Difference?

edit

What's the difference between one talk page section on missing material, and my own? Usually I sprinkle "The Article would be improved if..." throughout my suggestion but this time I assumed it went without saying. (Article on SBC "Talk" page that you just reverted.)2603:8081:3A00:30DF:64B9:F991:7457:CF8D (talk) 02:24, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Your contribution read as a question about the denomination's stance. While your comments here on my talk page clarify that you meant to suggest Wikipedia should mention those stances, you didn't indicate that. Often, people post comments wholly unrelated to improving articles to talk pages about religious groups to ask about their beliefs. I encourage you to do some research on the subject of SBC stances towards Judaism and to return to the article or talk page. ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:56, 27 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Licorici of Winchester

edit

Hi, I see you have deleted a couple of references to a new book about the above lady. Not sure why. The book appears to be a reputable publication and is freely available on Amazon. Regards Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:23, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Murgatroyd49: On its face, the book looks reliable. However, the book's author is a creative writer with little to no peer-reviewed history writing. The book itself is not peer-reviewed and was published by a non-academic printing house. The article on the Tower of London is an FA and the one on Westminster Abbey is a GA, so there is a higher standard for sourcing required. If you need further explanation, feel welcome to ask! ~ Pbritti (talk) 14:35, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the reply, I just wondered as, on the face of it, the reference seemed OK Murgatroyd49 (talk) 14:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Netherzone: I am a tad upset, as you beat me to the punch! I had wanted to award you a mark for your incredible research.

The research was enjoyable and interesting to do. I understood your rationales during the discussion even though we agreed to disagree. In the next day or two I'll look back over the AfD to see if there are others to consult before moving the article. BTW, I was hoping to send a you peach pie since the very best peaches in the world are from Colorado, but it isn't quite that season yet. Netherzone (talk) 03:57, 15 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

SCOOCH and the recent edit

edit

Hello there. I had seen your welcome message: thank you! Hope this is the right place to ask this, but may I kindly ask what was the reason for reverting the edit on the Oriental Orthodox Churches page? I noticed that SCOOCH was referred to as the “standing conference” of the OO Communion (while it is merely a regional conference), and that almost the same list of churches are repeated again: hence the edit. Thank you. Hypatiusbrontes (talk) 13:07, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Hypatiusbrontes: First off, welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for commenting here; the other appropriate place would have been the article's talk page. Upon review of that edit, I think my reversion could probably be undone. Your explanation here is clear and I now agree with your decision to remove that content. Thanks for your politeness! ~ Pbritti (talk) 13:18, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I am sorry if this was the wrong place: in further instances, I will make sure to discuss such matters in the talk-page of the article itself. Thank you for your re-consideration: I will re-add the edit. Again, thanks, and have a nice day! Hypatiusbrontes (talk) 13:27, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you today for the article, introduced: "This article covers a disproportionately influential religious pamphlet written by an otherwise minor figure in 18th-century English Protestant history. The pamphlet would prove the primary influence (besides the 1662 Book of Common Prayer) on American Anglican liturgies and served as a catalyst for the Unitarian prayer book tradition. However, its influence on the institution it was explicitly written for–the Church of England–was almost null."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:59, 3 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Sororate Marriage

edit

You removed information pertaining to the Westminster Confession here for the purpose of removing original research, although it was quoting a published secondary source (The Creeds of the Evangelical Protestant Churches by Philip Schaff, originally published 1877). It was linked to the digital version on the Bible Hub site rather than a regular book reference so that those without the physical book could verify the source. The same edit removed info on the Orthodox church's position which was also not original research, just a self-evident summary of the source, though admittedly a more verified source would have been preferable, so I consider that removal fair, even if not for the reason stated. Did you have some other reason besides original research for removing the section on the WCF, though? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.209.202.1 (talk) 18:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Clarification request closed

edit

The Noleander clarification request, in which you may have been involved, has been closed and archived. The request was related to that case's principle 9, which states:

Editors are expected to refrain from making unnecessary references to the actual or perceived racial, religious, or ethnic background of fellow editors. Such references should be made only if they clearly serve a legitimate purpose. In the context of a noticeboard discussion or dispute resolution, it will rarely serve a valid purpose to seek to classify the participants in the discussion on this basis.

