Orphaned non-free media (File:Limkokwing University of Creative Technology corporate logo.png)

Thanks for uploading File:Limkokwing University of Creative Technology corporate logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Teluk Intan

Hi, what exactly are you complaining about, following my copy edits to Teluk Intan? - Fayenatic (talk) 12:00, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Civility

Can we keep the tone between us more civil? I don't think your latest comment on my user talk page was constructive. I freely admit that I have been testy on WP too and will work to improve. Monkeyassault (talk) 03:33, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Mar Thoma Church

I found your comments on this article to be quite constructive. I don't recall your edits before, but we do need a certain amount of detachment on Indian Christianity issues, which is sometimes lacking. Quantity of editors does help sometimes. Hope to see you around these pages! Thanks! Student7 (talk) 01:33, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

I guess you may be right on dealing with the disruptive editor first. I think the rest of us can arrive at some agreeable conclusion. Student7 (talk) 00:44, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Indonesian universities

The Indonesian project usually does not welcome such lists - it is usually bait to red link list addicts - however you have obviously put quite a bit of time into it, so in AGF well done - but project wise oh dear - having lists with lots of red links goes against practtice in the project - links to existing articles is what most lists have been reduced to to prevent fraudentlent/hoax identifications by enthusiastic vandalsSatu Suro 23:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

I would not want to disparage you - but we have had a few years of lists in the project (shopping centres, schools) which are basically nightmares - but the very good structure which you have created reduces the risks we had envisaged in the past - so thanks for that! At least there is a now a template which is hard to play with - a small problem for some is the WP:Not#List - is the links in the right hand column - however - I am sure the positive part of this will benefit the project in the end! cheers Satu Suro 00:06, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello!

Let's talk about the recent defections. Too me it seems way, way too newsy. I think we need something more like what would be in a printed encyclopedia. The slant towards current events is not really healthy for a biography and neither is excessive detail. If we filled it with everything like these defections and other scandals and what everyone says about these things we will have a huge monstrosity on our hands. A reader would walk away with a bunch of random facts from the newspaper about the subject rather than the story of their life. Monkeyassault (talk) 20:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately when it comes to the lives of public personalities, and when it is related to their office, then I believe that there is relevance and rationale for inclusion in the article. - Bob K | Talk 23:34, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Evolution of the University of Malaya.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Evolution of the University of Malaya.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk 17:23, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Orang Asli

I understand that the Orang Asli technically only covers Peninsula Malaysia, but the problem is that currently Orang Asal is just a redirect to Orang Asli. Would it be better to maybe turn Orang Asal into a redirect? Chipmunkdavis (talk) 07:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Isn't it already a redirect? I would prefer to see Orang Asal as a full article, maybe along the lines of Indigenous peoples of the Americas. - Bob K | Talk 06:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Right, I'll start that later then. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 06:58, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Started here, any comments? Trying to keep it general, not going too in depth on the Orang Asli or the Dayaks etc. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 15:00, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply. Been very busy at work. Looks good as a start up article. We can add in details later. - Bob K | Talk 16:00, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Orang Asal no longer a bad redirect! Thanks. Chipmunkdavis (talk) 11:24, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey there

Hi there! I'm still keeping an eye on that article (don't want to link to it here), but I don't intend to respond any further to them. Hopefully they'll get bored of being ignored and go play somewhere else. I'll protect as a last resort. Ged UK 22:18, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Very well. I suspect its not more than 2 individuals, and highly probable that its just one. The similar and consistent spelling errors seem to suggest that. - Bob K | Talk 04:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I suspect you're right. I need to find some time to study their IPs to see if blocks are likely to be effective, but ignoring them will prbably be easier for now. Ged UK 10:20, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Association for Theological Education in South East Asia

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Association for Theological Education in South East Asia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Replaceable fair use File:Bishop Bolly Lapok.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bishop Bolly Lapok.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 17:15, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Ichthus: May 2012

ICHTHUS

May 2012

From the Editor

This month marks the observation of Pentecost, one of the most important feast of the Christian liturgical year. It is our hope here that all of you, regardless of your religious affiliation (if any), find that the holiday, and its accompanying activities, an enjoyable and beneficial experience. We also hope that this "Birthday of the Church" is one which gives you the same joy as the birthday of yourself or your loved ones.

