Answer to Job

After taking the Father Victor White Article page to a decent level now. It leaves Answer to Job, the much harder to work on page! Being versed on the Book of Job is not easy in itself and the correspondance that produced "Answer to Job" is not easily available!

Is it OK to try? It means seeking out the latest on "Answer to Job", i.e.: the most recent publication. And can you help?

MacOfJesus (talk) 19:23, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Of course it's ok to try. You don't need to ask my permission. Not sure how I could help though.. -- œ^™ 18:42, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

The correspondence between Father Victor White and Jung lead to this publication and getting hold of it is going to be the hard bit!

Thanks for getting back to me!

Dear OIEnglish, Marcusmax has dug out some very useful sources. This is by no means an easy study, and unfortunately the access to the correspondence that led up to the publication is not at hand!

Personal tutor / deleting and removing

In the talk page of ACEOREVIVED, a note was made to the deletion of this person's article page : Personal tutor, on the grounds that there was one already.

Epistemology

Dear OIEnglish,

I have encountered another situation, that you may be able to help on.

I have been making comments on the Talk page of Epistemology. The page, the Article page, is out of date and does not cover the complete field. This point has been very well outlined by a very studied and clear comment in the talk page at point 15; "Epistemological Theories and Irrationalism". I have made comments to the same end but received only one comment that was dismissive.

A good page on this topic would be key to the status of Wikipedia.

Could something be done to attract top people of this field to correct/ or make a new page.

Again Thank You,

MacOfJesus (talk) 12:59, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, you can try to be bold and expand the article yourself to bring the article up to date. Or, to attract a subject matter expert you can try placing the tag {{Expert-subject}} with the related subject as a parameter, ie: {{Expert-subject|Philosophy}}. -- œ^™ 21:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, I don't feel qualified enough in modern thought on this, although I have studied Existencialism. I would love to speak to the originator of point 15: Epistemological Theories and Irrationalism, and invited them to speak. I will speak to ACEOREVIVED on this.

Once again Thank you.

MacOfJesus (talk) 22:29, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

The originator of the post was User:Brizimm, as can be seen with this edit. You can try contacting him at his talk page, but unfortunately this user has not edited since July 17, 2006 so you might not get a reply. -- œ^™ 22:55, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

MacOfJesus (talk) 16:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Huh? Andrew Fader? who's that? The guy's name was Brian Zimmerman. -- œ^™ 19:14, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I left a message on both pages: Brizimm and Andrevan, it looks like they are the same person? You indicate they are one and the same! He leaves a message not to speak about his change of name! Pardon, if I've made a mistake!

MacOfJesus (talk) 22:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh! no no, User:Brizimm simply left a message on User:Andrevan's talk page explaining how he can be contacted, I was NOT indicating that User:Brizimm IS User:Andrevan. The person who wrote the study WAS User:Brizimm who WAS Brian Zimmerman. and in this message to Andrevan he explains he how can be contacted. -- œ^™ 22:33, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Clear. OK. MacOfJesus (talk) 23:26, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

What about next point? From all angles I do think this is an error. MacOfJesus (talk) 23:36, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry I don't know what you're referring to. Please clarify 'next point' and what you think is an error. -- œ^™ 23:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Next point is; Father Victor White, the name of the Article page has been changed from "Father Victor White" to "Victor White (Dominican)". This is an error as I explained in the "next point", under heading "Father Victor White". (I'll explain under that heading).

Father Victor White

Dear OIEnglish,

Sorry to have another thing to sort out!

As you know I have written on the Article page of "Father Victor White" on his correspondence with Jung. Now the article page has been changed to : "Victor White (Dominican)". This is not correct as Jung corresponded with him as "Father" not as a Dominican. Father White studied Classical Theology and Classical Philosophy for his Priesthood, and it was in this capasity the correspondence originated. As you know in the Dominican Order has both Brothers and Priests and the training for each is utterly different. It is therefore essential to the Article page that the "Father" remains. Jung knew him as "Father" not necessarly as a Dominican.

As you know I have had to study to write on the Article page of Father Victor White. This is unlike, for instance, Paul of Tarsus, as he became Saint after his death, as in the case of all Saints. Father Victor White was in the letters and correspondence of Jung in this capasity from the beginning.

Hence, can it be reversed?

