Image filter referendum Timeline wording: "spam mail sent"??
Hi Casey:
I know I'm not the first to notice & be taken somewhat aback by the choice of words "spam mail sent" on the Referendum's Timeline. Could you please explain, as posting author, the choice of words here?
Someone else has already tagged it for clarification.
I think this phrase is a public relations blunder on the Foundation or committee's part! Thanks for any enlightenment on this, either here or on the notice's Discussion page. — DennisDallas (talk) 11:03, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
- It's a little bit of comic relief. :-) It's actually pretty common to talk about mass e-mails as spam, even if they're not abusive and unsolicited. Even though the people we're sending it to care about it and can opt-out, we're still sending a mail to tons of people, so it's spam. ;-) Someone else thought it was a weird phrasing too though, so they just removed the word "spam". Thanks! Cbrown1023 talk 14:48, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

We have pulled the article cited from our web site pending an investigation. We would like the source link removed until we finish our investigation. How can we get that removed?

Discussion Page Vandalism
Hi Cbrown1023,
The discussion page for the article titled, Comma Johanneum, appears to have been vandalized or highjacked. Almost all discussion over the last several years (a lot of information) has been deleted and has been replaced by comments by someone identified as "StevenAvery" during September and October of 2011.
I don't know whether this person identified as "StevenAvery" actually is Steven Avery or whether this person is someone who is pretending to be Steven Avery. What I do know from non-wiki discussion forums regarding King James Only-ism is that a person identified as Steven Avery frequently presents himself as a PRO-Johannine-Comma zealot.
Since the deleted material on the discussion page for the Comma Johanneum article was almost entirely ANTI-Johannine-Comma in nature, it is logical that the mentality of a PRO-Johannine-Comma zealot might be responsible for the deletion of that material.
When material is inappropriately deleted, is it gone forever?
In the article itself, a new section titled "notes" features 12 notes that are pro-Johannine-Comma. I don't know whether or not the person identified as "StevenAvery" on the discussion page is the person who added those 12 notes. I I don't see anything wrong with adding pro-Johannine-Comma material either to the article itself or to the discussion page, even though I strongly disagree with it. It is, after all, the other view regarding this topic. However, I have a big problem with previously existing material being arbitrarily deleted, as has been done on the discussion page.
7Jim7 (talk) 22:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- UPDATE. I reverted the discussion page for the Comma Johanneum article to what it was before it was replaced by Mr. Avery's comments. It now contains the preexisting material plus some comments that Mr. Avery add to it. I left a message on the discussion page and on Mr. Avery's talk page stating what I did and telling him that he can add whatever comments he wishes as long as he does not delete the preexisting material. I'll wait and see how he reacts. 7Jim7 (talk) 16:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- UPDATE 2. Please disregard my previous complaint. I've discovered that MR. AVERY DID NOTHING WRONG. The older discussion material had simply been automatically archived by Miszabot. I've reverted the discussion/talk page for that article to the way that I had found it, and I've apologized to Mr. Avery on that discussion/talk page and on Mr. Avery's talk page, and now I apologize to you for involving you in what turned out to be my false accusation against Mr. Avery. I'm sorry. Jim. 7Jim7 (talk) 05:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

can you please help me edit?
Hi Cbrown 1023,
Can you please help me change the following inaccurate information about Tarawih (Muslim prayers during the month of Ramadan)
It mentions the following in the sub-article...
Tarawih (Arabic: تراويح) refers to extra congregational prayers performed by Muslims at night in the Islamic month of Ramadan. They are not compulsory; however, many Muslims pray these prayers in the night during Ramadan. Some scholars maintain that Tarawih is not a Sunnah, but is the preponed Tahajjud prayer shifted to post-Isha for the ease of believers.
Please change the part that says "Some scholars maintain that Tarawih is not a Sunnah" this is incorrect information because the Tarawih is definitely considered a "sunnah" or prophetic action/tradition,he was known to have prayed these prayers. Otherwise millions of Muslims around the world would not have prayed these extra rewarding prayers in the month of Ramadan, although not mandatory, today millions of Muslims still pray them for extra good deeds.
So please change it to "the tarawih is considered a sunnah (prophetic action) that Muslims around the world until today pray to follow the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him)"

This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:11, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |
