If you're into Christian history, check out the Jesus page. There has been a great deal of cotnroversy over, mostly, on editor's arguments that Jesus didn't exist and that this view should be included in the article. Feel free to stop by the talk page and register your opinion/vote. See yah!Gator (talk) 21:11, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

my change to kp villians page.

I changed External Links to External links ... how it's supposed to be in the manual of style. I also made your link the first item of a possible future list ... I thought it might be of interest and did not remove it. You want to talk to Erased Paper. -- ProveIt 16:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

James Bray Deletion

Usually I'd just keep applying it until he stopped taking it down, but it is really irrelevant; it's posted on the AfD page, so if a consensus is reached, it goes. Thanks for your concern though. Bobby1011 17:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

policy

The place to discuss policy changes would be Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy). However, disallowing anonymous IP editing has been proposed many times before and so far has never been accepted. -- Curps 22:12, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Template substitution

Thank you for reverting vandalism, and thank you even more for leaving a warning template. But just so you know, there are some templates that should be substituted. Substitution adds the template as text, just as if you had typed the whole thing in yourself, instead of loading the template every time the page is viewed. This keeps the server from having to work as hard, and keeps the original message intact if the template is ever changed or vandalized. Some templates require substitition, and some templates will not work if substituted. Usertalk templates should always be substituted. Keep up the good work! -Mulder416 20:08, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

When you enter a template without substituting, wikipedia will load that template every time the page is viewed. Templates are treated like any other page, except that they are in the template namespace, which just means the page name begins with "Template:". (Example) If someone were to change or vandalize that template's page in the future, the change would be displayed on any page that uses that particular template. When you substitute, wikipedia will permanently add the current version of the code/text for the template you want to place on that page. Both will appear on the page exactly the same, the only difference is in how wikipedia treats it internally. -Mulder416 21:30, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Cooley Talk

• If you look at the history, or even the comment he put up on the page after I removed his sockpuppetry comment you will see that he saw the changes I made and decided not to reinsert the socpuppetry comments. Thus, you are wrong -- the user was on and had the chance to object. Also, I notice from lookign at your contributions that you are pretty enthusastic about reverting "vandalism". This is great -- so thank you! But please be careful to not let your enthusiasm for reverting vandalism cause you to see vandalism in edits that are actually good faith.

Patrol

Thanks for watching and fixing vandal changes. It is appreciated.67.167.238.236 01:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Friendly note

Thanks for the comments you sent to me the other day as 67.167.238.236 & I see your account suggestion is wise, such as now, when my IP changes or I travel. Noted my typo correction of "teacher" on your user page bumped up your vandal counter. My mistake & should have just mentioned it in my earlier note. Time wise for now, more or less, I have to be more of a reader than editor of info but, yes, I can think of a couple of subjects where I'd enjoy joining a group project at some point. Good luck with your editing and studies.71.194.238.184 08:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars

I know that Lucas has always been a Star Trek fan, but I've never heard that he was inspired by it. It's never been mentioned, as far as I know, in any documentaries or books about Lucas' work. I'll revert unless anyone has any objections. The Wookieepedian 23:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Well, I've already reverted his/her edits, but if they can give a source, they can reinstate their edits. The Wookieepedian 00:28, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

re: George Washington

I'll keep an eye on the article and apply semi-protection if the heavy vandalism begins again. If you notice the article being heavily vandalized and I'm not around, post a message on Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection and/or contact an active admin. Thanks. —Wayward 04:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Civil War

Howdy Steve.

I've banned the anon user, as it was almost all vandalism. Being that you likely know more about the Civil War then I do, I'll leave up to you if you think his external link should be placed with the others. Oberiko 15:55, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - March 2006
Project news An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page. The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain. Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created. An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway. The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.	From the Coordinators Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in. Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months. Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

WikiProject Missouri

Dear Christian Historybuff, I am beginning the process to create a wikiproject for Missouri. in order to do so i'm required to show that there is a base of at least 5-10 people who would be interested in contributing to such a project. the project would serve to aid in the creation and editing of articles related to the U.S. State Missouri, its cities, counties, geography, transportation, culture, history, education, and so on. It aims to expand Misplaced Pages's resources on Missouri in a fair and accurate manner. Since you're stated as being a wikipedian in missouri, i wanted to see if you were interested. if you are, please add your username at Misplaced Pages:Wikiproject/List_of_proposed_projects#Missouri and User:Preschooler.at.heart/Missouri. thanks for your consideration. --preschooler.at.heart my talk - contribs 15:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Military history

Hi, Christian Historybuff. I would love to join the WikiProject Military history. You just need to tell me how. (Please respond here.) / / Brendenhull (talk • contribs) | 13:34, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

James Madison

Hi, Steve. Thanks for the note. Those edits from that particular IP seemed superfluous and questionable. Not to mention there were no edit summaries. Anyway, I reverted them and dropped a note on the user's talk page. I've also added James Madison to my watchlist. Cheers. PJM 19:56, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Axis Powers

I've made a couple of changes but I am no expert in this. It's usually just vandalism reverting. Based on the edits though and the lack of warnings on the users talk page I suspect that the edits are in good faith but it's possible there may be some POV, but I could be wrong even to that. Cheers.

Re: Battle of Kettle Creek

Fixed! (It needed a <references/> tag at the end to flush out all of them. You may want to check if there's any duplication of links between the footnotes and the "Sources" section, since I didn't check for that.) Looks to be a very nice article! Kirill Lokshin 17:04, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh, definitely; you can remove the stub tags if you want. Kirill Lokshin 17:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

DUDE

I had a spell of assholism there. Sorry about that. --62.255.232.76 15:17, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Gary Friedrich

Always cool to see somebody reads some of the stuff I write! Friedrich's Marvel Comics guru, one-time editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, is also from Missouri, if you wanted to add a tag for that there as well. I would've, but I don't know the Missouri Project and didn;t want to presume. Yours in Wiki-ing, -- Tenebrae 02:38, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Though it's a bit on the cheasy side, it was a pretty good video. Thanks for the link, BTW. The Wookieepedian 05:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed you've made edits to St. Louis articles or that you are in some way connected to metropolitan area. I thought you might want to become a member of the St. Louis WikiProject. We've recently built the project page and started a drive to improve St. Louis related articles. Please take a look to edit an article or add one of your own. Once an article's status has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate!
