[edit] Two users discontent

They want the AOY article deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.103.241.89 (talk) 12:12, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] list of new religious movements

Editor2020 , you appear to keep an eye on List of new religious movements -- Partridge with 27 others has a book out on new religions that has a better categorization of them than in the Wiki category of new religions. Redoing the Wiki would be a lot of work but I may be able to help it a bit by adding 2 categories from Partridge - Western Esoteric and New Age and Modern Western Cultures. Several of the current categories would then go in these and permit adding several that have no category as of now. Is this OK with you?Jlrobertson (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Sure, it's fine with me.--Editor2020 (talk) 01:23, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Christian apologetics

Hi, I'm curently working on the John Smith disambiguation page. A couple of days ago you put a list of prominent Christian apologetics on the talk page, including John Smith. I was just wondering if you could tell me which John Smith you mean. Thanks. (Quentin X (talk) 12:22, 14 January 2009 (UTC))

I cut and moved that list from Apologetics because I felt it would be more appropriate at Christian apologetics, so I'm not sure who is being referenced. Sorry.--Editor2020 (talk) 14:33, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

This one looks appropriate. John Smith (Platonist). At least he is categorized as a Christian theologian.--Editor2020 (talk) 14:38, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Why did you change category

Why did you change the category from Religion to Religions of California for the Fellowship of Friends article? The church is headquartered in California but has global membership? Thanks, --Moon Rising (talk) 21:59, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Because the article says that it is just a local congregation in California, not a denomination or a global organization.--Editor2020 (talk) 23:30, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

The the article states: "The Fellowship of Friends has 60 centers in 32 countries worldwide." I consider that a global religion. Do you agree? BTW, where is the list where you found that the category was questionable? I've added the HotCat gadget - it's great, but can't find the list. Thanks, --Moon Rising (talk) 23:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, the word "congregation" in the intro led me astray. I would suggest changing it to something more appropriate to a worldwide organization, ie "religious group", "organization", "religion", something like that.

I know of no list of questionable categories. Just go to Category:Religion and note the articles listed there. As you can see from the articles in this category, this is a general category and specific groups aren't listed there. If FOF considers itself a separate religion perhaps Category:Religious faiths, traditions, and movements might be better, or if it considers itself to be a denomination or subdivision of another religion, faith or movement, perhaps in that group's category.--Editor2020 (talk) 15:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I've added Category:Esoteric Christianity, as that is the self-description on the FOF website.--Editor2020 (talk) 15:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation of the different religious categories. I've deleted "religion" as you suggested and replaced with "religious faiths, traditions and movements". I think that's close. I removed esoteric Christianity. If you read the first 2 paragraphs of the web site more closely, you will see that the church has moved away from that (the Fourth Way - and the teachings of Gurdjieff & Ouspensky). Thanks also for your tagging the page. --Moon Rising (talk) 22:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] CfD nomination of Category:List of artists that appear on ROIR

Thank you. I believe it is a good idea. I am new to Wikipedia and do not really know how to navigate as well I would like. I wanted to say that I believe that it should be ROIR and not "Reachout International Records" as the full name is not used much and has not been for a long time. Anyway, thank you for including me in the discussion. Many "old school" Wikipedia editors tend to be rude, arrogant, and may even come across as bullies in the way they bulldoze through others contributions. I appreciated the heads up from you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrnickcooper (talk • contribs) 19:01, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. Although I might sometimes fail, I try to not be rude or bully other editors.--Editor2020 (talk) 18:38, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
