Cain article

Good work on your Mormonism additions to the Cain article. It's really interesting. I'd heard that folklore about Cain still walking the earth, but never knew where it came from. COGDEN 00:25, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

Linguistics and the BoM

I left you a message on my talk page - however, thought i'd leave it here too - just because a word is in the book of mormon, doesn't mean that Moroni's and then Joseph Smith's translation kept the Adamic words. This is pure speculation. The book of mormon or book of ether never claims that elephant, curelom or Esrom are adamic words, rather it purports to be a translation of 24 plates by moroni (and another translation by smith). Many have speculated that moroni kept those words, as curelom, etc., and that they were new words to smith, but it never states this. Please re-work that section of the article to reflect this is theory and speculation. -Visorstuff 13:07, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Left you another message on my talk page. -Visorstuff 18:38, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Kolob

Please see the talk page for this article. The material you deleted was established after an intense period of negotiation with LDS critical editors and is significantly more moderate than the original. This compromise was rather hard won. I suspect the information will be replaced in the article, so please discuss any future large deletions on the talk page. Thank you. WBardwin 18:28, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for putting the questionable section back -- at least for now. We haven't heard from the more critical editors for quite a while, but they were heavily involved in the article for some time. And, of course, they may come back. The newest section of the talk page is related to the POV tag on the article page, and you may want to join the ongoing discussion there.

Your talk page shows that you are contributing to a number of articles relating to Mormonism. We would be happy to see you join the Latter Day Saint User's group (Wikipedia:WikiProject Latter Day Saint movement. We welcome constructive editors of all religions and points of view. Look forward to working with you. WBardwin 06:27, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Notability of Mr. Marbles

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mr. Marbles, by Lenin and McCarthy (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mr. Marbles seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mr. Marbles, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 02:04, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Pterodactyler! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 939 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Anne Strieber - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Philippe Mora - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