MacOfJesus (talk) 16:07, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Reading the Article page, one will see that the correspondence was with "Father" V. White was just that, not as he as a Dominican. As a writer of the article page together with ACEOREVIVED I can say that this change from "Father Victor White" to Victor White (Dominican) is incorrect.

Can it be reversed?

MacOfJesus (talk) 11:13, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Yes, anything can be reversed. I'm unfamiliar with the subject so I can't say either way which is right but hopefully you can work it out with another editor if you write your concerns on the talk page. I'm sorry it took so long to respond here, I just take a while to respond sometimes ;) -- œ^™ 05:45, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, OIEnglish,

I've done that. Every line of the article page indicates that the title should be reversed. The very conflict was over the Nature of God!

In my entry on the Article page of Father Victor White, I deliberately kept to ordinary language and words avoiding (where possible) the jargon of the experts. It should be easy to follow. The only unusual conceps are: privatio boni, and empirical thought.

privatio boni, simply is one of the principles of Classical Theology which explains evil as the absence of good.

empirical thought, is that thought that we know emphatically, that we know without reference to anything else. That, for example; I exist.

MacOfJesus (talk) 12:03, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I am looking at "Answer to Job", and The Book of Job and the Wisdom Litrature again preparing an entry in Article page: "Answer to Job". However, I am reluctant to progress, at this stage, as the error of naming the Article page Father Victor White remains incorrect. This error spills over onto the source of conflict: "Answer to Job".

Re: Nihilism

I take very strong exception to the edit summary which accompanied this edit. I would like you to point out a single edit I made to that article that was anything other than reverting vandalism, removing uncited information and commentary, or, in one case, restoring an earlier version of the lede that had been completely rewritten without any discussion. None of this indicates "ownership," the offense of which you accused me. Furthermore, your edit summary for 11:48, 28 December 2009, "Music: don't have a citation but it's very evident," is bollocks and you know it. I removed the statement with an edit summary requesting a citation, and reverted an anon. who readded it. When you "reverted," you actually added references that back up the statement, but you did not say so in your edit summary, instead you made an unfounded accusation against me, which seems utterly gratuitous. As an admin., I should think you'd know better. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 23:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I retract the accusation I made against you. Looking back on the incident now I see it was silly of me to quickly judge you the way I did. I was probably just a little sore that I got reverted; you were right, I should've added a citation right from the start. Please accept my apologies and I hope we can work together in the future. -- œ^™ 07:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Apology accepted. Cheers. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 17:46, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Saint Dismas

Dear OIEnglish,

In this Article page, the first I've written on, I have place in on the references the tributes to the 4 sources to the work I placed in, and attempted, to indicate which source was to which writing. I thought I did this OK? However, now the sources are dublicated and triblicated, although they indicate correctly to the particular writings. I am not familiar with the cleaning-up procedure, and would rather leave it to an experienced Editor such as yourself. If you wish I can reaffirm which source to which writing. Help!

I think the page is one to be proud of now!

MacOfJesus (talk) 23:13, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

It looks like another editor already tried to clean up the footnote referencing. I furthered refined it, everything looks fine now with the references, they are formatted properly according to the Manual of Style. -- œ^™ 23:59, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank You, OIEnglish,

That is what I had in mind. It is now good. This is the way it was, I think, apart from the "< >". I was a little reluctant to do this myself in case I got lost!

This Article page Wikipedia can be proud of!

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

• gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

• ascertain whether there is support for a 'two-phase' poll at the eventual RfC (not far off now), where CDA will finally be put to the community. Matt Lewis (talk) 01:54, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

How to initiate discussion for blocking an IP user

Hi OE, thank you for your welcome. For the most part I have been able to figure out WP, but I have run into a problem. I was on The Tonight Show host and timeslot conflict when I noticed vandalism by 98.212.224.178 How would I go about blocking this user from editing? First, the editor in question has made several edits, all of which were in some form vandalism, and continued to do so after appropriate warnings and over enough time to know that it is a static IP. The user seems to fit all the requirements for at least a temporary ban, but all the articles are unclear as how to start a community discussion on the user to get a consensus and effect such a ban or block. What do I need to do? Thanks, Somedaypilot (talk) 23:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

I have placed in the No: [32] for the cited work manually, as I do not have assess to "The Notes" for entries, so placed at the end, of Notes. This links to Cornelius Clifford's work in the 1930 Encyclopedia. This is for the Article page: Saint Athanasius.
