Please see Wikipedia's Neutral point of view policy

edit

I reverted your recent edit to Ken Ham because it appears that you are not familiar with Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy, particularly how it applies to WP:FRINGE ideas. We do not attempt to create a false "balance" between the mainstream academic view and claims that have no academic support. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:35, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

It may interest you that old-earth creationism is scientifically bankrupt. See https://answersingenesis.org/evidence-for-creation/the-10-best-evidences-from-science-that-confirm-a-young-earth/

It may interest you to know that Wikipedia only cares what mainstream academia thinks -- see WP:NPOV, WP:RS, and WP:FRINGE. Ian.thomson (talk) 00:41, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

(My Response) I will obey the rules, as instructed to Christians in Romans 13. But a lie is still a lie, no matter how many people believe it.

Your user page

edit

Regarding User:SamActs319 please see WP:UP for what is acceptable use and what is not acceptable. Your content appears to be mostly in the "not acceptable" side. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 00:48, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

--- My Response ---

My user page contains autobiographical content. I am not discussing every detail of my life, and believe I am within acceptable use. Thank you for your time.

Are you really sure you have read WP:UPNO? particularly "Generally, you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal website. Your user page is about you as a Wikipedian, and pages in your user space should be used as part of your efforts to contribute to the project." Because a lot of what you have posted, it if applies to you as an editor and how you will be editing, flies in the face of most of Wikipedia's content policies regarding WP:V / WP:RS / WP:NPOV / WP:FRINGE. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:25, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:SamActs319

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:SamActs319 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://gotquestions.org/faith.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Contested deletion

edit

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --SamActs319 (talk) 01:25, 4 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

GotQuestions.org is a Christian ministry. I simply used their statement of faith as a basis for mine, and properly gave them credit. I am very confident that they will be okay with me using their material as a basis, and you can contact them. If you would like, I can edit it even more. I think Mr. Thompson is only persecuting me simply because he does not like me, as this can be observed with the several accusations he's made.

Also, this is not a general Wikipedia article but simply my user page. If it is still an offense, I can change the content.

Thank you for your time.

Blocked as a sockpuppet

edit

--- My Farewell ---

Today, (7/3/15) Mr. Thompson falsely accused me of sock-puppeting (I switched accounts because I did not like the name I had on my previous one). I suspect the reason he did so is because he hates me because he hates Jesus Christ even more, whom I identify with. I also suspect I was not given fair treatment by the administrators for the same reason. Mr. Thompson may think he has won now, but he will answer to God for all of his sins, unless he turns from them and trusts in Jesus alone. It is my hope I will see him in heaven, and I fully forgive him for his crimes.

Also, reader, I hope to see you in Heaven too. Please see this: www.needGod.com