Ichthus is the successor to the long running WikiProject Christianity newsletter, run under the WikiProject Christianity’s Outreach department. As such, you will continue to see information about our latest featured and good articles, DYKs, as well as new members who have joined our project. You might also see links to Christianity related news from the mainstream media!

With that, I wish you all happy reading!

John Carter, Asst. Editor

Help Bring Wikipe-tan "into the fold"

As many of you may know, our unofficial mascot, dear Wikipe-tan, hasn't yet indicated any particular beliefs. However, yes, as we all know, ahem, some people might object to our beloved mascot running around in a French maid outfit. People do talk, you know. ;) If anyone might be able to develop an image of the dear lady in a image more, well, "Christian," I would like to see perhaps a vote for next month as to which, if any, image of the dear girl we might make our own unofficial mascot. Please post your images here.

Christianity in other wikis

As many of you might now, there are a large number of other Wikimedia Foundation projects, including WikiSource, Wiktionary, Wikibooks, WikiQuote, and others. I certainly believe that Wikibooks and Wikiquote might be among the more directly relevant sister projects. If any of you can think of any particular efforts in these other projects which you think would benefit from more input, please let us know here, so we can help spread the word around.

By John Carter

Spotlight on the Outreach department

Ichthus will spotlight a different subproject or workgroup of WikiProject Christianity. This edition will spotlight on our vital Outreach department. This comparatively small, but vital, project unit is dedicated to welcoming new editors to Wikipedia and the Christianity related content, and to providing information to the various project members, in forms like this newsletter.

The scope of articles with which this group deals is truly enormous, and, given the wide variety of material with which we deal, we would very much welcome the input of more individuals, particularly individuals who are particularly knowledgeable of the less well-known and less frequently monitored articles related to Christianity.

Speaking personally, I would be very, very gratified if we were to have this become a very, very large and active unit, with members from the broad spectrum of Christian beliefs, practices, and groups. The broader the spectrum and areas of expertise of members we have, the better we will be able to help manage the content. Please consider whether you believe you might be able to contribute in this vital area.

DYK

...that Anna of Kashin, a Russian medieval princess, was twice canonized as a holy protectress of women who suffer the loss of relatives?

Calendar

Thie coming month includes days dedicated to the honor of Beheading of John the Baptist, Saints Peter and Paul, the Nativity of John the Baptist, and Saint Barnabas.

Featured content and GA report

Alec Douglas-Home recently achieved FA status. This picture, in the Church of the Month section, was recently promoted to Featured Picture status. Our thanks and congratulations to all those involved.

Wikimedia Foundation report

Wikisource currently has many old texts available, most of them in the public domain. This is a potentially very valuable source for several things, including for instance links to Biblical verses, because we know that it will, basically, be around as long as we are.

Spotlight

A new WikiProject relating directly to Christian history is being developed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christian history. Also, a group specifically devoted to the Mennonites and other Anabaptists is now up and running at Wikipedia:WikiProject Christianity/Anabaptist work group. Anyone interested in assisting with the development of these groups and topics is more than welcome to do so.

I believe

... in the statements contained in the Nicene Creed. I believe that the Bible is one of the two defining bases for belief. The other is the Sacred tradition, which provides us with means of interpreting the Scriptures, as well as some teachings which have been handed on by God outside of the scriptures. I believe that the Magisterium has been empowered to fill this interpretative function. I believe that clerical celibacy is a rule that should generally be followed. I am a member of the Catholic Church.
