	== Thanks for joining the project! ==

	Thank you for having joined the ]! It is basically only a recently reformed group, and, as you probably could tell from the project page, and there is still a lot that needs to be done. Any help you might be able to give in any area of the project would be more than welcome. I noticed in particular that you expressed interest in the Paganism, Neopaganism, and some of the traditions of the African Diaspora and the First Nations. You have no idea how happy I am to see that! Our aims are to improve and maintain the articles relating to religion which do not fall within the scope of any of the other projects, as well as to potentially create new task forces or other projects to deal specifically with those other faiths. There are several articles which relate to one or more of these traditions which do not fall within the specific focus of any other projects, and we are more than grateful to have anyone who is knowledgable about those subjects. I have just now begun to catalogue all the relevant articles, and am finding that there is a '''huge''' number of articles which deal with religion subjects in general, without any particular focus on any specific religions. Any contributions you might be able to make on these articles, or any other articles that might interest you, would be more than welcome. Also, as indicated on the project page, we are hoping to create dedicated subprojects dealing with any faiths which have enough members to support one, and I hope that we may well have enough members interested in some of your interests to create subprojects or stand-alone projects dealing with them. If you should ever have any questions, or wish any sort of assistance, please do not hesitate to let me or the other members of the project know. Happy editing, and thanks again for joining the project! ] 14:36, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

	== Admin jobs ==

	Hi Kathryn!

	Please accept my apologies for the very much delayed reply to your message (I'm a bit unwell and have been on something of an on-again-off-again Wikibreak).

	Yes, non-admins can contribute to ] discussions.

	In fact, I'm a big believer in the idea that non-admins should do - and be encouraged to do - any task on Misplaced Pages that doesn't require the couple of extra buttons that being an admin gives you. Adminship is really no big deal - it's two extra options (protect and delete) and one extra function (block). That's all it comes down to.

	Anything you see on Misplaced Pages - literally anything - that doesn't require the pushing of one of those buttons is something that everybody on Misplaced Pages should be doing. So discuss away on ], close obvious "keeps" at the end of their time on ], voice your opinions wherever an opportunity presents, and "act like an admin should" whenever you have reason to.

	You'll just be benefitting Misplaced Pages by doing so. Happy editing! ]<b><font color="red">]</font></b> 20:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

	One quote from one outsider from a culture hostile to the celts (Greek) does not qualify as proof of the alleged "historical" nature of Celtic pederasty. In all the volumes of celtic mythology which survive, there are no references to this practice, unlike the reams of evidence from Greece, Rome, or among the Samurai of Japan for example. You are entitled to your opinions, beliefs, and political agendas, but please don't put your beliefs into an historical article as if they were facts. It is a fact that Athenaeus made the comment that he made, it is not by any means a fact that this means his comment was accurate or that this was the reality among the Celts.

	:Hi, Bob. I did not originate nor invent the section you are objecting to. I personally have no opinion on the matter, and would prefer to believe that my ancestors only had relationships among consenting adults. I think we need to do a linguistic comparison of what words were used for "boy" vs "man" and what age range we're talking about. I think the reason people bring up the Roman pederasty thing is that some have assumed the various Roman writers were insulting the Celts with those sorts of statements, whereas if we understand that the Romans had homosexuality as an accepted part of their culture, there would be no reason to interpret the report as an insult. I think it is fair to report that historical account. I also think my reversion of your removal of an established part of the article is in accord with the consensus of the group who have been working on the article. A suggestion? I believe things will go better for you if you refrain from edit summaries that accuse people of having "a pedophile agenda."

			==Happy Adminship Anniversary!==
	I'm not accusing any individual specifically of having an agenda, but I do suspect that someone somewhere does have an agenda on this particular issue as it seems to get a heavy emphasis and considerable spin in many Misplaced Pages pages. It is not something I have a particular interest in, but I notice it frequently and in odd contexts. For example, the entire paragraph on family life in this Celtic article is about Pederasty. I don't see how this could possibly represent the principle nature of family life in any culture regardless of whether it was practiced. Maybe a big part of a military brotherhood or of educational practices for example. But family life is principally organized around child rearing as i understand it.

	I think the extrapolation was the problem, not the quote. I have attempted to balance it, hopefully you will agree with my reorganization. I'm going to do further research on the subject as well. As for the Romans, as I pointed out in the talk page on the Celts, while a common practice among them Pederasty was also used as the basis of slander, perhaps most famously against Julius Caesar, and also against Tiberius. Many Roman writers complained of the Greek practice of pederasty of students sent to study with them. Read the Misplaced Pages page on Caesar to cite one example of this practice used as political slander.

	Bottom line though is, again as I stated, I find it unlikely that this would be a widespread practice if there is no evidence of it in the literature of the Celts (at least that I know of), and also every society I know of where it was practiced widely were societies in which women were repressed, tightly controlled, and had a second class status to men, as with the Greeks, Samurai subculture in Japan, or in some Islamic contexts. I don't think this was the case with the Celts.

	I'm interested in what the Celts were really like, if they indeed practiced pederasty than I want to know that, but I felt and still feel that the claim which was made was in fact placed there as part of an agenda which has more to do with modern politics than with ancient history.

	] 15:22, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

	:Hi, Bob. I'll take a look at the changes you made. I agree that the paragraph as it stood yesterday definitely placed undue weight on theories of homosexuality among the Celts. While I don't want the theories deleted, the section must be expanded to be fair. While there are other tales about homosexuality among the Celts (a Middle Irish story about a lesbian relationship, for instance, which is treated as neither unusual or shameful in the text; I'll dig it up if we want it), I think then, just as now, that those who identified as exclusively homosexual were definitely in the minority and this should be reflected in the article.

	:I am a bit confused about what time frame we're covering with that article. If we're just focusing on the Gauls, which some editors seem to have done, the statement that we have limited knowledge of Celtic family life is sort of true. But if we're including a later time period, there's a very significant amount known about early Irish family life. We can look to the Brehon laws, for instance. It is true that, in comparison to other patriarchal cultures of the time, women had a better lot in Ireland than in most other places; but life wasn't great for them. It's a brutal book, and I don't agree with everything in it, by any means, but Lisa Bitel's ''Land of Women'' is a pretty intense examination of Irish women's situation historically. <font face="Georgia">] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>]</font> 21:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

	== Pronunciation ==

	This is related more to your non-Misplaced Pages expertise, but do you know correct pronunciations for "Taranis" and "Eochaid Ollathair?" I know "Taranis" should be "Tha-ra-nish," but is the "i" pronounced "eye" or "ee," and on which syllable does the emphasis come?

	As for "Eochaid Ollathair," (spelling varies, of course), I believe the second part would be something like "oh-la-heer," but the first? I'm at a loss.

	If you could help, I'd appreciate it. I don't have anyone convenient that I can ask who'd be likely to know with any kind of reliability; you're the closest thing to an expert that I "know."

	Thanks,

	:Hey Sept, sorry for the delayed response. I got busy, and then I wanted to double-check with someone who has better Irish, and who can render the pronunciations in IPA. I can generally hazard Ulster Gaeilge pronunciations, as they're not too far off from the Gàidhlig, but I'm still getting up to speed with the IPA.

	:What we know of Gaulish is largely reconstructed, and pronunciation is open to debate, so your guess with Taranis is probably close enough. I've also heard it pronounced with the hard "T". I'd say the "i" would be either an "ih" or an "ee" sound. There's a YahooGroup for reconstructed Gaulish, I think it's called CelticConLang.

	:In the Goidelic languages, accent is almost always on the first syllable of words. From ]], with whom I double-checked this: "''Eochaid'' was something like {{IPA\|}} in Old Irish and would be spelled ''Eochaidh'' and pronounced {{IPA\|}} in Modern Irish. ... ''Ollathair'' in IPA: Old Irish {{IPA\|}}, Modern {{IPA\|}}."

	::Butting in: Wasn't ''Taranis'' always rendered in Latin or Greek anyway (presumably translated from some Galli-Belgæc dialect)? So if the Romans were transcribing it by sound (presuming that is what they were doing) it would be pronounced with a T not an 'Th'. If the name derives from Proto Indo-European as Grimm suggests, it would definitely be a T and the terminal -is would be pronounced like a ''-uz''. - ] 20:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

	==Copyeditor's barnstar==
	Thanks for raising this with me, I have a few thoughts:
	# I dunno how publicised this proposal has been. I know ] makes it a little difficult to know how best to do this, but I think a neutrally worded note about the barnstar proposal at ] explaining why the barnstar is proposed and why it is different from the "Editor's Barnstar" would be acceptable.
	# Consensus needed. This has always been a vague area. I think two weeks of discussion usually has to occur and there has to be a strong concensus in favour. 17+ support with negligable oppposition definitely meets that hurdle. I guess its just a question of when the clock starts ticking given the premature close last time. To be safe, give it another 6 days. Particularly concensus is needed as to which version of the award is prefered.
	# Evrik has no special authority over the awards proposals page much as he seems to imply it. His actions there should be considered the same as any other editor. Anyone can at the end of the debate close the discussion and pronounce on concensus.
	# I do have a small suggestion- as well as spelling, punctuation and grammar, could fixing Wikilinks also be included. I know its an activity peculiar to this encyclopedia but its usually something I do at the same time as fix the other things (and further distinguishes this award from the "Editor's Barnstar". As I see it this proposed barnstar is about positive improvements that do not change the text, the "Editor's Barnstar" is about removing content in a positive manner.
	# Image. You're probably tired of producing new versions of this, but there a slightly different format I'd like to see tried out. What I have in mind looks like (2). But the quill and broom are flattened (i.e. the shape they take in (1) ). Then instead of crossing over in the middle of the Barnstar, they do so over it, so that they are in line with the near horizontal line created by the most left and right points. If you can bear to give that a try (and understand what I mean) I'd be grateful.
	Hope that helps. I am unhappy with Evrik's behaviour in the matter and intend to look into it further. <span style="font-family: Verdana">]]</span> 10:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

	:Excellent points, thank you! I'm not sure I'm seeing what you mean... ok, keeping the same angle between the quill and broom, but moving them up... how high? and reducing them in size?