Among the participating Arbitrators, there was a rough consensus that this principle remains true with current policies and guidelines and that there is not an exemption from this principle for asserting that an editor has a conflict of interest.

See also section

edit

Hi, based on this edit[1] I wanted to take a moment to check that you don't actually think that see also sections are for "core element of this topic" because that would be absurd. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 17:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Horse Eye's Back: Allow me to elaborate, as you seem a bit confused: an article with <10 views a day is almost certainly not among the most relevant for inclusion in the see also section of the main article of an incredibly broad subject. For example, Anti-Catholicism, listed in the see also, averages over 300 views a day. Not keen on this distrust of other editors and their judgement you've demonstrated here by posting your above comment. Please do review the guidelines for inclusion in see alsos. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:26, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
It seems like it could reasonably be included and more information on the subject can be found there. I don't see anything about core elements in the guidelines for inclusion in see alsos. There were only eight things in the section, so it isn't like that had to be removed for anything else to stay there. I would also note that Anti-Catholicism appears to have been there in error as the concept appears in the article, I have now rectified that error. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 22:03, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Horse Eye's Back: You're being intentionally confrontational. I'm not going to bite, not over a see also link. I'm not sure why, and I'd love to hear exactly why you think a <10 view-a-day article is among the best candidates for that see also. Your attitude of "why not?" is exactly what the MOS for this trying to prevent. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:59, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
That isn't my attitude, if you think there are better candidates then add them... When size becomes an issue then we can talk about removing Catholic peace tradition. Horse Eye's Back (talk) 23:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Horse Eye's Back: Any reason for the misleading edit summary that failed to mention the reinsertion of the contested link? Particularly odd when that article's subject is subordinate to at least two of the superior, more generalist articles I added. ~ Pbritti (talk) 12:48, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't thats part of the error being corrected, there was nothing which suggested that you intended to remove the link either on this talk page or in the edit summary which reads "Accepting invitation on my talk page to add superior see alsos. These two are more generalist." Horse Eye's Back (talk) 12:54, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Horse Eye's Back: Please recall your warning from earlier this year, visible here. You seem intent on trying to make a point, contradicting the view that you're here to build an encyclopedia which won you clemency last time. If you maintain this level of subtle incivility over trivial issues, you are likely to land yourself in the same trouble as before. Please do not message me on my talk page again unless to advise me of mandatory notices or for requests to assistance with instances of vandalism or unverified statements (that kind of assistance will always be received upon request). I hope to see your standard substantive contributions in my watchlist again soon. Pbritti (talk) 13:08, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lout

Greetings, Pbritti!

I used to be known as User:Elizium23, but I can't prove it. I requested a global lock/block from Meta, but per the Stewards suggestion, Elizium23 permanently locked me out of Elizium23's account. Elizium23 is also indeffed on Wiktionary (en). Stewards have hinted that editors could face a global block/ban if the account or editor is blocked/banned on at least 3 different projects. 2600:8800:1E96:E900:218D:D20E:1CB9:C53E (talk) 16:59, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Given what evidence I can see, I'm going to assume you are Elizium. What can I do for you? ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:13, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Actually, considering your block here on EnWiki, please engage with me on the Commons. I'd rather not violate sock rules. ~ Pbritti (talk) 19:19, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Baptism

edit

Thank you for your thoughts on my edit to the Baptism article earlier this week. I do think there should be some mention of this "importance" aspect of baptism in the article. It is not a "personal perspective": it reflects the thought of Pope Paul VI as quoted, and Pope John Paul II made a similar point (see https://saintjohnpaulri.com/baptism-preparation). Weigel's article was moved from "Further reading" (where its relevance was not explained) to the body of the article. BobKilcoyne (talk) 05:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

@BobKilcoyne: If you'd like to elaborate a bit on this, please consider starting a section at Talk:Baptism. I'm rather busy off-wiki, so I do apologize for the belated response. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:38, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

DYK for 8th National Eucharistic Congress (United States)

edit

On 23 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 8th National Eucharistic Congress (United States), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that a 1938 Catholic procession featured 80,000 marchers and one blimp? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/8th National Eucharistic Congress (United States). You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, 8th National Eucharistic Congress (United States)), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
