Your Message on my talk page

Thanks again regarding your concerns on upholding wikipedia policies, you might wanna check out your husband's user page for the same violation.. "Uda Balagena Kela Gahuwoth, it falls on your face" ;-) its suprising that his page is not on your watch list..Mystic 09:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Your husbands user page carries a link to some website, if posting links on wiki is against policies.. you should remove that link.. Shouldn't you Mystic 10:39, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

OIC I didn't know that.. thanks.. "Umbe Ammata Hukanna" Mystic 16:13, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks ...

Thanks, Sophia, for standing up for what is right these last few days. IMHO you are one of the "people of good will" mentioned in the liturgy. I hope you have/had a nice Easter with your loved ones. (self-professed) Str1977 18:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I was on Wikibreak for much of the recent fracas about personnal information, and I appreciate your work in removing it. Thanks, Tom Harrison 21:41, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Tea/Cool head

A cup of tea would be nice, thank you. I try not to respond at all on the article on Homeopathy until I've digested for several days as it gets me too upset. Thanks for adding the tag to the Talk page Doc 16:17, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks. Something stronger is usually needed thoughGleng 21:35, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Double blue trouble

When you get a chance, check Talk:Jesus#No Criticism Allowed and Talk:Jesus-Myth#No Criticism Allowed. Grigory Deepdelver of BrockenboringTCF 11:21, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I removed a link from Talk:Christianity for the same reason. Tom Harrison 00:43, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

From Wikipediareview:

About the contacting employer incident. I don't believe it. I think its fake. The one with Gator, I think was real, as he gave details (a letter), etc., but with KMHO3, I think its a stunt. Why no evidence or details? I'm just wondering the details about who contacted whose work place and in what manner?

You might want to sign on there and tell them what you know. If I try, they probably would not listen to me. Grigory Deepdelver of BrockenboringTCF 08:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Jesus and Jesus-Myth

My only purpose was to make the pages editable again. I don't know what our policy is on deleting the link, so I won't do that; but I've left a note on the admin's noticeboard so that someone else may do so. -- Eugene van der Pijll 00:06, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Do me a favor.

Do me a favor: the Christian cabal (you know, the one that doesn't exist) is going to get me blocked for a while and I'm sure they'll be working extra hard to censor the relevant articles during my enforced absence, so please do your best to make sure WP:POV is enforced. Thanks Alienus 12:30, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Community Justice Voting has Begun!

I see you've registered to vote in the Community Justice elections, and I'm just telling you that now you can vote!

Please cast your vote(s) at Misplaced Pages:Community Justice/Elections/Voting; following instructions provided there.

Thank you,

Computerjoe's talk 12:58, 24 April 2006 (UTC) (current Chairman)

Jesus and Christianity

Well, I just walked from one firestorm to another by commenting on the Christianity page as well as the Jesus page. Not too healthy. I wish there was a way to cure ill tempers but frankly, I am at a loss. Jim62sch has requested protection for the Jesus page, and I wonder if he should look in on the Christianity page as well.

Ill tempers on the Martin Luther page as well, which I have decided not to get involved with despite my religious convictions. This is all getting to be far too much.

There's nothing wrong with a herd, as long as it doesn't stampede. Well, the cattle are spooked. Not a very healthy situationGrigory Deepdelver of BrockenboringTCF 13:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Just so you know...

request for full protection

Robsteadman account

Please check Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Robsteadman and contributions from the Robsteadman account today: Robsteadman (talk · contribs). It appears Rob is trying to defend himself against the recent impersonation, and it's not going well. Also he's got into it with Deskana again. If this is not actually Rob, then something is very seriously wrong. Grigory Deepdelver 20:13, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

He's been temporarily blocked for trolling on my RfA. I try to not be suspicious but I do find it funny that there is a recent surge in activity from his account when someone he doesn't like nominates himself from adminship. --Darth Deskana (talk page) (my RfA!) 20:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Collateral damage. There have been odd things going on lately. Enough for me to flee the Jesus page in mortal terror. Grigory Deepdelver 20:49, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Mortal terror indeed. And the Sith Lords like me are supposed to be the ones doing the terrifying! (Attempting to restore sense of humour :-) ) --Darth Deskana (talk page) (my RfA!) 20:51, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I haven't exactly gone yet.

