Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Nymf _hideliho! 06:23, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Gen. George Thomas

I re-edited the article to put back in

In 1831 Thomas and his family were nearly caught up in the slave revolt of Nat Turner. Whilst some repressive acts were enforced following the crushing of the revolt, Thomas took the lesson another way, seeing that slavery was so vile an institution that it had forced the slaves to act in violence.

Yes, Turner was mentioned in the previous article, but nothing about Thomas' life-changing reaction to slavery following the revolt

Montalban (talk) 12:46, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you at least for putting the information in the correct location. Please provide a page number citation or remove it. It is unfortunate that Bobrick is now introduced as a reference to the article because his book is really a substandard biography and I have avoided citing him up until now. I have balanced his opinion with that of a more reliable biographer, IMHO. Hal Jespersen (talk) 18:52, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

There's a number of references given on the General G. Thomas entry that only have an author, such as "Einolf". I think these need to be proper (more academic) references, with book title and publisher details.

Thanks for the page number. These are abbreviated cites that are read in conjunction with the full publication details in the References section, as we do in hundreds of ACW articles. See User:Hlj/CWediting#Citations and Footnotes. Hal Jespersen (talk) 00:24, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

BTW, just so you know, on en.wikipedia, User:Hlj literally wrote the manual of style for military biography. So if Hal makes a suggestion as it regards style, he knows what we've been doing better than anyone. Doesn't necessarily mean he's correct in every circumstance, but he's an extremely respected editor in this interest area. Just FYI. BusterD (talk) 04:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

I'd prefer to discuss issues in talkspace as opposed to via personal message. No offense intended. I agree Cimprich was a disappointing read. I was hoping for more than a half page devoted to his upbringing. Sorry I couldn't provide more or better help. BusterD public (talk) 16:08, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Your PM about Lee

Blame this fellow. He started the hero worship. The Lost Causers developed this entire mythology about Lee. Lee was a special soldier and demonstrated his enormous resourcefulness and value as early as 1847. His successful ACW campaigns gave him a legendary status. But if Lee had been born at Arlington instead of Stratford, he might have stayed in the Union Army and the war would have likely lasted a much shorter time. And but for a horseshoe nail (so to speak), it might have been W.W. Loring, not Jackson, who became Stonewall. But as my late father used to say, if a frog had wings, he wouldn't bust his ass a'hoppin'. BusterD (talk) 04:46, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Co-Redemptrix as Church doctrine?

Your comparison of the papal infallibility theory before 1870 with the "co-redemptrix" title of the Mother of God today is a good one. The co-redemptrix theory is not yet (if it ever will be) a Church doctrine now, but only a theory that (some) Catholic theologians hold and that they explain in different ways, and that other Catholic theologians deny on different grounds. If it is ever raised to the status of Church doctrine, the definition of the doctrine will clarify in what sense the Theotokos can be called co-redemptrix, as happened in 1870 when the theory that (some) theologians had been maintaining was clarified, so that the Church doctrine excludes the idea that every doctrinal statement by a pope is infallible.

Would you please explain what is "the English remonstrance to Parliament" that you write about? What were the English remonstrating about? Was it during Pitt's first or his second period as Prime Minister? Since you say Pitt was making suggestions to the remonstrators with a view to granting Catholic emancipation, they surely weren't remonstrating against the Act of Union with Ireland, passed during Pitt's first period as Prime Minister, or were they? Esoglou (talk) 14:54, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

You know what they're writing about - you even changed the article (improving it) by adding in that it was about Catholic Emancipation. Montalban (talk) 21:55, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I just don't know what the English (which English?) were remonstrating about. Please let me know. Esoglou (talk) 07:32, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Saints Sergius and Bacchus 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. --Cúchullain ^t/c 12:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Some help on this one

Hello I was hoping for some help on the Latin Patriarch of Constantinople article. All kinds of Pro Roman Catholic things that are historically inaccurate and basically just propaganda are in the article it almost makes no mention of the way the office was created nor what it's purpose was. It also does not cover aggressions committed against the Orthodox by way of this type of power being created (for example the things done to the Orthodox when the Crusaders took the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem).

A most important understanding

I would like to create an article on the subject of Romiosini. However I don't really have the time. I think it will do much to give people an understanding of the ethnic identity of the Eastern Orthodox Christians in the Mediterranean in the post Roman Empire. Here is a good article about the subject of this ethnic identity as Romiosini and or Political Hesychasm by Daniel Paul Payne [3]. Allot of Eastern Orthodox apology against Western Christianity, is encapsulated in this "movement". Of course if people don't know anything about the EO then they will know even less about it's history including things like who Philotheos Bryennios is or The Patmias Ecclesiastical School Island of Revelations theological school. I would like to create an article on the Patmos school as well, since it was founded in 1733. LoveMonkey (talk) 14:47, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Some history

Here is a tiny snapshot of a book [4] the book is this one. [5] This position is one that has had a very clear influence on Romanides. This passage covers the overview of the Normans as the allies of the Italians whom warred against the East Roman Empire. Note that this war (around the time of the schism) has a long history before the schism. Also it has consequences to it that Europe will not able to accept. Note this passage.