	Evrik has a pathological hatred of new barnstars - he'll oppose them even when to make them a WPA is blatently stupid. The reason he gets away with it is because everyone assumes that someone else will promote or archive the discussion, and that someone is generally him. So, if he doesn't want to create a barnstar, the discussion will just sit there for months while everyone is waiting for someone else to promote, and then be archived for "lack of consensus". You clearly have buckets of support and your listing time has run out twice. Evrik, ultimately, has no binding power over the barnstar process, so if you just promote it yourself he can't actually stop you (as he found out with the LGBT Barnstar, which he and southphilly tried to delist on the basis that 72% support and two weeks was "forced through without a lot of support", which ended humiliatingly in an 85% reaffirmation in four weeks).

	::::Quite clearly, the section of the template was specifically compiled for ], and then a user Calgali, inserted Scottish Mythology into that section.

	::::: There's absolutely no need to adopt that tone, thank you. Try to discuss the matter civilly, without patronising phrases like "silly" and "my dear", ok? I also have plenty of reading material, thanks all the same. The template in question, {{tl\|Celtic mythology}} is, after all about 'Celtic' mythoology and Scotland would largely fall under that remit. Right now, they're being grouped in ethnic sub-divisions (Goidelic/Brythonic) and that seems entirely appropriate. Furthermore, there's intense cross-pollination between Scottish mythology and Irish, notably around the Ulster Cycle. So what exactly is the problem here? - ]<sup><font color="re">]</font></sup> 18:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

	== Dev ==

	Im probably getting out of hand myself but Dev is growing increasingly hard to work with and i cant deal with it. You seem to be on good grounds. Do you think you could help mediate this? Im trying to make this work for everyone. {{unsigned\|Thuglas}}

	:I also want it to work for everyone, and I think it can, given some time, and assuming people can calm down a bit and keep things in perspective. I think one of the problems is we have a very small group in the WikiProject. So when people start butting heads, there's not enough perspective; there's too much interpersonal history and not enough objectivity. I think it's crucial to get more people involved in the WikiProject, for a start, so we have more eyes on these issues. I am willing to talk to Dev, but honestly, I don't know him (him?) any better than I know you or Evrik or anyone else in the project. I'll see what I can do, but if there's an impasse this may require someone who is completely unconnected to any past disagreements among project members. <font face="Georgia">] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>]</font> 01:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

	==WPA Coordinator==
	Personally, I don't care that you don't want me as the coordinator, really. It's a thankless role. What I care more about is the wikiproject being hijacked. Your removal of the coordinator section is disruptive.

	Put it up for a vote to those people who were members of the wikiproject (and the braintrust) as of 12:01 am today - and give them a week to vote. I'll abide by the consensus of the group. --] <sup>(])</sup> 03:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

	:A look at the talk page shows there was never even consensus on whether a coordinator was appropriate or desired. It looks to me like folks want it to function collectively, like the rest of Misplaced Pages. Seriously, I think it's bad form for you to keep putting your name on the page as coordinator when there is no consensus for you to do so, and while serious objections are being made to you taking on that role. You have also done some good work, I'm not denying that, but I really think things will go better for you if you could step back and listen to what people are saying instead of insisting you're the coordinator or that wider participation means the project is being "hijacked". The project desperately needs a broader base of input. I personally think you've taken on a lot and are stressed out. You've been tending to bite people, make abrupt decisions without consensus, and have been displaying ] issues. I don't think that is good for you or the project. <font face="Georgia">] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>]</font> 03:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

	I didn't place my name as the coordinator, that was . The serious objections were made after the fact by people who had nothing to do with the project prior to a couple of days ago. I agree that the "project desperately needs a broader base of input," and have said so all along. I had to laugh when you said i've been 'biting people' or making decsions without consensus - as that what both you and Dev920 have been doing. In any case, if you don't like what i've been doing - take it to a vote. You keep make a lot of inaccurate statements and i hope that you start srking some of the falsehods.--] <sup>(])</sup> 04:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

	:Multiple editors have removed your name as coordinator and replaced the whole "coordinator" section with text to the effect that the project welcomes new members, who should feel free to sign up. As long as you keep reverting those edits, and removing the text that says new members are welcome, ill will is going to continue to spiral around the project. You are seriously driving people away, trying to ] the project, then complaining when you wind up with a huge workload, then complaining that your work isn't appreciated. Not good. Also, please discuss changes to the page on the talk page not on the page of one or two project members. I seriously think you need to make a better effort at understanding this whole collective/consensus thing. <font face="Georgia">] ]<font color="navy">♦</font>]</font> 04:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
