days it probably comes from the Internet. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thanks a lot.

Also, watch out to follow Wikipedia's Policies and guidelines. It is especially hard for the Three-revert rule and the Neutral point of view policy to be followed because of the nature of the article, but please follow these policies along with citing sources so that the article does not get locked from editing and can't be improved further. Thanks again. Scifiintel 17:04, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Welcome back yourself ;) Arch O. La ^{Grigory Deepdelver} 16:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