"The Norman attack on the Byzantine empire had no little influence on the situation in the east. For one thing, it strengthened Saladin's position on the eve of his conquest of Jerusalem. Up to this moment the alliance between the Latins of Jerusalem and the Byzantines had proved one of the bulwarks of the Christian position in the east, withstanding even the test of the common defeat at Damietta in 1169. But, in fear of a Sicilian (or even a combined German-Sicilian) attack, Andronicus had accepted Saladin's overtures and concluded a treaty which was later confirmed by Isaac II Angelus. The Kurdish leader maintained good relations with both Isaac Angelus in Constantinople and Isaac Comnenus in Cyprus. On the other hand, while the attack on the Greek empire had brought the Sicilian king no gain, and probably a serious loss of prestige, it considerably weakened the empire on the Bosporus and showed the way to the conquest of 1203-1204."

It is a component to the East West schism that the attacking of the Eastern Christian communities by the Roman Catholic raiders precipitated the fall of the Eastern Empire to the Muslims. This is something that is not a very popular reality for the Western Christians to accept. That their forefathers attacked and weakened Eastern Christians so much so that an alliance with the Muslims (to protect the East Empire from the Normans, Italians) was actually pursued. It goes from there that the Egyptians had actually done this first. This entire aspect is missing from the Western depiction of the subject. This is critical to understand that actual history of Greece during this time, a history that is not covered nor even acknowledged in the West. LoveMonkey (talk) 17:47, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I have just noticed that someone has created a separate article about "Saint Sarkis the Warrior". Actually, Saint Sarkis the Warrior represents the same personality of Saint Sergius.

I had not seen any reasons for why my section was twice removed. I would like to think you wrote to that person and suggested that they are edit warring also.

Montalban (talk) 09:37, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Besides the fact that like me he is an Administrator and thus extremely familiar with what edit warring means, he only reverted you once, thus not edit warring. Doug Weller talk 09:41, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

In any case, trivial mentions of possible locations don't belong in the main article but at Location hypotheses of Atlantis. But you would still need consensus to add it there. Doug Weller talk 09:43, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

Clarifying what 3RR means

Your recent editing history at Atlantis shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your 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. Doug Weller talk 09:38, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

User:Doug Weller

Interesting that if two people are adding/reverting material only one is in an 'edit war'.

And hey, if you feel that this sort of material is not serious but belongs on a totally different page - even though the main page has speculative other locations, then you obviously see a significance there too, that I do not see.

Thank you for cut n' pasting what 3rr means. I am not a full-time writer here so am not aware of this.

Montalban (talk) 09:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

There are 4 people involved. 3 are reverting you. That almost always means you need to stop and get agreement. I suspect that there are some mentions in the main Atlantis article that also don't belong. Note that the discussion about the Richat structure started before you added it, you are not being singled out and you're not the first one to be reverted for trying to link the two. You'd know that if you'd read the other discussions. We may end up with a mention in the appropriate place, but the sources need to meet our policies and guidelines as does the wording. Doug Weller talk 09:58, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

How come there's more people adding in stuff that Richat Structure is Atlantis than reverting it, yet the people reverting it all claim that it is all one person? It seems inherently dishonest, to me. A compromise surely is to recognise that this is what most people consider to be true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.179.159.63 (talk) 13:46, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

So how many, 4 billion people believe it? In any case, we have guidelines and policies on this, and the Richat structure is mentioned in the article. The current problem is the attempt to publicise a conspiracy theorist. Doug Weller talk 15:03, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

It seems totally silly to have a section in the main article about other possible sites and then to have a totally separate article on other possible sites

A page you started (First Amendment audits) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating First Amendment audits, Montalban!

Wikipedia editor Doomsdayer520 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for your new article on First Amendment audits. I strongly recommend expanding the article with more robust examples from the sources. Also note that the article is an "orphan", meaning that no other Wikipedia articles link TO it. This makes the article hard to find for interested readers. See WP:DE-ORPHAN for pointers.

Sleep Walk

Please see WP:IPCV. In popular culture items must be accompanied by a ctation that establishes the significance of the reference, not merely that it occurred. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 00:22, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

The significance is that the song is used in a film. This is rare. I cannot quantify rarity or significance... both are subjective

But the fact remains the song is used in a film of similar name. If you can point out a plethora of other movies that use this track then I would say its use in this film is NOT significant

Montalban (talk) 01:10, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I have now included the fact that the song inspired King to write the screenplay that the film of the same name... which it would not take much to conclude that is why they put the song of that name in a film of that name.

"Inspired by the Santo & Johnny song “Sleep Walk,” (the Sleepwalkers dance to a record of it in the movie), Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers is the first screenplay he wrote for the screen."

It seems to me rather silly to have to go to so much effort to prove the 'significance' of one song.

Thank you for providing a proper source. Please note that IMDb generally should not be used in citations, per WP:RS/IMDb. Cheers. DonIago (talk) 15:07, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

I appreciate the notification, though it's probably something you have to do

The First Amendment Audits (1AA) are also simply called ‘Audits’ in the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

This is a vibrant new phenomena challenging bad policing and bad public policy to uphold long held legal principles, such as free speech and freedom of assembly

I will not participate in the discussions. If people at wikipedia so hate freedoms then so be it.

I have noticed - and I do not know who is responsible for the linking but a number of times I view these 1AA YouTube videos there is a link below to Wiki’s article on sovereign citizens which itself is a slay attack on the 1AA community by associating one thing (about upholding the law) to those who don’t believe the laws apply to them at all.
