Your message

  1. Please sign messages on Talk pages.
  2. I have no idea why you felt it necessary to adopt such an unpleasant hostile tone, but I suggest that you read Misplaced Pages:Civility and Misplaced Pages:Assume good faith.
  3. I didn't say that that the sentence was upsetting, nor that its contents were unfamiliar or that I disagreed with them. I said that it was obscure; it was poorly written. I've no doubt that you knew what you meant by it, but clear writing requires that your meaning is communicated to others. "In many Christian denominations and some others" is unclear; what you meant, as your sarcastic little explanation showed, was something like: "In many denominations of Christianity, and of some other religions".
  4. When editing an article on Misplaced Pages there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

    Edit summary text box

    The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

    When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Ardenn 17:44, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove messages from your talk page. Talk pages exist as a record of communication, and in any case, comments are available through the page history.
