Answering Christianity

Hi! I added this link because this is one of my favorite religious websites and I felt that it contains a lot of interesting materials. Some of its contents may be indeed offensive to Christians, but its goal is to spread the Truth. This link doesn't contradict the NPOV rules because there are many links to Christian websites in the same article (such as the Catholic Encyclopedia).Aminullah 20:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Schools selection

I have a quick question - how are articles selected? Are they all featured articles, or are there some good articles? The reason I ask is that looking at, for example, the television section, I notice that nearly 2/3rds of the articles there are sci-fi series. Perhaps a future release should have some editorial oversight, selecting a few good articles that haven't reached featured status but would balance coverage somewhat?

And, of course, to your original question, if you'd be willing to start a write-up, that'd be great; if you can get it submitted to me on Friday or Saturday, we could probably add to it, compare versions, etc. Otherwise, we'd be happy to write the whole article; whatever works best for you is fine with me. Ral315 » 04:24, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I don't really count words. Check this story for an average-length article, but we've had much shorter articles as well as longer articles; it's not a problem. On the TV thing, as long as you've excerpted featured and good, then it'd seem that it's just a matter of systemic bias on Misplaced Pages television articles; not a problem with you, really.

Help request

Hi, Could you please help me in filing arbitration case about Including Muhammad Pictures Against wiki-policies? I have no experience in this regard and wish someone neutral files it. Furthermore, can you please edit the article to remove most obvious mistakes? Looking forward for your reply. --- A. L. M. 04:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

In principle I am happy to help (and even flattered that you regard me as neutral) but the next few days are very busy and also it will take me a little while to understand a topic which is new to me. Is there a big rush? --BozMo talk 08:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. No rush. Looking forward for your support in few days :) --- A. L. M. 20:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

workforall spammer

Thanks for watching over my talk page. I saw you deleted the latest rant from the workforall spammer.

I suppose that he/she will likely return -- I suggest just leaving future rants on my talk page in place (other than deleting something like a bogus vandalism warning). I'm finding that sometimes it works better just to let a spammer have the last word if the encyclopedia otherwise is getting its way (i.e., no more links). I'm coming to view those sorts of comments almost as stamps in my passport. Perhaps this guy will just wind down. Otherwise, I'll archive the page June 1 and he can start over.

In the meantime, he's really doing himself a disservice; see this discussion that Jehochman and I had about the jam this guy is working his way into. Do Google searches on workforall (#6), workforall.org (#3), and workforall.net (#3) and you'll see what I mean. Between that and the fire-parrot, this is shaping up to be bizarre. --A.
