I would really like to work with you rather than against you. We seem to have had a few tussles here and there and frankly they aren't necessary. It would be great if we could try to respect each other as knowledgeable and respect the others edits. It really frustrates me when you completely refactor my edits, and you seem to do it so frequently that it makes me feel my edits have no value "because Jeffro is just going to delete it or change it." I'll make an edit, add a reference and can often predict how it will be changed even though I've tried to be careful and precise in the wording. It puts you in a position over me (authority) rather than beside me (equal). I know JW and Bible Student history like the back of my hand, and perhaps you do too. But we've both been on Wikipedia for many years (2004 for me) and should by now know how to work together. It's possible that the conflict comes from similar personalities. But I'm trying to be a peace-maker here and hopefully it will be taken in that spirit. [[User:Pastorrussell|Pastorrussell]] ([[User talk:Pastorrussell|talk]]) 20:34, 23 January 2011 (UTC) |

Re: Intellectual Honesty
I would advise that you take this up at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, as that would be the more appropriate venue to deal with this guy's constant reverting of your redirect. I will certainly offer an opinion in that discussion if you open it. -- RoninBK T C 21:00, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll let you know if it comes up. The editor appears not to have been active since August, but has had lengthy periods of inactivity before.--Jeffro77 (talk) 22:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
Conservopedia
Please god tell me you've read some of the stuff on Conservopedia.....I was crying I was laughing so hard at the idiocy of the whole site. I even created (using a simple user-box creator) a special userbox for my user page. Wow.
Conservopedia is Insane | This user believes that Conservopedia is Insane, with a capital "I". |

- Never heard of it. Just looking at the home page—their 'article of the month' claims links between atheism and obesity—the degree of bias and ad hominem would drive me crazy if I looked much further.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:04, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Founding date of Bible Student Movement
Hello! Hoping you are well. AuthorityTam has initiated a discussion on the date for the founding of the Bible Student movement. It is located on the Talk page of said article. It came about as a result of my changing the date on the JW infobox from 1876 to 1879. AuthorityTam disputes the change. I would greatly appreciate your take on this matter.

Wondering
I was just wondering if you'd take a look at this discussion and give your opinion on it. It is my belief that this information is important to the history of the sketch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Celebrity_Jeopardy!_(Saturday_Night_Live)#Recent_Edits Vyselink (talk) 21:40, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
- I have no opinion.--Jeffro77 (talk) 22:28, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
Discussion invite

Review
Hey, i have just cleaned up the David Wood (Christian apologist) article which you voted for deletion. Do you still maintain your original position? Someone65 (talk) 03:24, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
- My position has not changed. Most of the refs are still personal websites, along with some news articles about Wood's arrest along with other anti-Islamic protesters. I therefore do not believe that the person is sufficiently notable to warrant an article.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:02, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
Working With Each Other
I would really like to work with you rather than against you. We seem to have had a few tussles here and there and frankly they aren't necessary. It would be great if we could try to respect each other as knowledgeable and respect the others edits.

I'll make an edit, add a reference and can often predict how it will be changed even though I've tried to be careful and precise in the wording. It puts you in a position over me (authority) rather than beside me (equal). I know JW and Bible Student history like the back of my hand, and perhaps you do too.
