Speedy deletion nomination of Acts 29 Network

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Acts 29 Network, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. GregJackP Boomer! 00:19, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

List of dates predicted for apocalyptic events

Good day. Tomorrow morning my employer is sending me to a somewhat remote location until February 17. During this time I will have a little or no internet access. There's a possibility I may be able to edit wikipedia for maybe half an hour, two or three times a week at most, but it is a distinct possibility that I won't have any computer access at all during this time. Normally I don't tell anyone when I get sent on errands like this (normally because nobody notices I'm gone, lol) but our Jehovah's Witness friend, with his well meaning but obvious conflict of interest attitude, is still not entirely satisfied with the JW predictions in the article. He is now proposing removing the 1918 prediction that we agreed upon, and rewording the 1975 prediction in a manner which I believe skews far more in favour of JW's than a neutral article should. I just thought I'd ask you to keep an extra lookout on the page as I will most likely not be watching it. Cheers. Freikorp (talk) 01:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I have removed the recent info added to this page because of truth being distorted. In no way does the info listed reflect who Louie Giglio is or what he stands for.

Entombment of Christ

Thanks for your edits (I should say, thanks for your interest - it's nice to know that someone is reading). I sourced these edits to McGrath, but I haven't yet had time to say what book it is - so more to come. (McGrath is a professor at some college in the US) PiCo (talk) 09:32, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

I left a reply on my own Talk page. McGrath's book interests me because it's directly on this subject, but as I say in my reply to you, I'm not sure it counts as RS.

My own interest in religion is purely as history - I have no spiritual/religious "feeling" in me. But I am interested in how these books came to be written, what the original communities and authors were trying to say. And I'm awe-struck at the artistry of some OT works like Genesis 1 and 2-4 - simply amazing, works of literary genius by any measure. But, for me, not spiritual - I regret that I don't understand the spiritual mind - and I rather suspect that my own mind must seem rather cold and strange to those who do.

Edit War at John Calvin

Hi StAnselm, I am having some disagreements with JHutson and we have worked towards consensus. The heading: "Securing the Reformation" does not have consensus, so it shouldn't be in the article. Is that what you are referring to when you say we are having an edit war? When we reach consensus on the heading we'll leave it as we have agreed. Until then the heading does not have consensus, is not neutral and by MOS should not be in the article. Do you think we should ask for help at this point?Markewilliams (talk) 02:42, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

False accusations and warnings

Excuse me for a moment, person who names themselves after a saint on the interent, but please, tell me what exactly it was about my editing an article for relevance and adding legitimate sources to an article constitutes a 'personal attack'? Was it that I stumbled upon a personal crusade you were carrying out against some other user? Or do you just block people for your own personal self-interest? Why do you care so much? Detail what made it a personal attack please?

Who are you, a total random, to be littering my unused talk page? Seems you're the one doing the attacking (from moonandantarctica2) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.181.107.123 (talk) 14:27, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

2nd post from moonandantarctica2:

WHAT!?!? I called the person you were warring with on this public IP address I'm using a 'nutjob', i initially thought your user name was nickD, then corrected myself. So I was saying, 'Stanselm, that guy (you're warring with) is clearly a nutjob, but...'. Please re-read the edit post and it will be a bit clearer in this context. Essentially i was agreeing with you. I certainly did not call you a 'homophobic racist'. You can post an apology for your false accusations and warning here whenever you're ready thanks. I only got involved as I went to use wikipedia and found that the IP address here at the hostel was blocked, so I poked around to find out why, and frankly, because I was bored got caught up in it myself. Just because two people share an IP address doesn't mean they are the same person, or do you not understand how the internet works? As for accusations of 'sneakiness', i didn't bother directly referring to the correction as it was pretty clear from the repetitive subtraction and addition of words displayed on the history that I obviously was maintaining my original approach to the article, therefore only mentioned the NEW addition.

I see from the talk page that you've been involved with this article since 2007. Since the article must still be on your watchlist (how else would anyone have responded so quickly to a minor change), I suspected this was a personal interest in article's topic. Which lead me to your user page and the confirmation of the hunch.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Cotton/Preparationism DYK

Hi; I've reworded the DYK a bit to get it under 200 characters; hopefully that's what you had in mind. Concerning the original DYK: "...that Boston minister John Cotton agreed with banishing Roger Williams in 1635, but supported Anne Hutchinson during the Antinomian Controversy until the day of her excommunication?" -- it was actually worded correctly. Cotton supported Hutchinson until the very day of her excommunication; I don't read it as implying that he dropped his support as a result of the excommunication. She had spent the previous night, and in fact the previous week, at Cotton's house, so that Cotton and Davenport could work on her theological errors. This was very much what Cotton was all about. He would much rather have corrected the errors rather than lose the soul. In fact, he was disappointed that Roger Williams was banished before he could correct his errors (not that he would have been successful), though after the fact he wrote Williams explaining why he had been banished (thus implying that he in essence agreed with the banishment). As I wrote the original DYK, it seemed very clear in my mind, but perhaps others would have interpreted it as you did. Water over the dam. Hope you find the new DYK to your liking.Sarnold17 (talk) 20:30, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