"Don't go! You are a model wikipedian in difficult circumstances - we need more of your kind not less! Don't take this a suggestion to use sockpuppets! LOL"

I am flattered as usual. However, as someone who was harrassed out of Wartburg College, I just can't stand to see people harrass others, or treat others with suspicion. It's just become too much.

Besides I noticed on CTSWyneken's RfA that high edit count per article ratios are frowned upon. His was about 9, mine is about 12, so what does that mean? I think I need to diversify. Grigory Deepdelver 23:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

I've changed my mind. I'm taking a wikibreak. Thank you for explaining the situation to Doc Glasgow. Yes, I'm freaked out. Grigory Deepdelver 00:26, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

See response on http://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Archola Giovanni33 09:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Short break, but I became frustrated with people at Talk:Jesus either talking past one another, or not recognizing the problem. Anyway, since Gio's been blocked for 3RR, perhaps we could continue the think tank at his talk page? Grigory Deepdelver 18:04, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

WP:AN/I

Hi. I was unaware you had reported me at WP:AN/I. I only found out about it. Contrary to your assertions at the time, I never refused to delete the pages in question. In fact I asked the question "Do I have to delete them?" without getting an answer.

Anyway there is further discussion on the matter here if you are interested. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Frelke (talkcontribs) .

apologies for the lack of a sig Frelke 19:50, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the apologies. I have replied in depth here. Frelke 21:02, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Just because some moistened bink lobbed a scimitar at me..

It seems I have somehow managed to (almost) run out of topics to argue about. Care to join me at the ever popular and completely un-biased Global Warming Talk? My current POV is that the entire concept was cooked up by Al Gore in order to facilitate a presidential platform in 2008. Or perhaps that it is really an aspect of Global Cooling. ^_^ --Coldbourne 23:37, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

Not the grail, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!! I figured it would be much more persuasive in arguments. I did not realize you were a Pastafarian, but a penchant for Pirates is sure to be applauded in most circles. --Coldbourne 05:13, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I am glad that you enjoyed the article. Upon reading it I was immediatly rendered tickled pink, and have remained so much to my chagrin, as black is much more my color. Still it is nothing compared to being able to claim that on your page death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth!!

Talk:Abortion/First_paragraph#Version_5.0

Feedback please. - RoyBoy 04:11, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support on my RfA!

File:Danavecpurpletiger.jpg A belated thank you to you for Supporting my RFA! It passed 54/2/3, much better than I expected! I am still finding my feet as an Administrator, and so far I am enjoying the experience. I am honoured that you felt I was ready to take up this position, and wish to thank you formally! I hope I can live up to your expectations of me. I truly do admire you as a Wikipedian! Thanks ever so much! :-D --Darth Deskana (talk page) --Darth Deskana (talk page) 19:02, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Reverting the sock

Not only okay, but very helpful. Thank you. If you see more of that particular kind of editing in the future, feel free to let an admin know. Jkelly 21:21, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Circumcision advocacy

Could you please keep an eye on Circumcision advocacy? I'm having an odd problem with Jakew reverting over and over again in support of Jayjg, but without the least bit of explanation. I've sent him a polite message but I'm not sure if he'll respond productively. Since I've done my 3 reverts, I would hate to imagine that he would be allowed to succeed in removing text simply on the basis of a technicality. One more reason WP:IAR is a good idea! Anyhow, please take a look and do whatever you think is necessary. Al 19:23, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

While you're at it, take a peek at Mutilation. Al 19:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
On the contrary, Sophia, thank you for making the effort to ensure that the text describes the opinions of others, rather than endorsing a particular point of view. I still think that the article is better off without a detailed discussion of various opinions regarding circumcision, but if it must stay, I'm happy as long as it's presented in a neutral, factual, and verifiable manner.
Incidentally, I removed the mention in the second paragraph, as it's inclusion implied that circumcision is a form of (ritual) mutilation. Jakew 16:12, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Sophia, I would urge you to be very cautious about claims and counterclaims on any article connected to circumcision. Be very cautious about those who want to remove information. Consider the possibility that it may be an attempt at censorship. Michael Glass 02:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

I would also urge you to consider the fact that activists typically cry "censorship" the first time WP:NOR is enforced on their pet articles. Jayjg 02:33, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Alienus block

It is already being discussed on his Talk: page, isn't it? Do you think it needs to be discussed somewhere else as well? Jayjg 02:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