By the way, did you review a DYK article? I think you need to do a QPQ unless you've submitted five or fewer in your career.Sarnold17 (talk) 00:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh, that's fine, if only one is required; seems, however, I've seen multiple QPQs for hooks with multiple new articles. I'm not sure of the requirement, though.Sarnold17 (talk) 01:41, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

No, I was wrong. Wikipedia:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines says "one article reviewed for each bolded article in the hook". I'm actually in the middle of reviewing an article, so I'll be sure to finish it off. StAnselm (talk) 01:54, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

New Testament domestic code

Hi StAnselm. (It's been a while since we've connected.) Hope you're doing well. 1. The concept is aka "New Testament household code". I'd like to establish a redirect from that term to the "domestic code" article. Pls refresh my memory as to how to establish a blank article with the title "New Testament household code". From there I remember how to use Redirect. 2. It needs to be found when one searches for Haustafel or Haustafeln. The German titles are very often used in the titles of English articles written on the subject. What do you recommend? 3. In the literature, Domestic Code is nearly always capitalized. I think I recall that title searches are case-blind, but throughout the article, I've tried to be consistent capitalizing Domestic Code. Do you still prefer lower case for that term in the title? Thanks for your help. Afaprof01 (talk) 22:15, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Duplicate/Overlapping Categories

Hi StAnselm - I wanted to check in on the categories you are adding to many biblical scholars. I think we should make Category: Biblical scholars a parent category of Category:Old Testament scholars and Category:New Testament scholars. I think the vast majority of subjects should be categorized as either Old or New Testament scholar, almost never both, and maybe only occasionally categorized as Old or New plus as a biblical scholar. What think ye? Ἀλήθεια 20:27, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely - that is my intention. But we can also have the nationality category as well, as I added to Paul R. House. I have put a note on the Category:Biblical scholars page to indicate that it is a parent category, and I've been busy recategorizing. StAnselm (talk) 20:41, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Ah, I see that now. OK, I'll take care of doing that for the other articles that I've created. Thanks! Ἀλήθεια 20:49, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Follow up question. Do we really need two categories, Category:American theologians and Category:American Christian theologians? Are there any theologians of other religions in the parent category? I would also be willing to bet that more than a few of the articles in the former would be better categorized as biblical scholars rather than theologians. For instance, just the first one on the list is Ezra Abbot, mis-categorized as a theologian. Ἀλήθεια 21:05, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

No, we don't. There are a lot of silly duplications like this on Wikipedia. It should be changed with a wholesale category merge. The thing is, getting a result at WP:CFD can be a long and tedious process, so it's the sort of thing ignore. As for the second issue - that's something that can just be changed on a case-by-case basis. Many people will be both theologians and biblical scholars, but I would think there has been a fair bit of miscategorization. I only just noticed Category:Translators of the Bible into English - a few of the articles I've worked on needed that added. I also generally add Category:Bible commentators if they have published three or more commentaries. Anyway, thanks for your work. StAnselm (talk) 21:12, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Preparationism DYK

Hi, StAnselm; our joint DYK doesn't seem to be going anyplace, likely because of the double whammy of having two reviews needed, and then my very long Cotton article. Do you think we might have better luck just going with separate DYKs, if we can get administrative approval? There just aren't likely many who want to review two articles together, especially if one of them is nearly 100K in size. Thoughts?Sarnold17 (talk) 18:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Theosis

Think you're wrong about this one. From my reading of the rules, you can't have a "disambiguation page" unless the words have the same name. Obviously "Theosis" is a different word from "Divination" so there must be some explanation why "Divination" could be considered some kind of "Theosis." I will leave it be but am sure it won't last like it is. LCS check (talk) 19:19, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, StAnselm. Could you please stop removing the "Category:Biblical scholars" from articles on biblical scholars? Even though they are also listed as either "New Testament scholars" or "Old Testament scholars", the broader categorization is also necessary if the respective page is to show up when someone clicks on "Category:Biblical scholars". Thanks.

Advice

Just note, if you revert 3 times, and they revert 4, you are still edit warring. Arguing "I only did it 3 times" isn't likely to be taken as a good excuse.
